Can a thread be deleted?

The initiator of the thread can delete it unless there are replies, IIRC.

After that, you have to beg admin to do it. (And cope with the fallout from people whose post counts are reduced as a result.)

I wonder what happens to rep received for posts in a thread that is deleted? <scampers off to dig through vBulletin source>

[TimberWolf]

Yes.

Mention "Bob".

Seems to work for some

What's wrong, Pandora? Don't you like what's in the box?

rotten.com: This is rotten dot com

OMFG that takes me back a few years. That site and ogrish.com (which is now defunct) were both horrible!

A constant battle between morbid curiosity and nausea.

Just looking at rotten.com at the moment.

For example Simmer is a link you definitely don't want to click if you have any food to eat in the next two hours. A 90-year old bloke who put a kettle element into his bath to keep the water warm, then died of old age when sat in it. Result: boiled broth of man.

And ... I really shouldn't post any more links

Ewww!!

So how did this happen? Did she simply fall, perhaps due to trying to run while wearing posh shoes, or did she get sucked under the train by some aerodynamic effect? Was she hanging on to the door trying to open it?

shame and a total waste

What kind of site hosts such nasty stuff - and how do they even get the footage to start with?

Having contracted for Railtrack, I've heard some horror stories...

Here in Manchester, at Piccadilly Station, "An incident at Slade Lane" usually meant a suicide on the line, and one the head honchos there used to regale us with tails from his earlier career, dragging bodies off the line, looking for the head several hundred yards away (it usually bounced about under the train a lot) and the lack of blood, the train weight on the wheels seals the neck.....

I was on a Manchester Victoria to Bolton train, heard a scream, and a thump, train carried as he has to, next day was in the paper, death on the line at Moses Gate.....

I have seen some of the vids on tubes of people getting caught in the gap and dragged the entire length of the platform before the bit that got caught gets ripped off. I imagine it was a pretty long drawn out messy affair.

What a waste. Been a few of these over recent years, and always a fit young thing.

Shows there's some benefits to being a fat munter, they wouldn't fit down the gap.

'Mind the gap' now seems somehow deficient. Perhaps Mitch or someone could come up with something more graphic (or less long).

Train big, fast, metal.
You small, slow, squishy.
Train win. Every time.
Mind the gap, ****wit.

[wobbegong]

It is always a tragic damn shame when anyone dies especially someone so young

but to be honest getting on a train is a pretty simple task and you are constantly reminded to mind the gap....

maybe Darwin was onto something?

Eleven o'clock on a Saturday Night, I'd imagine that alcohol may have been involved. Such a shame, she was so pretty and had her whole life ahead. It's every parents nightmare.

Poor kid.

RIP
