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.

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*

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?

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!

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 wish I could have some eggs, toast, hashbrowns, maybe some sausage, and a little orange juice. Yeah. I need me a manslave who'll cook that for me every morning.
