I'm sorry.

To quote one of the more well read and intelligent (as well as handsome) forum users:
--- Quote ---To elaborate, here is a question from one of my loyal readers:
"Dear Tyler, when is a good time to let a thread die? -Timmy"
"Good question, little Timmy. Threads often take differing amount of times to run their course. Some are derailed and useless immediately, whereas others others may go on for hundreds of contributions and remain interesting to read. Others should have been killed before the OP hit the 'Post' button. Here are some basic questions to go by to decide if a thread should be left alone:
Is this thread still on topic, or at least on a side topic of interest still related to the main one? If not, you should not add posts to this thread.
Is what I wish to post already said in this thread, and will my addition add any value to the thread when others read it? Make sure that concurring posts do add some sort of benefit before you add them.
Is the topic of this thread even one that should have been created? Just because a thread exists, does not mean one has to post in it. Postcount quality is far more important than quantity.
Could what I wish to add truly be more useful in a separate post, or conversely, is the thread I am about to create already in existence? Try to avoid repeat threads. The search function can do wonders in this regard.
Is this thread a spoof thread? Often times threads will be made to poke fun of others, as occurs often in the Music section. These threads often were not meant to have a point aside from the topic line, and should generally be left as is.
Did this thread have a specific lifespan? (e.g. a birthday thread, or a drunken Jeph thread) Belated birthday wishes are more than ok, however, some threads should be allowed to rest in peace once they are past their time frame.
Remember these tips, and your post quality and the quality of these boards can only increase. Also keep in mind, if you are new, it may not be the best idea to create many threads, or make too many personal comments about other boarders. Some people have been friends here since before Kriss Kross made you jump jump, and are comfortable enough with each other to make these comments. Ease into the boards, make strong posts, and you soon will find yourself well integrated into the community.
Thanks Timmy!"

qtownstegy:
We is sorry we is lazy bastards.
But seriously, I was debating just leaving these threads because it wasn't entertaining anymore.
Hopefully I will not have to leave now. I enjoy welcoming new people in different ways and then sending them on their way, NOT POSTING 20 TIMES IN ONE THREAD ABOUT NOTHING AND THINKING IT'S THE FUNNIEST THING EVER!!

BK and qtown, you are fighting the good fight.
