Does it get more popular because people doesnt know exactly what the topic is about and then click on it ?
I'll try that next time I make a topic, woops I already did.
Sometimes a goofy title is fun, but a lot of times... I just don't get naming threads arbitrarily. I hardly think it attracts attention, however naming it something explicit like "help needed with super hard problem that will suck your time and I won't even be grateful for your help" might drive people away.
Also, people are lazy and uncreative sometimes.

ITS MAGIC *cough*

I don't like misleading ones. On another forum there was a thread title "Woman without a face found" which was simply about that German cotton swab manufacturer contaminating their products.
Part of it is the slowness of the forum. If it were bigger with tons of active threads and I wasn't able to check all of the threads, I probably wouldn't be attracted to this one. I'd look for ones where I could potentially help someone or maybe see something neat.

Aye, it is a rather small and quiet community compared to some forums out there. I prefer this type of community though.
Me too. It's just a shame that there are some bumps in the community; like wrinkles in a shirt.
But there are worse people on different forums, so I guess compared to every other forum, this one is one of the nicest I've seen. (Not saying this one is BAD or anything...)
