Today, I had a question. I wonders, what was the largest thread in the time that NS generah has been on this server. When I organized the threads based on post count, and set the timeframe back to the beginning, I saw a definate, and suprising, pattern.

Not Counting the Paradise Club and other chat threads, Here are the top 10 largest threads, on basis of replies.

1. Why is homosexuality a sin? (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=367071)

2. Gay Marriages...the poll (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=363994)

3. Come get me, pseudo-christians... (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=395452)

4. Atheists Dying (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=349436)

5. Gun Control (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=353919)

6. Why Gays are a Negative Influence..... (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=383783)

7. How to get a geek (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=420269)

8. Comment on Pic Thread Here :-) (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=412246)

9. No gay marriage! (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=396076)

10. Evolution is Wrong (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=382885)


As you can see, we really like debating religion.

Thoughts?

Gays are one of the few minorities that it is OK to oppress and malign, hence the size of the threads. Hatred fuels these threads.

Kind of lends creedence to someone's comment that it's nice to see thread that DOESN'T bash gays around here every once in a while.

Interesting.

The marketability of excrement.

You do realise that you have excluded any thread that has been moved to the Archive for example, but not excluded threads that have been locked by moderators.

Are bigger threads the ones we want to debate more, or the ones more people want to "put an end to" by posting the mythical uber-argument that will shut everyone up?

Yeah well, all that agreement is now cancelled out. I caught you in Moderation :(

Nothing personal. Refrain from taking it as such. You should be a bigger girl than that.

I disagree. The amount of pure hatred I've seen directed against christians and catholics by some gays and certain atheists have pretty much put me off coming to these boards.

If anything, here the religious are a minority that can be oppressed.

'Atheists Dying' was a classic thread.

I'm christian and I've noticed no such 'oppression' here.

Now that I think of it, Oppression is a strong word. But a crapload of hatred

A statement which serves as testament to your short stay here.

Haha. That is just delusional.

No more so than any other religion here on this forum. No more so than conservatives. Or liberals. Or homosexuals. Wanton hatred is what we do here. :)

Yes, the largest Archive threads are RPs from NS proper. And, why would I exclude threads locked by mods? They were locked because they got too bog. The largest threads ARE locked.

I'm not surprised that the homosexual threads were the most popular. Tat topic seems to get conservative people really riled up. So then the liberals get really riled up in reaction.

Interesting.
