The final "How old are you?" thread

[MavrickWeirdo]

How long must a thread lie dormant before posting to it qualifies as thread necromancy?

More importantly. . .

In what year were you born?

I'll bump it for Ya

Go '69

I'll bump it for Ya

Go '69

Thanks.

It's been a couple of weeks. Time for another BUMP. I think.

Thanks, glass. Maybe there's a new user out there who hasn't yet seen this thread - or an old, recalcitrant user who refuses to acknowledge it.

Well, 754 people have voted so far, and ENworld has several thousand members, so I'd say there was scope to gather a few more votes!

Have I mentioned that I was born in the Year of the Dragon?

Okay, sadly enough, my thread has died. I can understand. Better that it should die than become another bumpthread, I suppose. Other how-old-are-you threads will come along as they always do. In the mean time, I will desist from the onholy practice of thread necromancy, as I don't have time for it anyhow, and I've committed it too often already on this thread alone.

But it *is* the definitive EN World Age poll/thread.

Put a link in your sig and give her a bump every couple of months if someone else doesn't. You'll likely get a dozen to a couple of dozen new voters each time, if not more.

One of the tricks is to make sure and bump it and make mention of it as an aside/parenthetical in other busy threads (with a link) every now and again. For instance, if you post in the Gygax thread (which gets read a LOT), add a PS to your post pointing people to the poll. No one should really mind if you do it fairly unobtrusively and not in an attention-grabbing way. Anytime you see a thread in the General Forum with a couple thousand views, if you are already postin anyway, add that addendum. The stragglers will add up tremendously over time.

You've done a good thing here, my friend. Chin up!

I am never quite sure whether it's 'hear hear', or 'here here' you say if you agree. But whichever, I do.
