zugmann Murphy Siding Would you feel the same if I replied to the last 20 of his threads saying "Hi! how's it going'?" so the whole 1st page was overgrown with his threads? I'm doing ok. How about yourself?

It's been fun. But it isn't much fun anymore. Signing off for now.
The opinions expressed here represent my own and not those of my employer, any other railroad, company, or person.t fun any
It is not unlike placing 15 or so posts regarding the same oil train disaster.
She's got eyes of the bluest skies that if they thought of rain, I'd hate to look into those eyes and see an ounce of pain.
Yep, it's been a long time since I've gone to page 2, but I don't think we have much need to do it. At least not the way chrome and firefox present threads. Mabye your setup's different. Threads with the most recent posts appear 1st, and ones I've already visited are grey unless there's a more recent post since I last visited, so I only need scroll down to the 1st grey font. That's pretty quick unless I've found something more worthwhile on which to waste my time than this.
and yep, cajonsummit has posted 6 times on each of the most recent 2 pages, but I don't see that they're generic. 5 of the 12, less than 50% are videos. Are you trying to say if you've seen one freight train video you've seen them all? 2 of them are in Austin Tx, but the titles say different railroads. The only ones I'd call generic, from title alone since I haven't watched the videos, are the 2 in Fontana Ca.
His other thread titles certainly seem varied enough to me. I can't swear that I've viewed each of those threads. Did you, and did you then determine they contained generic info other than what their titles suggested?
By the way, what's to stop a pushed to prior pages original poster from replying "folks, why hasn't anybody replied" if they want their thread back at the top of the list?

dakotafred I don't see posts with zero replies as a problem. They drop out of sight quickly.

Number of posts is not necessarily the way to measure how good a thread is. For example, "Amtrak adds new service", maybe the 1st post says all anybody really needs to know about the subject. Of course that doesn't necessarily stop many people from adding meaningless posts to the thread, as I'm sure many feel most of the posts in this thread, including perhaps this post, are meaningless.
You got it:

Now that was freaking hilarious, and so fitting !!!!
Sheer magic. (You should post this in the other thread, too...)
I had almost forgotten how much fun Shari Lewis was.
(More seriously -- has anyone actually tried PMing the member who keeps posting the video links, and suggesting to him that he start a thread of 'interesting train views' or something like that, and then post often enough to keep that one thread near-current?)

Euclid Well you do often seem annoyed, but I don't believe that it is because of the reason you cite. That would be a silly reason to be annoyed. No, I think it goes a little deeper.

Euclid I don’t see how anybody has the magic power to get the last word unless they post a lot of inflammatory nonsense to get the thread locked.

It's a cost of being active in a group. There's no predicting what posts will go viral.
Until somebody else posts , this is the last word on this thread.

edblysard Yes, but… Getting in the last word, whether relevant or not, makes the “last poster typing” poster feel superior to the other posters.
