How many replies do your threads usually get?
Hundreds, every time.
Bajillions. Every. Single. Time.
I don't make threads that often, but excluding the one that is still up, I've made 10 threads so far this year. Four threads got zero replies, two got one reply each, one thread got 8 replies, another one got 24 replies and two threads both got around 500 replies each. I've had four failures but I think overall I'm a successful thread maker.
