It seems to happen here as well. When a thread is started, the direction it takes seems too deep and a lot on the first two or three posts from other members. If you get a "that is a great idea" kind of post, more keep coming. If you get a "that is stupid, welcome to the Web 2001" or whatever, more of those keep coming.

Obviously, most of the posters (commenters, whatever) actually feel what they write, but it seems that many just jump on that bandwagon.

I've been surprised by the direction of some of the threads here. Some have started out with very interesting (to me at least) questions, ideas, whatever, and then just go to crap. While others I thought were basically a waste of time to read, keep going and going.

Of course my personal opinion of what is and is not a good value is just MY personal opinion, but I imagine many members here can't identify with what I'm getting at.

This is pure crap.

Nah it's true, especially since people hate to stick out in a group as the odd one.

It's funny how exactly this forum has exactly this sort of an effect on me. I went through a lot of stages of "making money online", but this is like the best one yet (nothing new here), I mean there are people earning thousands of bucks a day in here!!! It's better than DP, but it's still all just a lucky guess, I mean how come people are still selling stuff in here? Yes, I know, but still. At least you filled my head with some downright crazy ideas, blackhatworld and for that I give you thanks. I just wish I had some time to go out and smell the flowers and get me some coffee.
