I don't make that many threads, myself. Except from the occasional mock or parody thread to poke fun at something or other. I guess with the birth of this thread I can add another category to my thread portfolio! Namely the thread inquiring about randomly selected trivialities. The ones that only ever result in a waterfall of short posts nobody really reads... oops!
I rarely make threads and the majority are in the spam forum. Like my duck thread.

Read: I don't get your post at all, GreyClock!
Mostly nonsense.
Preferably involving a giant JPEG.
Really shitty threads.
lol, this'll go over the heads of so many people
Uh oh, why is everyone looking at me?
Either threads about cool stuff I just got and want to share with people, or spam forum threads.

I didn't pay much attention to the first post, but looking again I get it. I don't see why it would be hard to understand.
Oh the irony.
I kinda sorta get the irony...

Well usually I'd pick green.
sucky threads.

What does the color green have to do with this conversation?
threads that prevent me from dieing of pure boredom, mostly it's about nonsense
A wide range! Stupid irreverent topics, threads about forum/ internet habits, internet things I've found, occasionally movie/ tv threads and news threads. I make probably 2 or 3 threads a week.
Quote from: Kombucha;907093Yeah I got the joke.
me too be you can't help but post! At least it's a more interesting question than "HOW TALL ARE YOU".
Quote from: TriangleClock;907090lol
Oh, okay, the irony is what I suspected it was.
Crappy ones 99% of the time.

omg wtf
I usualy ask questions in my threads.
awesome ones
ones with crappy titles
looking over my thread history they're either: drunken threads, parody threads, threads where i try to get people do something and threads i know will get alot of posts, i.e. what did you get for christmas?
40% showing people actionscript stuff
30% interesting/serious stuff
20% jokes/spam
10% debate/other
better ones than anchor
Threads with stuffs.
I make very few threads, and usually when I do it's just showcasing something I've made in the art forum.
I make alright threads, but when I attempt to be funny, all I do is trip over my feet.
threads that make people hate me
ones that usually have something to do with gwar of daft punk
I make threads whenever I have curiosity of what people think about something.
What’s interesting about that sequence, of course, is that the crows are voiced and animated as African-Americans, though they’re just crows. Many of those featureless roustabouts earlier in the film appear African-American as well; but they are people, and they don’t talk or sing. They are bit players. The crows are more significant to the plot. While they start out with ridicule— though a rather odd sort of ridicule as it’s directed at the notion of a flying elephant—they’re quickly won over to Dumbo’s cause by a “sermon” preached by “reverend rodent” (Timothy Mouse). They then work with Timothy on a scheme that succeeds in getting Dumbo to fly. That is to say, they provide both social support and practical aid. What interests me is the specific role these African-American crows play. For that role is deeply sanctioned within American culture. Though I’m not prepared to sketch out a history, I can give some salient examples.
Perhaps the single most important example is Mark Twain's The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn. Huck’s father was an abusive alcoholic who beat Huck so frequently and badly that Huck finally decided that he had to run away in order to save his life. In the course of running away he met up with Jim, a slave whom he knew and liked, who was running away as well. The fact that Jim is presented as simple and naïve shouldn’t blind us to the fact that he plays the role of a supportive and nurturing parent to Huck. Here then, at the canonical heart of American literature, we have an abused white child seeking solace in the company of an African American.
And that’s what Dumbo does. A couple of years later Disney does Song of the South—which I’ve not seen since whatever fragments showed up on Disney’s TV program—where the frame story has the same situation, a white child finding solace with a middle-aged African American, good old Uncle Remus. A few years after that, in 1950, Kirk Douglas stars as Rick Martin in Young Man with a Horn, based on the novel by Dorothy Baker (which, in turn, has some relation to the life of Bix Beiderbicke). Rick Martin was orphaned as a young boy and came under the spell of jazz. He was befriended by Art Hazzard, an African American trumpeter, who gave him trumpet lessons and acted as a father to him.
Anything that comes to mind if i think it's worth a topic.
All my threads are shit :(
Some post about me in which I ignore and quite possibly restate the opinions of others.
