you could just copy the link to the reply page for a given thread and then keep replying every minute or so until you make it
picking a time when the board is empty would help

I recommend you walk away from this and we can all pretend it never happened.

the closest have been the carolina vedder thread and the thread about the guy who posted the pic of his gf that everyone trashed

i think both were close to the 4:1 ratio

Don't listen to them, son. Can't you see that you'll be throwing your life away??

Legend tells us of something like this...

It was a Dave Matthews message board...dark and sinister night it was, like most nights on a Dave Matthews message board. Such a thread occurred...many are those who will debate what it was about, but most agree that it had something to do with the mixed flavors of Cheeto's and beer. You can see that we're not dealing with ordinary men, here.

At first it seemed remarkable. The perfect thread. Every view yielded a new post.

It wasn't until later that they realized what they had done.

Don't you see? Once you open the thread, posting is the only way out. It became a prison for lost souls...innocents who only wished the debate the impact of cheesy goodness on beer aftertaste found themselves with only one possible escape route. The quality of the posts plummeted. The thread never left page one, because anyone who opened it had to add a post, and it was always there waiting to be opened. The message board dried up. Millions perished.

Now, these are only stories to some. Do I believe them? Perhaps. When you've been out to sea as long as I, you see things that make the likes of you sick to dream about. Science will tell you the Parallel Post Count cannot be done. I am here to tell you it must not be done.
