What's the Deal? / Thread Killer

[baldburke]

This is a two part post.

What's the deal on the number of posts that come up under "new posts?" When I first came to Intercot it would be pages and pages at a time. Usually about a dozen or so and it seems like lately it's maybe one, but rarely more than three. Has Intercot changed their variables on what they consider a new post?

I mention this only because went I logged on to look at the new posts today it was only one page worth. So I did a search on my old posts because there were some threads I commented on recently and I wanted to see if there were any updates...and there weren't.

So it got me wondering if I was a thread killer. I looked at 200 of the most recent threads I was on and I'm last person on 23 of these or 11.5%. I guess that doesn't make me a thread killer?

Anyone else ever feel like a thread killer?

I understand the thread killer feeling. You are not alone. I have not reviewed my statistics on it, but I have felt that way before. I am glad to know I am not the only one....

Sorry you guys feel you are thread killers - I am sure that's not the case. The last 3-4 weeks things have been a little slower here. It's a good time to tell all your friends about INTERCOT and invite them to join in the discussion.

Leading up to Christmas, things do tend to get slower... people are planning their holidays and they tend to have less time. Things usually pick up in January when everyone starts thinking about going somewhere warm.

We haven't done anything from a site perspective that I can find that changes what generates that page.

That said, we're looking to upgrade the boards in January, and hopefully that will help (mobile enabled too) with any "glitch" you are seeing.

Please keep posting . It's not you!

Ok, so that John isn't the thread killer, I'll respond. I know what you mean about "thread killer" and have felt the same way.

[John]

Lol. Two can play at that game.

John! Love your picture. It's so life like, unlike this thread killing post.

Ha! Now everyone is getting in the act. My sons friend at Pratt Institute did it for me #graphicdesign

In 2009 it took 298 posts before Melaine was crowned Thread Killer, Princess of Death.

Figures Mel would be the killer queen

I could probably give her a run for the money....

Interesting...I didn't know about the other thread from 2009

Yep, that would be what - about 5 years ago...

I'm more of a lurker than a poster. In the past I've felt that my very infrequent posts have turned out to be thread-killers. Perhaps I could be crowned Thread-Killer Queen?

Not today!

Hmm. SO is this a competition now to see who can be last? Do we get a prize?

I might be able to kick something up in the prize closet

How many days of inactivity constitute thread killing?

[goofy for pluto]

Not sure why, but I'm pretty sure it's me.
I guess this thread is history now.

[missymouseworld]

Nope....

Awesome news John! Looking forward to that. Love the boards! Can't get enough Disney! Keep up the good work!

Yea, and all I can add is...

THIS ONE TIME - AT BAND CAMP...

Actually I never attended band camp. Not that there is anything wrong with it. Just not a talent I have.
