The problem are the ones that do not realize that this thread has simply been solved and therefore there is no need to add anything to it. It has run its c[o]urse. Glad to have cleared that up for you, now you can relax. And this thread can rest in peace. It has more than deserved it, poor thing. Why did it take so long? Spoiler: Because you’re not paying attention to what I say. ---

Don’t worry, he is just faking it for attention. Best thing to do is to ignore him. ---

Right, fight, stop it. This thread’s got silly. Started off with a nice little idea about dying after the last poster posts, but now it’s got silly.
