posts or threads? its weird for you to expect a lot of people to read your posts or anyones posts on a thread since posting on threads is usually about sharing your own thoughts and not arguing with others posts

-You can't be popular if u are not controversial.
-You need to comment everywhere.

Nah, just avoid being obnoxious while being controversial. People like that. I got hate and love from my controversial scores.

If your referring to threads then probably because their not interesting or general or controversial enough, as for posts people rarely reply to posts anyway so you shouldn't expect much. I get one every like 20 posts, if you have friends/a reputation (like kosmonaut and his two simps (no offence), or one of those friend groups in FG, or a rep like deg), then that’ll increase replies a bit (but even then not by much). In the end, if you want to be popular just participate in the community a lot and make interesting threads/posts that encourage discussion, quote/discuss other posts, etc. Or just say something racist, that’ll definitely make you well known (and banned)

This is the downside of not having a like button. A lot of posts are acknowledged but there is no reason to say anything to it. You can't really reply to every single post. But on the plus side not having a like button removes the hivemind.

If you really want replies make threads.

You talk as though having a legion of gay guys and weirdos drooling over you is something to be proud of. That’s not a king, that’s more the male equivalent of an e-girl (or whatever they call them), but one who can’t attract girls so settles for guys. I’ll apologise for underestimating how much of a e-boy you are though, it was my bad. You have my sincere apologies

I know you're trying to get my attention by talking dirty to me, simp #37, but it's not going to work. I'm an egalitarian King and I treat all my simps to the same crumbles of parasocial affection. You're not going to get preferential treatment by spoiling me with insults.

Haha mate, if this is your attempt at flirting with me than your not doing a very good job, on top of being straight, I’m the one who does the stepping. And believe it or not but getting berated or slapped doesn’t mean their simping for you attention, so I think your going to have to recount your number of simps, but haha, don’t worry, it won’t take you very long.

There are many reasons that could explain this.

-Wrong forum board
Some forum boards such as forum games are unlikely to yield any meaningful discussions. Meanwhile, casual discussions or current events will end up having more discussions.

-Short replies
If there isn't enough material to discuss, people are less likely to have an interest in your discussion. An endless reply can also have a negative impact.

-Personal replies
In general, most people are uninterested in other people unless they are already acquainted with them or have some relevant mind-blowing experience to share.

-Unoriginal replies
I add this, because simply stating something everyone already knows or have discussed a hundred times on forums is unlikely to get their attention unless it's a hot topic or a controversial subject.

-Insert any additional reason that would not be good to pursue a conversation in real life
A conversation happens when there is sufficient interest from both parties.

Of course, you can't expect to have a reply on everything you post. The reason why you get more replies on a thread you've created yourself like this one is that you're the one making the subject and people are discussing. Because forums are group discussions, a single post may not catch replies, but may change the flow of the conversation.

Oh, don't be such a tease, #37! No need to be coy. I wasn't flirting with you, I thought you were the one flirting with me... Maybe there was a misunderstanding on my part due to how you've set some time aside just to publicly give your best shot at amusing me? I appreciate the effort.

I'm sorry, #37 - the Straight, I'll be more mindful of your unpromptedly disclosed heterosexuality in the future.

PS: I'll be taking you up on that 'stepping' offer though, but only if you wear some cute high heels and don't bruise my pretty face.

@Luchse did not mentioned about you having that amount of simps visiting your site kosmonaut. Surely you must feel proud of yourself with what you do for a living.

I dunno man, my forum threads aren't super popular either. I usually have to bump many of my threads several times before it gets a surge of unironic and/or interesting replies. Still kinda odd for your case though, considering your threads are a lot more general (less niche) than mine tend to be.

Haha, you might speak even more rubbish than me, I’m speechless. However if we keep it up this conversation will go on for forever. So this is goodbye, self proclaimed simp king, perhaps one day I’ll bequeath you with the stepping you oh so lust for. For now, go tend to your two simps that have come wagging their tails

I don't know man.

Depends on the topic and question you asked.

If it's broad/general, you won't get as much replies.

if it's open ended, then you're good to go.

Pick an interesting open-ended topic that might get someone interested to reply to you.
