What are the threads that keeps you away?
When you see the name of a thread, what makes you decide wheather to click on it or not?
Are you one of those guys that read EVERY thread?
I avoid sports threads.
Yeah, me too.
What else keeps you away?

History trivia; inadequacy issues. "Topic started by Siege" also usually has me dreading inane comments and thinking up insults, but I'll give you a pass for now, since you've been getting hammered tonight.

You are a retard.
I always read your posts myself, even though I think you are beyond help.
I read all the threads.
Though I really regret that one about the anal beer bongs :x

Yeah, I read that one too.
I ran away like I had a hajj battalion sized element on my tail and I had no ammo, if you get my meaning.

Baggins, stop lying. You have no cats.
Jaron ate them all.

I'd be more worried about Yi or Mono eating them :raciss:
In general I have absolutely no interest in politics threads (specifically American politics :bleeding: ) but this place is a bit different than most forums. :captain obvious: Every thread has the potential to go almost anywhere, and even when it is ugly it is usually worth watching.
Depends how bored I am and how slow the forum is
The rule isn't what the thread is about but more where I am.
At home & I only read whats interests me.
At work it's every thread.
I avoid sports threads that talk about stuff that doesn't interest me (American Football, Baseball, College Basketball, Cricket,...), the blatantly spammish Off Topic Topic and What are you eating/drinking/listening to ones and the ones that get hijacked into arcane and/or circular debates that go nowhere.
Computer problem threads.

Sometimes there's really interesting post in that thread. You are missing out.

Oooh, those too, and the "Help me buy a new computer" ones as well.

How often is "sometimes"? Every 10 posts? 25 posts? 50? 100?
Same rate then any other Languish thread really.
But it seems that you're just difficult.

I'm not even sure what a "far left liberal topic" is.

Considering it's Siegy, maybe allowing women to vote. :P
All of them. I'm a CIA AI and I have no mouse.
Sports threads. :rolleyes:

What do you have against interesting subjects?
I like my threads to have a mixture of snark, actual content, argument and funny. Too much of any one thing for too long bores me, no matter what the title.
Sports threads.
depends on a few factors... 1st if it's a cleverly titled thread, 2nd... it appears to be a popular thread ( and likely entertaining for this reason) 3rd ... who started it/topic is something I'm into.
certain threads like Movies, comics, books "unified" threads I peruse daily even if I don't post in them.

Funny since letting Jews in the military used to be a far left position.
