Curious George: *Tweeee!* Grandpa? Where do the double-posts go? Who's double-posted the most? Which double-post thread went on the longest?

there will be no - repeat, NO - discussion on the topic of double-logins. . . . quidnunckid i'm watching you . .

  • this is a double post.
  • I've double posted once. I'm man enough to admit it. In defense of double posting: These boards come alive when a double post is thrown down. It's fun, it's funny, and my opponent is a double post hating extremist.
  • double posts, double good.
  • werd up shotsy, it's always entertaining to see the # of comments rocket up on a double post. Prompting me to wonder if they're archived - or . . . should be??? *scary music*
  • I've never double posted.
  • I eat them with some fava beans and a nice chianti. So am I hearing a concensus toward keeping double posts on the front page? If so, I will.
  • Do the New Kids threads count as double posts?
  • i vote, yes, hurray for double posts (patent pending)!
  • I think I've double posted, like, 5 times.
  • well, I wouldn't say on the front page - but maybe some kind of second-banana double-post front page like www.monkeyfilter.com/monkeyfilter.com/ They do clutter up the FP, but sometimes they're just as fun and only 1/2 the calories.
  • I've DP'd 2 or 3 times. I feel shame. And yet also a feeling of elation.
  • I feel shame. And yet also a feeling of elation. Like looking at dirty magazines when you were a kid. Which I've also never done.
  • is it the act of double posting that counts, or the intention...?
  • My first post was a double post. *sigh* I was so scarred I may never try again. ha.
  • DP. *snicker* You know, like double pen... *snicker*
  • Okay, I've been reading this awesome site called MetaFilter. I don't think its been posted before. Can I make an fpp? I vote for pete_best's Muesum of Twee. But if it entails too much work I vote for beers in the hammock.
  • Will no one rid me of this turbulent double posts? Otoh, they provide an outlet for pent-up monkey tension. Poo-flinging time!
  • Poor Snow. Was it something that happened to you when you DPed? Were we callous with your tender feelings? GEDOVERIT!! hahahahahaha Ah, com'on. Have a banana fer Monkeybashi's sake. It's not the end of the world, and I, for one, enjoy a good DP. They bring out my inner smartass. Monkeyfilter: just as fun and only 1/2 the calories! On a side note--it is kinda fun recognizing a DP and knowing that you can gleefully call it, if you so desire, but what is it about those *other* Filterites that make them so dang VICIOUS about it? Like they don't have mouse buttons or something. Or their time is too important. Or their poo don't fling. Ya, that's it. Their poo's the wrong consistancy for proper flinging. Like Republicans.
  • this -> these Oh boy. /hides simian face in poo.
  • The key to not double posting is to only post really abstruse things no one cares about. Not that I would know or anything.
  • Also can we add it to the profile pages like: 15 posts and 240 comments (8 double-posts, what a lusermonkey!)
  • quidnunc kid i'm watching you Ah! - But are you keeping an eye on the quidnunc kid2?
  • My first post was a triple. I felt like such a toolbox. Damned bourbon.
  • neener neener I've never posted the same comment twice!@
  • neener neener I've never posted the same comment twice!@
  • Ah! I love the idea of adding it to the profile page! That would be too hilarious! DO IT! DO IT! DO IT!
  • did you bring enough for everyone the_leviathan?
  • Me too - I've made a double post. Yet even I don't want to boast About it - the subject? "Toast Art and Fashion". I almost - When found out - left for the coast. The FPP was diagnosed As first discovered by our host: Tracicle! I thought: "They'll roast me here!" and quivered, like a ghost. But strangley, you were all engrossed. Sorry
  • I Third the motion to add a poxy-double-post-mark on the profile page.
  • I for one don't care for double posts. But double pete_best? For Christ Sake! Will someone think of the children!!!
  • He's two *click*, two *click*, two Petes in one.
  • BlueHorse, shucks. My sarcasm didn't come through. I'm not that thin-skinned. :) I do like the idea of having it in the profile. Hee. Also: Well done, the quidnunc kid.
  • Post, thy double Doth make so much trouble That the monkeys on board Do pounce and burst the bubble Of the entity that ends it Without searching 'fore he sends it.
  • to myself, with echo-voice: That's odd... Pete_best never has a second post at home.
  • Is it a DP if the post was from a comment in an earlier thread? Am I too late? Hello?
  • if youre gonna be ragging on the double-posters, how about the MetaRaiders?
  • Twee is the Dutch word for two. There, I said it. Don't believe me? Ask the experts.
  • snow dahling: Never would I tease you if I thought you were thin-skinned! Yes, your sarcasm came through, but did you catch my smart-ass attitude?
  • Twee in English.
  • Smeeee!
  • No a FPP from a link in a thread is not a DP, by definition that I just made up. It *is* a fine line though. I just think it's interesting that the double post starts off so raucous that interesting things come out of it - usually completely unrelated to the topic. Which is very unusual.
  • And sometimes quite funny. I'm beginning to think staying on topic is vastly over-rated, too. Up with anarchy!
  • Ha! Ha! /nelson
