That post isn’t nearly as informative as mine.

(Oh, and if any of you haven’t been awake to see this thread all night, to answer your questions; yes, yes he really did it.)

It’s obvious, that with those stats…out of pure respect…you should all go away and let me kill my thread.

So far we’ve done

foreign languages

personal attacks

junior modding

post count padding

NSFW links not titled as such

death threats

mundanity

I think there’s only one option left.

Discussion of board performance, and what they’re using the money for.

We present a ballad in honor of the brave men and women fighting to save the world from evil treads.

The Tread Beret

Fighting dopers who bring pie  
Fearless denizens who post and lie  
It is mean, the Pit, they say  
The brave souls of the Thread Beret

Silver wings upon **fisha’s** breast  
There is **5-4** , he does his best  
One hundred dopers test today  
But only one wins the Thread Beret

Trained to pad off others’ posts  
Thread Beret live on empty boasts  
**BBS** who types by night and day  
Mediocrity from the Thread Beret

Silver wings upon **fisha’s** breast  
There is **5-4** , he does his best  
One hundred dopers test today  
But only one wins the Thread Beret

Back at home a young **Sapo** cries  
\*\*ToS’ \*\* killing skills, he must revise  
It ain’t dead, this thread’s alive  
Leaving **An Gadaí** to take a dive

Put silver ladles up **Auto’s** hole  
Pray the **Sarge** is not a troll  
**LOUNE** ’ll be a man they’ll test one day  
Have **Player** win the Thread Beret

I predict a mod will be the thread killer for this particular thread…

(I haven’t read the whole thing - I posted somewhere on page 3 or 4. If someone else has predicted this same prediction, well then, let them be the correct predictor.)

I never in my wildest dreams could have imagined this thread would steamroll its way to 24 pages. It’s a sickness guys, a sickness. In other news, I’ve started having dreams about technological determinism.
