Dead threads - NSFW
 

I was wondering about killing threads, as I'm sure everyone hates to be the last poster.

Is there a quick way to count the number of times someone appears in the 'last posted:' field of the threads in the TFP, just to see who the Dr. Doom of conversations is? Or would one have to do it manually?

Manually is correct... however, if you're looking for a CERTAIN PERSON, it goes quicker.

Just search for all posts by (whoever) and when you're looking down the row of names, look for all the ones that said person is last in... pretty simple.

I'm sure someone more important has a quicker way though.

BTW, this Dr. Doom is quite probably me... I've killed COUNTLESS threads, don't ask me why.

KWSN, you merciless thread-killer. You've probably killed threads while they were just small threadlings, haven't you? For shame!

I think I've done it once or twice, myself.

Watching a thread die is sad, especially when it was one of your own creations. Especially especially when it only gets, like, 5 replies before dying. So young...

*weep*

My "I am Stuck to Bones' Balls" thread was OUTSTANDING... one of the funniest threads that I've ever made. IT'S NOT GETTING ANY RESPONSE, THOUGH!!!!

Someone find it and post on it, I don't want it to die.

Ok I felt like replying just to keep kwsn from killing yet another thread :)

Hmmmmmm kind a glad to see this thread reapearing.....can't wait to see how it turns out...

The problem with just counting who was the last person who posted is what if the last person who posted was trying to sacve the thread? This kinda means that your damned if you are the person who was trying to save a thread that nobody wanted. Just a thought.

Was this the 'don't let me die' thread in v 3.0?

DIE THREAD!!!!!! YOU ARE THE ROOT OF ALL THAT IS EVIL IN THE WORLD!!! YOU SHALL ROT IN THE PIT OF DEAD THREADS FOR ALL ETERNITY, WHILE YOU ARE PELTED WITH THE REMAINS OF THE OTHER DEAD THREADS!!!!!!!!
:D is it dead yet?

Nope , phoenix1002...It's not dead yet...It seems to still be at the top of the list

Most of my threads die a quick death after only a handful of posts. I have probably started about 10 threads between V3.0 and 4.0, and only one, my gray hair thread in General Discussion ever made it to a second page. *sniff* and now even that seems to be slipping away.

Sometimes I think I've finished off a thread just to se it resurrected days later. It's like 'The night of the living dead threads'.

Is'nt it worse when your thread passes its expiration date way to long? Like when you ask a really stupid question and get the obvious answer directly. Only to find that your thread has become the new home of all the threadless poor soles out there using it for anything hardly even related, just for breeze shooting. Now you witness in pain how your stupidity gets bumped up over and over and over and over agian. What a Hitchcock!

My few threads die before they even get off the ground lately. i'll just go back to posting responses in others since I don't get this "popular thread" thingy.

I've never had a thread make to a second page.
One day.......

Couldn't it be the opposite for the last poster in a thread.

Perhaps, other viewers of the thread read, thought, and realize the opinion of the last poster is similar to theirs so they felt it was unnecessary to regurgitate the same opinion.

never say never bones























































THE END:D

I like eggs...I like over-easy eggs

sometimes I like them scrambled...

There, that should do it.

poached is interesting, not sure who thought of it, basically a hard boiled egg out of it's shell...it is an odd thing, and how come you never hear of anyone ordering an over-hard egg?

I had 2 scrammbled eggs for breakfast this morning and hashbrowns, english muffin...yummmm now I'm hungry again

mmmmm.... scrambled threads... er, eggs.... yeah, eggs...

WHY WON'T IT JUST DIE AND LEAVE ME ALONE??? AAAAAAHHHHHH!!!!!!!!! :p

Post removed.

I bet that no matter what this won't be the thread killing comment!

... Very Good... but not good enough.
Unfortunately, this thread will live 'til the end ...:(

DIEEEE!!!!!! ;)

Ok, ok, I'll stop... for now, anyway :D

Could I be the one?

i'm resurrecting the dead threads thread:p.... probably won't last though, i seem to have killed many a thread myself

I just finished off the last of our orange juice.
I also drank it straight from the jug. yummmm!

