Can you help make this the most commented hub on HubPages?
To me, HubPages is like a fun party where lots of cool people are talking about sophisticated subjects.
And completely ignoring me.
It’s my own fault. I showed up two years ago, wrote three articles, and then disappeared until about two weeks ago. No wonder the most comments I’ve received on my hubs numbers only six.
Well, one way to become the life of the party is to run a game, which is what I’m doing.
The objective of this challenge is simple: to make this little hub the most commented one on HubPages.
You can play by leaving a comment. In exchange, I’ll visit at least one of your hubs to get to know you.
At minimum, please put your city and state, or if you’re from outside the US, your city and country. Like this: Placentia, California.
You can guess is my city and state. I’m located in Southern California.
I’ll update the comment tally at the top of the article, assuming any comments are left.
Let’s see how many comments we can get on one hub!
Update
6/22/2011 - 8 comments, double yesterday's!
6/21/2011 - Lots of visitors but only 4 comments. Please comment when you visit.

Hi Alocsin.great new idea,openning this page.
Is there any reason to limit comments " at minimum ?"
Seek-n-find went over " minimum" and her comment is making " game" more interesting .
How about to challenge comments to practical experiences shared , helping others :
a) to get started if not sure to be qualified ;
b) let a dialog going on. Etc.
Can cutting corners be beneficial ? Do not waste what has left.

One of my other hubs has over 150 comments, Victoria Lynn.
I think somebody said it, but you are most clever. :-) I'm from the suburbs of Chicago. We had Spring in March and April has felt like Fall. People in this area are fast, fast, fast--not taking much time to slow down. I want to go and live where the town shuts down on "good wave" days so everybody can go surfing. Not that I know how to surf...but it would still be nice!
Hi Acosin, I am your neighbor. Like you I wrote 1 article 2 years back and did not come back until 7 months ago. There is no comaprision, you are such a great writer. Solute to you. Keep it up!
Ihave the same problem - I come I go. Topics totally elude me for the most part. Hangin in North Port, FL
Good luck.
Looks like this little hub's had a couple of re-awakenings, interesting experiment.
Nevada City, California
It's really interesting how this site works. I am having a similar experience that you had. I made an account almost four years ago and didn't post much, now for the last week and a half I have started up again in earnest with minimal exposure. Hopefully I will follow in your footsteps and write great hubs and gain a following :-)
North Plainfield, New Jersey
Well alocsin, you have already read my hubs, but I am still going to say hello and add in my two cents by commenting.
Lawrenceville, New Jersey
I'm in central Oklahoma, the prairie, we have prairie dogs and buffalo only not in my backyard. I live in town so all you'll see here are dogs and cats.
92 comments so far....What is the record?
alocsin, look like it worked, ask and you shall receive. well done.
Hi aloscin. Hubpages is a barrel of fun!
Fantastic idea. I wish you the best as you gain your comments.

Just came across this hub and what a great idea. Good luck!

I don't like roller coasters either, Arlene.
I believe this hub is a success. Hello from Singapore, Singapore! :))

This so amuses me. Way to get traffic. Best regards, Midwest Missouri.
this is great...has this hub brought succeed?
Hello there Aloscin! This is fun! I'm in Mississippi :)
Hi Aloscin. You always come up with clever "Hub" stuff. I have totally enjoyed knowing you on HubPages. I love your writing style!
Stopping by to say WTG Hubbers!!
Go Alocsin! Great idea!
Hi :)
I'm in England ~ near Birmingham :)
What a really cool idea! I see that the creative bug bit you for this great hub! I live in Kentucky USA. The beautiful mountains. I was born originally in Northern Pennsylvania. I voted up and shared on twitter! This may help bring new writers here too. Does anyone know who is going to bring cookies? :) take care
Here's my comment to add to the record. Hope you make the required amount of comments needed! :)
Tillson, New York -- are you serving refreshments at this party ;) Good luck in reaching your goal.
I helped again :)
I'm from Uxbridge, Ontario - the official Trail Capital of Canada :)
Hey Alocsin-I'm back...just realized I didn't add the name of my area: East Carolina, N.C. USA
Brilliant idea and lots of fun to read about everyone!
Zakkers currently lives in a (very) tiny little village in Sweden called Bruzaholm, surrounded by lakes and forests, his own little piece of heaven :)
Interesting idea didn't think of doing something like this.

Okay, I'll join in. I'm in Georgia, USA. The weather can't decide what it wants to do, so here I am checking my hubs. I should be writing one, but I think I'm falling prey to procrastination even though I wrote a hub about not doing that. So anyway, I'm doing what's most fun right now - reading hubs. Here's your comment and good luck!
I'm up for leaving a comment. Montreal, Quebec, Canada.
Hello Alocsin, I have to hand it to you-great game to get to pass around, haha. I voted it funny. Although getting the views from Google and the recognition in the HP community, (as stated in your hub), is 'serious' business, humor goes a long way and making it a 'fun' job lightens the load. Way to go (UP)
alocsin, I am afraid of rides. Except the tame ones. Otherwise, I will be throwing up all over the place. Don't count on DRAMAMINE. But you can always send me to the snack bar for the $$$$$. Yes, I do need to replace my Mickey Mouse hat with my name embroidered on the back of it.

