Several of us did this about six to eight years ago. I think that the thread was eventually closed by a mod, but I could be mistaken. Anyway, I’m glad that people are more mature now and that no one would bump a thread simply for childish games! ---

A mod could move it to **Thread Games** , whereupon such bumping would be entirely appropriate. However, once it was reclassified as a game, everyone would lose interest. A few posts after this one will be the post six years from now that lifts this thread out of being consigned to the depths of the sdmb servers. ---
