the "ultimate" question thread

what makes a thread "ultimate"?

can any author of a thread title it "ultimate" and have it be so?

if a thread is labeled "ultimate" then ends up mearly adequate, or even below average what would be the appropriate punishment?

can a thread reach "ultimate" status if it's not titled so from the gidee-up?

who started the "ultimate" thread classification, and why "ultimate"?

im sure there are other rankings for threads, whats below "ultimate" (besides this thread)?

anything above "ultimate"?

can "ultimate" status be achieved by a member (well besides those with shinny apples, and we know who they are)?

what if there are two "ultimate" threads on the same topic? does one lose its status? is there "ultimate II" status? or can one become "less ultimate"? how would this be determined?

last question, who shines your apple?



good night everybody!

A thread reaches ultimate status when I say it does. This thread has not yet reached ultimate status.

I should point out that my thread is "ultimate", not ultimate. It makes no claim to eventual greatness, rather it's a play on the rest of the ultimo threads that have hit the tech forum lately.

I can guarantee with some authority that my thread will never be ultimate.

Eris shines my golden apple.

Ultimately, this thread is doomed to be made into applesauce.
