A more important question than who kills threads is how? So what is the most sure-fire way to kill a thread?

(Apart from the UR spam method - I'm looking for something creative here!)

Is their a way to see who posted the last post on a thread? It would make figuring this sort of thing much quicker.

I've done about 13 pages of inactive OT threads, and here is what I've found so far. Frankly, no surprises, except for AH at 1 thread killed. Top thread killer is Ming, with 20 threads squashed. Dissident is the best of the non-mod threadkillers so far.

Come on, it's Fez, hands-down. His inactivity isn't yet meaningful, as he disappeared for a while before and came back full-force. His ability to destroy any thread he touched was almost awe-inspiring. Not even AH can say every thread he posts in he kills.

So glad I'm appreciated on here for at least one thing, if not for my sense of humor.

Oh wait -- according to Apolyton consensus, I have no sense of humor. DOH!

Last post has nothing to do with being the threadkiller.

The last person to see the corpse is hardly ever the murderer. It's like saying the last guy to leave the wake is the killer.

From my experience I have to agree with Boris: no individual was better at ending discussion on the topic than Fez.

Any theories on our recent Fezlessness?

He posted a thread saying (yet again) that he was running away in tears and would never come back. He did this before when he was Giancarlo, though. I'd say give him a couple more months and he will be back.

And I had just thought he was on a very extended Mingcapulco trip.

Maybe he secretly lurks the halls
