DislikedIn any case, are closing the thread? IMO, well it has been a v good one. In between qualitypictures provided timely by our friend Kill and all the useless but great fun posts of most of the posters, the trading content quality has been great for all of us and especially for the lurkers on the bottom.
If there will we a column with quality trades per post and views in FF, this will be definitively and by far the number one in FF...

The thread: I would HATE to see it die off. I tend to agree with everything you said above...and it couldn't have grown to be the fourth most viewed thread ever on FF, within six months, if many others didn't agree, too. The only threads it is behind in total views have been around since as far back as 2004, too! That's pretty telling...and everyone who has ever contributed here should feel a little...un-useless...because of that!
I know from talking privately to some of the "very" regular contributors, that at times it is "work" to keep it going. You kind of need to be "on" all the time to engage with people; bring some analysis...some humor...some "die sokers"...some "whatever"...to keep the thread flowing along. I know some people are a little burned out by it. I know I am a little, too.
And although I'm not complaining about it...it is just the way the site is structured...I receive a LOT of PMs from people, too...sometimes about CRAZY things! But also about some things that legitimately need addressing. People HATE to see fighting amongst us. They HATE it when lines get severely crossed through violent, or full on offensive language. Full on nudity isn't so popular either...a line killer never crosses...a line that has never really been crossed...even when the lovely "coffee girls" were waiting for PTfuckinL to show up every morning, too!
It just feels a little like Groundhog Day (the movie) of late. The markets even. Same shite over and over again. Perhaps everyone is a little burned out at the same time? I don't know. I hope the thread does not die, because when its rolling, as you said...tough one to beat. The "die sokers," "coffee girls," "bastards," etc. etc. are all over FF now...but I know where they all came from!
Hopefully some of the quieter contributors will step up for a while and keep things flowing...that would be GREAT! If not, perhaps it will just be a little quieter for a while until some batteries are recharged? I would say as long as FF is around, The Useless Thread will be, too...in one form or another.
Actually doing it will be the easy part. Getting everything setup to do it is the hard part! I need to just lock it down and get on with it.
DislikedI still have a few weeks before the summer break ...hopefully I will get the fireworks before the break.Ignored
Will you stay in London for the Olympics, or head home for a while...or somewhere else?
