You know a thread is controversial when...
 

Forget about wasting your time looking through dozens of pages to locate some drama...sometimes you can tell a thread is on fire just by looking at it (before opening).

-When it's more than 75 posts
-In the general forums, you look at "Last Post" and you see certain NPHC posters have posted.
-When in the NPHC forums, you look at "Last Post" and you see certain NPC posters have posted.
-In any forum, you look at "Last post" and you see that JOHN has posted!
-Any titles that have "help!", "local", "why....?", "underground", "I have a question", "accused of hazing", "PLEASE READ", "seeking" (in NPHC/AI), "dreaming" (in NPHCH/AI), "aspiring" (in NPHC/AI), "always wanted to be" (NPHC/AI), "heartbroken" (Rush, NPHC, and AI).

And any titles that have "South", "Southern" or "SEC" in them. Bless their hearts.

Any thread with a post that says "Is this you, Dionysus?"

-When it is the OP's first post ever.

-When everyone is worried about getting their two cents in before the thread closes.


Oh to elaborate on Dionysus' response about the thread having more than 75 posts...you know things are really bad when there are 75 posts in a 24 hour period. lol

~When the same 5 people have posted 20 times each in the past few hours.

When the last 5 posts are: "In before the lock!"

Are you kidding? Any thread STARTED by Dionysus.

^Hmmm...I don't recall starting that many controversial threads lately, lol.

The rest....I'm talking about threads you haven't even opened yet. :p

...GCers raid their virtual kitchen for some popcorn, snack, and their beverage of choice.

When the thread is started by Earp, particularly if the thread
-is a place for him to sort his email
-is about sororities

Any thread that contains the phrase "I am a regular GC poster, but I'm posting under another name to conceal my/my chapter's identity."

Okay, cyber pimpdaddy.

When OTW is the last poster and the thread is locked.

When DSTCHAOS post more than once or twice, sorry Soror :)
