The Happy Thread
Interest has been shown recently in producing the longest thread.
The other forum which I repeatedly bore you with, has a couple of everlasting threads, one called The Happy Thread and one called The Grumpy Thread. I can't remember whether we've ever tried it here.
So I'm kicking off the former here - how about giving it a go folks ?
The "rules" for this thread should proscribe all name-calling, all negativity, all pessimism, and all other unpleasantness (probably what Ab Towers had in mind originally for Chatterbank). Anything goes as long as it's harmonious.
P.S. These rules prevent me for offering a candidate to start the Grumpy Thread 😀 😀 😀 😀 😀 😀 😀

Many other websites that have everlasting threads (that go on and on and on) achieve this because a new post (to the thread) automatically promotes that thread as the most recent – which people see first.
I have seen posts on other sites where a thread has been resurrected from many years ago (due to this) – I don’t think AB should adopt this post/thread listing technique; let them die a natural death due to age.
