I have too much time on my hands cause I'm creating words for demopedia
These are my proposals.

Bifinial - When a copycat thread and the original thread that inspired it occupy the first two positions at the top of the lounge forum.

Trifinial - When the original thread and two of its copycats occupy the top three threads of the forum.

A finial is an ornament that is placed on top of a structure or piece of furniture.

Does anyone have any other suggestions for the above occurrences?

1. Have you ever saw a quadrifinial occurrence ?
Seems almost impossible to me.

3. Here you go Raging, what would you call this...

Since you seem to like copycats, and every true copycatter knows the goal isn't merely to copy another poster...but to get your copycat right next it's mate so they go down into the achieves together...

I hope this link works...it's currently on page 112 of the Lounge archives...

Look for the thread "creepiest doctor", it's one of my finest hours in copycating...

4. So what do you call it when the copycat and its original
drop down in DU history together?
