I was thinking that we would have a bit of fun on out forums, and start a "Longest Thread Competition"

The idea is that you start a thread on your site called "The Longest Thread in History" like I have done here, and then try and make it longer than anyone else?s forums longest thread (if you know what I mean).

The topic of the thread is open to what anyone wants to talk about, for example we have played word games, asked random questions, discussed the weather, and just had a really good time.

I guess that because this is not going to be anything more than a bit of fun, we only need a few rules, but here they are:

1, The longest thread must be a new thread started when you enter the competition.
2, The thread must be named "The Longest Thread in History".
3, once you have started your thread, you must post a link to it here.
4, the competition starts as soon as you post your link.
5, You can talk about whatever you want but dont post short messages only like smilies or "k".
6, the competition ends in one month - 4th March 2002, (so you had better enter quick)

Now I fully admit that I've got a bit of a head start on you guys, but my forum is so small that it would be EASY for you guys to catch up with me, and just think of the appraisal when you over take the guy that started this competition.

Now after all, this is nothing more than a bit of fun, so there will be no prizes other than an announcement on my forum stated that you have won (I personally will not be entering the competition because I?ll be moderating it)

And remember, as they used to say on The Big Breakfast, "Don't phone in, it's just for fun".

On your marks, Get set, GO!!

*renames thread* Start posting people. ;)

Tut tut tut, that's just cheating, but i'll let you off.

good luck to both of you, and anyone else that wants to join the competition.

Cool Idea!

The Longest Thread In History at the Simpsons Board. :D We are small, but we will play and try!

lol, you guys don't want me to participate,

we have something like that, but its calles, the 2000 post war

lol

Psychdrone, yours is only 27 pages long... this is currently 57 pages long. :)

Heh, nice threadid (404). :)

To both Psychdrone and Mark Hensler, you can't join this competition unless you start new threads called "The Longest Thread in History", althuogh I did see both your threads, and they where very impressive :)

*cough* This Page is currently 425 pages long. :D

Here we go:

The Longest Thread In History @ The Various Elements Board :D

I've just added a new rule to the rules list, just to make this game a little fairer.

5, You can talk about whatever you want but dont post short messages only like smilies or "k".

my users have started something like that by themself. Our longest thread has about 15000 replies.
See it here (beware, its german *g*):

This thread has started on 11/20/2001 and it still grows.

I'm excited if someone will beat this community ;)

Oh my god!!!!!!! 609 pages!!!! LOL!!! Now that's impressive!! O_O

yes, 609 is good, I would be happy with 10 LOL

bah, my site is no comparison ;) continue fighting people :p

and there are 25 posts per page, not the default value of 15.

Hi ace, I can't find the thread on your site, can you provide us with a link directly to it please? Thanx :)

lez go :D

Oops. I only joined because I thought we were making the SHORTEST thread in history. At least there I'd have a change. Anyway, every woman I've ever known says it's not how long it is...

Then again, maybe it's me. :)

Stretchr, I would not worry too much, all of these old threads are not going to be included in the competition, only new ones started at the time of entry, so you don't have to worry too much.

Just give it your best shot, maybe you should email all your members and ask them to come along and help out, it might even help generate more threads on other parts of the board.

anyway, good luck :)

LOL. Yeah, I'll try that. We're an awfully new board anyway. It's just for fun so we'll play along. Kind of interesting visiting the other boards since there are some really good, active communities out there. I'll enjoy joining some of them and participating in their content, so nothing lost and lots gained. Best of luck to everyone! :D

I have a "fastest dying thread" on our forum thats about 1000 posts long, and still growing hehe

This thread has 46,500+ replies....2327 pages, 20 replies per page :eek:

*hangs head in shame

damnnnnnnn you guys really out did me, lol!

*cheers!

Well, i'm happy to announce that on my site, my thread has reached 10 pages (my original target) in just under 2 months, i've challenged all my users to make it up to 20 within the next month (it's a shame i'm not entering the competition :))

Good golly!

:o Miss Molly!

No, adding old threads are not allowed, however you could close that thread, telling everyone to go to the new one, and once the competition is over, and i've had a chance to count all the entries, you could then merge the two threads togther :)

my entry into the compo...

please register and post :D

nope sorry boys, the longest thread ever in history was the 40+ page monster we made flashkit, and them pope de flash deleted it! or was it his thread and someone else deleted it.... anyways it was HUGE, there is another monster on there, im looking for it.

TRAVS NEW OFFICIAL WORLDS LONGEST THREAD - 1303 replies
Started by Pope de Flash with 66 pages
http://board.flashkit.com/board/show...hreadid=195573

The little 404 thread at SB is slowly gaining! We are at three pages in two days (not posting one word or smilie only posts). :D Finally an official thread for spam!!! *lol*

FireFly - I thought the 404 was a bit unusual, too. *lol*

2300+ Pages - WOW

The most I have on my boards is 139 replies (but we shut it down as it was growing into a pi$$ing contest :stupid: ...


OK - I just started one up from scratch For The Longest Thread - wish us luck :D

Welp, I'll add mine to the mix. You want to see some spammers.. try keeping a VERY civil board, flame free and then tell my users to get crazy in one thread :)

Here ya go!

The Longest Thread in the World

I'll enter: Longest thread in history@PlatinumGamers

Despite the fact my board is new...it still moves FAST..sort of

Quickie - Daniel - This thread is being counted as vb.org's longest thread, right? And you are getting all the information from contestants (participants) out of the same thread, right? So, can we still fill this thread with spam to help out vb.org? :D Not that I want this forum to win, since I'm entering myself. *lol* But just curious.
