I killed my first thread!!!!!!!!! ask me anything

[Runcible Spoon]

let's see how long it takes for this baby to tank!

[Nag Champa]

1. What does it mean to kill a thread and how is it done?

Yeah...Im pretty new.

[Runcible Spoon]

3. it's when you're the last one to post...

and then nobody else does after you...so it sinks like a stone and becomes but a memory

[Runcible Spoon]

6. nag champa incense....

my roommies burn that all the time when they're *ahem* partaking in herbal supplements

[Rambis]

20. I love that stuff

The nag not the swag:)

[neuvocat]

2. That thread will come back from the deeeeaaaaadddd....

and will seek its vengeance...

muhu-hahahaaaaa.....

[Runcible Spoon]

5. i hope so....

i guess maybe i killed it because I posted a horsey pic on a thread asking for pics of kitties/puppies/rugrats only? :shrug:

[Runcible Spoon]

18. OMG! you are psychic! it DID come back!

now all it wants is BRAAAAAAAAAAAIIIIIIIIIINNNNNNNNNNSSSSSSS

[Grown2Hate]

4. Is that when you post to a thread and then it just DIES... no one else

posts anything further? Because that's happened to me at least a HUNDRED times... and I only have just over 200 posts! I'm beginning to think no one likes me. ;) You could start a thread that states, "Voter Fraud Proven: Kerry Becomes Next President" and if I added something to it, the discussion would END. hahaha :)

[Nag Champa]

7. I have nothing to say.

Im just responding to your post so it doesn't happen again.

The 200 club's gotta stick together...

[Runcible Spoon]

10. well THIS is how you get thousands of posts!

ya think all those old timers sat around disussing politics ALL DAY?

[FreedomFry]

12. Second that! The world needs more 200s! n/t

[Runcible Spoon]

8. awww hang in there!

:hug:

[Dora]

9. You didn't kill this thread!

[Frogtutor]

36. Please don't die now, please don't die now, please don't die now

I only have about 70 posts, and this has happened to me A LOT. I'm beginning to take it personally :( I'm feeling very self-conscious...

If this one dies now, I'm really going to be screwed up in the head

[Grown2Hate]

11. haha Thanks to all.

You all ROCK. :grouphug:

[Runcible Spoon]

13. I WON'T allow you to kill THIS ONE!

dammit, if I have to kill my own thread, SO BE IT!! :evilgrin:

[Runcible Spoon]

14. thanks!

you rock too! :yourock:

[OldLeftieLawyer]

15. Oh, yeah

Check my number :)

[Runcible Spoon]

21. hey BTW I really admired your posts on a certain flamefest thread

in the lounge. You're quite level-headed and compassionate. My kind of people.

[OldLeftieLawyer]

24. Why, thank you

I've gotten into so many flamefests in my short time here, I'm feeling rather retardant.

Thanks.

[JeffInRick]

16. Can I help?

Hate to see nice things die....

[Runcible Spoon]

17. awww thanks for posting!

and WELCOME TO DU!!:hi:

[JeffInRick]

22. Thanks...I'm nervous.

:scared:
I lurked around awhile before joining. People can be pretty harsh here.
I thought this might be a place to stick my toe in the water.

[Runcible Spoon]

23. yeah people might jump on you for having low post count....

but to be fair we see soooooo many trolls just disrupting threads....but don't let it dissuade you! you can post in this thread and help accomplish 3 vital goals: 1.get your count up 2. get some moral support for jumping into the "big gun" forums (have you checked out Israel/Palestine forum yet? :scared:) 3. Help my little thread from dying!

[JeffInRick]

25. Low count.

That hardly seems fair.
I've been thinking far longer than I've been posting. Why are my thoughts only as good as my number of posts.
I guess I understand about the troll thing. I've spent a few hours here, over the last week, and I haven't seen a troll...that I could recognize anyway.

[Runcible Spoon]

29. no it ISN'T fair...i totally agree

and on the flip side of things, we had a couple high-post count people "out" themselves as Freepers after election day. I think why you haven't seen any trolls is because the mods have stepped up the patrol...they know the last thing we can deal with in these dark times is SMUG REPUBLICANS! but PLEASE STAY! We need to stick together and we can use as many intelligent people as we can get!

[JeffInRick]

32. How rude!

Strange way to get your jollies, abusing trust.
I can promise to stick together. The intelligent thing is a moment to moment question....

[Runcible Spoon]

34. heeee! well at least I know you're FUNNY!

:bounce:

[ScreamingMeemie]

26. Welcome to DU JeffinRick!!

:toast: We're harmless! I love your comment in your profile! :hi:

[JeffInRick]

27. Thanks Mrs. G!

Now I can't even remember what I put in my profile. Ignore what I said about my thoughts being good! :-)

[ScreamingMeemie]

28. It says you are schizophrenic, which is good to know in advance.

;) teasing. :hi:

[JeffInRick]

30. Oh yea....

I swear, I am not a stupid person! :-)
Jeff, my "other" and I always open accounts together. That way we both know what we each are up to.
I doubt he'll post here. But if I look to be of 2 minds on something, it may be because "we" are.

[ScreamingMeemie]

31. All the more fun! You can blame any flaming on each other!

:hi:

[JeffInRick]

33. That sounds like a plan....

..."It wasn't me officer, it was my evil twin!"

My brother-in-law calls me a flamer, but I've never actually caught fire.

[OldLeftieLawyer]

19. That's a good start

Welcome to DU, JeffInRick

[Danger Duck]

35. Give us this day

our daily thread.

[Runcible Spoon]

37. heee! thanks for checking in!

this is now my official 3rd 30+ post smokin' thread! Can I get an amen? Can I get a Hallelujah?

[JeffInRick]

38. Rubber ducky you're the one...

...you make my thread time lots of fun....

Ok, getting silly. I'll get home and add a glass of wine to the mix and be just too much to stand.

[Runcible Spoon]

39. ohhh i doubt it!

you've been charming dahling, simple chahhhming! stick around!

[JeffInRick]

40. Good luck

I've got to run get actual work done before facing the drive home.
Good luck with your little thread. I'll try to get back to nurture it a bit more later.
Bye!

[Runcible Spoon]

41. K I'm off to dinner!

I'd like to thank the Academy, God, and everyone who participated in this thread! See your dreams CAN come true! :crazy:
