A author I will never be

As I retreat from LBPC to stew things over, I need advice on how to make a good thread. Not a 20 page tread but something that will hold attention and not draw critasim left in the comments. Please, I need help.

I need advice on how to make a good thread.

Umm. Why?

You shouldn't really make a thread just for the sake of making a thread. I'm sure when you have a good reason to make a thread, then things will be different.

What I'm talking about is how do you make a thread interesting, not something that just blathers on and doesn't make a point

You don't really have much control over what others will reply to your thread. I'd say the more interesting the first post is, the more interesting the replies are likely to be.

Perhaps if you examine the threads which you found interesting, you might be able to work out what they have in common.

Hi there, id just like to say that how about not posting a thread until you come up with something really interesting. People like responding to interesting threads, if they are boring you will be either ignored or given grief about it! lol

Some people tend to post threads for no reason (im not saying you do) so try not to be that way. Wait until you have something that will keep people interested and it will keep the thread flowing for possibly a long time!

Hope this helps orang!!

I only make a thread I WANT to talk about.Like something that is bothering me, Interests me, or to promote something. I dont just create for points. Creating threads just for points is... sorta... like.... dare i say it... H4H.

Post a thread you find interesting and will provide good discussion value.
