Someone the other day said they thought was this was the longest running thread In FR history which got me thinking.
So I looked, I went back as far as 2-28-18
since then there have been 65 different threads created (I only counted the ransomnote threads not all the little troll or anti-Q spinoffs)
those 65 threads have generated over 120,000 posts an average of over 1,850 post every 2.5 days
The dimensional door. This was thread 35, 2009.

Threads 30 and 31 had about 5000 + replies each.

I did not do a complete census of all the threads.
Thank you for having the patience to wade through that and count up the threads to 2/28. Maybe it would have been easier if we had just built on one giant thread instead of 65 smaller ones. :D
I know there are others on the forum red-pilling the public with Q threads despite the troll over-runs. Many have been pulled with a message saying, “There’s already a Q thread.” :(
Ernest-at-the-Beach takes on incredible odds- posting tirelessly despite swarms of trolls raving at him. I think other well-intended FReepers may have been caught off guard when they first tried to share Q information; the opposition in the forum must be seen to be “appreciated.” Together, FReepers are helping to spread the word. :)
I think the friday silliness threads were longer in years. Maybe not posts. It is epic.
