Physics news on Phys.org
Yup every one, it is the most boring thread on the net, it is so boring even i
do not look at it.
 
See 100% say yes.
 
Evo, You Can't Vote!

Whoops, Caps Lock :rolleyes:
 
Only people that have not posted in the thread should vote.

so delete my no vote.
 
Arildno got the 9,000th post before you did yomamma.

I resurrected Franzbear with the promise to clean out all of the garbage. The thread either gets cleaned up, or it dies for good.
 
The jobn of cleaning that up is a task that i don't think even you could do evo.

At the rate new garbage is being posted, it will never be attainable. :frown:

I'm just trying to un-bury the gems.
 
Tough decision. Evo could make the thread great, or ruin it.

This has been here like 15 minutes and nearly 600 people have voted? Did I read that right? See what you've started now Yomamma!

Keep on deleting, Evo. We'll keep Franzbear on life support until he's crawling and kicking for his last breath, clutching his morphine dispenser. I think most of PF is worried about what the regular posters in TKC will do if they get evicted into the rest of the forum. It could be anarchy! Yeah, we need our little outlet, our little chat site, our little Franzbear, to keep us entertained.

GD ROCKS!

I don't read the thread killer thread, but this thread gave me cause to dip in and take a look. The first post I saw was:

yomamma said:

That vote total is especially impressive considering how many views this thread has gotten.

:smile: I just noticed that too! :smile: Something fishy is going on around here, and I don't think it's the free gifts for newbies.

Well that makes sense, it's based in the US now isn't it? :biggrin:

Oooh, I like a man that likes abuse.

Uhm, that doesn't sound quite right. :rolleyes:
 
  • #28
hey babe, they've managed to gain more than 1% of the vote. I think we need to start counting that other pile of :wink: "absentee" votes over there.

Actually the UN was monitoring the vote. So the results were expected...

:confused: What are you talking about!? PF is a rogue nation, we shoot anyone affiliated with the UN on sight.

He's delerious again... Pengwuino, tell me the truth, are you in love with another male pengwuin? Have you been humping rocks again?

Thats none of your business

I've never posted in that thread, but I voted 'Yes' just so the damn thing can get to 10,000 and die already.

That is one thing that I always wanted it to do, but once we got close Evo got the idea of deleting posts. I think it is some sort of problem with the forum: Greg told Evo to keep the number of posts less than 10,000 or the forum would crash, and so Evo has been slowly deleting all of yomamma's posts in it to make sure that it does not pass the mark :smile:
