Tap tap tap.

Is this thing on...?

Can everyone hear me at the back of the room?

mprhchess

it does now it says "by:dogdog123" even though she didnt create this topic

so you can create a topic then abandon it and people will think it was created by someone else

mprhchess

this could be useful. . .

 yes unless someone copies the originalpost in his respond. Then you can not delete it from the posts.

I once made a thread called the Hot Potato that had the following text:

"The idea of this thread is to toss it around. To play, copy and paste this exact text below, adding your name to the list. When you see that you are the owner of the hot potato, wait until someone comments and then go in and delete your own post. Let's see how many people we can pass the thread to...

Rael...
(insert your name here)

"

 

It went around for a few days, until someone accidentally deleted it altogether, I guess they didn't wait for another person to post.

Oh Gert, it won't work now, plus it doesn't have the happy moniker of "Hot Potato" which I think is essential, because everyone above would have to delete their comments down, y'know? I was just mentioning it in response to mprh's speculation about the usefulness of the idea. I love self-referential little toy exploits like that.

/plus it'd have to be in off topic anyhow

 I was just kidding. I know it was not your intention to start it up right now.

You can't argue with success. You have captured the imagination of the entire chess community with this compelling piece of literary work. Keep up the good work.
