Thread starting ain’t easy, you have a thought, you think others will give a shit, you post, and you hope. While I’ve had some successful ones, it is the flops that I stay up late at night thinking about while plotting my revenge against Shermanity..

What nobody has found anything new that they like? Nobody wants to share something that other sherdogges might enjoy. Y’all being selfish

Unique posters = 4 Best post in thread @I Am Legion

Fully expected a lot more mug shots, maybe I should have called it "who here has the guts to posts their pint glass shots but then the clever thread title twist would have been lost. Please feel free to show them pint glasses too...

there were some good posts by @fingercuffs @Kardashians @ChickenBrother @TheChance and @Zer I think, but overall lack of participation by many Sherdrinkers kinda hurt.

I still think g-spot shurikens and explosive cum gel packs are funny but I got savaged by some posters I really respect here, so maybe I’m wrong….Nah I’m still right but the thumbs down from Fedor and @Law Talkin’ Guy in a single post and @Slobodan and @High Test With da Best rejections still sting

Nobody has anything they want AI to do for them? Special thanks to @tonil for an on topic reply and @Contempt for a funny on target yet disturbing gif

In this case all 3 of the scavenger hunts were an epic epic epic, did I say epic failures. I thought for sure at least 1 would be recovered. So right now there are still mystery prizes hidden behind books in IL, SC, and NY and because of that this rabbit still drinks and cries.

Do you have any threads you thought should’ve done better on their first go round that you want to bump here?
 
I wish that how is toast guy did more YouTube videos. He's a pretty cool toast.
 
Pro tip: Talk less. Make your formatting (paragraphs, text structure) better

Not being shady, it's just a fact that people have limited attention spans. When I was a teenager and just starting to use the internet I would write walls of text on forums. Naturally nobody would read it. I learned that brevity was the name of the game. Whatever ideas you have, cram them into one really good, condensed paragraph that covers everything you wanted to say. Something easy, smooth and fun to read. It's a skill.

Man I feel like I spend every waking minute in Mayberry yet somehow I missed all of those threads.

Sorry toasty.

Perhaps some of them are asking too much of your sherbros. Taking a pic of your mug and posting it requires effort. Participating in a scavenger hunt takes effort. Hell even reading some of your OPs takes effort, even though I like them, attention spans seem to be a thing of the past.

The worst thing about being a thread starter is that you'll inevitably get a few replies like "shit thread" from people who never start threads of their own. It is a thankless job, but without thread starters, this place dies even faster than it already is. Keep fighting the good fight, sherbro. I like your threads.
 
Did not read.
Just letting it out there
