This might be the ultimate in mundane and pointless - you be the judge. On how many consecutive threads have you seen your username as the last to post? I think four is my record. ---

I was in the last thread on this subject. Search for thread kill. This kind of thing gets closed down fast. ---

I rememeber somebody posting that they’d got the most recent post on every forum. As **Scott Plaid** says, this either gets locked down, or crashes the server with people trying to hit the jackpot. ---

Four, I think. It’s quite easy to manage here at around 3.00-4.00pm, since almost everyone else is asleep and there can be relatively long periods without any new posts. ---

One, I believe. Isn’t it lovely being slow? ---

4 or 5. Like **Cuncator** noted, if you post late at night, it’s fairly easy to do even without trying. ---

My intention was not to get people to try to get their name all in a row - just how many they’ve seen in a row. If this is not an appropriate use of bandwidth, mods, please shut 'er down. ---

Two. And I’m not trying to get my name in a row. Usually when I see that I’ve got two, I decide to go to a different forum for a little while. ---

I remember my husband taking a screenshot and posting it years ago, of his username listed as the last to post to something like 10 or 12 threads. It was…ummmm…interesting? :dubious:
