What is the longest thread in DU history?
Does anyone know? I know the "my name is Stephen Joseph Vincent" thread which was begun just after the election was something like 962 posts.

Will this thread for Andy be the longest?

We have to keep it going for Andy and it is now at almost 900.

What is your bet on the final number of posts in this thread?

2. The Longest Thread Was Locked at Around 1,800 Posts
It was an attempt to create the longest thread. It was finally locked because it took forever for folks with dail-up access to open it.

5. Wow, 1800 posts.
I betcha that did take awhile to open.

I have turned off all of my preferences in my profile. That makes it a little easier to access the current thread.

So do you have a link for mega? When I am on broad band at the office I can go look at it.

thanks

3. I think it was the Lounge thread "How soon will this thread drop?"
Edited on Sun May-01-05 11:22 AM by Jack Rabbit
or a title to that effect.

IIRC, it took about a thousand posts and stayed up for weeks.

6. The Original Plame Thread
had thousands but not all within a single thread because as soon as one filled up another was opened.

7. You are right, there were 20 threads weren't there?
I was trying to find out about the longest continuing thread, I should have been more clear.

Thanks
