Eh, may as well start it off by turning it into a pforu thread. Rate-ups for you all!!

But it needs more Horse to be official.

Well, the fact that we lasted so long without an admin shutting it down for content is pretty impressive and worth celebrating. Smiley: lol

It really should be locked and stickied, not shut down and deleted. There's a lot of history in that thread.

I doubt it'll be deleted, but I'm sure it'll sink into the depths of the board.

Or not, with how slow this moves nowadays.

We can't let Maz's spider-fear confession just sink into the depths!

I had one of those awful spider-on-body moments. One of the biggest spiders I've ever seen, too.

It was summer, and I was laying on the couch shirtless, watching TV. I couldn't have been older than 9 or 10.

My dad used to do this thing where he'd sneak up and tickle you. But in a way that would make you think it was a house fly. I automatically assumed it was him doing that when I felt something on my back. NOPE. Went to bat "his hand" away, and mine came back with a massive spider on it. And I know now it was a wolf spider, and those bastards hurt when they bite, so I got lucky.

Freaking hate spiders.

This thread is about 95% of the traffic this forum gets so I doubt anyone minds.

Well, the previous thread was, this will be.

Thread dynamics are wierd. Sometimes a particularily large and monolithic thread discourages new posters, where lots of smaller threads would show activity better and encourage forum growth. Though in this case unless they link wowhead here I doubt this forum will see a surge of traffic any time soon. Who knows though.

I don't think we've really (at least intentionally) scared off anyone aside from RAWDEAL, but he's a **** anyway.

I guess we could make another 473 pages of posts...

Part of me feels demotivated, though. It took monumental effort on our behalf to get the old thread to where it was. The thread contains four years of constant, daily interaction between a relatively small group of people. I'm pretty sure there are some psychologists out there who would choke their infant babies to death for that kind of empiric data. It's four years of moments in time that will now disappear. The thread had become an icon - a beacon of light in an otherwise mind-shattering darkness - and now it'll slowly fade to the second page where it will be forgotten.

What's more, it had become my sole reason for posting on this website, aside from the occasional rant in the TV/Movies section. There were times where I just felt like not giving a damn, but the thought of contributing to the project of making the largest thread on the site kept me coming back.

I understand that threads need to be locked when they reach critical mass, but there were some 15 posts between the "By the way, we're locking this thread" warning and the actual lock. This thread moves at like 40 posts a day, or something like that. I checked the thread for new posts - there were none - and went to see Star Trek Into Darkness. I come back and it's locked.

Imagine taking your four-year-old pet wombat to the veterinarian for a routine dental check. You go to the toilet while the wombat is getting sedated, and when you come out, you're told that your pet wombat had cancer and was euthanized and cremated while you were gone.

I didn't even get to say goodbye. Smiley: frown

My point is: I understand the need to lock big threads, but holy ****, how urgent was it? This is a four-year-old project, and you ended it in a heartbeat. How about a 24-hour heads-up next time, eh?

Sure. Next 473 page thread, I'll give you at least 24 hours notice before I lock it.

This is that notice.

You know, I'm going to wait around until we reach 473 pages again, and when you're sleeping, I'll bump it to 474 and ruin your plan!

You could at least keep a link to the old one in the forum history thread in you Journal. I think it deserves a spot there.

At least we passed Aethiens post count.

Or possibly he just never caught up. Did you ever have more posts than the thread?

I think you didn't answer what age kids you were working with (I asked that in the old thread).

Nope, nothing. I thought that was the proper way to summon him.

2nd, 3rd, 7th and 8th grade. Sports (ya, I know; the irony isn't lost on me, either), nature/technology, physics/chemistry, geography, and math.

And I'll be taking evening classes in math (two more years in school, sigh) so I can upgrade my license and perhaps get a permanent position at the school.
