It is also the reason why posts from Radio Chatter aren't counted towards post count. It was deleted as it had gone off the tracks in terms of user conduct as it had no topic (well eventually it didn't, but it did have a starting rant). Now if I remember correctly the present longest thread is the Music one here. Others may be longer but, I think they are conglomerates of many threads spliced into one. Also I seem to remember the title being "Gratuitous All Caps Thread 2" as it was started as a tribute to a rant on another website about how people TYPE LIKE THIS ALL THE TIME EVEN THOUGH THEY DON'T USE IT AS EMPHASIS. (Franko can elaborate on this)
If anyone wants to know a more detailed story about the thread, just P.M me as I was in the thick of things.
P.s Just an observation: in the drop down menu at the top of the page, Radio Chatter is still called by its old name Off Topic.
