What's with the rolling eye's Mike? You know where the request came from. I will be happy to unlock the threads if that's what everyone wants.

I thought it was a game that had a timed interval. The winner was supposed to be the last post before the thread was closed by a moderator???
If I misunderstood, please advise.
Make no mistake, I do not care for such mindless entertainment, but I thought they had run their course, well, well, beyond what any prudent opinion and I asked for a moderator to "end" the threads so someone could "win".
If you want, start another, but please give it a time limit of sorts.
Geesh.

Whatever... I really don't have an issue with these threads other than they should be limited in number and they should not be in perpetuity.
Feel free to start another.
Just to set the record straight, I was the one who originally suggested we shut them down. I'm OK with being the bad guy. But as Driller said, they could go on forever if we let them, and George's original post stated that they would be shut down at random and the last person who posted was the "winner". If you want to play these things, try coming up with something that's actually challenging, where it eventually ends with everyone getting "stuck" with nothing to post. Then the last guys wins.

I liked J's "identify this widget" idea. potentially challenging, difficult to Google, and with clear and defined winners.
I used to enjoy the "word association" thing back in the old BBS days, but the "gameplay" was slower. I think it might have caused one to more greatly appreciate the transition from one word to the next. With ours, I found myself only playing the "next step." lending little meaning to the whole process. Of course, I was a lot younger back then.
Questions, is just difficult to do right. I kinda gave up.
