Has anyone here ever visited page 21 of DU General Discussion?

[mdmc]

Generally there are two active threads on page 21 of DU General Discussion.
prohibiting gays from adopting or being foster parents is short-sighted and ultimately . . . by DU'er OneBlueSky

If you look right now (or tonight) at page 21 of general discussion both of these threads are there right now. Active.
These threads never seem to get archived. It is the oddest thing.

So I have taken to kicking these two threads and recording the number of views for each of the threads..
I'm gonna kick those threads again tomorrow. But take a look at them on page 21 tonight.

1. Sometimes when I'm bored, I "sort by replies" & read the zero-reply threads

:)

4. sometimes I find the most interesting threads or

pictures on zero reply threads..
what i like about page 20 is that you can kick a good discussion back to page 1..

11. My Dear CaliforniaPeggy,

Hi sweetie!

Be sure to switch to page 21 in the "start time" mode.

Here's a direct link to that page in that mode:

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_topics&forum=389&page=21

The two threads in question are the oldest ones still alive in GD, posted last November.

Not nearly as old, of course, as one in the lounge, by graywarrior.

You know the one. Here's a link that loads fast to say "Hi" in a reply to her thread, now more than a year old (a DU record):

5. There's a Monster at the End of this Forum

This thread reminds me of this book :)

7. I gather you mean page 21 in the default view.

I usually look at pages sorted by start time.

I'll go to default to see what's up on page 21, but if you're kicking them won't they go to page one?

:shrug:

[mdmc]

15. someone else kicked them before I could

I was going to leave them there for all to see. In about 5 days they will be back on page 21..

8. OK, that's weird

I just posted on one, but it's still not visible on page 1.

Could it be? The Holy Grail, elusive never-ending thread?

9. I don't have the pic--but have you ever seen "you have reached the last page of the internet, there

is NOTHING else"

[EFerrari]

10. Done.

(Actually, I have but what I was looking for wasn't there, either. lol)

[librechik]

13. yes, you have no life

sigh. me neither.

[Quantess]

14. Yes, and I actually kicked one of those threads

when I clicked on it and was amazed to see it was written back in 2008 and still in the current discussion section!

I sometimes go a few pages back to see if any worthwhile threads had dropped with little notice. I do it to help combat the onslaught of pointless and boring threads (pointless and entertaining threads are always welcome, IMO.)

[mdmc]

16. yup - kicking good threads help reduce

the negative vibe that sometimes dominates GD.
