Your First Thought is a daily topic series created and hosted by ZenOfThunder. Originally called "First Thing That Comes to Mind" and only centering around contest-related topics, the title was shortened to allow for longer subjects and was opened up to be about all video game-related matters. The objective of the series is to find common lines of thinking that Board 8 has on a variety of topics, although it's questionable how honest users are when they post their "first thoughts."
The topic series is noted as being only semi-serious with ZenOfThunder sometimes making the daily topic about subjects like kissing characters on the lips. Zen has also admitted to only half-heartedly tallying the results each day, with user MetalmindStats sometimes coming in the next day to correct his tallying.
Zen does not close previous topics and lets them stay open until they purge in case someone wants to pop in after a topic is concluded to voice their opinion; he claims he does so to "increase his brand recognition," and wouldn't mind if you would bump some of his topics right now. Open "Your First Thought" threads can be found here.
