Any chance it can be renamed to Trolls, made invisible from the newest posts on the main page, and have this thread unlocked? -Celt who wants to make a thread with 10k replies

But what if we want a trolling board? Or would it defeat the concept of trolling if they were admitted trolls?

Please, the muppets, flooders, chatterers and spammers are just hogging it these days. We (the prolific) want it 'under the horizon'.

I disagree, I don't know about VBB, but it made life very difficult for UBB to operate effeiciently (it would re-search and re-send huge amounts of info). We will just end up with more 'bloody slow boards' topics.

We already have a Trolls board: Humanities.

Try it, it's fun.

Tip: try the smokers, they're easily upset and need to take a break every 5 mins to have a fag and release their stress.

Have fun,
Al.

You shouldnt disagree if you dont know about something
I've seen several threads on other boards with 40000+ replies, as well as boards with a total of 1.5million replies and 90000 threads and 60000 members.

Fine, but I know that one topic, by itself, was making response times unbearable.

Flames get boring arguing with people who repeat themselves endlessly.
Want a good flame, search for the knackers topic, best flame thread ever

i dont like the idea. it makes people CARE about post counts, when its quality, not quantity that counts.

A post should be like a skirt. Long enough to cover the essentials but short enough to keep it exciting!

heres a good idea, its kind of a strange unique idea so you might not be ready for this kind of thinking, but how about we leave that other thread locked AND lock this one.

Mindblowing stuff, what?

Please though, seriously, let both threads die.

Baz_ if that is your real name.
we are just showing an intrest. the bin is the trolls boards now apart from name more or less. and as for the unlocking of the post well i aint pushed. but it would be a good laugh, And it seems like people wouldnt mind except you. but tbh i dont care either way.

also want tocorrect an earlier stament the most viewed post is on after hours and is the back after drinks one 5k+ which is quiet a lot and it seems to be still getting the hits.

just to clear some things up. the thread with the most replies ever was created on the hitk clan board. FatB, Pugsley, Stratagist, Richindub2 and myself propelled it to well over 1500 replies, before i hid it. Then FatB deleted it and i lost over 900 posts

remember kiddies, it's quality, not quantity.

How about a petiton to Dev/Cloud to unlock the thread for Celt?

If not...
We want a POLL!!

"Unlock thread or not?"

something like...

yes...we want to spam
no...people who care about post counts are shallow and it deserves to stay locked.
undecided...see General €lection Board.

or something funnier....I'm not in the funni thinking mode right now...:(

Is that directed against me? All I want is for the REcycle bin to be off the "20 last posts" list on the front page.
