My best thread so far is "How's the weather where you are?". Second is "The Weekly Survey".

My worst is "On The Buses", over in General Discussion. TWO replies- and one was mine, telling Phillip to wipe it!

Maybe, oh well, at least I'm treated well here. BTW, I think your fanart is very cool, it's just that Fan Fics and Fan Art is one of the forums here I rarely go to.

Well I just checked the list of threads I've started. Out of 26 threads all have received at least one reply except for one, so that's pretty neat. So that one that got no responses would be my worst thread so far. And it kind of surprises me that it flopped so bad. It's called "Talking about the muppets outside of this site." Since we're all such big muppet fans I was curious if anyone else like me ever talks about them outside of this site, such as with friends, family, or at school or work. Maybe I just posted it at a bad time and then it soon got lost in the shuffle (cuz sometimes I've noticed a particular thread will get no responses but then if someone a long time later revives it [or the person who started the thread itself adds to it later] then suddenly an avalanche of posts pour in.
And the best thread so far is "Cookie Monster 'eating healthier' in the news". Just a modest 22 replies, but a big 836 total views. The "wisdom teeth" one comes in second with 19 replies. That was nice to get that many, just as it's nice to see any threads regarding health, concerns, etc. generate quick and frequent posts. Shows the friendly and caring muppet spirit here!
By the way, D'Snowth, I'm proud to have revived the "Green Acres" thread you started last year and turn it into a pretty active one (though you and I account for 26 of the 32 posts! heh heh heh )!

Matt's Greatest Hits...or failures. whatever.

Unfortunately, my favorite thread was wiped out when the site purged the old games section, so, here are a few of "Matt's Greatest Hits." Or...failures. First, the failures, as they are much, much better (and by 'better,' I really mean 'lamer.' :zany: Lamer IS a word, right? Oh well, let's all take a trip down memory lane, or at least the 15 people that are still on this site that were here when I posted all of these. :wink:

Boglins
In this thread, I tried to begin a discussion on the Boglins rubber monster puppets from circa...1988ish that really didn't go anywhere...

Why I stopped posting at night when I tend to be out of it.
I so totally thought I saw a commercial for Kermit.

Why doesn't anyone make Fraggle Rock MIDI or at least tabs?
I've been wanting to learn how to play this song for years.

Here are a few that actually went somewhere...

My MC essay
From back in the day when I kept the forum open when I wasn't even at the computer...:embarrassed:

TV shows that annoy people
Hard to believe a thread I started actually caught on. ...for a while...

Muppet Babies plushes
Phil actually made this one a sticky for a while.

My collection thread
I seriously still get PMs and emails asking for stuff off this list, despite the fact that I hadn't been on the board in nearly a year.

D'snowth; you an' me could be called the Thread Killas! The best thread I ever started was "Lot's of MP3s, Wanna' trade?" my worst threads are personal defeats; almost all my fan art threads, sadly; barely anyone commented on them. :cry:
Hey check it out! It's the birth of T.K.O.!

I'll update too though, but before I do, it's always great to see JediX!

Okay; so here's the greatest hits of yer' ol' buddy Vic Romano:
Lots Of MP3s, Wanna' Trade?
A whopping 779 replies, but an amazing 15,776 views!!!
Muppet Questions You Were Afraid To Ask
Originally this thread went about two pages deep, but recently I revived it ballooning it to 113 replies!
Muppet Reality Plot Taped Last Summer
My first and only ever Sticky!
Vic Romano's Weekly Creative Muppet Visuals
Updating it once a week helps, but regardless, this (my most proudest thread) is doing very well so far. 102 replies, but 1,268 views!
Online Muppet Story Books
Also a work in progress, but a thread that has even gained popularity over at Tough Pigs!

Honorable Mentions
Show Me Your World
A fan favorite and a good way to get a look at what some MC members look like in real life.
Didja' Ever Get The Feeling You Were Being Watched?
It got to four pages discussing how many guests vistit MC.
Check Out My Muppet Comic
Granted it only went to three pages, BUT it actually got it's own thread over at Tough Pigs (I was tipped of by someone here who pointed this out to me). So all you cats at TP, thanks for the look!

Big Defeats and Failures
• My first fan art at MC The Anime Muppets, Tributes and My Muppet Sketch Book barely got any posts, but the absolute worst with one reply was my fan art Spider Gonzo. That was depressing! :rolleyes:
• But out of the 47 threads I've made, Jim Mentioned In Lucas' New Book was the only one to get ZERO replies. That always kinda' surprised me.

My best thread is OOPS at 31 replies.

My worst thread is "You might be an insane author if..." in Friends and Family, but that doesn't really count because I posted it in the wrong place and told people not to reply. So really my worst thread is Good Times! Good Times! at 5 replies.
