If you stop killing it it will stay dead. It's like a paradox!  EDIT October 19: By the way, it does look like I am currently winning. |

It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single topic in possession of a good four pages, must be in want of a murderer.

Because you're not stabbing it. *stabbystabstab*

Today, this topic was considered a topic that was to be dead. We have gathered here today to mourn the passing of this thread, and to wonder where we got a doctor who was able to diagnose the living state of threads, and, indeed, how that state is determined. It is a very complicated process, as far as I am aware. It involves complex calculations of the thread's age, the thread's lack of activity, and the thread's overall boringness and text differential. The thread was a good thread. It was once a very lively and active thread. There were lots of cheerful stabbings and delightful killings. Alas, however, one day someone posted a textwall of magnificent proportions, and everyone was so awestruck by its length that they could not think of a way to follow it up. That, or everyone was forced into a state of ennui by the dryness and the sheer size of the aforementioned textwall. It is an insurmountable wall of words, a Great Wall of the NTWF, with no paragraph breaks, nor any sense of structure or meaning. Who would continue to post after an effort such as this? Wherefore wouldst a forumer take it upon herself to create such a massive block of glyphs as this? One must wonder what that girl may have as thoughts within her brain, such that she may choose to carry out an action such as this action, such that she may choose to create a postage such as this, and by which I do not mean a postage like a package which may be posted in the post office with a postage stamp or three, but a postage that may be posted on a certain thread within a certain forum. Not that postings in threads are specific to a specific forum. Many forums happen to have postages and threads and messaging systems similar to these. It is, in fact, nearly ubiquitous among forums. Where did these forums come from? One must first consider the origin of the Internet. Where did the Internet come from? Well, there are numerous legends, such as that of the series of tubes that were once clogged by the enormous dump truck’s contents, and the former Presidential candidate and environmental advocate Al Gore, who was a falsely purported creator of the aforementioned Internet. (It should be clarified at this point that Al Gore is not a former environmental advocate, but merely a former Presidential candidate. This is the pitfall of ambiguous wording. All children and adults who use language in any form ought to be aware of this terrible danger. It is a threat to people everywhere. It is not a thread, as the person typing this originally typed, entirely by accident. It is a threat, like the threats cited by Stephen Colbert in his regular news program. He has also included bears on this list. Bears and misuse of language are approximately equal in threat level. Misspelling “threat” as “thread” is also very high in threat level. This particular mistake or misspelling could create a dangerous misunderstanding. Suppose one is attempting to warn another person of a threat in a particular area, but he or she or it or another pronoun warns that person of a thread, instead. That person is liable to think that a thread is not much of a threat at all, or assume that the first person was simply informing him or her or it or another pronoun of a simple curiosity that may be interesting to investigate. Then that person may end up in severe danger, due to the threat that he or she or it believed to be a thread. This danger is extremely likely to be extremely severe, and one should attempt to eradicate it from his or her or its communication as swiftly as possible. But I digress. Let us return to the topic at hand, which was, first, the grave death of this thread, and second, or perhaps third or fourth or fifth, the creation of the Internet.) But there are so many rumors surrounding the creation of the Internet, that it is nearly impossible discern what might have been the true beginning. It could very well have been created as the planets were created, either by a deity of some description or in a swirling mix of stardust orbiting the Sun that we now see in the sky every day. It is nearly impossible to tell. Just as it is nearly impossible to tell what, exactly, about this thread caused it to die. Even the possibility that it is dead is not a certain one. However, it is nearly as certain as it is possible to be. It has been inactive for many hours now, and any forum thread that has been inactive for that long is likely to have abandoned its life. That is that. It was a good thread, and there is nothing that can be done to bring it back to life. Nobody will miss this thread, which is a sad, tragic, and ironic fact. This thread will return to dust, and dust will be dust, as well. Now I must leave this thread to its peace, and I hope that you will, all, too. Farewell, all.
