I have found that a lot of the time when your threads get a lot of attention it is because people are fighting in them. I'll take a three response thread in the lounge any day over a 300 post barn burner in GD.

I noticed that you have been posting a lot of music threads. People usually do not respond much to music threads from anyone, especially if it's mainly just a Youtube video. It's not just you.
