testing

~~John Wilkes Booth~~ · 07-17-2015, 04:53 AM

just curious if it's even possible to make a thread that doesn't get multiple pages of responses on this forum (without having a mod close it or move it to editors pick/a less active part of the forum or some other subversive tactic like that)

so in making this initial post i am being careful not to say anything that could possibly spark any discussion

call this a test of the forum's collective willpower

good luck my friends

I disagree with your contention that is a testing thread. It's also unfair to condemn it to isolation: what sort of a monster are you??

You or someone else has done this before, it didn't work then, prolly won't work now. Just like the thread asking everyone to make fun of you didn't work.

This isn't a very good test. People are going to post specifically because you told them not to, which will skew your results. Like I just did.

A hospital room sets the scene. John Wilkes Booth is lying on a bed, heavily sedated, dying of cancer. The year is 2061. Suddenly, I come rushing in.

JWB: who's that? isblark, is that you?
Me: 'Sup.
JWB: nothing much, dying of cancer, and you?
Me: Came here to comfort you, and congratulate you.
JWB: for what
Me: The experiment you started way back in 2015.
JWB: what, the musicbanter one?
Me: Yeah. It actually worked, congrats.
JWB: thanks
Me: ...or so you thought!

I pull my phone out of my pocket, open the web browser, and show a page well-known to both of us. On the screen is the "Reply to Thread"-page, with an already-written comment in the text field.

JWB: what are you doing
Me: Being a dick, that's what.

I press the "Submit Reply"-button, then show the phone to JWB. It's his thread. Untouched for 46 years, it has now been bumped by a reply containing merely one word: "rekt".

You'd do that to a dying man? You, sir, are scum.
