How To Find Good Ideas For a Thread

I get that sometimes it's hard to think of things, but don't think of making a topic just for the sake of it. Think about questions that you've had. Or perhaps experiences that you want to share. Or perhaps you found a news story that was particularly interesting. Or even better, a topic that pulls on your existing experience and teaches people something. But if all of that really fails though, then it's probably time to get out and see new things, and have new experiences.

i had a brilliant idea for a thread about dragon dildos that would have been well received but some dumbass deleted it because hes scared of publicly addressing his dragon dildo fetish then issued a peepeespanky notice for 'spamming and advertising' when it was perfectly obvious to anyone who isnt a fucking retard it was not only a valid thread, as confirmed by a quote in the article, but it was in no definition of the term 'advertising.'

retardery...ftw. all hail arniefag, the worst admin in the history of the internetz

It had a link to the bad dragon site (maybe another link) and a couple images. That's not a thread. That's garbage. And now you're blatantly derailing. Hope making that post was worth it.

So the subtext I'm getting here I'd you're not happy with the recent string of new threads. I'm not sure what to say on that, but you know you can't mandate creativity. The more you try, the more IS will actually be right.

Ok, I just got back from that. I think every forum ends up with one eventually. Certainly every forum I've been on.

I've never heard of that specifically, although I've definitely heard of the make-something-post-by-post threads.

That's More Or Less What I Was Referring to. Infinite post count threads that are very low value.
