What happens to a thread after it dies?

does it die and just rot returning resources back to where it came from?

or

does it die and go to a thread heaven where every need of the thread is completed, but only if it was a good thread, the bad threads go to thread hell where they are spamed, trolled etc... for eternity?

or

does the thread get reincarnated to a new life and appears as a new thread with the possible memory of the previous life?

or

are the threads waiting for their thread messiah to come and save them from eternal deletion?

what ever happens to threads after they die out, this one will know soon enough.

Go to bed.

Go to bed.
lol, i have tried, but the eyes just wont stay closed

Dead threads get returned to the Guff from whence they came.

the bad threads go to thread hell where they are spamed, trolled etc... for eternity?



They come here?

This one. Most definitely. What a lovely idea.

Lol!

The threads never die. All threads are one cosmic, interlinked thread Maaaaaaaaaaan.

Given how many times threads on abortion/God/homosexuality/gun control/Atomic bombings/evolution/etc. have appeared, at least on NS General, threads are reincarnated often, sometimes before they have really even died. :p

A thread is a just another collection of bits on hard drive ...

Aaand you get the point... That's all a thread is. For all the meaningless conjecture, insults, verbosity and thought that go into such things, it's all just a bunch of 0's and 1's.

And I'm the 1 and you're the 0 :D

You're more easily comprehended then.

When a thread dies, it is no longer popular and as such noone actually gives a shit where it goes.

The electrons are recycled - that's all there is to it.

The soul of the thread goes to the server up in the sky, where it will be free of spammers and trolls.

Ouch!:D

When a thread dies it is sent back to 1:00AM the first of January 1970!

Threads that haven't been dead very long can be reserected with a BUMP :p

Pages and pages of them! Dead threads whose souls still linger hopelessly in the distant past. Oh the humanity!

Doesn't look like they can still be bumped. I just tried.

I love you.

Dead threads are reincarnated as new ones, thus explaining why it's necessary to have 2 discussions about abortion, 5 on how evil Bush is, and 7 on religion, and 15 on the latest news story going at around the same time.

The realm of January 1st, 1970 is just the cemetary. Deleted threads are cremated.

Threads that haven't been dead very long can be reserected with a BUMP :pHow long, specifically?I have a thread i want to resurrect eventually,am i better off just starting a new one with a recap?

Old threads don't die, they just fade away.

I love you.
Thank you.

a bit less then 2 years appearantly. What's the name of it?

Well, I recently got reported for a grave dig of a November 2005 thread (I didn't know that was a no-no). So maybe better start a new one. Although if it's in the RP forum, the rules may be different.

They are obviously reincarnated... Every single thread is repeated over and over again in the course of a week, and when the topic finally dwindles, it is brought up once again in a completely irrelevant thread.

This made me think: is there a Death of Threads? Maybe a thread where everything is written LIKE THIS.

Thank you.

Is that why they can't be bumped? Because they are cremated?

You should be able to. It hasn't been that long. It's only clinically dead, the brain's still active, so you should be able to revive it with a defibrillator.;)

What happens to a thread after it dies?

It gets sent into the netherworld of the forum. Neither alive but without the death blow that the mods can give not dead either.

This is something I should have thought up after "What makes a thread last" it isn't far to what happens after the thread fades. I'm a tad annoyed now. ;)

Unless you count the isodimensional shift in space-time that sends the things back to 1970.:p

oh shits, the true thread killer walks amoung us you guys, its me. I found that what would you say on the moon thread quite amusing and despite my propensity for thread killing i decided to post in it! Look like i killed it though so someone with less of a thread killing talent go and post in it and resurrect it!

Its on the, um, first padge.

I like to think that when a thread dies, provided it is good and pure of heart, that it moves on to a better place, a place untouched by the dogmatic regurgitations of fools and the malevolent tentacles of satan's foot soldiers, embedded in a heavenly state of higher existence.

That was beautiful..''cries''

Unless, of course, a forum Necromancer revives a thread and turns it into a zombie undead thread that must be destroyed by a delete to the head. For a good example, see the Chuck Norris thread.
