Thread hoarders!

[Son of Wobble]

I posted once in the Tapewound Club thread while I was still wet behind the ears on the subject and didn't know the strings I was posting about weren't tapewounds.

Months later when I realized my mistake, I just quietly remained subscribed to the thread because little red numbers at the corner of my screen have a Skinner box effect on me and I feel like I've earned something somehow.

You HAVE earned something with a TB like: The respect of a peer. Granted, said TB peers are all alcoholic, drug-addled, broke, depraved, and deranged by false hope. But we all gotta get our props somewhere.

My kind of people.

[Holdsg]

I have this, bad.

I must have 11-12 pages of watched threads, but, in truth, 10-11 of those are of my own classified listings (you never know when you might need to refer back to something you sold). So in my obsessive compulsiveness, I just can seem to let those go.

Isn't a reverse zombie just a dead guy, though?

Because ew.

I would have assumed you just do it until you vomit your brains out.

 

[Spidey2112]

Reverse Zombie sounds like a sexual position.

I think it may be Rob's brother, naively maintaining he's the exact opposite of his sibling...

I believe it's a highly caffeinated, alcoholic beverage, which when consumed, will bring you back to a state a little less normal, than before you started... drinking, of course... not being a zombie.

 

[Jesuguru]

There has to be some 'reverse-zombie-thread' related joke in here, somewhere...

I tried in futility to wrap my mind around "reverse-zombie". That's either someone who was alive, then zombified, then un-zombified meaning alive (and normal) again...
Or un-un-dead, which would semantically mean fully dead, as in the proverbial doornail.
In anticipation of a definitive answer I'm subscribed.

I'm thinking we need to summon Rick Grimes...

I didn't do my usual check in here yesterday morning with my coffee, and noticed by noon i had 40 new notifications to catch up on!

Is there a way to see how many threads you're currently watching?? I've either posted in or clicked 'watch thread' on hundreds, and only unsubscribed to a few.

Yes, click on your name in the upper right corner, in the drop down click on 'alerts'. The new screen gives your options on the left side.

It seems that anything i comment in gets added to the watched threads list. I've got 48 pages of them and wouldn't even know where to start in getting rid of that many.

In saying that, i don't get any external notifications (email or otherwise) on anything other than private conversations.

 

[repoman]

I didn't even know that was a thing.

this is the internet, a metaverse where by naming something you make it either true or real. take "reverse zombie " as a prime example...
...and now thread hoarding. let's start a contest.

Oh don't worry, it's all going in the Oxford Dictionary.

 

[Pbassmanca]

There's got to be some poor soul out there on TalkBass who having no idea what's happening to him has accumulated 100 + pages of watched threads.....

 

[J-Bassomatic]

I drop them the moment they 'Jump the Rope' er... 'Shark'... er whatever. The point of no return.

 

[Oddly]

I appear to be on 38 pages ...
I'm going to bed now, but when I wake up and get some coffee in me, I'm going to do something about this.

 

[Spectrum]

So how does Rule 34 play into this?

 

[S-Bigbottom]

 

[charlie monroe]

I just double checked.

Nope. The stupid cat gif thread is not on my watch list.

 

[bobba66]

Internet. So hard.....
