Just after midnight, on April, 4 2004 Cobain's Ghost wanted to send MJ a list of minor league players for a draft he had... unfortunately MJ's PM box was full so the message could not be sent. So he started a thread...Originally posted by DJBeasties View Post
After an hour or so EZEagle (whom I miss a lot) posted in it about how he couldn't understand how the post had multiple views... it should have just been a note to MJ and died. He opened the thread to see if there was something more to it, but there wasn't and he was puzzled.Originally posted by Cobain's Ghost
MJ then cleared out his PM box and all was right with the world... or was it!?!?why would 9 people even look at this thread. I thought I was missing something. So I open it to look and nothing. It is just as the thread states. So you would think it would have just 1 view but nope it had 9.
Gregg then took up the cause...
Solids chimes in with one of the funnier posts I've ever read:It is now up to 40! This has more views than some of the jokes that I have posted, and certainly more responses. I have got to get better writers!
Gregg
Four hours after the original post, and a few jokes in between, JGrendel (where did he go?) Bumps the thread and we are off to the races...I can't help it....I'm a view padder...
140 views, could this be the next cult following? Is this the thread that takes down Blum? Stay tuned.
GreggGhost makes a plea to stop the nonsense:Originally posted by Cobain's Ghost
and gets rebuffedallow me to publicly thank you for all your help. above and beyond the call of duty, to be sure.
ok, the rest of you can quit reading this thread now.
Gregg, JGrendel, steve, Funkley, gris, BC, EZ, and others continued to bump the thread with random comments and jokes... the post totals grew...Originally posted by JGrendel

JC questions post padding...Ok everyone, lets have moment of silence in honor of B-Fly becoming number 1..........wispersstevestopsnickering.....mmmstopi t......phfftisaidstopit......mmmmphfffttttttbwahah aHAHa...it is not funny it is a serious moment!
I hate that when someone starts a laughing jag in church, at a funeral, during a wedding, or a moment of silence.
Gregg
BFly defends himself and issues a veiled threat to JCI wonder how many times B-Fly has posted in this thread....
Steve makes a plea to save the wonderful thread:A lot fewer times than the diehards of this thread whose wrath you would undoubtedly incur if you even thought about shutting it down.
Please try not to drag this thread down. This is a proud thread! A mighty thread! Posting in this thread is a noble endeavor! This thread is important to national security! This thread is a part of American culture!

Soon after the comments became a sort of "say the first thing that comes to your mind when I say..." or maybe sheep and NR was flirting and we all interrupted...Originally posted by Steve
Originally posted by NROriginally posted by SheepOriginally posted by NRquickly the comments just became pictures... and that's how it's been for the last 5+ years... A thread that should have been 1 post and 1 view now has 10,250 posts and 160,000+ views. It has the second largest post total of any thread on RJ (behind only the epic Vintage Draft IV thread)Originally posted by sheep
Sure it's a ton of post padding, but I've always fealt some of the more sublime humor on RJ was in this thread. Some people put a lot of thought into their posts... good stuff!Last edited by heyelander; 01-24-2011, 03:02 PM.I'm not expecting to grow flowers in the desert...Comment
