Dead threads - NSFW - Tilted Forum Project Discussion Community

laughter · 04-25-2003, 01:07 PM

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?

KWSN · 04-25-2003, 01:14 PM

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.

Spungfoo · 04-25-2003, 01:50 PM

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

Somenosuke · 04-25-2003, 02:15 PM

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

JumpinJesus · 04-25-2003, 02:32 PM

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*

KWSN · 04-25-2003, 03:20 PM

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.

qpid · 04-25-2003, 03:32 PM

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

Atropos4 · 04-25-2003, 04:42 PM

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

heyal256 · 04-25-2003, 05:28 PM

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.

laughter · 04-25-2003, 06:43 PM

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

phoenix1002 · 04-25-2003, 06:52 PM

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!!!!!!!!

is it dead yet?

Atropos4 · 04-25-2003, 08:24 PM

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

laconic1 · 04-25-2003, 10:07 PM

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.

Nad Adam · 04-26-2003, 12:10 AM

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'.

AxelF · 04-26-2003, 12:31 AM

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!

BubblegumTeflon · 04-26-2003, 12:36 AM

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.

alpha phi · 04-26-2003, 06:26 AM

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

HeyAgain · 04-26-2003, 06:34 AM

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.

SaltPork · 04-26-2003, 07:42 AM

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

sometimes I like them scrambled...

There, that should do it.

SaltPork · 04-26-2003, 07:45 AM

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?

Atropos4 · 04-26-2003, 09:43 AM

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

phoenix1002 · 04-26-2003, 10:41 AM

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

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

DIEEEE!!!!!!

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

Atropos4 · 04-27-2003, 06:17 AM

Could I be the one?

GreenCloud · 05-02-2003, 06:49 PM

i'm resurrecting the dead threads thread

.... probably won't last though, i seem to have killed many a thread myself

Somenosuke · 05-02-2003, 07:22 PM

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.

/random

Atropos4 · 05-04-2003, 05:17 PM

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

rockogre · 05-05-2003, 06:43 AM

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

rockogre · 05-05-2003, 08:56 AM

Crap, I'll try again.

World's King · 05-05-2003, 11:34 AM

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.

Empty_One · 05-05-2003, 12:13 PM

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

Go_AVS · 05-05-2003, 01:03 PM

I"m nuking this thread...

Eviltree · 05-05-2003, 06:43 PM

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

SaltPork · 10-21-2004, 10:44 AM

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

Rdr4evr · 10-21-2004, 12:51 PM

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

bernadette · 10-21-2004, 05:59 PM
