Nope, but I don't think I'll achieve my goal anyway, considering there's no way to fill the page now that other threads have popped up. So it's moot.
I figured that if I did it fast enough it would work, but as I said in the Monkey's Paw thread, flood control prevented that.
In any case, I certainly expected that all the active threads would get bumped back to the first page in short order.

So your goal is, what, to end real discussion on Hatrack and flood the system with spam? I understand a lot of people are upset about the decline in civility, but this is more obnoxious still. I don't have any authority to tell you to knock it off, but I can certainly offer it as advice, and I do.

Ah. I figured there had to be some context I was missing. It's a cute idea in theory, but in practice it really is obnoxious and, I believe, constitutes spamming the board. I'm all for fluff threads, but not a whole string of empty ones just to drive the real discussions off the front page.

I would say that it is still possible ot achieve the goal if you wait for the forum to let you start creating new threads, then bump all the old fluff threads.

I think it was approximately as obnoxious (well, to be more accurate, 7 times as obnoxios) as the "high quality thread", "medium quality thread" and "low quality thread" that were posted a few months ago, in which people mostly posted "I am posting in this high quality thread!"

Actually, it was a good thing I didn't think of this, because having done it there would be no way to undo it.
