Usually if a question thread is unattended for a long time it gets pushed to the back since the ones in the front are always the latest ones . And obviously the more it goes to the back the more chances of it never getting attention again because most of us don't go beyond the first 10 pages Does anyone know a way to bring it back to the front ? The traditional way is to write something on the comment section of the thread to bring it to life again but is there any other way ?


Assholes are people, just like you and me, except they remind us that we all need to self-reflect once in a while!

Nope, I'm afraid that bumping a thread is the only way to bring it back to life. The traffic isn't all that high on Lush forums however, so a newly created thread will likely remain on the first page of a section for a few days; I've visited crowded forums like bodybuilding.com where a new thread would end up on page 10 after only a few minutes (very serious).

My own line of thought is, if a thread doesn't attract a whole lot of responses in that initial time period, it most probably never will, no matter how many times you bump it. Don't take it personally when that happens, you can't always guess what others will be interested into. I've created a few threads that received absolutely no responses myself, while a few of my other ones are still gathering frequent feedback after more than 3 years.

This thread has gotten hardly any attention at all!

Sorry, I couldn't resist.

I've had little luck in starting threads that gain any traction, so I decided to stop trying.

I certainly would try to track it down and give it another try. Or if you remember the title, change it a wee bit and start it as new. You never know. Good luck

No offence but try making a good one. So far I have yet to see you do so.

You should make up a fake female profile with a picture of a random barely dressed woman as an avatar, and then ask the fellas if they'd rather fuck you in the mouth, fanny or the black hole. That should do it.

Or you can just wait and wait, and quite often the thread will come to life again. Sure, 90% of the time it will feature people arguing about something unrelated to the original topic (welcome to the interwebz), but perhaps any attention is good attention?

Other than bumping the thread with a comment to bring it back to the front page, really the only thing one can do is give the thread a great start. An eye-catching title/topic and a first-post that sets the mood and inspires discussion is really the best thing that I believe could be done. I skip over many threads either because the name doesn't pique my interest or when I do open and read it, it's nothing but terse responses or person after person basically saying the same things over and over again.

For example
1)
Topic: What do you like to do on the weekend?
First post: I like to hike. Anyone else have favorite trails or other activities?
2)
Topic: Weekend Hikes, Favorites and Tips
First post: I love to go hiking on the weekend, mostly easier trails that I can knock out in a short afternoon but occasionally I'll take on an all day trek. I'm curious if anyone else prefers the quicker, stop-and-smell-the-roses kind or has advice to tackle the behemoth trails.

I know that I certainly would rather spend time in thread two verses thread one, even though both could lead to the exact same discussions.

I can’t think of a good tagline so this will have to do. Suggest a better one for me?

A thread like this might work for kiera (sorry kk, but you are pretty sexy),
maybe not so much for you though.
