In scrolling through listings of discussion-threads in most 'AutimsForums' forums, more often than not, threads receiving 20 to 25 responses seem to be "a goldilocks zone of sorts" - both for the quantity of resposes, as well as the dynamics, context, etc etc. of threads receiving.....20 to 25 responses.
Disc. threads receiving much more than 20 to 25 responses are usually too lengthy/cumbersome to follow. Disc. threads receiving too few, or no responses are often disc. threads on topics receiving too little interest.
Again, no "rules of thumb" here. Personally, disc. threads receiving 15 to 20 resposes can sometimes be of interest.
In the 'Fourm Games,' forum, the discussion-thread, 'A Most Random Truth' had 600 responses (my response being the 600th) piqued my interest. The threads in 'Forum Games' receiving 15 to 25 responses did not pique my interest. Go figure!
With many other 'Internet Forums' covering a diversity of topics, being mindful of disc. threads receiving 15 to 25 responses, more often than not, might just yield those valuable, yet potentially overlooked insights.
Any other "goldilocks zone of sorts" regarding disc. thread responses?
