"PS2 - LONGEST THREAD."

Yes, it`s been done before.
No, it won`t be as lond as the FOG version.


Why am I trying it out anyway?

The PS2 forum is a very interesting place to be, but it can also be a little quiet. I though perhaps if we had a topic with several hundred replies lurking at the top, things would look more popular.

Feel free to use the topic to talk about anything. Either the latest PS2 game, latest ideas for including some female star in a game etc... or even just the usual chat that happens all over.

As I expect this to fail, I`ve decided to spend a little while pushing up the replies. No spamming, just lots of nonsense :-)

Any help would be great, it`d be boring to have a whole topic with replies from only me.

i hate longest thread attempts

We're a fairly big team, so we have to put everyone who helps on each paper, but i'm first as it's my observations, my work and i wrote the begger.

Ah, sounds excellent! Is that to assess the value of the galaxy, should it ever need to be sold?

I imagine! Field trips must be absolutely awesome! :D

Always the same for research it seems. You either stay put and continue researching or give in and get a regular job.

Wow! I've never seen one with 8 authors - must be different for each subject and journal I guess. Well done on being first though - alphabetical or order of importance? I'm last alphabetically which goes against a tradition - in some groups, they put the author who contributed the most at the end, but I definitely won't claim that's true in my case!

Anyway, in the same way as people might ask me what my favourite number is, what's your favourite planet? Same question for stars and stuff if you have any particulars.

Meah, just massive star formation, doing a galaxy wide survey for them, fun stuff as you get to go places, but pants job prospects at the end :) Back to dreamin i reckon.

My paper just needs resubmitting (8ish authors, but i'm first woot!).

Before I forget, which area of astrophysics? Anything interesting and mind-blowing?

Thanks Ineedsleep - useful info to know and certainly explains the interest in astrophysics!

Ah, excellent stuff, well done! I haven't done any by myself yet (after all, only just starting year two), but working with two other guys, we've had one paper accepted recently and are submitting a second in a week or two hopefully.

Number of readers before submission: 3 (3 authors)

Expected number of readers after submission: 8 (3 authors, 2 reviewers, 2 editors, 1 person who went to the wrong place by mistake)

Fame! Woo!

Afternoon,

I arrived to work 2 and a half hours late today. I really didn't want to come in and face the tediousness (is that a word?) of the year end accounts again. When I did get here though I arrived with bacon butties for my boss so that he didn't tell me off. Worked a treat :)

Jive! - gross.

ssxpro - I can tell you that frag used to be a dreamer. Wandering the world and staring at the skies with wide eyed innocence. This lasted until a younger model arrived on the scene and usurped him. Nowadays he spends his time staring at the walls and missing the life he used to lead :)

Astrophysics, hard on the write up at the moment and a sumitting a paper as well. Exciting isn't really a phrase i'd use, tedious i think is a bit more apt.


Nice Jive, real nice!

Ewwwwwww
