Thread lice

Those who contribute to a sudden blossoming of entries in a blog's comments by non-regulars attracted by a particular issue and who do not add constructively to the continuing dialog. Comment spammers.

Comment by a regular: Thread lice. The infestation will clear up after a while.

threadlich

When someone posts in a thread on an online forum, long after the thread has died, hence being a "lich" and bringing the thread back from the dead.

That thread's last post was 3 months ago... threadlich strikes again!
