I am Threadkiller

[fba827]

Okay, I am officially appending my screenname with the honorific, "Threadkiller."

MURDERER!!

There hasn't been--in recent memory--a thread that has last more than 1-2 posts past when I last posted. The most recent example:

http://enworld.cyberstreet.com/showthread.php?threadid=20785

Actually, I think that simply has to do with the fact that some of us have trouble counting any higher than the numbers you used -- how can we add more if it takes so much effort to figure out the numbering for the next on the list? What do you expect of us? We are only men(and women, or other), not machines!


And, finally, there was so much talk about your sig, I went through the trouble of turning on sigs so I could see what was being discussed so favorably. See, just for you! Now to go back and disable sig viewing...

There was a point in there somewhere.. I can't recall it anymore, though.

It's just the way the ball bounces, 9 times out of 10, it really doesn't have anything to do with you particularly. Either that or the conspiracy theory....

(psst -- rumor is going around that you are in fact the poster from the grassy knoll. In evidence, notice how the threads go back and to the right after you post?)

Oh yeah, and eat your vegetables.

Does anyone else find it strange that fba827 disables sigs normally but still has one?




Oh yes - and I like being ignored!


So there!!

Actually - it is funny you mentioned that.

I set that up back when we first transitioned to these new boards (it's the same one I had even back when EN was running the joint). Anyway, with the new boards, I found the option to disable (I'm on a 22K connection so anything to disable excess graphics is always welcome). When I turned on sigs tonight (to see WM's) I noticed that I had one ;-) I was laughing for a good 5 minutes 'cause I'd forgotten all about it.



Edit: Yes, I am easily amused.

All but two of the threads I've started haven't gotten any answers at all. I guess I don't have anything interesting to say.

What I'm looking for is gratuitous pity, useful comments from successful posters, and less useful comments from the majority of you souless wisenheimers out there.

Not very successful but I can offer the following:

I've noticed that if you write something well thought out no one will reply. I think this is due to people are geared to contradict. If we can't contradict we don't feel the need to participate or add to a thread.

Now, if you have a sensible opinion and fear that it will drop like a rock you need to add sharp edges. Something irritating that might annoy someone to the extent that he replies contradictory (and keeps the sensible thoughts floating for a while longer). You can try variations of the following topics: rangers, chainmail bikini and/or iconics.

If you don't enjoy irritating people on purpose then you can try this trick: Add a little something about beer. Check out the nationality of the posters in your current thread and write something about beer from those countries. This will immidiately create a beer sub-topic in the thread which works as a buoy. Good luck!

That reminds me, I STILL haven't got around to getting the beer for this weekend's game.

I was thinking the same thing just the other day, how I will post and boom no more post to that thread. I was starting to feel bad about it!

I like the conspiracy angle. Take the burden off of me and puts it in the hands of a nameless force bent on usurping threads and deleting meritous comments.

It's called darkness

Student #2: Yes, Master. I have learned two things. First, that anger is a weapon only to one's opponent and secondly, get in the first shot.

Boot to the head!

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

Oh, wait. oops!
