Unhappy Thread Killers Anonymous

Hi, My name is JackTheLad, and I kill threads. I've been killing threads since May 2004.

I never intended to start killing threads, it just somehow happened. I would post things that I thought were informative, sometimes even funny, but nobody would respond. Or if there was a response it wasn't to me.

I knew I had a problem when I started responding to my own posts in the hope that keeping them on the first page would make others read them and reply. But this only made the problem worse, there are dead threads where I have written the last 3 posts to myself

Thankfully I have recognised my problem. I am determined to confront it before I descend any furthur into the abyss. I thankfully never got so low as to offer Karma just to get people to respond. I am grateful I am able to face my problem without descending to that level.


If you are a thread killer, or know someone who is, please respond or get them to respond, I'll send you Karma!

Oh damn

In Deadmeats case thats really odd, cos I don't think I've ever given him Karma (actually from his stats it doesn't look like he's ever had Karma! ) Maybe he is on global Karma ignore.

When I've spread it around a bit (oohh errr missus) I'll get back to you guys.

Finally! Another member. There were loads last week, they've all gone quite shy now.

I know who you all are

Stand up now. oh they're probably in bed... right well stand up tomorrow morning and expose yourselves... no hang on, that didn't come out right either.

Come on people, we can easily do the research and see the threads you've killed. You'll feel better for admitting it first.

Cheers,
