To make a thread really work it needs to be a democratic process.
What are your rules for a perfect thread?
What should it include?
What should it avoid?
The Thread that's Doomed to Succeed

Having Steve Sunshine make it.
I was going to say that it needs Nil to make the first post.
I think this ones going to be a winner
It needs to either have a very good point to make, or to be totally pointless. nothing in-between will do.
Some of the longest-running threads involve the passions; sex (Who do you fancy?) and anger (things that piss you off)are both huge. Also, Status report, simply because a lot of people are interested in talking about themselves.
Include = Scandal.
Avoid = religion and Politics.
So it looks like wer'e phooked.

It's their misunderstanding, I just happen to be in the conversation.
