LOL. Perhaps.
I recall an art forum I used to hang around in way back when, and getting into a discussion with a couple other members as to what made people look at some images and not at others. My theory was that as long as they were promised some naked breast(s) then they'd look. The others disagreed to an extent but did agree that the image thumbnail was very much the leader. So, I challenged them. I would produce the crappiest piece of art possible and make the thumbnail look like a huge pair of hooters, they could do whatever they wanted. Suffice to say, the thumbnail of two large potatoes (cunningly cropped) managed to drag in five times more viewers than my opponents. The point was proven. *smirk* Mind, there was some intemperate commentary on the truly horrible rotten spud image.
Anyway, I digress somewhat. Thumbnails aren't thread titles, although I do wonder whether the same theory could be applied.... Not that I'd try that of course.
