what is the length of the longest thread on Sevenforums?

I keep seeing this one:
http://www.sevenforums.com/news/273...thusiasts-reject-windows-8-a.html#post2251639
And it is freakin' epic. Has there been a longer one?

 

[Razor505]

It might be this one.

 

[FaberTech]

I suppose you could go here

http://www.sevenforums.com/

go to each forum, and organize by replies.

 

[derekimo]

There probably aren't many over 200 pages, they usually get continued after that.

Here's a #20 continuation,

Epically flogged to death

 

[Airbot]

Certainly not the longest count by today's measure, but my thread way back (up to that point) when before it got closed was truly Epic. Probably still holds a record here for fastest growth.

This one is longer and it fits you exclusion list:
http://www.sevenforums.com/general-discussion/18190-what-dont-you-like-about-windows-7-a.html
People like to complain.

http://www.sevenforums.com/software/92-free-great-programs-windows-7-a.html
And people like free stuff.


These are also longer and they fit your exclusion list - but should probably be ignored:
http://www.sevenforums.com/general-discussion/2-welcome-seven-forums.html
http://www.sevenforums.com/general-discussion/127195-welcome-seven-forums-4-a.html

There are probably more that should be ignored.

There are about a dozen of these that are also longer - ignore them too:

And lots of these are longer:

Longest thread that the advanced search found:

Closed at 2990 replies.

If one were to a add all of those WEI threads up, it would most likely hold the record. People like to brag

But those "show us" threads are not quite the same "topic type" like the one that you started this thread with.

 

[TVeblen]

Good stuff. Love your analysis Usernameissues. Spot on.

And "flogged to death" is exactly the reason for my impromptu question. I was wondering: "how long can they bitch about this?" 2990 posts I guess!

Now I wonder what the longest actual help thread was. If I have time this weekend I'll do that search and see if I can find one in the list.

Like to see that myself.

I checked.

The winner, clocking in at 616 replies:

Honorable mentions (clocking in at over 1000 replies):

• More Help Requested [1+2] I suppose technically a help thread. Number 144 in the search list
• Windows 7 RC - More of an info thread (me thinks), but could qualify. #151

Whoo boy. If you read 4 posts a minute it would take over 2 hours to find out if he did or not!

Ended up doing a clean install. Go figure.

We could have told him that by post #9!

That's prolly cuz Windows 8 is the dirtiest piece of dirt. (8.1 might be cleaner tho)
