[QUOTE=An Arky]  
I hate long running threads. I mostly use the New Posts feature to read the Dope, and there are times when I’d really rather see new threads than the same old stupid long running circle jerk threads over and over. I wish there was an Ignore Thread feature, and if enough people use it on a particular thread, then the thread gets closed, kind of like voting someone off American Idol or something.

Well, you really ought to be happy. I just checked the threads you’ve started and the only one to get more than 60 replies was [So, what’s your thread-killing percentage?](http://208.100.26.199/sdmb/showthread.php?t=307241&page=1&pp=50) which got 78.

That’s right; I’m just jealous! :o

If I really wanted to OP a long thread, maybe I can just start a LOTR/a s d f g/write this story one byte at a time/Ask the Child Murderer/So, I’m thinking of changing my name to Nigger Jim Hottentot thread. 😃