I seem to kill an inordinate number of threads. Just checking to see if I kill this one.

Crap, I'll try again.

I've killed more than my share of threads.



Mostly talking about fucking my grandmother in the ass with a plunger. Oh, I love Christmas morning.

I think it's Hitler and the Nazi's that keep killing threads so early.

I"m nuking this thread...

I hate it when my threads die, especially when there are very few posters. Its just so sad

what!?!??! this thread isn't dead it was merely sleeping.

I almost know for sure I will kill this thread.....

people people...

don't thinking of it as <i>killing a thread</i>. tsk tsk

no.

think if it as <i>finishing a thread!</i> :)

you can thank me later.
the next time you "finish" a thread. :D

And you had to go wake the thread up so that you can put it back to sleep? :hmm:

You evil evil person. :p

Zombie Thread wants you Brrraiiiiiinnnnnnsssss.

This thread is filled with corpses!

Funny you should ask. I was just thinking along those lines myself.

That's the great thing about TFP - anyone can revive any thread and keep it going....Never say die! ;)

'Dead Threads'

Sounds like a good name for a band.

Zombie Rastifarian Thrash music.

Go in pieces.

Bad Brains. Nooooooo. More good brains to feed lurching, oozing zombie thread!

...I fixed it but now that I see it again, maybe not seeing it was for the better

If I cross my eyes, BadNick, I see two red X X

That must mean its dead.

^^ I fixed it, but yikes, nasty. Cartoons are more laid back

The acceptance of knowing that I am fully dying as I am fully living,
has brought great comfort.

Unless Hollywood decides to make another lame film where the last 20 minutes
is nothing but "is it really dead?"

Dr. West, we have a thread in need of your attention.

(Do not call up what you can't put back down. Never dial your exes while drinking.)

Over-dosed with deadness.

My last few trips to the dentist for the eighth root-canal.

now these would be some dead freakin' threads:

I don't think "dead threads" are as bad as threads that completely turn into a topic that has nothing to do with the thread starter......my 2cts

threads evolve to meet you.

Do not be ascared.

I hope this thread bursts into flames and plummets to the earth killing everyone in it.

It is not threads which may eternal lie
and with strange eons death may die

I am going to cut this thread open, crawl inside it and then slowly sneak up on other unsuspecting threads and kill them.

the horror...

java.lang
Class ThreadDeath
java.lang.Object
java.lang.Throwable
java.lang.Error
java.lang.ThreadDeath
All Implemented Interfaces:
Serializable

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

public class ThreadDeath
extends Error
An instance of ThreadDeath is thrown in the victim thread when the stop method with zero arguments in class Thread is called.

An application should catch instances of this class only if it must clean up after being terminated asynchronously. If ThreadDeath is caught by a method, it is important that it be rethrown so that the thread actually dies.

The top-level error handler does not print out a message if ThreadDeath is never caught.

The class ThreadDeath is specifically a subclass of Error rather than Exception, even though it is a "normal occurrence", because many applications catch all occurrences of Exception and then discard the exception.

Just here to breath some more life into this mostly-dead thread.

this thread should be dead not mostly-dead ...is it rising?

We'll have to beat it back down if it shows any signs of life!

Ring, my dear, you are going to put this thread into a state of ferment.

And we can all sing this song that comes to mind.

Did a large procession wave their torches as my thread fell in the basket, and was everybody dancing on the casket? Now it's over; I'm dead, and I haven't done anything that I want, or I'm still alive and there's nothing I want to do.

This thread has been dyed in the wool gathering.

This thread is now officially undead...

No it's not. It's pinin' for the fjords.

If this thread wasn't nailed to its perch it would be pushing up daisies.

There, you've gone and stunned it.

Play'n Possum perhaps

It is not thread which can eternal lie
