I saw this suggested on another site. It's a bit silly but I figured I'd try it anyway. 
The idea is that we count to a million, writing out the word(s), one post at a time. So, in the end, this thread has one million posts. Of course, it will probably be our grandkids that get there but... Read more »
A month ago, I started "Talkin' Tuesday" where I would start up a new thread every Tuesday for just general chit chat and small "Twitterlike" posts where you don't want to start a whole new thread. They haven't gotten a lot of attention and I wonder if people think maybe they can only post there on Tuesday? Read more »
