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.

Our (formerly) funniest member...he's the one who started this thread. But he's going to lose his pink ribbon if he doesn't start showing his face in here again. There's a lot of competition for the coming year's award.

The awards are given at the end of the year, and you get to wear your ribbon until the new awards are given out at the end of the next year. It's like being Miss Universe or something like that, where you reign for a year after you get your award. Though, we did say we were going to throw the winner of the funniest member ribbon into the volcano to appease the gods for another year. I wonder if someone took us seriously? :rolleyes:
 
  • #7,415

  • #7,416
Just around that time I think.
 
  • #7,417

Considering you only joined about a month and a half ago, I think you might have rather high expectations. :biggrin:

So far, I think there are a few good candidates for this year, but I have my eye on Artman as a good nominee. With only 5 months until the end of the year, I need to start assembling the Sex Party ticket. We had a nearly clean sweep of categories last year. The inaugural ball was pretty popular too. :biggrin:

Yeah, that's when they do all the guru awards. Community Spirit and Funniest Member were last year's "lighter" categories. It's up to the mentors to choose categories and nominate members though. We all vote after they assemble the initial ballot.

Oh, well all the rest are for the different academic subjects found on different boards in the forum, such as astrophysics, biology, physics, math.

For a second there I was like, "what the heck is Mk talking about?" So I read up and figured it out. But next time, do us a favor and quote the person you're responding to. I cannot be expected to remember every post and then figure out who is responding to who.

Oh, I'm sorry. I thought I reloaded the page and that was the last post, I responded rather quickly so I didn't think anyone else had posted before me. o:)

I believe you have to graduate high school before you start calling yourself an engineer. :wink: When you get a few years of college under your belt, you can start hoping.

And if he was a rabbit he could start hopping. (He's got more chance of becomming a rabbit.) :smile:



Moonbear, aren't you supposed to be gone for awhile? How can you expect me to corrupt Franzbear with you hanging around? Now git! So I can get him to loiter in dangerous parts of town, play with explosives, try death defying stunts and other stuff kids do when staying with their uncles. :-p :devil: :-p
