Not to be a smartass, but the best answer to your question is a quoted post right below. You see, it was interesting enough that several of us, including the member below, felt like talking about it. It's kind of the foundation of how discussion forums works.

The answer to your question is literally that simple.

I don't like vegemite. Who gives a fuck?

People will have their experience of Cambodia and come away with whatever they will. Again. Why would you give a fuck? Even if the person has got it all ass up.

I see it as a nothing more than the OP lookin' for kudos, and the pack scratching each other's balls.

But as I said, I'm not that bright.

Well, show me an interesting discussion forum that doesn't have traffic, and I'll show you the answer to life, the universe and everything.

If the topic was boring, like you say, you and everyone else would not be discussing it, therefore no traffic.

So again, what you're saying is nonsensical. You're essentially saying something like, "nobody goes there anymore, it's too crowded."

These types of topics have no other purpose than for the OP to garner a little prestige from his minions and the rest of the sycophants to lick each other's balls in agreeance that their choice of being in Cambodia is a cool one.

And, yeah, i can show you many sites that have very little traffic but the value of that content is enormous. Now, about your answer to the universe....

Your opinion on traffic or value of topic is automatically invalid in all cases due to your ownership bias.

Again, I'm not talking about this website, I'm talking about all websites.

You talk about "agreeance." You clearly don't agree, and its people who don't agree with one another who create a discussion (like what's happening with you and I right now, LoL). Could we be having this discussion is this topic hadn't been posted?

Again, you can't show me a website that has huge interest/value, but has next to no traffic. They go hand in hand. Like I said, you're the dude talking about a place and saying, "nobody goes there because it's too crowded." You are here discussing it, but in the same breath saying it's not worthy of discussion. If my theory is flawed, I'd love to be set straight.

You can put this theory to the test, if you'd like. Start a topic. I predict that if it will be of interest for people to discuss it will magically at the same time will get comments/views. If it has very little interest/value, you can safely bet it will also get very little views/comments. It's a fairly simple and straightforward "phenomenon."

This can't be any other way. If you really don't get that, then I will take you at your word that you are not that bright, or simply trolling, LoL.
