when we have topics that are like "your favourite autechre tracks" or "who's better, x or y," people tend to just say which they like or the occasional "I agree with [name]" - whereas when we have topics like "playing Aphex on the kazoo" people have a lot more interesting and diverse comments.
just making an observation.

Maybe the reason is when people ask a question with a simple answer, like X or Y, or which is your favorite of A, B, C, and D, people have less options then when people make a topic entitled
GOD - Discuss
what say you?

yeah, I agree. it's like the difference between a multiple choice and a fill in the blank question.
the point I was trying to make is that [in general] the interaction between people is much greater on arbitrary topics than in "name your fave" or "x or y" topics.

yeah...agreed....
Lists are what your girlf gives you so you don't forget her tampax...not the most exciting of thread styles....
but really I love it when we digress.....shit, ths mb is pretty dam good as they go; sure, we have some shit but we have a lot of decent stuff as well....and I've yet to see a newbie treated with anything other than respect (and that is rare on th net!!!)....
I'm a good move tonite...d'ya guess?....

yes...its a proven fact that open discussions are far more interesting than simple surveys...
i feel a slight peng of annoyance whenever i see a new 'whats your favorite ___ ?' or 'better:x or y?' thread
(no offence or anything..to those who start them...repeatedly...you know who you are!)

yeah no kiddin' jand. I love the unstructured form. and this is a great message board!! I was treated badly by a troll as a newbie, but there was so much support from other board members that I realised how great the board actually is and I stuck with it :)
pachi: yeah, there's threads where it's like "what's the best aphex song EVER" or "top 10 pooping songs" and then everyone will just rattle off their list/song, etc. and there won't be much interaction, but when you say like "topic : my comment on this topic" people tend to interact more. that's the kind of thread that makes this board interesting.

hahaha, you should try that!
but people react psychologically different to those types of "what's your faves" because it's such a weird question, whereas they have easy answers to "what's your fave Autechre song"
