threadout 

A threadout happens when you think so much that you forget what you were thinking about.
Basically, you start overthinking your thinking and your thoughts just become lost.
I was thinking so long and hard i ended up having a threadout.

threadfuck

when a comment thread leaves the original topic gasping faintly in the distance and becomes a war between two equally stubborn, angry and/or compulsive strangers
Man, as soon as someone dropped the "Nazi" bomb, I knew this was going to turn into a total threadfuck.

threadomancy 

reviving an old forum topic after many months, often simply adding nothing to the topic itself by only replying "I agree."
Poster: I think that Bush didn't actually expect to find WMDs, he was only trying to take Saddam out of power.

2 months later.

Threadomancer: I agree.

Threadsurrection 

In discussion forums when old threads are reasponded to from several years go and everyone else wonders how and why the thread was brought back to life. Usually, any questions in the original thread have been answered and are no longer pertinent. Rarely are the original posters still active.
"Who's responding to these posts from 4 years ago?"

"Berg was on a threadsurrection kick last night."

threadsitting 

When the OP of a thread constantly replies to other peoples' posts in it. He or she is most likely F5ing frequently to look for new posts.

Also known as threadcamping.
OP: What is your favorite color? Mine's Blue.

Poster 1: Red.

OP: Oh cool! Red is neat too.

Poster 2: I like green.

OP: Eh, green is OK, but it's not for me though.

Poster 3: My favorite is yellow.

OP: Yeah I don't get yellow at all! That's so weird!

Poster 4: Pink's the best.

OP: How did you know?! Pink is my second most favorite color!

Poster 5: Orange, and stop threadsitting.

OP: Oh please let me threadsit, I lost my job and broke all my limbs and the only things I have left in the world is this thread, and my 50 cats :(
