I honestly hated this round because I never understood what the point of it or how to do well in it. Base threads that are submitted usually don't get that well received and lounge threads that are "hits" are just random (Credit Card Girl, Dan's Foot Fetish). So you're kind of just going in without protection hoping not to get aids.
It's semi-frustrating as there are also no guidelines to what the judges want since I don't think you can be "good" at making threads. Personally I think it should be reworked or have something done to it.
Don't lash me Matty its just my thoughts.

I appreciate your thoughts and anybody thoughts, I mean it helped shape this cycle more.
This challenge isn't about who is "good" at making threads, it's more about how well can you make a thread. The type of threads you make can either make or break or you. You can constantly make trolling threads, constantly make Christina threads to prove she hasn't been a flop lately, constantly make threads that have members thirsting over sexual male parts, etc. It's all about quality and how you present yourself to the forum via a thread. If it's a hit, cool for the summer, if it's not, good for you. If I believe correctly the person who got called first last cycle had one of the least in views/replies, but the judges thought it was the best in quality.

I actually think this is a pretty important challenge tbh.
Most of my threads flop, but I blame that on the subjects of the thread, not myself as a person.

I just noticed that too, but I'll just keep pretending CFTS was a bigger hit.

That's flopping? I think only one of us has a thread with more than 2 pages.
