A forum
zombie, sometimes known as a thread
zombie,
will torch through every post, whether relevant to the
zombie or not, and use the information (no matter how outdated) to rule the
zombie's every waking thought. While this condition is quite severe, there is treatment, but only if it is caught in the early stages. Warning signs of progression are as follow: Unresponsive gaze while or after reading the forum/thread, not eating/drinking/sleeping, re-responsive gaze and aggressively attempting to brainwash you into believing /b/ memes are funny and original or uses another highly unoriginal meme, lack of intelligent speech and writing/text structure, and finally, becoming a Scientologist or vegetable. Also, in rare cases, zombies can develop a condition known as Activision.
The only known treatment is to bludgeon the
zombie with their own computer/
PC and/or mobile device that they are using to read the forums/threads with until they snap out of it. Sadly all cases treated past the lack of basic necessities resulted in permanent brain damage.
At one point, Vin Diesel was believed to be a forum
zombie, but it turned out he was just a zombie in general.
Person 1: I found out my friend was a forum
zombie, so I had to beat some sense into him with his own
PC.
Person 2: A thread
zombie..................Illuminati Confirmed? *Hears X-files theme* Darude-Sandstorm?
Person 1: OH MY GOD YOU'RE INFECTED!*Person 1 pulls out Person 2's phone and beats the ever living shit out of them with it for using an overused meme*
