Tinkerer Posted March 7, 2016 Report Share Posted March 7, 2016 Hello, fine peoples. I'd been looking through Misc and am surprised that there haven't been any big fads lately considering they used to occur every couple weeks. Ultimately, I'm curious on why they'd faded and you peoples' thoughts on fads (and the lack thereof) on YCM and in general. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~British Soul~ Posted March 7, 2016 Report Share Posted March 7, 2016 If it's not a "Post and I'll..." thread, chances are that particular fad will fade after a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thar Posted March 7, 2016 Report Share Posted March 7, 2016 Most threads in Misc are part of some of the biggest fads on the site. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
epicmemesbro Posted March 7, 2016 Report Share Posted March 7, 2016 I made some err "experiments" to see the extent of fads in misc. They appear to be done spontaneously, mostly based on drama done at people's expense. Some can have their origins in other areas, such as General. Fads in statuses I am a bit more knowledgeable on however. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tinkerer Posted March 7, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 7, 2016 If it's not a "Post and I'll..." thread, chances are that particular fad will fade after a while. I mean, by definition, a fad is supposed to fade. That's precisely what I'm talking/wondering about. The closest thing to a fad recently has been some of those hunger games threads, but those were still very few and had much less impact as opposed to what they were a few months back. In any case, I don't really consider "post and I'll" threads a fad per se, because it is more of a continual thing and they have a relatively constant amount of popularity (sometimes more/less depending on the topic).

As Deadpool said, some of the fads are born from the drama, whilst others don't have much longevity anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
