This tells me that some of you people are slacking.....

[Wolf Hopper]

I know for a fact that some just do not feel comfortable starting a thread - for whatever reason. Nothing wrong with that. Some like to start convos. Others like to wait to react to someone else. Different strokes.

[JamesI]

I sure am!

[Gosfgiants]

Isn't that part of the moderators jobs? I start the occasional thread when the mood strikes me. Those that do start threads do a pretty good job of it. Otherwise, I wouldn't be readin this thing all the time.

[Wolf Hopper]

Actually, it's not the moderator's job to start threats. It's their job to make sure that the forum rules and community standards are being practiced by all - and to help with questions, etc.

They are not required to be official thread starters.

[sweaver]

I feel it's part of my responsibility to start threads, especially since I frequently troll the 'net for news and come across little tidbits. But, like Wolf says, some feel comfortable and some don't. Others would rather jump into a discussion than start one. I think it might be part of my teacher training that makes me comfortable framing questions for discussion, and less likely to fret if they don't stir a reaction. There's always the next question.

[pwdennis]

Sorry, but I've been one of the slackers. No imagination, I guess. I do start a lot of threads at another forum but that is (generally) outside the realm of baseball.

[Ytown Tribe fan]

What's the record for most threads started with no replies?

[Joseph]

What's the record for most threads started with no replies?

What about a discusion creation average (zero reply threads)/(total threads created)

or more advanced meterics like:
TARP-threads above replacement poster
RNPC-reply neutral post count

[gyb13]

What's the record for most threads started with no replies?Man, the tasks you give me when i come home alcoholized on a thursday night....ok ;) here goes, straight outta the elephant graveyard (min. 2 threads):

6 chrisfostermusi
4 chriscary
3 smedindy
2 braveswin
2 bruce markusen
2 cpultravox
2 historymajor46

[Craig S.]

Gyb - At 2:30 in the morning, after a night of drinking, I would think your most pressing project would be sleep. ;)

[sweaver]

You misunderstand. He'll only look up something like that IF he's drunk.

[gyb13]

what did i do last night?
:beer: :cheers: :drool:

[Skip]

:beer: :cheers: :drool:Hopefully not followed by :bigbarf:

[gyb13]

no, nothing like that....

then again, it's good to see that few threads wind up with 0 replies...

[GGC]

I know for a fact that some just do not feel comfortable starting a thread - for whatever reason. Nothing wrong with that. Some like to start convos. Others like to wait to react to someone else. Different strokes.

I'll start a thread when I have a question to ask. And I will usually respond to topics that interest me which I only see covered here (mainly in the History and Library forums.)

I'm not as much a good neighbor as perhaps I should be, listening to all the conversations and responding accordingly. But to do everything I'd want to on the web, I'd pretty much have to forego doing anything else :).

sorry for being such a slacker, but somebody has be to last... :ashamed:

[GGC]

So, are you going to ditch the alias here too and go to the real(er) name? :)

I dunno. It took me a while to get the cool Lefty Grove avatar :). I wish that I could have a custom avatar like some of you guys that have been here for a while. Besides, I don't think that you can use a space in your user name here. It took me a while to realize that pathogan stood for Pat Hogan and wasn't pronounced path-o-gan :).


BTW, for the rest of you folks here I am Jon Daly. I ditched the Gary Geiger Counter alias at another forum recently.

[sweaver]

You're not last....someone has certainly started zero! ;)

Custom jobs kick in at 2000 posts.

Same here!

Well. I guess I have to start hanging out here more often, then! Sorry guys, you'll have to get the full Jon Daly experience from now on.

Is an updated version of this list available? I had no idea I had started so many threads, but I guess it makes sense since I post almost primarily to trivia...

[Wolf Hopper]

Is an updated version of this list available? ... Only if GYB gets bored again.............

[gyb13]

not gonna happen anytime soon....but it's easy to do on your own, tre

[TreAnt985]

OK, how would I do it?

[gyb13]

go to members list, click on any member, then click on 'find all threads started by ____' under 'forum info'

SPITBALL-12you did something wrong. sweaver has 500+. craig s has 459. i have 458. jamesi does only have 21.

hmmm...maybe it's because you don't have access to threads in the mod forum

[TreAnt985]

I'd always though the moderators' forum was just a legend! :D
That must be the problem--for example, here's what I got for Craig S.'s thread starts:

Showing results 1 to 25 of 434
Search took 2.41 seconds.

I don't think he started 25 threads between when I wrote this down and when you did... ;)

[hmrsf]

Mod forum can not account for nearly 1/2 of my posts. Something is wrong. Do the SOC threads count? That would make more sense.

[tyruschen]

I search the thread I started and I found there are 50, (WOW, so many stupid questions I have) but I'm not on the list.:)

Sorry, I did a 1500 post cutoff for these, so I wouldn't spend forever making and sorting the list. Anyone who has less than 1500 career posts won't be on my list...

[gyb13]

tre, you need to have another drink. then your cutoffs will get progressively smaller ;)

Never mind. :) I'll be one of the "1500 posts club" someday! :jsmile:

[gyb13]

don't worry...it happens really quickly...especially if you're me

Gratuitous poster! :D

That's the spirit! And for the record, I like the threads you start - very thought-provoking.

[gyb13]

Gratuitous poster! :Dcome again? :D
