I want to have a thread that has the same number of views as posts. To do that, YOU(whoever is reading this right now) will have to post something, anything on this thread. I won’t look at this when I post it so it will be ‘0 posts, 0 views’ when it is on the board. So, let’s try it.

can’t happen.
been tried already.
id post a link but I’m afraid to leave and come back and
have to post twice to this little piece of inanity 🙂
Which reminds me :
Travelling to Limerick (Ireland) recently I came accrosssome roadworks and there was a sign informing all and sundry that the roadworks were being conducted and sponsered by European funds and the title of the project ?
“Inane Development”
Inane apparently is the name of the place.
But considering the number of roadworks conducted in this coutry solely to secure further funding it had a particular irony.
There:
Thats more reply than you deserve.

hey, i had an idea…
it only adds one view per person…
so, all we have to do is post MANY MANY TIMES to keep up with the views! if we each add one view and five posts, we can pull ahead!
come on, we can do it!
go! go! go! go! go!

I’ve got an even better idea.
Use the search engine to see if this has been done before(it has).
A thread like this will grow beyond reason and ultimately be locked.

Maybe they don’t have names. Maybe they’re unregistered lurkers who wouldn’t post for all the olives in Italy.
Either way, t’wasn’t me.
