AIBU to feel like a thread killer?

I've lost count of the amount of threads I've commented on, with various usernames, that just stop after my comment.
Anyone else ??????

Yes of course. It happens to everyone who posts. It doesn't mean anything.

It means you've made the definitive comment, the best and final answer, nothing else needs to be said Wink .

Or at least, that's what I tell myself when my thread-slaying powers rear their head.

SD1978 · 25/02/2022 23:44

Meh. The thread has run it's course. Personally despise when people make threads to ask why no one replies to their threads juts so people can then acknowledge their existence.

Pixiedust1234 · 25/02/2022 23:45

Yes, me. It feels like a quarter of the threads I comment on die straight after. Sorry Sad

places a bet this one dies too

Oh, come on - you knew it couldn't possibly die if you said that! Grin

Whaddayuthnk · 25/02/2022 23:56

Same. Not sure if I give the definitive answer so nothing to add, or just that my comments are too boring for anyone to read so they just give up...

Me perhaps?

TyneTeas · 26/02/2022 00:28

When this was all fields, did we not used to have a special term/thread for thread killers...?

TyneTeas · 26/02/2022 00:32

Maybe something to do with ninjas perhaps?

too lazy to do searching

portal326 · 26/02/2022 00:33

@SD1978 Meeow! Did you mean to be so rude?

Damnloginpopup · 26/02/2022 00:44

Damn. Thought I might be the thread killer. Clearly not.

Yet..

Arabellla · 26/02/2022 01:27

There is a thread for people who feel they end threads….thread ninjas I think?

Anyway, OP, it’s not you.

OkPedro · 26/02/2022 01:31

Yup! Although I've commented on a few threads and the op seems to not see my answer but answers the people after me who say what I said 😂

JaneJeffer · 26/02/2022 01:44

Ha! I'll definitely get a reply to this then.

Superhanz · 26/02/2022 01:48

I never go back and check. I just comment and leave!

OkPedro · 26/02/2022 01:50

@JaneJeffer 👋👋

Twopenny · 26/02/2022 03:57

There's so many new threads each day, and obviously someone has to be the last person to post on all of them.

It's very kind of you to step up and do it Smile

SalsaLove · 26/02/2022 04:23

Same. Btw, ThreadKiller would be a great name if it hasn’t been taken already.

TheWitchersWife · 26/02/2022 04:34

It means you've made the definitive comment, the best and final answer, nothing else needs to be said wink .

This is what I tell myself, if you can't improve perfection, why bother?
So no more comments after mine.

politelywaiting · 26/02/2022 05:25

Do you post at a particular time, on certain topics? Eg if you post at 2am on a topic that most people talk about in the daytime (so not infant sleep!) maybe the others awake aren't interested to reply and then your threads drop off the most recent list by the morning so people don't see them as much? Or do you choose threads where everything to say has already been said?

SD1978 · 26/02/2022 08:43

@portal326 - to an extent, yes, not going to lie. Was a tad ruder than I had intended though. Just seen too many (in general) people who post to get validation. No one answers me ever- cue 400 people saying it's ok hun, we'll validate your pity party. I've been the last commenter on several threads- I can't say I see it as personal, just no one else was/ is interested. I don't see it or take it personally, cause it's strangers on the net. I'd like it if the thread had continued- would t have commented myself otherwise, but also don't think it's me if that doesn't happen.
