I am Threadkiller

[Hand of Evil]

Heh. I'm not going to reply to this thread, thus helping it sink like a stone.

Oh, wait. oops!

Hold on I will save you! Damn, I have been pulled in!

have you considered the marketability of being a threadkiller?

i mean, i would easily pay you to have visited several vin diesel threads a bit back, and there are some story hour authors out there who could use a little less competition.....

In order to be a real threadkiller we shall see who gets to post last on this thread. I geuss right now that will be me. Anyone else want to take a shot.

I feel your pain, WM. In practically every thread I post, either it immediately dies, or is swallowed up in the maelstrom like a pebble in a river.

However, recently I found a way to counter this. It's simple. Troll.

Recently, I posted a thread on the bottom 5 D&D products to match the thread on the top 10. I didn't mean it as a troll, and I honestly wanted to know what people hated.

What happened? People immediatly came on saying the thread was in bad taste, and now it's got over 30 replies.

Sadly, it seems the best way to get noticed is to get under people's skin. Well thought out posts are generally ignored, unless they're from Piratecat or ColonialHardisson.

If you want a REAL example of how to be noticed, just watch Hong.

You know this is going to be a contest, sort of a 'cold war', one person will post and then someone else will up them, just to be the thread killer.

What you need to do is check all the old post and see name of last poster and count them! This thread may never close!

Being on a streak, winning or losing, makes you neither a winner nor a loser, just streaky!

Oh, so now you're calling him a streaker?

Correction, 60 replies, though it's dropping down the list pretty fast now.

Hey, I've got an idea to keep this thread going forever....

How about this:

Munchkin rangers drinking beer and watching avalanche press cover models in chainmail bikinis are secretly funded by hitler clones!

I'll agree with other posters - well thought out posts get you nothing. Try writing in all caps in red font interspersed with numbers.

Or not.

I think when you make intelligent, well-thought out replies what happens is that no one can make a cohesive argument against your well made points, so why bother posting? It's a lot easier, it seems, to post dissent than to post agreement.

And yes, I'm aware I hyphenated "well thought-out" three different ways in this post. Which is the right one?
