Remembering the Most Posts Thread

Sort:
Avatar of checkmateibeatu

About a month ago, I came up with an idea for a thread, or maybe more after it- a most posts thread. For this to work, and have the new thread be exciting to be a part of, tere had to be a limit- I went with 24 hours. I made the thread. It was a great sucess- one of the best threads I had taken part in, if not the best. Unfortunately, the thread went on to become the contest it was, with a page being filled every one or two minutes. It was then deleted (I would have locked it if I called this shot, but I didn't, unfortunately). Were you part of this thread? If you were, share your thoughts on it!

That was the lamest thread I have ever seen.

Really? I don't think it was.

Well apparently you got yourself a black mark from kohai, who wasn't very impressed with what you did.

It wasn't the best thread at the end, but at the beginning, it was great.

INB4 this thread about another thread gets even cooler.

I prefer pancakes. Vacation abuse needs to be fixed. Glad they're cleaning up the top lists. Hurt Scotch, heal Caro-Kann. Speeding neutrinos. The Beatles are awesome. And I nominate MsJean for cpotm Oct 2011.

I didn't know that blocked people can't post in your group threads, so I made it thinking that they could.

The only relevant question is how many posts you got in 24 hours. That way, you set down the gauntlet for someone else to try to beat you.

I don't understand how that's a competitive activity.

What does "estimated winner" even mean?

No, silly rabbit, I was talking about OmarCayenne's ugly kitchen thread. I would post a link, but you have to be a member of a certain group...

I wasn't online when the thread got deleted, so I have to rely on an estimate, by TheMouse, as well as the Member Points leaderbaord the following day.

So it's still just estimated. So you still don't know. Obviously you can't take the word of someone who was a competitor, right?

But if it angered kohai (never a good idea) then you can't really do another, now can you.

In other news, there is a member point leaderboard.

That was a TON of work keeping up with them, so this is not something I will do again (not to mention that it would get old very quickly, and it angers Kohai).  It is very unlikely that zman actually beat TheMouse, since the margin was so huge (100 points or so).
