Can a thread ever die?

doubleshuffle · 06-10-2015, 05:34 PM

Wouldn't it have to be dead for someone to necropost in it?

eschwartz · 06-10-2015, 07:20 PM

Wasn't this thread already presumed dead -- until it turned out it wasn't? And what makes anyone think it might be different this time around.

Anyway, doesn't it take longer than a measly month or even two, for a thread to die?

pdurrant · 06-11-2015, 04:35 AM

Is a thread dead when all of its participants are no longer members?

eschwartz · 06-11-2015, 12:22 PM

What are the chances of that happening? You think maybe all thread participants will be banned for asking troublesome questions?

pdurrant · 06-11-2015, 01:50 PM

Have you been banned from the thread?

eschwartz · 06-11-2015, 02:06 PM

No, have you?

Can an admin-level moderator be banned anyway? Surely you at the very least would keep this thread alive forever?

pdurrant · 06-11-2015, 05:54 PM

Why would I want to do that?

eschwartz · 06-11-2015, 06:08 PM

Keep the thread alive?

Surely you see the impossibility of the thread dying (by your metric) if a moderator is or was a participant?

doubleshuffle · 06-11-2015, 06:22 PM

But what if the participating moderamouse got sliced up in a splatterfest going down in another thread?

eschwartz · 06-11-2015, 07:20 PM

Which thread would that be?

Solitaire1 · 06-12-2015, 01:06 PM

Wouldn't that be the "Last Post Wins" thread?

eschwartz · 06-12-2015, 01:43 PM

Is it really?

Have I seen that thread before? Must be, or why is it in my ignore list???

Is that it Mouse? Did you die, leaving the thread finally able to die as well... assuming a number of other unlikely things happens?

Solitaire1 · 06-12-2015, 02:36 PM

Could the mouse have regenerated? Could the mouse actually be from Gallifrey? Is there more to the mouse than we've been told? Could the mouse be on his last regeneration?

PandathePanda · 06-12-2015, 04:13 PM

Did the mouse look into the Eye of Harmony on Galiffrey?
