Well... I don’t know about scary… but it sure was big and deep. ShipMum or another nice mod would snip the thread when it reached about 1000 posts and archive it. At first we were going through a thread in a week or two, then a week, and then a matter of a few days... Our goal on Ship Day was to get through 1000 posts in 24 hours. I don't think we got there, but it wasn't too many hours past 24 hours...
One of the things I did to contribute to that Ship Day Thread (since that was pre-Photoshop & Photobucket for me) was that I went through the 15,000+ posts we’d made in the thread from May to July to pull out interesting posts, funny posts, Shippertown things, Mala Creations, etc. (and NO Token! I refuse to remember where I hid my spelunking gear to go back through there again! I had several nights of ‘scrolling posts’ dreams thank you very much!! Though you're very welcome to the spelunking gear if you'd like to go on a search!! )
I just checked back on the WORD document where I saved the links I posted that day... and there was a post I must have made somewhere in that thread summarizing what the individual threads had been about up to that point. So for SueKay & anyone else interested in going back to visit the old Threads…
Thread Topics:
Thread 1: Pete, Affinity spoilers (S8), Grace discussion (S7), lots of ShipDaddy posts...
Thread 2: More Pete venting, more Affinity speculation & ranting and LostCity discussion & ShipDaddy posts! as well as more fun w/the JackClone...
Thread 3: More Grace discussion, more Affinity ranting, a whole lot of discussion of the “Who’s the Boss” article, more passion about Pete of course, & very little ShipDaddy ....
Thread 4: Same as 3, but more ShipDaddy!
Thread 5: Pete (hey what's new??), talk of the new S8 commercials & show spoilers, "got problems/issues” (Rob Cooper's comment about shippers) discussion, more ShipDaddy!
Thread 6: Where the family came together as group to work on-thread on the letter to AT, some Pete discussion (hey what was a thread without a snipe or two at Pete?), ShipDaddy’s was still there, and our first really big boatload of shiplets delurked....
Thread 7: Discussion about the S8 Lowdown, the S8 premiere, and all the usual discussions, luv, and rants...
Thread 8: Joe Malozzi’s post to the Shipper thread & and more discussion and speculation on S8 spoilers....
Thread 9: more shiplets delurking, more S8 spoilers, shipper t-shirt/mug talk
Threads 10, 11 & 12: more of the same & Shiploads of new lurkers!
Thread 12 was what we had reached by Ship Day. I think it was at Thread 15 that they stopped the snipping the threads at 1K and we've been archived twice since then when we've reached 10K.
*giggles*
Okay I've spent too much time on this post... I'd only planned to get on here to lurk a bit & get off here to go scrub the many S4 & S5 S/J (&Jack) caps I'd made to share here... But Token's post lured me in....
*giggles again*
I don't think the S/J pix'll get here any time soon... Jack keeps insisting I scrub him first…. So sometime soon I’ll get to the S/J pix & will share. Hopefully sooner rather than later, RL permitting...
