It is very hard to create an OP that gets no replies, imho
No matter what is posted, I've noticed that each OP usually receives at least one reply.

6. Maybe those of us who seldom get answers should form our own support group.

17. sad
I scan the back pages and try to kick all the zero reply threads to give them a second glance on page one. Those are good threads that deserve a second look. Too bad they passed through so fast.

19. It's not sad.
Often in the real world, I start conversations that go nowhere.

I keep trying, because when one takes off, it is a true joy.

8. depends on the time of day too
I've had several threads that sink immediately, but end up getting many replies at a later time. Depends who's on at the time and if they're your target audience.

9. No kidding.
I've posted something in the morning, and not have it get a reply until 3am that night, when it's sunk to page 3.

:crazy:

I've gone to bed or just left the computer thinking a thread was a lost cause only to come back hours later or the next day to see it with 30-50 replies!

12. Have you ever
Gone down the front page and replied to all the posts that have 0 replies?

I is done it before.

Just for the hell of it.

Besides, It's a shame to see a thread get no replies and it can sometimes be attributed to the fact that the poster isn't as... ummmmmm... well known as some. I've seen threads started with titles that practically beg to be overlooked and little or no content in the OP, but the poster was a well known lounge denizen, so the thread is swarmed with responses.
