Posting on D.U. hurts Like Hell!

There is always the possibility your post will sink like a rock, get flamed, so many things that can go wrong...

[olddots]

1. I still hold the record for sinkers

and the speed record for sinkers so there neener neener

[warrprayer]

3. close second here

especially youtube music posts! Like Led zepplins!

2. It's always interesting to see what will happen.

I usually think and rethink most of the threads that I start. Sometimes they go the way I expected in the first place. Sometimes I am surprised because once set in motion there is no telling which way the wind will blow, the tides of time are ever shifting.

5. all in a days work

on the best democratic website in the world.

7. meh

It is work tho

[mercymechap]

4. AT least you know in most cases

that there will be some positive feedback, not like some other forums where they attack the truth and twist it.

6. I find the lounge

to be the nicest people and the kind I like to hang out with. The level of kindness and caring here is off the charts.

9. I'm so glad to hear that,

it's refreshing just to be able to hang out with people who have similar ideology.

8. It can also be hiijacked and become a porn, vegetable, aviation, or kitteh thread.

The possibilities are ENDLESS! And SOMEBODY has to start the threads so someone can take it over for something completely unrelated like engine displacements, heart valve technologies, varieties of aardvarks, sizes of ship masts, distances between planets, subspecies of single-celled creatures, or card games or something.

Without the initial post, how can these things happen?

10. The rule seems to be, if your OP sinks...

...post five more, in quick succession.

11. Try, try, and try again.

You never know what will work.

12. Its enough to make you feel insecure about feeling insecure about being redundantly insecure .

13. Hey, when I first started posting

If I replied to a thread, it killed it.

Sometimes that power still crops up.

In fact, I posted something late last night in GD and now the whole forum is gone.

[warrprayer]

14. Yeah

G.D. was missing this a.m. too!

[GoneOffShore]

15. And I thought I'd killed this thread.

Obviously my power's are waning.

Probably because I'm in France right now.

[warrprayer]

16. lucky!

It must be the wine....

[GoneOffShore]

17. And the view - From the apartment we rent -

22. Beautiful view!

[OriginalGeek]

23. I agree with ITW

this looks awesome. Just a couple steps and you really are gone off shore!

[GoneOffShore]

24. That was in September - Though it's not much different now.

If the EuroMillions tickets or the PowerBall hit, this is where we're going to be.

[In_The_Wind]

25. Seriously ... Good Luck!

18. Post a Rush (the band, that is) thread.

The handful of Rush fans will jump in, and the legions of music fans will post to comment on how much Rush sucks, or how horrible Geddy Lee's voice is.

But it's guaranteed not to sink!

[OriginalGeek]

19. No true music fan

would say Rush sucks.

[Bake]

20. Ah, but I notice that you're NOT defending Geddy as a great singer!

A-HA!!!!!

21. lol, yeah, I don't have much credibility there

I think THIS guy is an awesome vocalist:

eta: Even better - judging by the angle of this video, I was standing just to the right of the guy filming at this show:
