Am I as invisible here as in real life? Grin

Wouldn't worry about being a threadkiller. I suspect we all are in our own eyes. Personally, I think it's the forum interface as ive been on many forums and never known one where threads die as quickly as they do here. I suspect the majority of people work primarily with the active conversations list and threads not on it are pretty much pissing into the wind.

PerkingFaintly · 28/07/2018 10:02

Ooh, I recognise your name, brizzledrizzle!

Can't remember why though.Blush Um, I have a vague idea I associate you with sensible posts that are usually worth reading?

Maybe I'm completely wrong and you usually start riotous threads about "And then she said my baby looked like a minger and tipped a fruit shoot over her."Grin

Cleaningthefours · 28/07/2018 10:02

I just AS you and there are hundreds of posts where people are interacting with you. Loads and loads.

MissCharleyP · 28/07/2018 10:05

Maybe we should start a ‘threadkiller’ forum

YaLoVeras · 28/07/2018 10:08

It's funny, I often kill the thread too. It is like a little taunt when you see your ''threads I'm on'' with your name still at the top. And yet, if there's a contraversial discussion going on and I feel I have offered my wisdom, I think, well are we still discussing this? :-p read my post from yesterday at 16.32 fgs,

;-)

cafenoirbiscuit · 28/07/2018 10:10

Me too ! Once or twice I’ve been in desperate need of support and advice and my post has been largely ignored. I reply to things but don’t start threads any more 😢

ElevenSmiles · 28/07/2018 10:11

Be proud Brizzle, just think of it as a super power.

LyingWitchInTheWardrobe2726 · 28/07/2018 10:16

Hello there, brizzle and the other thread-killers. Grin

I've been here for years and have started maybe 5 threads? I post on other people's threads a lot but I'm not really brave enough to start them - so you're doing better than I am!

Brahumbug · 28/07/2018 10:20

Most of my posts are ignored and I feel a strange thrill if someone replies or comments on one, note to self, must get a lifeGrin

kissbeforelippy · 28/07/2018 10:20

Another thread-killer here 😫😜

ElementalHalfLife · 28/07/2018 10:21

You're all wrong. I am the Chosen One (in every forum a Thread Killer is born, one poster in all the world....)

CaptainKirkssparetupee · 28/07/2018 10:21

Anyone want to have a go at answering some of the unanswered threads?

Get a sweary name Wink

eyeoresancerre · 28/07/2018 10:27

Thank goodness I've found my people. I kill all threads and I bet I do the same here so apologies in advance op when this goes off the boil.
Fab thread though.

ScreamingValenta · 28/07/2018 10:28

@CaptainKirkssparetupee I didn't know that existed! How do you navigate to it on the site/app?

MissionItsPossible · 28/07/2018 10:30

But I know what you're saying. My "I'm on" list consists of a lot of threads on which I am the last poster. Thread-killer on the loose.

This just about sums up my MN experience.Grin

Or, does anyone else get it where you say something which gets ignored and then a few pages later someone says the same thing and loads of people reply!?

ElenOfTheWays · 28/07/2018 10:31

Me too. In fact I'm placing a bet with myself that this is the last post on this thread. Grin

MissionItsPossible · 28/07/2018 10:31

@CaptainKirkssparetupee

I try. I don’t even get a response from the OP, let alone anybody else. I’m the thread killer. If we had avatars, I’d have mine as Ghostface from Scream.

MissionItsPossible · 28/07/2018 10:32

You lost, Elen Grin

ElenOfTheWays · 28/07/2018 10:34

Awwww nuts! Now I owe myself a tenner.

Serves me right for challenging you other fine thread killers.

PivotPivotPIVOTTT · 28/07/2018 10:34

Me too, I don't post very often but when I do and someone replied to me I feel like a celebrity Grin

With great difficulty.

On the desktop website by the big "talk" button, near the top at the left, there's a somewhat hidden drop down menu. It's in there.

I am a bit of a thread killer too... I have found my people!
