Thread killer

[bull]

Upon meeting other DC.com members in person much of what we discuss obviously turns toward this website. Among other things discussed, one interesting topic is thread killing; that inexplicable phenomenon where the discussion is moving right along and then a person posts something he feels is poignant and expects more discussion to come but instead the thread just dies. Or maybe what was said is so poignant and conclusive there's nothing more that needs to be said. I'm sure it's happened to all of us but I'm curious as to what causes it. Is it boredom, do people forget, was the last thing said so wise and thoughtful that nothing can be added or taken away? Or is there nothing worth discussing further?

The threads I usually kill are the ones I start, mostly because the loose ends are all tied up and it ends with a parting thought. But sometimes I'll start a thread and it heats up and I'm expecting some sort of conclusion but it will peter out with an actual question mark at the end that is never answered. I'm not trying to be derogatory toward the site or its members, I'm just genuinely curious.

So what is it? Is this thread dead already? Will I be the one to kill it? The last person to post here will get the blame.

[RECHRGD]

I think most threads that are a direct question just run their course until a solution is found.  Some may take 1 response and another may take 200.  I seem to lose interest in any thread once arguments get started and they degrade to a point not of interest to anyone.  Open ended threads that ask for thoughts or experiences will last as long as they stay somewhat on track, but once they get highjacked, I'm gone.....Bob

Interesting philosophical question. If you want a truthful answer I think it is because the thread has given its all, and there is nothing else to be added. If the original thread starter is an "outlier" on the bell curve of life (think on a recently suspended member), it can die pretty quick, except for the requisite accusations, recriminations and flaming. Technical questions usually are satisfactorily answered and then linked to if a similar question comes along. If it is an "off topic" thread it normally can go on for a long time as there are really no answers, but only opinions.

So, the only question remaining is have I sufficiently killed this topic?    I would say no....

Can't speak for all locked threads but I've seen cases where popular opinion is rebuked with unpopular opinion and innuendo is rebuked with outright declaration...then the catfight begins and the mods step in.

Unabated free speech isn't an inherent right on forums with rules that run counter to it.

This one isn't quite killed. http://www.dodgecharger.com/forum/index.php/topic,77753.0.html

Can it be explained?

So in 2003 you started dating Carla when you were 22 and she was 15.... In mid 2002 you wrote " I'm 21 and my love is 14 " and her name is Crissy.or Michelle. Is Crissy and Carla the same person? LMG ?    Is she Crissy?    Very confusing.

How?  Me (dob 1981), Crissy (dob 1981), LMG (dob 1988), CDC (dob 1987), AMK (dob 1990).

All of that is public knowledge: http://www.trueknowledge.com/q/who_dated_joey_paul_gowdy

Sorry but it's sick.
Sounds like someone doesn't watch much '16 & Pregnant' ?

Greater age differences have been reported on that tv show.

My advice to you is to start drinking heavily!




Todd

[TK73]

Good plan but you end up seeing 4 doors on EVERY charger...

[bull]

Those Wrangler Unlimited Jeeps have really grown on me. The four doors used to bother me but not anymore; not like the "Charger" thing, which is a different story... still.

[TK73]

They still get under my skin as an irritant... Wranglers were the B-A 4x4s now they are mall cruisers for middle class single people; the 4-doors are mall cruisers for middle class familys. Range Rover is going the same way from B-A 4x4s but now those are mall cruisers for upper middle class people who want to look rich...

My guess is the VAST majority of new Wranglers and Rovers don't even see snow much less off road mud...

I'm not even sure about the new 2 door Wranglers, too much "plush" I would not want to get dirty and WAY too much asking price.  The '95 YJ I had was prime for getting muddy and relatively cheap back in '95. Beat the h#ll outta that bad Jeep in the dirt, mud and hills...

[bull]

Chrysler is kicking around the idea of producing the J7 "Stripper" which is a stripped-down Wrangler more geared toward off-road abuse. There are some other concept Jeeps that are looking back to basics too. Not sure but I would imagine you can order Wranglers without all the foo-foo do-dads.

http://www.jeep4ever.ca/concept_jeeps.html

[TK73]

Those are cool!!

[bull]

I wonder why they don't put diesel engines in Jeeps? The 3.9L/4BT Cummins would perfect for the Wrangler with great low-end torque for crawling, and they would probably get 25-30 mpg to boot. Combine that with rubber floor mats, crank windows and a removeable hard top that doesn't leak?

Anyway, back to the topic... look here, I killed my own birthday thread: http://www.dodgecharger.com/forum/index.php/topic,86618.0.html

For the longest time, I felt there was some "secret/private" section of the forum that had voted all members should not post anymore in a thread once I posted. Didn't matter what I said, even if it was just a statement like "welcome to the board!" I felt like the biggest thread killer in world haha.

[Finn]

Haha crazy thought huh??

I totally agree.

My mom, in her mid sixties, has a newer Wrangler Unlimited.  She has the doors off of it and stored in a spare bedroom closet.  She has also taken the soft top completely off the Jeep.  It is lifted with ARE wheels and oversized tires.  She also has the chrome tubular front and rear bumpers.  It has never seen rain let alone snow or mud. It spends most of its time in her climate controlled garage.

[TK73]

Damn dude, ya gotta RESCUE that 4x4 and get some MUD on it!!     

[greenpigs]

  I own a 2010 Wrangler Sport(cheap?)& bought it to get from point A to B regardless of what the weather may be. However I also don't have a bunch of specialty off road crap hanging off or missing on my Jeep either. The only plans for it are some black Pro Comp 16X8's and 265\70\16 to correct the horrible stock steel rims and space saver size tires on it.

Everybody knows real Charger have 4 doors!!! We felt left out in the new Charger population so we all changed our car's model name to the Charger to fit in. Right guys?

[68coronetGLwannabe]

Without getting political, whats your opinion on the Presidential candidates?

[2Gunz]

If the presidential candidates where suddenly to turn into dodge chargers...... they would have 4 doors and huge mudflaps.

They offered a diesel in the Liberty's for a couple of years.  Didn't sell well enough over here, so they stopped.  Pity.
