The Thread Killer -- I've got a knack for killing my own threads. Most recently I waited until the fifth page to comment on the replies, and of course to give it a bump. So sure enough, it withered on the vine.
That's why I never post in my most successful thread. That one has gone on since April of '08 and is now in it's 57th page, still active as of last week.
I've been known to drown a few myself. I think it's because I just say what I have to say and leave it at that. A lot of times I post and head for the pool room. I don't sit around waiting for responces. I know everybody here loves everybody else, so I don't take it personal, when I don't get a responce to my posts.
I am thinking of changing my nick to Thread Killer.
It seems like every time I post in a thread, I am the last one before it goes quietly into oblivion.
I want all you thread killers to join the master - me.
Perhaps our combined talents as a hit team can be put to good use assassinating the threads that deserve to be killed
I see it as a non-profit public service because the b******* who hang out here won't pay for the tidying up of their favourite site.
This thread is funny because that's kind of the reason I stopped posting here. For awhile I tried to post more and get involved, but it just seemed like everyone ignored what I said no matter how much I posted. Also, there are just a lot of threads about stuff I'm not interested in these days (aiming systems, Jimbob beating Sausage out of $123.00 playing one pocket in Waukegan, IL etc etc etc)
I'll admit that there have been threads that I posted in becaue I hoped my thread-killing curse might work on that particular thread at that particular time...
Sadly, those types of threads usually can't be killed. Without Mr.Wilson-level thread-killing powers.
Just mention something that will draw criticism and it'll dry up and be replaced by a duplicate thread in a week or two.. CTE, APA, BHE, IPT, 9B, etc. Just my two cents towards killing the thread. :wink:
