User blog:Angren Túrë/Thread Psychology

Partly me thinking out loud, and partly me killing time in my irritating world empires class, I'm just wondering: what defines our particular threads here on the RWBY forums?

I've been thinking of things like:


 * When a certain thread goes noticeably off-topic, said thread usually stays around for a while (think the JauneXRuby and RenXNora threads). So is that what makes a thread survive?


 * And if not, what does?


 * Why do some topics spill over into multiple threads?


 * And how is there such a cohesive Forum community? It doesn't really make much sense when you think about it objectively.

Not that I'm complaining, mind you. I argue these forums are a Vytal part of the RWBY community; Hell, we're even taking it to RTX next summer.
