Have you ever seen a hot topic on DU limited to a single thread..

[Fumesucker]

The OP title is pretty self explanatory.





Edited to fix the title..

1. never

if nothing else, there will be a copycat (in the Lounge, at least)

2. Has this house fire issue been all over the teevee?

Or is it just a web and talk radio thing?

:shrug:

[Fumesucker]

3. I don't have a TV so I wouldn't know..

:shrug:

[pscot]

12. No TV?

That's not even legal, is it?

[Fumesucker]

17. You would think it's illegal..

Given the attitude of some people if you dare to say that you don't watch it..

:hide:

[HuckleB]

25. I hope it's legal.

If not, you've never heard of me.

6. Shoot, it is not even limited to hot topics.

Some people don't even take ten seconds to scan the first page to see if there is a dupe.

Simple search or control F, people!

:P

7. Oh, yes! Back in the good old days, DUers were civil and considerate.

We said please and thank you, read posts before replying, never called names or talked behind backs, and all topics were neatly organized into single, well-reasoned, thought-provoking threads.

That was before your time, however. Sorry...

:)

[Fumesucker]

8. Heh.. I think that was before the Big Bang actually..

:hi:

[Ken Burch]

10. You mean that sitcom about the nerds and the blonde?

n/t.

[Fumesucker]

13. "Nerds", "blondes"?

Sitcom?

:shrug:

[Ken Burch]

15. UH...this one...

[Fumesucker]

18. LOL.. See my post #3..

And I only see one blonde..

;)

[Ken Burch]

19. AND I posted "blonde" as the singular, not the plural...

Anyway...whatever...

[Fumesucker]

20. Eh, I'm in thread shock...

It's been a rough day on DU..

And now I have to walk fifteen miles uphill through the snow to the cardboard box I call home sweet home..

:)

[Ken Burch]

21. Don't forget to milk the cows and plow the back forty.

:thumbsup:

[Fumesucker]

22. Allah forbid..

[Ken Burch]

9. And we all got up at 4am, milked the cows(the bulls too, on a slow day)

then walked ten miles barefoot through the snow to the Internet cafe(walking uphill, BOTH ways) just to post here. And we thanked God for it, you young whippersnappers!

[realisticphish]

14. and DAMMIT, they knew the value of a GOOD DAYS WORK

[JVS]

16. Yes, but only in cases when the OP itself was the issue.

Any hot current event spawns many threads.

But sometimes a thread like "Call congress right fucking now" becomes a huge topic, but without spawning.

[Quantess]

23. Sure! The tattooed, pierced-face girl in the UK who was told to put a bag on her face

by the employment counselor. It was like 400 posts, and I don't recall any other threads on that story.

24. I have seen various topics sent off to various dungeons on DU, but

not limited to individual threads.
