I think people are getting bored around here.
I see many of the same threads lingering on the front page for two or three days.

Some of these threads only have ten or so responses, but they hang around on the front page anyway.

Is it because the authors of these threads donate to DU?

Just a random thought.

1. of course not
and the implication is silly.

Check the times of the latest posts in those threads, and they'll be more recent than the threads below them.

6. Dear Dookus:
You forgot to say "POOP"

The mere thought of threads being given preferential treatment due to the amount of money donated is idiotic at best.

Say something interesting, and people will respond.

Oh! And quitcher bitchin'.

7. Maybe not so idiotic, but that is only an opinion, based on observation.

8. Also, I would argue that many interesting threads get little or no
response around here. Again, just my opinion, based on observation.

3. Moves much more slowly due to the GD 2004 primary board
Kind of dilutes the flame-fests.
