I was a lot more about thread making when I was a newbie. I make the occasional topic from time to time now, but only if it's something I think would make for a good discussion (Old Shames on the FF, for example), and not something like "OMG[wtd]BBQOBAMASUCKSBECUZHESADEMOCRATLOL!"
Oh, and before I forget, welcome to the forums, Rew.
