Click For Summary
The discussion revolves around the humorous concept of "thread killers" on a forum, where participants analyze who tends to end conversations with their posts. The top offenders identified include franznietzsche, Moonbear, and tribdog, with a playful tone suggesting a competition for the title of "thread killer." Participants debate the validity of counting last posts as a measure of thread-killing ability, arguing that it should be adjusted based on the total number of posts each user has made. The conversation shifts into a light-hearted narrative, likening thread-killing to a horror movie scenario, with participants playfully accusing each other of sabotaging discussions and attempting to "steal" the thread. The banter includes references to fictional scenarios involving dramatic rescues and humorous characterizations, maintaining a light and comedic atmosphere throughout.

Locking threads should not count.

I don't know about that - when Zero was a mentor (and I wasn't), I purposely got threads I didn't like locked in the Politics forum (though, admittedly, he usually took the opportunity to get the last word...). :smile: Its the same as saying something people won't respond to - just more effective and final.

Muaaaaaa! They don't suspect me! They think it's franznietzsche, but it is really me. Muaaaaaa! :devil:

I lurk in the anonymous recesses of the internet, watching and waiting for my moment to pounce. I log in, post my response, and I sit and quietly watch as the thread whithers and dies away. In a matter of hours it's over. :devil:

Oh, one or two others, franznietzsche for example, may come along and try to breath life back into it, but it is dead alright. And no amount of clever chatter can save it. Muaaaaa! :devil:

And I didn't even make the "also ran" list! :devil:

See. Weak attempts at resuscitation, but it's dead. :devil:

(Actually I looked back and franz does have a lot of kills to his credit. The Doctor Kevorkian of PF. He just sneaks in and puts the threads to sleep.)

Au contrair, i resurrect long dead ones, but without the help of the local medical establishment i can't keep them alive. Alas, i am a failed Dr Frankenstein it would seem.

Does it count as a thread kill when I make a comment, then lock the thread?

That's thread execution. We just have to assume the death penalty is justified.

Nope, it's cheating if you lock the thread, so we can't count that. If we started counting locked threads, tribdog would be pretty busy counting that sea of corpses over in TD.

Yeah, but it would be easier in TD, because there the threads are all stillborn, its the thread posters who kill them.

Nope it will go to me, because i'll post in it at about 3 Am, and then post in enough threads after it to put it 3 pages back. Then you'll never find it, and i will win.

*limps back in* *sighs* Okay, I'll have to concede this one to you. I think I pulled something while tackling Artman. Besides, I think I'll be spending the rest of the night gluing Evo's lamp back together. :frown:

Thats what you get for being so over zealous.

Slow and steady wins the race, don't you know that? For someone with a Phd in sex, i'd think you'd at least know that. :wink:

:cry: I'm disappointed - as a Reublican, I naturally always want to have the last word and I thought I did a good job of killing threads in the Politics forum.

By the way, how much time do you have on your hands, exactly...?

Wow cool, a new party, where can I sign the sign-up sheet? Can I make up a party song for us? "Hail, we are the mighty Reublicans", what should our party animal be? do you like platypuses?

Anyway we have a lot to decide, who should run as the vp and president in 08? Don't worry we still have a long time and for you Dems and Repubs, make way for the Reublicans.

----------------------

Sorry, I am bored, so i am acting childish.. you don't have to respond to this post..

-------------------------

p.s. - also if you didn't recognize, this is my first attempt at killing/stealing a thread... :blushing:

:smile: Where can I sign up? We need a new party! Should we get the PF Party Bus ready?

Nice try. You'll have to be far more clever than that if you plan to steal the title of thread-killer on this one. :-p

Hey Franz, haven't noticed you around the other threads very much...
