Re: Thread Killers Anonymous

I know what'll do it

*plants some magic beans and waters them with magic growth liquid*

Last time I did this (on another forum) it grew so large that I went on a long trek walking around it, and then it got so big that it broke through the walls of the thread into other threads. It took about six months to get that size though, so no need to panic. But on the other hand, that forum no longer exists, and it was a huge one with over a million posts.

Re: Thread Killers Anonymous

It became, as this one will probably become, a Huge Ever-Growing Pulsating Brain (HEGPB for short). The only way to stop it is to destroy the thread it's in.

Re: Thread Killers Anonymous

Or get some enthusiastic herbivores in here. The Chrons is full of carnivores, but are there many cows or sheep out there? And do centaurs count? (Don't say only up to ten as they don't have human toes.)

Re: Thread Killers Anonymous

So this is what it's come to?*Sigh* I left my thread-killing tools at home and since there's no leaving Chrons. Oh Well. This will have to do.

Die Thread. Die.

There. I hope you people are happy now :P

Re: Thread Killers Anonymous

Dunno if something that simple would work. With the old one we tried all sorts, even a nuclear bomb eventually.

Re: Thread Killers Anonymous

Come on TheManager - you're a cat: you'd play with the thread if you were going to kill it.

Re: Thread Killers Anonymous

See that's the thing. Something to complex and "The Thread" will see it coming. Something simple like this will definitely work. You'll see......give it time.

That wasn't quite the sort of enthusiasm I was looking for.

Re: Thread Killers Anonymous

More likely your attempt would leave you as dead, cooked meat, which Hoopy would studiously not eat.

Re: Thread Killers Anonymous

You get enthusiasm for everything from me

And absolutely not, I'm not made of vegetables, am I!

And yes, that too, I'm not going to let myself be eaten...
