Question: If enough people quote the person above them, will the forum implode?

uncle phil

yes...

This thread would be a great place to post some sort of important secret that you never wanted anyone to ever see.

Goodbye thread, you never had a chance.

^just peer reviewing the conclusion....and it appears that no...it doesn't implode...

oh...wait...enough ~different~ people quote ~exclusively~ the person above them, instead of ~one~ person quoting all of the people above them...

well them...

psssssst....I have listened to some of roachboy's off the freaking hook radio wave transmitting custom fancy schmancy piano improvisations...and well, the secret is I kind of enjoy them, although I still have to wrap my brain around them a little more!!!!!!!!

One final gasp.

The whole point of this, of which I assumed anyone of mild wit would figure out, was for each person to quote the person above them and to optionally say something of their own.

As each person put quotes into more quotes, the thread becomes exponentially larger, thus leading to expanding hilarity.

My wit is jalapeno,
and I have a strange
aversion
to quote

I don't know why.
sorry.

I need therapy.

Except that TFP doesn't nest quotes. Note that Ring's comment is missing from this post.

Well, yeah, you can, but it's more work. Also, I think one of Host's threads imploded when he went too far with the quotes.

With all respect to host, I am pretty sure some of his threads implode less from nested quotes than from sheer mass.
