Flush this question out

I wonder how quickly one could rid the screen of this thread, so it was flushed out of the New Answers lists altogther. I figure if each of us were to simultaneously revive the very first ever thread they started, this question could be flushed out of the system in, say, two list updates.

― James Watsby, Thursday, 9 June 2005 12:25 (twenty years ago)

ahhhh meta thread.

― AaronK (AaronK), Thursday, 9 June 2005 12:30 (twenty years ago)

Well first you'd have to get people to stop responding to this thread.

― n/a (Nick A.), Thursday, 9 June 2005 13:15 (twenty years ago)

Like I'm doing right now.

― n/a (Nick A.), Thursday, 9 June 2005 13:15 (twenty years ago)

Right...now.

― n/a (Nick A.), Thursday, 9 June 2005 13:15 (twenty years ago)

It's still sticking around my friend.

― Chewshabadoo (Chewshabadoo), Thursday, 9 June 2005 13:43 (twenty years ago)

...And that's why we don't eat ice cream in the car.

― Huk-L, Thursday, 9 June 2005 13:46 (twenty years ago)

So wait! .. are we suposed to respond to this thread or not? Seems like we shouldn't .. but the rules need to be more clear.

Ssshh ;-)

― James Watsby, Thursday, 9 June 2005 13:53 (twenty years ago)

we shouldnt.

― AaronK (AaronK), Thursday, 9 June 2005 13:55 (twenty years ago)

starting with the end of this sentence

― AaronK (AaronK), Thursday, 9 June 2005 13:56 (twenty years ago)

Wait. Oh, I see. OK, nevermind.

― geyser muffler and a quarter (Dave225), Thursday, 9 June 2005 13:59 (twenty years ago)

is it out yet?

― ken c (ken c), Thursday, 9 June 2005 13:59 (twenty years ago)

nope.

― AaronK (AaronK), Thursday, 9 June 2005 14:07 (twenty years ago)

Aaron, maybe you should signal again when we should stop posting to this thread. I think we're ready now.

― geyser muffler and a quarter (Dave225), Thursday, 9 June 2005 14:26 (twenty years ago)

Oh, OK. Let's see how long it takes for my question to get flushed out from NOW.

Cheers.

― James Watsby, Thursday, 9 June 2005 14:31 (twenty years ago)

Is it working?

...Oh damn. Sorry!

― The Ghost of Dan Perry (Dan Perry), Thursday, 9 June 2005 14:33 (twenty years ago)

So this is like negative thread pachinko?

― Tuomas (Tuomas), Thursday, 9 June 2005 14:34 (twenty years ago)

Now come on!

― geyser muffler and a quarter (Dave225), Thursday, 9 June 2005 14:35 (twenty years ago)

I just revived my first thread!!!!!!!!

― dog latin (dog latin), Thursday, 9 June 2005 14:43 (twenty years ago)

Xpost

OK, it's obvious it ain't going to work. It was just meant to be an experiment - a rapid flush question, detoxifying the board.

― James Watsby, Thursday, 9 June 2005 14:45 (twenty years ago)

I think in this madcap, fast-paced world, we need to learn to stop and smell the roses.

― n/a (Nick A.), Thursday, 9 June 2005 14:47 (twenty years ago)

Quite.

Shall we try one more time? No silly buggers this time.

Now.. FLUSH!

― James Watsby, Thursday, 9 June 2005 14:53 (twenty years ago)

So? How long did it take?

― geyser muffler and a quarter (Dave225), Friday, 10 June 2005 11:11 (twenty years ago)

I've got a feeling that this thread is doomed to failure.

― caitlin (caitlin), Friday, 10 June 2005 11:17 (twenty years ago)

No it isn't!

Oops.

― The Ghost of Dan Perry (Dan Perry), Friday, 10 June 2005 11:48 (twenty years ago)

Huk-L OTM.

― n/a (Nick A.), Friday, 10 June 2005 14:52 (twenty years ago)

why is this still here?

― ken c (ken c), Friday, 10 June 2005 15:35 (twenty years ago)

Can I check whether I'm supposed to be posting to this or not? I'm a bit confused, but I am always keen to help.

― Martin Skidmore (Martin Skidmore), Friday, 10 June 2005 22:46 (twenty years ago)

it really should have been titled "servng tureens" or "wilco: new album?"

