"Basic guide to a good/bad thread"

carpe diem.

But my question is about why people here should be motivated by the earnings of the web site owner? I'd be interested in your answer to this.

Why must you twist everything so that it comes out grotesquely distorted? Is it really the only way you know how to conduct a discussion, by distorting elements so that you can attack them? Mister Moggy made the process perfectly clear. Good posts enhance the forum experience, a good experience will make people want to come here, this may generate revenue for the site. Why that should be difficult to grasp i cannot say.

I don't see any validity in the assumption that a contributor to a message board and member of a community like this one would or should be motivated by the income earned by the commercial entity that the forums are created by.

If either you or Mister Moggy can explain the link between Russ' earnings and the content or subject of threads (that are not created by him) - and how or why concern about those earning should influence what individuals write here - then I'd be interested in hearing the explanation.

But I am not questioning the process as Mister Moggy sees it. I am questioning why people here should be motivated by the earnings of the web site owner.

What about getting lots of thumbs down, surely that is a key indicator that a thread OP is bad?

What kind of opinion about your thread OP would contravene the forum guidelines and terms of service?

i am so ashamed, and humbled, by my lack of common sense and general intelligence as to how to create a thread that would create interest amongst my fellow jerks...
this must be due to having been born with an incomplete brain, and growing up in a swamp, raised by crocodiles and snakes and mosquitoes and mud puppies...
i admit my faults, especially those caused by myself, to myself...
i came here thinking, and that, is the main drawback, thinking...
if only i could stop myself from thinking!!!
then, perhaps then, i could more accurately spew garbage accrued from other websites, letting others think for me, and finally being FREE!!!
alas, tis not to be, for i have drunken sixteen cups of hi-test this morning, and i shall be a whirlwind of incredible proportions on this day...
fueled only by the elixir of "bad thread booze", and excreted by the foulest of methods,
directly into yer waiting minds...
again, i ask yer apology, to me, for being so much better than thou, and above thee...
or, not, as thouest see fit to doest...
and,
my keyboard seems to have slipped into jobs mode again...

edit: he has already done the same thingie, just a google search...
i intentionally ignored his "request" for me to post the link to the information,
simply because his obfuscation in general deserves tit for his tat...
now,
i appreciate you being genteel and acknowledging his "request", yer a fine upstanding guy...
bostobobolo is not...

wow if ever there was a post that is more a reflection of the person who made it rather than the person that its seeks to vilify, yours is it.

the good thread is the one who brings one to the forum and thus to the site and thus money to russ.

learn to see the real world,.

A couple of questions about this "real world" of yours:

When a poster sits in front of a computer and contemplates what they should start a thread about ~ and assuming they are intent on starting a "good" one ~ I cannot see the relevance of 'how much money the web site owner makes'. Can you explain why anyone should?

Do you think this community would be better if the General Forum had, say, 5,000 regular posters?
