What should be pointed out is that there isn't necessarily a "lack of quality responses" on our part but rather a lack of quality imagination on the part of the OP regarding a good Forum topic thread...

Sorta was.

What I like about #11 is the hint, but also the symbolism of op thinking the whole u̶n̶i̶v̶e̶r̶s̶e̶ (I mean) tread revolving around his own ego.
"How dare these off-topic peasants not provide quality conversation!"
You could be right. But it does also represent the answer to the riddle.
The thread should be closed not fir "lack of quality responses" but lack of quality of imagination on the part of the OP!!
