No way.

Hug thread next.

Posted by Dagonee (Member # 5818) on :

So who actually got the last post?

Posted by Sara Sasse (Member # 6804) on :

It's a classic whodunit.

Obviously, the butler.

[Eek!]

In the pantry, with a shoehorn, wearing a dirndl.

I didn't do it!

I confess. It is I who has the last post.

Posted by kwsni (Member # 1831) on :

Dude, that's like the third or fourth incarnation of that inane thread. THere will be another.

Ni!

Posted by digging_holes (Member # 6237) on :

Hey! The Last Post Thread was IMPORTANT to me! I made lots of friends there. So I'm going to cry if I want to! [Taunt]

That being said, I am now over it. [Wink]

According to the forum's 'Latest Posts' (scroll down a little to see) function, Chaeron had post #3005, the last one, which began

Perhaps it was really long, and its length contributed to the threads demise?

No, there's a cutoff if I remember correctly.

That's curious. The other one was very very long. More than 10000 pages, as I recall...

Posted by newfoundlogic (Member # 3907) on :

The last one was much longer, but it was deleted by the creator.

Yep, several posts on the last page that ran multiple screens worth.

Good riddance! [Razz]

Posted by WraithSword (Member # 6829) on :

Spamhacked, eh?

You'll notice that I'm completely innocent. I never posted on that thread.

Posted by digging_holes (Member # 6237) on :

Well, you posted in this one, which is turning out to be the new version of the old one. So you'll be guilty whenever this one crashes. [Razz]

Wouldn't it be great if someone engineered a virus that could hunt down and eliminate fluff threads? Wow ... [dreams of a better world] [Smile]

Posted by Telperion the Silver (Member # 6074) on :

Gah! Last post thread gone!

Ahem...
POST! [Wink]

Posted by digging_holes (Member # 6237) on :

Geoff, you are blind to the all the joy that fluff has brought people who use it. I suggest you try it sometime. [Razz]

Posted by Chaeron (Member # 744) on :

I warned you people I would kill it.

I gave you fair warning. Looks like Edward Gibbon was too much for the poor old thread, and I only got to Volume IV.

Posted by Chaeron (Member # 744) on :

Oh, and I WIN!

Posted by Derrell (Member # 6062) on :

Chaeron, you should be drawn and quartered.

I never posted in the last post thread.

Does that make this my first last post? (Don't answer that!)

Posted by Anthro (Member # 6087) on :

We don't like the term "kill". We prefer strategic removal.

Who's "we"?

What's the big deal about having the last post?

If you have to ask, you'll just never know...

I don't get it either. [Dont Know]

Posted by Chaeron (Member # 744) on :

Derrel, I'm warning you. If you insist on making that smiley an eternal presence on this thread, I may have to end it as well. I'll introduce it to my good friend, the complete works of Charles Dickens.

Posted by aspectre (Member # 2222) on :

Apparently you don't remember that Dobie was barred from this forum for essentially the same stunt.

Posted by Chaeron (Member # 744) on :

I think there is a difference when all I am doing is killing fluff threads without harming the rest of the board.

Posted by Derrell (Member # 6062) on :

Fluff threads are good. They serve as a counter to all the seriousness of the political threads. Some of us like the fluff threads and don't want them to die.

Posted by aspectre (Member # 2222) on :

No, what you are doing is spamming the forum program, in a manner similar to denial-of-service.
If ya don't like fluff, don't read it.
The moderators are quite capable of removing things that don't belong here.

Posted by Eduardo_Sauron (Member # 5827) on :

Surrender yourself to the fluff... [Evil]

Posted by Goody Scrivener (Member # 6742) on :

remember the fluff... the fluff... the fluff...

Posted by Chaeron (Member # 744) on :

aspectre, see what I mean? I don't think too many people would weep over the loss of this thread. Nonetheless, I accomplished my goal of ending the last post thread. If that means that I just created a new one, then them's the breaks. It's just not original the second time around.

Posted by digging_holes (Member # 6237) on :

Actually, I think this is at least the third or fourth time around. And if you don't like it, butt out! Or in other words, if you think you're too good for this thread, then you probably are and we don't want you here anyway. [Taunt]

Posted by Alcon (Member # 6645) on :

*bump* Here we go, I was right. The original last post thread got too big and overflowed a variable.

Posted by ricree101 (Member # 7749) on :

As always with these bumps, I need to check dates better. At first I thought they finally managed to kill off the current one.

Posted by Goody Scrivener (Member # 6742) on :

Yeah, I got seriously confused seeing my name on the front page... [Smile]

Me too, until I saw a post from NFl and double checked the dates.

Posted by BlackBlade (Member # 8376) on :

Ti's mine for the time being.

Posted by Vadon (Member # 4561) on :

You're claiming the last post in a non-last post thread? Wow. [Smile]

Man. It was kind of a shock seeing a newfoundlogic post. [Frown]

I hadn't noticed when I first glanced through the thread. But you're right. [Frown]

It has been more than that. The oldest one I can remember had none of "Last" "Post" or "Thread" in the title.

Around what time was that? The current one started up in 2004, and I'm guessing that the one before that lasted a fair amount of time. I know hatrack has been around for a fairly long time in internet terms, but I'm surprised that the last post threads have apparently been here for so much of it.

Posted by Tatiana (Member # 6776) on :

I think it started before the turn of the century, but after the switch from Big Mouth Lion to this new forum software. The original title, I believe, was something like "thread killer".
