**Governor Quinn ** would have fit right in with the regular crewe…
I think I made my first ever post in that thread. Oddly enough, I had a dissenting opinion about the original situation, but I was too shy to make it.
Really? You never said. What was it?
Opened it once by mistake (truly, I was scrolling while the page was loading), opened it when Unclebeer closed it to see why he closed it.
I don’t think that you can claim the high view rate was necessarily due to an awestruck audience playing along in lurkdom. Have you guys considered setting up an email list if chat’s not in tune with your infinites? That way you can have your fun and not bog down the hamsters.
I read it when it first started, then quickly abandoned it.
BTW, I’m pretty sure that every time someone posts to a thread, the view count gets bumped (unless you stop the browser before it redisplays the page with your post on it). And of course, you have to open the thread to post to it. A 10-to-1 view-to-post ratio is pretty typical of a lot of threads; I wouldn’t consider it high at all. Just look at any of the forum pages and you’ll see much higher ratios than that.
Oh my freakin’ gawd! Those long threads bored the stuff out of me, don’t ye know…
Yarr…!
I can’t recall ever posting there, but all my friends said the really cool people hung out there … until they got busted for possession by daddy’s rent-a-cop brother.
First time I tried to open it the hamsters died and I never got to read it. Next time I thought to check it it was at page 5 so I just never bothered reading it.
I think they pretty much discussed solid and inexpensive solutions to every one of life’s problems you’ve ever come up against … bummer that you missed it …
Yup, that pretty much 'splains it!
What an interesting ‘take’ … I never said awestruck audience.
Actually when it got long, I did a little reading in some of the other threads and LJ areas that were discussing it. And, from what folks who are far more researched, knowledgeable and educated than I, from changes made in the systems that the board runs on, some time back, the size of any individual thread doesn’t affect the performance of the hamsters or their burden. Or so I’ve read …
Oh, and Where are my manners???
HI, Fairy Chat Mom and misstee and jools
and of Course Lieu… you’re legendary man …
and, of course, all the D.Bear Babes so sweet to put in an appearance!
Ahem.
[stage whisper]psst. Wyatt. May I see you in my office, please sir? Right away, thanks. IM[/sw]
Carry on, carry on nothing to see here. Just needed to talk to a man about a hot tub…
Well…Two important reasons I kept lurking were
- the humour,
- the very positive attitude towards flirting. I never knew flirting could be such an art. But it can. And I’ve become an appreciator, and even tried my hand at it, a little.
This was my thought, thank you for putting it so well tanookie.
I guess we could have started a new thread about each topic that we discussed in the OMFG Club, but I would say that would have caused more strain on the hampsters than keeping it all together.

Moderator’s Notes:
Oh, for fuck’s sake. How’d I miss this infernal thing before? We are not gonna have a goddamned re-cap of that thread. Ain’t no way in hell.
You remember incorrectly. We took just as much flak for closing that thread as we did for closing the one being discussed here. And the same thing will happen next time, I’m sure.
