I've seen many threads flop (including mine), so I'm wanting tips, help us newbies out by telling us your thoughts on how you think you keep a thread alive and getting those posts rolling in

The easiest way is to either start a stan war in Base or start a thread where people can share their "real" wild sex/drug/etc stories in The Lounge.

Shade shade and more shade

Make it a shady thread and the stans will come running in like dogs to a pussycat

Ask people to talk about themselves.

Yeah, everyone loves to talk about themselves

I can see a lot of reporting happening in threads like that

Owl you keep doing the most promo

I'll keep that in mind.

Well this thread flopped too.
Try to keep it alive. That's what i have seen helps keep it on the lines of being popular.

Ask dhila.

Include 'gaga' or the phrase 'your fav' in the title.

People love talking about their favs. And people here love talking about lady gaga wether shes their fav or not. They're just obsessed. Its embarrassing.

What is this obsession with having a hit thread? It's so stupid.

Make a discussion about Rihanna vs. any pop star
