The Self Referential Thread

[kurchatovium]

Certainly it is the longest thread there has ever been on the TMF. 😀 😛

Yes it humbly started over 6 years ago on December 26, 2002. 😀 😛

It grew very nicely but was pruned in December 2004. 😱
It's more than grown back since. 😀 😛

Quite true. 🙂 I think over 400 pages were pruned from it. So it has indeed grown back nicely. 🙂

That was its darkest moment, the pruning of December 2004. Some threads never recovered from that. 😱

What a lot of people dont know was that I think every silly thread not on the first page was just cut if I remember. Those on the first page were pruned. Had no one posted in this thread on that day it might have been cut. 😱

Mils will do it.

HDS was the one who saved it I believe. He is the first person who posted after the pruning. Though it could be the person who did post that day had that post pruned as well.

😀 😛

 

[milagros317]

I don't want to be pruned

On the relevant evening, December 16, 2004, besides THE THREAD himself seen above, the people posting were me, HDS, and Kurch. 😀 😛

 

[General Zod]

HDS was the one who saved it I believe. 😀

I miss having him post here 😀 😛

 

[milagros317]

Yes, HDS should come here more often. 😀 😛

 

[Helena]
