What's the rationale for quickly using up the last posts in a thread? I'm just curious.
I like the way the walls go out. Gives you an open feeling. Firefly is a good design. People don't appreciate the substance of things. Objects in space. People miss out on what's solid.

Buffista Movies 5: Development Hell
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
It's fun?
Also, I think the practical matter is that it keeps actual, viable conversations from being split between threads.

Ok that makes sense.

Because books.
Plus, it's cool as hell to get the last post.

I'm assuming the most ultimately cool last post would be one that says merely, "LAST!" or even "L@5T!!1!"

Nah, it's the one that gets in before the stompies close the existing thread. Content is secondary.

I was referencing the internet posters who think there is no greater glory than to post "FIRST!" as the first post.

Hey, there's no greater glory here, either.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Yes but when Buffistas do it we're being ironic.
