-How come when someone makes a thread there is always 15 similer ones that follow it?
For example.. Someone made a top 10 thread
well now there is like 7 top 10 or top 12 threads.
am i the only one who noticed this?

Its just that when someone notices a thread is popular, they make one because they want their thread to be popular too. I'm guilty of that...  |

Even though there have been many copied threads, they all came from an original idea, and a lot of ideas have been taken already.

It is human nature. If someone comes up with a popular idea, then others will copy it, trying to get a "bite of the pie".
Want a real world example? "Reality TV" - It went from a couple of shows on one channel to every channel having their own Reality TV garbage.

I've never understood what was so cool about being a thread creator? Isn't contributing something to an already existing thread, adding something to compel others to post more valuable then simply starting a thread and letting the pieces fall where they may? Is it the idea of starting a thread that will become popular? I've always thought the people who replies to the thread are the ones who should take the credit for the thread. They are the ones sustaining it, keeping it active. I can create the best thread in existence, but if no one replies, it will never be anything but a dead thread. It is rare for me to start a thread. I'd much rather contribute to an existing thread, hold a discussion with my fellow members and friends then I would solely be concerned about being the guy who started a thread. Unless you are a thread starting genius, like Rich, let the talented thread starters start threads, and focus more on adding constructive, and entraining replies. GT as a whole would become a better place.  |
