Top 10 Reasons to Start a Thread

Recommended Posts

Based on extensive analysis of threads, Nielsen ratings for DropZone.com show these top 10 reasons skydivers start new threads.

10. You're bored at work and have nothing else to do except annoy others with senseless polls about a favorite this or that.

9. You have a technical computer question that can only be answered by skydivers and not any of the online resources.

8. You do not approve of how another skydiver is behaving.

7. You read a news article and want to pass judgement upon the people in the story, the media and anyone with an opposing view.

6. You have some personal medical or family problem and you are so desperate that you are willing to take the advice of strangers because they skydive.

5. You need to post a picture or video of naked chicks.

4. You need vibes for yourself or a loved one.

3. You need to ed-ju-cate the rest of the skydiving world about something you just learned about that has nothing to do with skydiving.

2. You need to make a loooooong post about:
a. your first jump
b. your failed release skydive
c. your flip on exit and how scared you got
d. how it was in the olden days and how the new skydivers are ruining the sport
e. the merits of having an RSL, AAD, audible or hook knife
f. the disadvantages of having an RSL, AAD, audible or hook knife

And the NUMBER ONE reason you should start a thread is:
[drum roll please…….]

1. You have a NEW skydiving related question, comment or story.

Oh my - these results are false. The number one reason is really the desired number one reason. It came in at #2978.

The real number one reason was to post whore.

I usually start them because my pussy hurts.

But that must just be me. ;)

Hey whatever happened to artistcalledian?



I've been wondering the same thing. I assume he earned a well-deserved long-term ban. My all-time favorite stunt that he pulled was changing his avatar to a pic of Hitler and posting the thread, I forgive Hitler.

Somethin's just not right about that boy, but once in a blue he does come up with something funny and clever.

You forgot the "my friends and instructors say no but I'm going to ask people who've never met me anyway... should I downsize to a tiny canopy now that I have a handful of jumps on my boring old canopy and I am a real safe / conservative / good canopy pilot / never gonna get hurt" :P


Don't sweat the petty things... and don't pet the sweaty things!

So, a wanna-be post whore is making fun of post whores. Isn't that special.



i would say more ironic than special. i would love to jump on her bandwagon, but she(assuming tinaskydives is a she, although it is possible the username belongs to a vulnerable member of the aryan brotherhood and is housed in some sort of state facility) doesn't talk about skydiving all that much, hence the irony.

blue stuff,
p.j.


pulling is cool. keep it in the skin

Yeah, but if you say it in the Church Lady voice, it sounds better. ;)

That was hilarious:D I missed that one. Must have been during my hiatus. One of many.

#10 was definitely MY reason:
