"Double takes" at 'AutismForum' discussion-threads receiving 20 to 25 responses?

[MROSS]

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?

Thank-you for the five upvotes (as of this writing).

Any feedback for this discussion-thread?

If you want to receive responses, this is my perspective - I don't know what you're asking or what kind of feedback on the post you're looking for. It's not clear to me from the post.

I don't understand what the term "goldilocks zone of sorts" means in the context of threads, I mean, I understood that it has something to do with some discussion topics being interesting / relatable to more people than others, but I don't understand what you mean. I don't understand the question as a whole either, what the thing you're asking about really is.

I hope it sheds some light as to why there are no responses to the post - forum users might not understand what you're asking or what kind of feedback you're looking for. It's often helpful to specify it at the end of a post in clear, simple and direct terms. Or to ask direct question at the end of a post.

I was surprised to receive five upvotes (as of this writing) to this discussion-thread - teh discusison-thread may have been felt as insightful, yet the nature of the disc. thread might have been difficult to put to worded responses.

In a nutshell, the discusison-thread describes one of many examples of pattern-recognition abilities (in this case insights for statistics e.g., number of responses in discussion-threads) common with the Autism Spectrum.

Can the topic of pattern recognition abilities yield relevant responses for this disc. thread?
