What makes a thread get a lot of hits? Content? Talking about popular topics? It seems like there's some really well fleshed out content that gets ignored because people are getting caught up in how fast Mo Farah can run 2 miles without any competition. Seriously, what have been some really popular threads about some really well fleshed out, important running concepts besides Renato Canova?
Controversial thread title. Divisive threads that question peoples beliefs and Morales. Liberals v Conservatives on any topic.
I started a thread a couple of months ago stating that Bernard Lagat should be accepted as an American because Frank Shorter was born in Germany and is an American running hero. It got 120+ posts in 24 hours with nearly 40 deleted. It was completely removed after that.
As the poster above mentioned. Questioning others beliefs leads to the inevitable.
