"/thread" Meaningful?

[ethaninja]

I honsetly don't the point of /thread. What does it mean?

WHA you can't figure it out, it means "end of thread"

Cheers, it's been bugging me for ages. I mean, I'd get it if it was instead though.

 

[Plurralbles]

i want a mod to come in and comment /thread then lock the thread
that would make my day

unfortunately, the mods aren't assholes. : ) Thank you mods for not being jerks and closing threads simply becuase you don't agree with them or just want to be funny. I'm glad you take your job seriously.

Edit: At least, anytime other than April 1st.

It's just a silly joking fun. Stop being an ass.

Pretty much what this guy said, no need to get bitchy about it.

 

[AWDMANOUT]

Because, simply put, everybody that has ever written anything on the internet sees themself as the utmost authority on something, or else they just have to put their two cents in.

I mean come on. It's ridiculous.

/thread

^.^

 

[Klarinette]

Heeeee!! I was going to whine about this earlier. There was a thread about questions you've always wanted the answers to, and I was going to ask why every smartass who makes a semi-witty remark assumes that his comment ends the thread.

 

[Sikachu]

I find it arrogant when someone writes it at the end of their own post, but if you quote someone and say it then I don't see a problem.

Its just a word. Stop being irritated by it and grow a thicker skin.

/thread

 

[Bourne]

you're all so fucking witty.

You should have seen that coming, the internet is populated with narcissists with delusions of grandeur who seem to assume the things they post are somehow original, engaging, or funny.

Things like "/thread" will eventually burn out and be replaced, much like lolcats, the orl owls, mock motivational graphics, and all other internet forum trends. For all their eccentricities, moments of rejection, and transgressions, geeks and nerds are just like everyone else: they follow the pack, and have the attention span of a retarded chimp.

 

[e2density]

It's for people to pretend they have the power to end a thread with their opinion (which very few people care to read.)

 

[ottenni]

Of course its not meaningful. We all know a thread isn't over until a comparison to Hitler is made.

 

[UberNoodle]

/Thread is just an adaptation of "'nuff said" or "end of discussion" or whatever. It vey rarely actually IS the end of the discussion, but the people that use it aren't interested in discussion anyway. It is a self defense mechanism for the communication inept.

 

[cptRazz]

I dont find itt annoying at all

/thread

 

[Kajt]

It's slightly annoying, usually I just ignore those posts.

I agree

/thread

Badum tish.

 

[reg42]

It's really not all that bad, and not a lot of people say it very often.

[sub]/thread[/sub]

 

[Halceon]

What is "thead" anyway?

/thread

Basically a dickish way to say this is the end of the thread

Thank you for missing the point.

 

[thylasos]

I don't see anything particularly annoying about it, compared to other short-form statements of approval for a post.

 

[Tharwen]

It means 'my post is better than everyone else's'. What's to like about that?

 

[Cabisco]

Yes. It's just a bit annoying when somebody does it to someone else's post. When people do it to their own posts it's just extremely obnoxious.

I'd agree, all in all it makes whoever does it sound arrogant and narrowminded. It's never later in on a thread, it's like 4th post terrority where someone swoops in, types four words then /thread after. It's a trend I would be quite happy to see die.

Also, You totally need to get a blue bird going on as each time I see your avatar I think about how fucking awesome it would look.

Yeah, somebody's said that to me before. Actually, it might have been you. And yes, a blue bird would be awesome.

I have indeed mentioned it once, i believe it was when we discussed one of your reviews and it just came up at the epicness of the bird avatar. Their is a group on the escapist called the E team, they might be able to help you, or at least point you in the right direction for getting a blue bird?
