I remember one of the first threads I posted in on NSG. The OP was lamenting being a thread killer. It seemed like whenever she posted in a thread, it died. We all commiserated, shared our own stories of thread killing, and did everything we could to keep the thread alive. But, nowadays, I find myself wishing I could be a thread killer, and post the post that will end the rest of the posts in a thread. Of course, there's an obvious downside to this, that I'll leave to my fellow Generalites to point out. But, how about you? Ever want to kill a thread? What current threads would you kill?

The ones that should die, never do, and the good die young.

Yeah, I'd like to be able to kill threads that I'm not interested in, or might be interested in but are too long to catch up with. But I realise that that would be incredibly selfish, so I probably wouldn't wish it.

Religion and Jesus threads die and don't resurrect. ;)

I am frequently a thread killer. :(

But that's probably because I tend to be locking or deleting them.

Threads have a purpose.

Religion and Jesus threads die and don't resurrect. ;)

They just reincarnate.

Yes, but you're like the 007 of thread killers! You're licensed to Mod!

I wish I could make clothing fall apart with my mind.

I always kill threads/get ignored *sulks*

I wish I could make clothing fall apart with my mind.

Now be careful, you could easily end up seeing something you don't want to see....

*beats dying thread with sock full of rocks*

I'd like to kill the Post of Death thread.

The first post was posted 19-03-2006, 2:07 AM.
Quite a few times it has happened that I contribute in a thread and eagerly await comments and replies to my post, but the thread just never gets any more posts. It feels like my post caused the thread to die, and I watch it drop out of the first page.

Anyone else feel like this?

The last post was posted today:
well...im back to say only one thing....and then maybe a few other things to follow up on that one thing.


Pie...

Thank you and have a nice day with that. Im gunna go, do....stuff....and.....things......hey shiny object.

It lives in undeath in Spam... :p

And no one ever quotes you either :(

even spandex?

Usually never. No.

Well... I'd want to have some control over it but I see your point. The Gods could have had fun with me with that one.

The very thread of my OP! I don't consider being in Spam to truly be alive, at least not in terms of a thread . . .

So that was your first thread? Kudos. It was a good one :)

I know, Spam is undeath, while Chat is certain death/oblivion...

I still find it impressing that it's being posted in though, even today :p

Not my thread, just the one I was recalling in the op of this thread. Soory for any confusion, but I cannot take credit ;)

I am the Thread Death.

As long as there is spam, no thread shall ever die.
Like me...I go away for a long time, then poof! I'm back.

I'm not a thread killer, I just wind up getting posts ignored/skipped over. I'm the thread speed bump.

As for threads I would balefire:

(So-and-so) is a troll.
Threads where people argue for ten pages over whether one math error is more right than another math error.
My God is better than your (whatever).
The gods-damned Dutch thread.
... more I can't think of right now. I'll edit later.

Oh no, I know it wasn't your thread... As the top poster in that thread, I should know those things ;)
(Hehey, you've got 108 posts there!) :p

Let me clarify: "So that was one of the first threads you posted in? Kudos." :)

Hehe... I guess it's me that should say Sorry for any confusion http://www.freesmileys.org/emo/ad/oops.gif

Loved the ending, but the rest...so wrong!!! :eek: :confused: :confused: :(

My threads always die before they get started! :(

Thread Killer's in tha house!

http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y223/GermanNightmare/copkiller.jpg

Yes, it happens quite often.

Just killed one.

Aw no, I love it when threads go on forever! Especially ones about science subjects, specifically biology-based ones, cos then I have a chance of arguing a bit. :D

Once, just once do I want to see thread like this die after a post like this.

Never, ever happens. Oh, the humanity. :(

My all-time favourite thread. http://i.imdb.com/Photos/CMSIcons/emoticons/basic2/yes.gif

I am a thread killer....Either that or I'm on everyone's ignore list.

Aw no, I love it when threads go on forever! Especially ones about science subjects, specifically biology-based ones, cos then I have a chance of arguing a bit. :D

The one problem with them is that if you don't get in at the begining it can be impossible to get upto date, I usually don't bother posting on anything which is over about 4 pages, its just to much hassle.

And there are never enough good science treads everything is either about religion or politics and so my post tend to just get steamroled over and egnored.:(

http://www.freesmileys.org/emo/ad/old.gifYou know what they say:

Good threads never die - they just get moved to spam.

And some of us tend to them there once in a while... Or quite a lot, as the case may be :D

I'd gladly help you out with that.
*Strokes beard*




Yes there are plenty, sometimes my wish has come true othertimes it hasn't i'd really love to kill a whole set of threads right now.
Threads against the nature of NS, spefically General.

Sorry, what was that? You want me to bump the British thread again? ;)

Generally, I just ignore those threads I don't like. I do sometimes like the idea of bringing a heated discussion to an end with my point, made with total, undeniable logic and reasonableness, but for some reason this never seems to actually happen. :p

Oh i wasn't thinking about the NPIB thread(I'd forgoten about that:p )

You could always let it go quiet and then dredge it up for the elections.;)

Alas, I'm afraid the thread is out of my control. The loyal band of NBIP supporters seem determined that it survives.

I doubt anything ill will happen to it.:)

I want that "Real Man" thread to die, painfully.

And there are never enough good science treads everything is either about religion or politics and so my post tend to just get steamroled over and egnored.:(
I just tend to put my ideas in randomly or join an ongoing debate - they're always the same basic arguments, so trawling through 20 pages is a bit pointless when you know exactly how it will go. A dash of politics and religion is always good, but anyone starts taking it wildly OT and I either roll with it or scream abuse at them until they stop :p

Plus, massive threads are always good for a bit of spamming :D

I haven't got a lot of posts under my wing yet, but i've killed a couple of threads already.


Guess that makes us all "threadminators"?

It hasn't happened too often, and never in the threads where I'd love to get the last word, but on occassion, I suppose. As for what I'd like to kill.....

Half of the thread in the UN forum would do nicely, I think, including one or two that I've started.

The ones that should die, never do, and the good die young.

Alright, sounds cool.

*blink* I think I remember that post....wait..was that me?!

Why would anyone want to be a threadkiller? It means no one cares to respond to your post. Sounds like a blow to self esteem to me.

I prefer to think it's more a stunned silence, because of my overwhelming intellegence and wit. :p

I'm on good form tonight. I seem to be killing every thread I'm posting in.

I want to be a thread killer because there are so many that I want to go away. That's the drawback, most any thread, someone wishes it would just go away :rolleyes:

Who's killing what thread now?

Not you.

you know...I remember a thread just like this knowen as the Post of death....the umm moral kinda puttered out without anyone learning a lesson, and I cant remember what the lesson was suppose to be anyway. Ummm what am I talking about?

Similar, but opposite. The Post of Death thread is the one I was recalling. But, where that thread was about lamenting killing threads, this one is about wishing that you could :cool:

I'd tell you, but I'm not allowed to post in here anymore.

Only for Philospy, of course! What, you think I want to be known as the person who killed the Thread Killer thread? :rolleyes: :p

I guess that would be the ideal way to find out exactly who is the ultimate thread killer, whichever one of us is the last to post on this thread.
