Hm. Well, I can’t just let you waltz in and kill this thread now, can I? ---

No, it’s time for the thread to die now that I’ve posted in it. I’m reminded of something that I occasionaly got involved in on the Fathom forum; there are two threads there where people post random comments (rather like the MMP threads) which the moderator aways closes at some point after she notices that are 200 posts, then opens a new thread and gives an “award” to the last, or second to the last, poster in the closed thread. Every so often when the threads hit 200 posts people would start trying to get everyone else to stop posting so they would “win”. ---

[QUOTE=bonzer] There was [this thread](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=259417) from 2004 with such a piece of numbercrunching. I came 7th as the most effective non-mod threadkiller. [/QUOTE] Wow…we need to get that **Earthling** back here. Maybe we could pay him to crunch numbers for every SDMB year. ---

As I noted in another thread, I kill about 15% of threads I post to, and feel like a threadkiller. So lets see some real threadkilling stats Si ---
