Sex. Drugs. Barack Obama. Cherry Pie. Liquor. Sex.

[Danoz]

I'd like to encourage everybody to check out the unoffical IRC chat of the TrekBBS (actually at http://www.trekirc.com). We're a small group of decided chatters, but it's a good time. I'd like to encourage some more of you to start being "regulars" -- even if you just decide to set up your IRC chat and idle like most of us . It's

#trekirc (irc.sorcery.net)

Oh, and to tie the title of the thread back to title I used...

What kind of thread titles do you think are most attention getting? Sex? Drugs? Food? What buzz-words do you think promote the most click-throughs on TrekBBS? I've decided to make this a poll:

What themes on TrekBBS make TrekBBS goers involuntarily open the thread?

1. Sex related.
2. Politics.
3. Food related.
4. TEH BABA
5. Squggy shenanigans

 

[Capn Flukie]

Squiggy Shenanigans. Duh.

 

[Mallory]

One vote for teh Baba just because I'm so used to selecting that poll option.

 

[K-Star]

I would join in the IRCness if the campus network allowed it...

 

[Gryffindorian]

tits too

 

[cardinal biggles]

I dunno, chat just hasn't been the same since that slacker Emh left to join the Navy.

 

[Amaris]

I dunno, chat just hasn't been the same since that slacker Emh left to join the Navy.

We could get him drummed out.

That would be hilarious. Yeah Meh, we wanted you to do well in the navy, but we'd rather be entertained. I'll try to remember to log in again when I get the chance (although I use chats far less than I used to because they suck up my time).

To answer the question, you missed one. Jayson threads will always be opened. Aside from that, whatever catches my eye. Politics are up there, but plenty of non-political threads as well.

 

[Zulu Romeo]

Cake.

 

[RJDiogenes]

Trek Chat has always been fun when I stopped by; unfortunately, I just don't have the time to do so on a regular basis.

As for Thread titles, I always find sex appealing. Politics makes me throw up a little. And Jayson is always good for a a laugh and an interesting perspective.

 

[Goliath]

Thread titles--I honestly don't know what catches my eye.

I checked the last ten Misc threads that I opened. They were:

Haven’t I Paid My Debt to Society?
SUPER HOT FIRE or BACON Choose one…
The Copper Standard? New World Currency?
Remake Mnemonic memory circuit into Stone Age electronic calculator
SEX OR PIE
Youtube Symphony Orchestra
Novel titles and copyright
PETA – at it again…
Truth about Columbine and the Killers
Opinions on Advance Australia Fair

I don't see a pattern here. Maybe I need a larger sample.

 

[gwud]

Jayson's threads and sex, sex, sex. Which come to think about it are quitre closely related.

 

[Emher]

I'm a horny buggger so sex.

 

[An Officer]

I will open most things with the exception of politics.

 

[miraclefan]

^WOW! Thats how one can tell a poster is serious, he posts TWICE! I voted Politics, I'm a sucker for those!

 

[ShamelessMcBundy]

Squiggy Shenanigans. Duh.

Seconded.

 

[An Officer]

^WOW! Thats how one can tell a poster is serious, he posts TWICE!

Damned connection got interrupted! Evenings and weekends are horrendous!

 

[Kemaiku]

Sex. I'm shallow that way.

 

[ShamelessMcBundy]

Jayson's threads and sex, sex, sex. Which come to think about it are quitre closely related.

I love it that it's all sex with you.

 

[gwud]

I'm not getting enough so I have to make do with talking about it.
