Are you a thread killer?

lumberjim · 01-22-2006, 11:07 PM

wondering who here sees themselves as a thread killer.

does it seem that everytime you post to a thread, it just kind of stops?

does it seem that people don't respond to what you say?

Do you think people skip over your posts?

Sun_Sparkz · 01-23-2006, 12:14 AM

Yes. I have a barrier here of age, culture, location, how much time i can and often views. I have 100's of posts but dont think i would be half as read as someone with maybe 200 or 300 posts, but i dont care - i like it here.

I wouldnt consider myself a thread killer, but i wouldnt say that my threads or comments are anything huge ... YET!! Mwahahaha

i killed it!

Now that we've located the thread killer, can we hire you to post in Word Association? :p

A quick search shows that I've started 172 threads, and 22, or 12.8% of them, received 0 or 1 replies.

Out of the last 500 threads that I've posted to, 35 or 7% are ones where I made the last post.

Conclusion: I don't kill a lot of threads, but I can do it when I feel like it.

I shot the sheriff, but I did not kill the deputy.
I touch them, they die.

Pretty much.

At least you got it this time.

I'm the Grim Reaper of Threads. Most of what I say either dies on the vine, or sends people screaming. Not all, but most. I think I'm guilty of blathering.

Thread killer extrordinaire. I hope you all said what you needed to say, cause after this no one will see it.

Oh, that's not true, chimmi! (if I may call you chimmi?) '
I kill everything I touch.
