Default OT: IF\'s testing

i bet its a sociological experiment to see if anyone will post there. i almost did, but just incase i was wrong about it, i thought id start this obnoxious little thread.

No, its not a sociological experiment. Although come to think of it, that might be a good idea... And thanks for not posting there. So far, my experiment is working flawlessly. I'll see what tomorrow brings.

i've seen a bunch of off topic threads that are "do not post here" and such on other forums, all to see if people would post there. But if he says its not for that i guess we'll just have to wait and see.

Bet Fyron's selling something.

I know he's got me waiting to read what it's all about...


Hope it's not too expensive.

I don't know, but if the intention is to drive people crazy with curiosity, it's working.

I haven't had this much anticipation since waiting to hear what "It" was a few weeks ago.

What is it I.F.? I must know!

Guys, its not that exciting. When I tell you what I am doing, it'll probably be a big let-down.

Maybe he's testing the speed that his post slides down the message board. Or maybe he discovered a bug in the forum's software and he's investigating.

I think he's testing "How do you keep a fool in suspense?"

I'm still waiting for the answer, tho.

i was thinking along the same lines as spoo, he's probably testing how long a topic slips off a page if it gets no replies. We'll see I guess

We could all go and bump a bunch of threads below it up the list. The uncertanty principle in action.
