What is the most replies a single thread on DU has gotten?
and what thread was it? If this post isn't grammatically correct, I apologize in advance, I didn't quite know how to pose that question. So grammar mavens please don't attack.

2. There Was One That Had 1,400 or 1,500 Replies
An attempt to make the longest thread ever. It was finally locked because it took so long to open it on a dial-up connection.

3. "How quickly will this thread die?" iirc
Here's the link, but it's really a waste of time and bandwidth to open it.

5. The thread that would not die.
I think Skinner eventually locked it, blessed be his name.

8. I've always wanted to know what the most anyone posted before
being exposed as a disruptor. I am thinking it might have been someone who would not obey the rules, instead of a secret agent. (Hope this is an allowable question.) I wish there were ways to find out curiosity questions. For instance who invented the tombstone and when was it first introduced. I looked it up in the new service but only found an explanation of what it means, no other interesting tidbits.

10. I think that dubious award goes to Jiacinto, who had around 25,000 posts
under his belt before getting the axe for bashing Al Sharpton in Skinner's "Say something positive about Al Sharpton" thread during the primaries. Reading comprehension skills were never that boy's strong suit. He got such a high post total largely by starting one line trolling threads like "Do you know anything about Morocco?" and then replying to every single response in his thread, sometimes more than once, and sometimes replying to himself instead of editing his previous post :dunce:. Sometimes he'd actually get around to making a point 30 or 40 posts later on in the thread, but usually not.

Oddly enough, there's another thread about him going on in GD at the moment.

11. Around the election, there were people with thousands of posts
who "came out" as freepers and got tombstoned.

Why someone thinks they are being really smart and clever by spending a year or two year, and doubtless oucntless hundreds of hours, and then saying "HA HA Idiots! All this time I've been a freeper!", I'll never understand.

Just shows the stupidity level of freeps.

"Yeah, you just spend a thousand hours of posting time here just so you could call us stupid at the end of a year or two of it. Yeah, you're the genius."

14. Were there actually any real surprises? As in, I thought that
person had some good ideas some times? I totally agree with you, those folks wasted a great deal of time and if things had not gone their way, wonder what they would have done then?

13. That would be mine
I still owe chair some recognition for that.

I didn't even know until EarlG told me recently that it was the record holder.
