Has anyone else posted in a thriving thread, only to find that it inexplicable dies.. ending with your post?
Not in the way that you are resurrecting an old thread. But, in a new/recent thread, perhaps popping on the front page. There are posts just seconds before yours. It has pages and pages of replies. Not Q&A threads, either, but the open-ended ones that invite a lot of comments and conversation.
It just seems to die mystically from your presence.
You don't derail the topic towards the end, or slow the pace, but ends abruptly after your post.

I don't think I usually post anything that would derail and destroy a thread. It seems random most of the time. And, it happens a lot.
I'm starting to feel like I have a hex on me, goddamn.

Anyone else cursed with Spontaneous Thread Death?

1, 1 and 1 so far.

How interesting...

I haven't ever killed a thread.

To my knowledge...

Edit:
2,3 and 1 after I posted...

Yep, ironically once it happened after I posted an ironic comment followed by "/thread". The timing on that one was perfect.

I never killed one, but some threads have probably slowed down after my post. Might just be my perception, though.

Yes, mostly because my opinion is so awe-inspiring that no one can top it.

Actually, I'm not a thread killer, I'm a thread butcher
/sarcasm

I don't really know, I certainly hope I don't kill threads.

That's happened on a few threads to me. Mostly because they were uninteresting and whatnot.

EDIT: Oh, and sometimes because it's RP, and I wrapped up the story.

Does it count if you have closed, deleted, shamed or otherwise eviscerated threads with nifty mod/admin powers?

No, has to be from a hex-like occurrence.

Damn.

Well I sometimes fight hard to have the last word, especially in debate threads, so I guess yes.
