  1. Stephen King is Dying Posts are Dying!! by egg+troll · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    We should all keep in mind this simple truth: Stephen King is Dying Posts are dying.
    You don't need to be Kreskin to predict SKIDPs future. The hand writing is on the wall: SKIDPs faces a bleak future. In fact there won't be any future at all for SKIDPs because SKIDPs is dying. Things are looking very bad for SKIDPs. As many of us are already aware, SKIDPs continues to lose troll share. Mod points no longer flow like a river of blood.

    Troll leader Egg Troll states that there are 7000 goatse.cx trolls on Slashdot. How many trolls of Stephen Kind is Dying are there? Let's see. The number of goatse.cx versus hot grits posts on Slashdot is roughly in ratio of 5 to 1. Therefore there are about 7000/5 = 1400 SKIDPs trolls. ASCII art posts on Slashdot are about half of the volume of SKIDPs posts. Therefore there are about 700 posters of ASCII art.

    A recent article put goatse.cx at about 80 percent of the troll market. Therefore there are (7000+1400+700)*4 = 36400 goatse.cx trolls. This is consistent with the number of goatse.cx Slashdot posts.

    Due to the troubles of Jon Katz, abysmal editor policies and Slashcode, Slashdot went out of business and was taken over by VA Linux whose stock was long troubled. Now VA Linux is also dead, its corpse turned over to another charnel house.

    All major surveys show that SKIDPs have steadily declined in troll share. SKIDPs are very sick and their long term survival prospects are very dim. If SKIDPs is to survive at all it will be among Slashdot trolls, crapflooders, and leet doodz. SKIDPs continue to decay. Nothing short of a miracle could save it at this point in time. For all practical purposes, Stephen King is Dying Posts are dead.
