However, I do know that this message board's longest thread is one of message board members here rallying to help an Australian: viewtopic.php?f=1&t=51063&st=0&sk=t&sd=a
That thread is still active, by the way. I think if there was an overriding prejudice against Australians on this message board, that our biggest and currently most popular thread would not be an Aussie thread.
Although that number might be artificially inflated by one or two posters rereading the same mierda q2min.
In terms of participants, this thread also has the lead:
posting.php?mode=who_posted&t=52845&f=1
posting.php?mode=who_posted&t=51063&f=1
especially when you consider that 6 of the posters in TBT are the same person.

Good friend Mars, You have way too much time on your hands. Get out and enjoy life. Spend that $1477 you hoarded in the first post. Don't worry about the beer (nonalcoholic) next year - I will pay for all of it when I get there.mars wrote:Hello Everybody,
This is your reporter Jimmy Olsen talking to CpapTalk's first View Per Hour Award winner - Mars. The prize will be presented to him in person by Muffy, whose projected personal appearance is causing more excitement than the award itself. The presentation will take place at the George R Brown Convention Center on June 31st 2010 at 2pm. A buffet lunch will be provided for CpapTalk members and their families.
I have it on good authority that Mars will be wearing his Bailey Premier Hat. He says it reminds him of the time he spent in Brownsville, where he was on a pilgrimage to the place where Bill Haley died. Little did he know that when he left Brownsville for Houston to continue his journey across America, he would be returning in 2010 to receive the CpapTalk Views Per Hour Award.
I found Mars in a small cave in the Martian hills, surrounded by old bikes and other rubbish.
He was singing a song to himself as I entered -

and I suspect I saw a couple of tears streaming down his cheeks. But he warmly welcomed me, and invited me to sit down on the floor. There were 2 chairs, but Mars explained that they were for the cats, not visitors. Here is an edited transcript of our conversation -
Jimmy Olsen "What were your first thoughts when you learned you had won CpapTalk's first View Per Hour Award"
Mars "I was overwhelmed, this is the first award I have had given to me since the anonymous award of "most difficult poster to get along with on CpapTalk.com". I am grateful to everyone who made it possible, especially those who annoyed others, therefore inviting them to reply"
Jimmy Olsen "Some Forum members think you manipulated the whole thread to produce that result, and that you cheated"
Mars "Yes, I know that one or two said that, but I am not that devious or bright. You have to look for those with long time authority to get that kind of result"
Jimmy Olsen "What were your favourite aspects of the thread"
Mars "The beautiful cats of course. But even they were not powerful enough to put the thread back on track"
Jimmy Olsen "And what track would that be, Mars"
Mars "Any track that did not require a belaboured response by me"
Jimmy Olsen "But why keep on responding if you do not want to?"
Mars "It's all about the lies. The lies I say they tell, and the lies they say I tell. The only thing I can do is respond. And with men it is particularly difficult not to respond, given that most of us are ego driven. Of course, I really don't tell lies, as we well know"
Jimmy Olsen "Then what can you do"
Mars "Fortunately I am well on my way to achieving sublime humility, which will eventually shine forth for all to see. You really should have seen some of the earlier threads I was in"
Jimmy Olsen "Do you think the thread actually achieved anything"
Mars "Well, I think that outing five Trolls in one thread is pretty good going. And we all know pretty much know where we (and others) stand now. I know I do, in this cave with my cats"
Jimmy Olsen "But does that help the harmony of the Forum"
Mars "Not immediately, but as we learn who can be trusted, and who can not, then we can send love to those we do not trust, in the hope that they will have a change of heart"
Jimmy Olsen "Isn't that a bit lovey-dovey for you?"
Mars "Only if you believe me"
Jimmy Olsen "You mention Lurkers a few times. What was the point of that"
Mars "From a Troll point of view probably none. But Lurkers are learning that Trolls can be beaten, and I hope that will encourage them to post when they want to"
Jimmy Olsen "Many people wonder why you get so uptight when others try to point out the error's in your posts"
Mars "Thats the old fight or flight response, which I still have. At my age running away is difficult, even with my bike. So I have to stay and fight.
Jimmy Olsen "Who was the most annoying poster"
Mars "You chose, there were so many. All terribly well meaning of course"
Jimmy Olsen "I'll put it another way, which poster caused you the most trouble"
Mars "Well, that has to be me of course. I have noticed that in every thread that I get into trouble, I am the common denominator. So I really cannot blame anyone else"
Jimmy Olsen "And who was your favourite poster"
Mars " (Edited Out) , without a doubt. If (Edited Out) is against what I say, I know I must be right.
Jimmy Olsen "Was there anything disappointing about the thread"
Mars "Not the thread. I think there were a few disappointing surprises for a few people, including me. But there was something else"
Jimmy Olsen "And what is that"
Mars "I will tell you. Muffy says the thread also had the most participants, so I don't see why I shouldn't get an award for that as well. Manipulating all those members was pretty hard work"
Jimmy Olsen "What was the worst part of the thread for you"
Mars "When I was continually tempted by booze and women, knowing that as an addict I had to stay away. I have spent the last few days having a cold shower every time one of those posts turned up. And it has been cold enough to freeze my balls off".
Jimmy Olsen "Would you do it again?"
Mars "Once your balls have been frozen off they do not come back"
Jimmy Olsen "No, I mean would you do the tooth post again?"
Mars "A Feel-good post is always personal, and those who do not like you are not going to be happy about it. But by posting, they give their agenda away. Then we can all send good feelings to them so they can change more easily"
Jimmy Olsen "What is this good feelings stuff you talk about"
Mars "Every now and then I get then I get the urge to be politically correct. Just then was one of those moments"
Jimmy Olsen "I will of course edit out all Forum names, but are you sure all this is for publication. Some people might not understand what you are doing."
Mars "That is a risk we take every time we post. At least the Tooth Fairy is on my side"
Jimmy Olsen "And one final question - what advice would you give to an aspiring CpapTalk View Per Hour winner"
Mars "First of all, under no circumstances read any of the posts. After each post has arrived you must post a picture of a cat, and every now and then post 8 laughing smiley's. And when you think you have the numbers, give Muffy a PM.
As I looked around the cave I could see that the cats were getting restless, and that Mars had started singing to himself again
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IJk5InZ2yZU
I slowly crept out of the cave, leaving this strange cave dweller and his cats, and started to dream a little myself. Where next would my boss in Houston send me, who next would I interview. Perhaps it would be................................

Me too...did you catch the address? Although those singing children are adorable (I can't decide on which is cuter: Two Front Teeth or Kumbaya) I doubt they can save this thread if kittens, Frauleinen and beer can't.DreamOn wrote:Good one, Mars!
