I'm fairly new to forums - what IS a Hitler thread?

Title says it all really. I'm fairly new to these forum thingies so some of the phrases are a bit alien; I'm assuming that it's basically a thread that has been run before - my question is, why is it called a Hitler thread?

Because there was a youtube link posted loads of times. It was a scene out of a film involving Hitler going off on one about something and someone had subtitled it about his henchmen buying him a BMW and him going radge with them!

THIS VIDEO was posted about 20 times, and has thus been enshrined in org history as the default response to any post that has been duplicated

This thread is one because this was covered already

I guess to sum it up, its a thread started by someone who didnt use the forum search option first.

For example I found both of these (ok so I knew they existed )

I did try a search before asking, unfortunately after the first couple of pages of results I gave up. Too many mentions of Hitler in other threads I suppose. It's amazing how often his name appears

Any more questions?

It's where people jump on you for absolutely no good reason when you haven't seen something has been posted already. Tedious and unfunny, some run a sweepstake to see who can chime in first. Usually those who are last in the queue to use the search function themselves.

Untangle those knickers Ed!

It's not meant to be taken as people jumping on others, it's meant to be a giggle! Stop taking everything like that so seriously!
