ThreadKillers Anonymous

Or taboo names, banned websites that have badmouthed ATS, and declaring your love Super Silver Haze.

It's a lot more fun to kill them with logic and well thought out replies. It's too easy to use those methods.

You're right of course, but it seems like wasted time to go through all that effort carefully formulating a well thought out reply only to have it all deleted. Although I suppose I could save a text file and call it up later so I can enjoy my intelligence alone.

I have several threads on here that have wonderfully thought out posts in them, with lots of information, and tons of data, that I can't find anymore, because the post and thread histories only go back to about 2009. It makes me sad, because I was really proud of some of them, and don't have copies anywhere.

Bummer! Think there's any hope it might be preserved on one of those "internet archive" sites?

reply to post by jasonl1983


It might be. I'm going to have to try to remember the title and hunt it down.

Thought I'd drop in. I can't seem to get things right anymore. I even got called out for posting a joke about (clean) bigfoot on a bigfoot joke thread (dasiy the bigfoot you tube video) it got canned for being off topic. I haven't figured that one out yet. www.abovetopsecret.com... maybe because I didn't mention a goat? Heck I don't know..all I know is it killed that thread!

Have a seat, crack open a beer. Watch out for a cat that's wandering around here somewhere, and some pachyderm toys that haven't been put away yet, even though someone was told to take care of it.

I don't understand that either. But, It was funny none the less. I hope. its sort of like my favorite TV show "Fringe" all over the place and all in one place at the same time.

We both killed that thread together! We must have made sense! www.abovetopsecret.com...

The annoying thing is that's my own thread!

If you go back to somewhere in the middle of this thread, you'll see where we had blow up toys and pachyderms running around the clubhouse. The pachyderms made a huge mess when most people were on vacation so we got rid of them, but the toys are still laying around. I told one of the new members to pick them up, but obviously they haven't gotten around to it yet.

Ok, I understand. I got my thread sorted out. My video is back up and I've been compensated. It was just all about what you said, and with that, it all became clear for everybody.

Please point out one thread that you have killed?

I have never even seen you come close to doing anything of the sort.

ETA:

Can I join the club?

What, you haven't seen the tons of threads (including a lot that I started damnit) where I'm the last person posting? They're all over the boards. They'll be going along nicely, I'll come along and post, and three days later they're off my list of threads, never to be seen again.

Sure, we'll take anyone. Just watch out for those damn pachyderm toys that still aren't put away.

I just came by to pick up my ball of yarn, for my next post. Carry on.

I'd love to see the stats on who has actually killed the most threads on ATS. I'm betting it's me...but if not, I'm at least top 3...

I know I'm right up there. You can go through my posts list and see a ton of them where I'm the last poster. I'd offer to give numbers, but dear god that would take me years to do.

Haha who are the threadkillers? what do you guy suppose to do lol?

Stop the thread from proceeding by answer the questions? lol

I read few pages of this thread but still has no idea!

We're a support group for people that kill threads merely by posting in them. If you are a thread killer, you can come here and lounge in our club, and feel at home surrounded by people that know your pain, and suffer the same affliction.

I've tried to get the admins to create a tool that could do it (count the number of threads one has the last post in, barring any self-closed threads), but alas, no dice yet.

I wouldn't mind seeing that. It would be fun to keep track of my "kills", and be able to go "nyah nyah nyah! I have the most!" *laugh*
