Threads you started that you thought were going to be HUGE hits but were HUGE fails? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Janice Johnson · 02-17-2022, 01:56 PM

On a Michael Jackson Fan Website, I started a thread called,"Celebrities who have not aged well?" Thinking this would be a HUGE hit. I got three replies all calling me a jerk for starting that thread and then an Admin posted something like,"Two week Suspension for disturbing the peace. Thread closed." I was stunned. I was sure this would be a HUGE thread, not a thread that would respond in me being called a Jerk and be closed after a couple of replies, me Suspended for two weeks and the thread closed. In hindsight, I shouldn't have started that thread on a Michael Jackson Fan Website since he didn't age well due to his plastic surgeries.

Ironically, this one?

I'll have to admit, I sincerely believed that my "Does Joe Biden want war"? thread was going to have all the other members struggling among themselves for first turn to kiss my fanny. But it didn't seem to work out that way.

Yep, it is interesting that this very thread ended up being ignored for about a week before you responded.

But it you consider everything that he went through, I don't believe that MJ aged badly.

Most of the threads which I start go nowhere.

Can someone please reply to my thread titled “The Mastersons: A project I’m currently working on”. I think it did gain 7 or 8 replies, but half of the replies were me, replying to one person. I’d really like some feedback.

Does the word “please” seem a bit too desperate?

That's what happens when you start so many.

At times I've counted and she's started 20+ threads on page 1. Almost all nonsensical.

I've posted a few on chit chat about life topics in general and didn't expect a lot of replies and didn't get hardly any, I thought I'd get some about "mother" thread, but nope....I guess too mundane for this crowd.

But the "browser tab" thread which to me is a nothing, got so many replies?????????

I was surprised the Mother thread didn't get replies. It should have. I'll be respond to it in about a minute. I promise.

You will never know which thread will take off or not.
Sometimes, people will just find it easier to reply to fluff threads and ignore more serious stuff.

I remember on YouTube a video about Alyssa Jackson, the Woman who faked Cancer and got $50,000, a free car, free meals, etc from concerned Good Samaritans, and was arrested, tried, convicted, sentenced and jailed, someone wrote this witty and original Comment. "She should be Sentenced to Cancer with no possibility Of Parole." His witty and original Comment was ignored yet Posters who kept repeating the same Comment about A Lyssa not being a Cancer Patient because her eyebrows were still intact got lots of replies and likes. REALLY weird.

The fluff stuff I normally ignore. So many people don't care and fluff excites them I guess.

Or they could need the fluff to relax from the harder stuff in life.