― Tracer Hand (tracerhand), Friday, 10 June 2005 23:59 (twenty years ago)

I predict this thread will set a record for staying on the New Answers the longest, and surpass Dave Matthews Band Bad & Hated for number of posts. Either that, or I just killed the thread.

― wetmink (wetmink), Saturday, 11 June 2005 00:04 (twenty years ago)

I predict that nothing exciting will happen and this thread will be revived in about a month by a random googler searching for nude pictures (pics, pix) of Beyonce (Knowles, Destiny's Child, Destinys Child).

I thought this was gonna be a toilet-humor thread.

― Rickey Wright (Rrrickey), Saturday, 11 June 2005 00:17 (twenty years ago)

I figured this would have been flushed by now, but y'all keep posting and bumping it back up to the top.

― geyser muffler and a quarter (Dave225), Saturday, 11 June 2005 02:30 (twenty years ago)

how quickly one could rid the screen of this thread

OMG! I changed the resolution of my display to 800x600 and this question wasn't on screen anymore! And it was like a lot more quicklier than your revivification method! /me R00LZ K THX BYE!

― StanM, Saturday, 11 June 2005 06:42 (twenty years ago)

Oh. Er... Sorry.

― StanM, Saturday, 11 June 2005 06:42 (twenty years ago)

So this is like negative thread pachinko?

-- Tuomas

It's a variant of sorts. In my view, Thread Pachinko is royal tennis to Flushout's modern tennis.

― moley, Saturday, 11 June 2005 07:56 (twenty years ago)

Look, it doesn't take that much effort to figure this out: we're all supposed to stop posting. No posts at all on this thread. It's not complicated. How dumb can you people be not to get it? Why are you still posting?

― Martin Skidmore (Martin Skidmore), Saturday, 11 June 2005 10:03 (twenty years ago)

I mean, is it really too hard for you to understand?

― Martin Skidmore (Martin Skidmore), Saturday, 11 June 2005 10:03 (twenty years ago)

I don't know, it's been an hour, and NO ONE shows up to say they understand. If only anyone else here were as smart as I am.

― Martin Skidmore (Martin Skidmore), Saturday, 11 June 2005 11:03 (twenty years ago)

I think I get it. It's just that it wasn't clear everyone kept posting. And I thought that meant I was supposed to too.

― geyser muffler and a quarter (Dave225), Saturday, 11 June 2005 11:37 (twenty years ago)

Given the bloodymindedness of most ILX users, I'm betting that this thread will break a new record for "longest time spent on the New Answers page".

― caitlin (caitlin), Saturday, 11 June 2005 11:48 (twenty years ago)

Caitlin's right. This question is unflushable!

It's getting near the bottom of New Answers now, so I thought I should alert everyone so we can watch for the precise moment it falls off. Any minute, I calculate.

― Martin Skidmore (Martin Skidmore), Sunday, 12 June 2005 07:49 (twenty years ago)

I missed this thread yesterday. What was the point of it again?

not that I really care, just thought I should post something.

― wetmink (wetmink), Monday, 13 June 2005 06:03 (twenty years ago)

But why did you have to post something? Why post anything? Why call it anything?

Right. So we're supposed to post to this thread. Right?

― mark grout (mark grout), Monday, 13 June 2005 12:45 (twenty years ago)

No, that's the point mark.. We're not supposed to post to this thread. At least that's my interpretation. Correct me if I'm wrong.

This thread always reminds me of an old nursing story of my wife's. I can't recall a lot of the detail, but it did involve her trying to flush out a huge big plop that was in the toilet of one of the private rooms she was attending too. Anyhow, it allegedly took about fifteen attempts, three nursing staff and several vases full of water before they finally managed to flush the bugger out. Then she finished what she was doing and moved on to the patient in the next room along, only to find... yep, that's right...

eventally you're going to have to start a "Flush this question out - Thread Two"

I bet Thread Two gets flushed first.

― aldo_cowpat (aldo_cowpat), Wednesday, 22 June 2005 08:13 (twenty years ago)

Well, then wouldn't that one be the more successful?

― mark grout (mark grout), Wednesday, 22 June 2005 08:15 (twenty years ago)

I reckon you'd end up with more "Flush" threads than "Happy Birthday Random ILXOR" ones in New Answers.
