let's chat about how to pump a thread, or person. it is sort of a gambit thing, nearly the same behavior during a job interview, dating a woman, starting a new hobby. you aren't being fake, but you aren't being you either. you aren't lying, but there isn't a need for the truth. a lot of empty, equivocal, and platitudinal things can be said to fill the time, a sort of small talk.
think of a nonchalant approach to telling everyone about ayylmaos. sort of pop into a thread, drop a quick piece of brain candy for all these people fiending for their next fix of paranormal amusement and the old mysterium tremendum. it can be, and properly should be, the truth. I write on /x/ about a lot of the campfire stories I heard during my stint as a spook in the world of glowies. most of it is true, some of it is economical with the truth, some is embellished, some is absolute bullshit just to fuck with people for giggles.
either way, you get a a bite on your bait or you don't. you catch a good wave or you don't. sometimes there aren't any fucking fish or waves and /x/ is just in a doldrums phase, a version of that joke where every 7 minutes at a party, everyone synchronizes into a unified, spontaneous silence. it is as if everyone runs out of word juice at once and needs to refill. then, it picks back up again.
try hooking onto threads which already have that conversational momentum, then watch for it to hit doldrums, but pay attention to what got it out of those doldrums. you'll notice patterns.
