Are you a Thread-Killer, or do you just happen to "get in the last word"?
I like to say I'm just getting in the last word.

Too bad that logic doesn't work when I'm asking a question ;)

2. True
:P

But do you think of your last post as killing the thread or of the last word, or maybe something else?

6. no
But wouldn't it make more sense to stop moving their colonies around on tractor-trailer rigs and just set up hives on every almond grove?

7. No, I am.
We had a contest here a few years ago and I won it.

So I have the current title.

I will be glad to give it away.

8. What's ironic
is that you can go into a thread thinking you're giving them all the last word, only to end up breathing life back into it as you are resoundly ignored and they refuse to allow the thread to be killed :P

10. Yes, the contest I won went on and on.
I won it by accident, didn't want to win.

Thread killers threads are fun.

11. They work best on forums like this.
There are so many members that it is dynamic. I've played on sites with less than 1000 members and you have to wait a day sometimes to get a reply. That's when they have rules that state you win if there are no posts after 48 to 72 hours :)

12. The thread was huge.
The thread was locked I think, and I just got in under the wire.

It was a fun time.

16. They ususually are.
I got "indoctrinated" into the Lounge through a "Questions Only" thread one night, after seeing people in GD commenting about it :D It was like that last Friday for the "Three Word Story" thread :)

19. I felt bad winning it.
Two other people were trying really hard to win.

I wasn't even in the Lounge when I won.

I came back later and found out.

22. Sometimes it just happens that way
and I'm sure they were fine with it, since there is that sense of being ignored when you really do kill the thread ;)
