How long do you reckon it takes for theads to lose the interest of most because it's a couple of posters repeating their side of the argument and new posters simply slip in answer the OP then leave with out any discussion?

A couple of pages? I think people are still discussing the OP at that point.

Five plus pages?

    Depends on the subject probably? Sometimes you get a 10+ page thread that is still entertaining or interesting.

    On the other hand, DS religious threads always go the same way and after one page have people using the same arguments in circles.

    The religious ones go on for an eternity - which is only fitting.

    I thought you meant until someone posts a thread that had already been done in the past.
    Um, it depends on the thread but around about a few pages, say 3 or 4 maybe? something like that, on average, I suppose.

    Benefits threads are usually nothing but a circle of rhetoric about big screen TVs, iPhones and foreign holidays.

    Religious one only take two posts:

    Post 1: God says that Blar Blar Blar

    Post 2: Prove it

    Poster 1 doesn't and you go straight to post 1 again. Repeat for 45 pages.

    You forgot the bit about companies dodging their tax justifying people claiming £n0,000 a year in benefits

    Regarding threads, they go around in circles in what amount of time?

    You dislike religious threads but you seem to be obsessed and always wanting to talk about them. Makes no sense. :confused:

    There's another one. Threads about tax avoidance go round in the same circles about 'the rich' not being fair.

    Usually by page three, you'll notice it's just two posters repeating themselves and multi quoting each other and that's when you know to abandon the thread and leave them to it.

    It's religion that I despise so let's talk about it and route it out instead of allowing it to hide.

    They don't. The forum isn't on a circular layout.

    Any time two or more people are involved with an argument, non of whom are the OP, thats about when the thread will start to die.
