None! A remarkably unimpressive feat considering I've only made 3.

I had a Simpsons thread once and nobody cared about it. It made me sad because I wanted to see people's opinion on it, I really liked my thread :(

I love the Simpsons! If I knew about it, I would have bumped your thread multiple times to get more people to comment. 

Actually you were the only one besides Mr. Khan to reply to it...

Either a thread you got no answers at all, or you didn't get the answers you were expecting/wanted, or whatever you understand a failed thread is!

It could happen for different reasons... You made it at the wrong time, like when a huge news come out and everybody pays attention to that, or there are much more of other pooular threads (this is my dilema). You did it after a more popular user (and a better thread overall) did it. You made a worthless thread and not even trolls go look at it. Or I don't know, the Gods of VGCharts don't want you to become popular...

I've had about 4 or 5, and it was a combination of the things I listed up there... If this becomes a failed thread, I'll try to bite my dick

The trick is either to be nonsensical, insulting, misleading, or intriguing.

What you're trying to say is that a proper well made informative post with reliable sources where someone spent a lot of his time investigating and redactating the text so everyone would get the point will usually have more chances to bump miserably than "lol dickbutt" posts?

 

Sounds coherent to me, but that only makes me wonder what the Internet has done to my mental integrity.

Yes, yes, and yes.

This man really gets it.



In my attempt to make The Top 300 Games thread earlier this year, I wanted to make 8 posts so that I could properly separate the different groupings by post.

So I created a thread titled DO NOT POST OR I WILL BAN YOU FOR SPAM (Seriously Don't Post) and Kirby007... posts in my thread. So... I give him a day ban for spam.

Then I try it again with the title of DO NOT POST OR I WILL BAN YOU (Take 2: Because Kirby007 Can't Read and Is Now Banned) and... Kirby through his alts posts again. Permabanned. Then Barozi bans to rub it in. Banned (hey, I gotta remain consistent. ).

Once more with the title of DO NOT POST OR I WILL BAN YOU (Please, Do Not Post -_-) and... Kirby uses another alt to post. Permabanned. And another user laughs at this modern day tragedy. Banned too.

Took an hour off to not punch a dolphin, then finally went back and created the thread. Fourth time's the charm.

omg lol :D Kirby loves you too much, those poor threads are tragically badly timed.



Why not check me out on youtube and help me on the way to 2k subs over at www.youtube.com/stormcloudlive

I've got a failed thread going on right now :( I suck.



"Games are a trigger for adults to again become primitive, primal, as a way of thinking and remembering. An adult is a child who has more ethics and morals, that's all. When I am a child, creating, I am not creating a game. I am in the game. The game is not for children, it is for me. It is for an adult who still has a character of a child."