Just a little status report for everyone. This hub is up to 59 comments, most of which happened in the past 24 hours. But, my most commented hub is this one, with 154.

Arlene, we have to get up early to go to Disneyland. That's the secret to avoiding all the tourist crowds.
- AUTHOR
I know, WD Curry 111. I have a long way to go just to catch up to my own commented hubs as well -- several are now over a hundred.
- AUTHOR
Thanks Sunshine625. I send them happy fun wishes as well.

Well, Rochelle Frank, I wrote this hub a gazillion years ago, when none of my hubs were getting hits. Now I have several hubs with over 100 comments, so this particular hub needs far more comments to reach that number.
Pssssst! I haven't gone to DISNEYLAND since 1964.
It's a little early, isn't it??? 7:50 a.m. in California. WHAT'S WRONG WITH YOU PEOPLE??? It's SATURDAY! Haven't you heard of SLEEPING IN???
WHERE'S MY COFFEE??? WHERE'S MY SUGAR AND CREAM???
and plate of migas???
I came by to see your comment, WD Curry 111. You always crack me up!
I came by to see how it is stacking up. You still have a long way to go to catch up to "What is it with White Women and Black Guys".
Mickey and Minnie Mouse from Orlando are sending this hub some love! Have a Sassy Saturday!:)

Wow, I'd like to thank everyone for reviving this defunct hub. It has a ways to go though before it surpasses my most commented hub, which has over 100 comments. But I should let everyone know I'm in Orange County, California, not too far from Disneyland and the Nixon Library.
- AUTHOR
LOL, thanks Arlene.
- AUTHOR
Congratulations, dinkan53.
I don't know, alocsin-- "Pharmacist" has at least one with over 1,000 comments-- and I think a couple more that are almost that high.
- AUTHOR
Lol, thanks for introducing yourself, Tammy, and the kudos.
I think it's because it's Friday night and we're at home!

It's bizarre, Victoria Lynn, that people find this interesting all of a sudden. We'll see what happens.
I'm ARLENE, and I'm from SACRAMENTO, CALIFORNIA. I will turn 54 next month. WHEN NO ONE'S LOOKING, I TAKE CANDY FROM STRANGERS. This is my newest goal in life besides getting in at McDonald's on the night shift. I watch "The Young and the Restless" and will admit it. I am retired and live in my bathrobe. I start my day at 9 a.m. or 10 a.m. If I don't have anything planned, I return to bed.
LET'S SHAKE UP THIS PARTY. OR I'M GOING BACK TO BED. IF SUPERMODELS CAN DO THIS, SO CAN I . . .
Great idea! I'm happy to help out...I enjoy your hubs!
I helped! Hahaha!
Whoopee....here's to many more comments!
Go for it! Here's my comment!
Yay I'm glad to be a part of this :)
Greatings from Va! This should fulfill my obligation.
Iam very proud to be a part of Hubpages and happy to be a part of your goal alocsin. Wish you good luck.
This sounds like fun. I'm from Cedar Rapids in the great state of Iowa.
But that could be a really, really cool hub idea.
I haven't tried playing heavy metal music for turtles.
I love heavy metal music.
And, I like turtles.
Oh, and I live in Western, NC.
Ok I'm game:). St. Louis, Missouri! Is dangerous here - but fashion conscious! Lol
I'm in and in Atlanta, GA.
Great and fun idea! Naples, Florida.
Great Hub! From a reader here in Winnipeg, Manitoba!
Count me in! I'm here in Fortaleza, Brazil.
Fun idea ... Pasadena, California.
The party is just north of Atlanta, Georgia in the sunny South. :)
Yes, lets get this going again! buckinghamshire England!
Alright...let's get this party started...Sunny California!
Ok! So, I am living in Alameda, CA! Let's send this one around!
Funny that this hub has resurfaced--from 10 months ago! It was a neat idea. Let's try it again. I'm from Arkansas, USA. Let's get this party started!
Better late than never to a party I always say!
What a creative idea!

I appreciate it Donna but this is such an old hub. I've since had hubs that have far surpassed these number of comments. Appreciate your stopping by.
Greetings, alcosin! My hubby likes to tell people that I'm just a party looking for a place to happen, so thanks for offering me a party venue to attend! Commenting on this for you to help you reach your goal from rural Virginia in the shadow of the awesomely gorgeous Blue Ridge Mountains:)

Good to meet you Chip. I'm Aurelio.

Since this one, I've actually created hubs that have gotten far greater comments. Thanks for stopping by though.
Good Luck with your game. I am from Kolkata, India.
alocsin - u da man! Let's get this party started! I see you hit the ground running when you decided to come back.
My friends call me Chip. I live on the Space Coast . . . Brevard County, Florida, Confederate . . . I mean United States of America. Watch your step . . . don't feed the alligators.
I'll bite! I wish you luck in acheiving your goal!
From Appleton, Wisconsin
Not many comments on this hub. That is surprising since it is an easy read. So let's see if we can get it in front of more hubbers.
From Southern Oregon
OK, I'm from West Los Angeles. I don't really understand why you correlate the few comments with your disappearance. I have hubs that have zero comments.
Hopefully many people would find this page and comment to keep the conversation alive, for the record.
