The Promote Your Thread...thread.

[Joelcool7]

No offense I don't usually have that problem with my threads. Though I wish sometimes I did, like the recent poll about how powerful PS4 and Nex-Box should be, I didn't go high enough in the poll. I was embarrased and hoped the thread would die. But everyone went mad and the thread is doing amazing.

For some reason I think the worst I've ever done was at least two pages. It may be the topic's you are choosing or the quality of the thread, maybe you aren't being provative enough or maybe your too provocative. I dunno but this thread to promote threads seems alittle shameful to me.

If your thread fails as Mr.Bubbles said maybe bump it once, if it still fails just realize that the thread just wasn't what the readers wanted to discuss. Its nothing bad on you, just you picked a discussion that people didn't care about.

Let me give you a slight pointer, you made a great chart. But Pokemon Scramble is not a big game and nobody has huge expectations for it. Using Pokemon Scramble in the title and as the main topic of the thread probably contributed to its death. A good way you could have spun this thread and made it successful is to challenge and get people thinking.

A better title could have been "The downfall of Pokemon, will Scramble change the tides for 3DS" A brief fact I believe it was the tenth anniversary Nintendo Power Magazine that said not a single Pokemon game shifted less then a million units at that time. Then you could show the chart you made showing how many Pokemon titles today were hovering around 300k lifetime sales. You could then talk about everything you did in the article. But go on to talk about whether Pokemon Scramble could boost 3DS hardware sales in a way similiar to OoT. You could have then asked "Or will Scramble, scramble Nintendo's chance at dominance failing like so many other recent Pokemon games settling for mediocracy.

I bet if you had rephrased your topic like that and spun your article in a thought provoking more provocative manor you would have gotten at least a page or two of replies.

Don't worry I guess everyone has a few duds, I'm pretty sure if you go back far enough you'll find a dud or two of my own as well. Just think what do the readers and VGChartz users want to discuss. Is your thread going to entice conversation. Is it provactive and out of the box. If it is you have a good thread.

Heck I'll bet you right now, if you take my advice and re-spin your thread. It will get more hits then the one you have right now. Though re-posting threads is not really allowed to my knowledge. I guess just keep my advice in mind.
