Originally posted by @handyandyMy recollection is - there was an original thread by Starrman (which was probably closed because of the server time it took to load the whole thread each time someone clicked on it), in which the thread closing post suggested that a replacement thread be started (which probably means there was no problem with the concept or content). Then there was another thread called something like Word Association Number 2 (which I can't locate now). I don't think it grew to anything like the original size, and I don't know whose name it bears or how to find it.
I believe the thread was closed for technical reasons by the site owner.
The ability to change thread names and poster names means that long-distance tracking is more difficult than it would be otherwise. Think researching male ancestors (fixed surnames) compared to female ancestors (multiple surnames). You have to feel sorry for future anthropologists researching the genealogy of the babies now being born into blended hyphenated optional surname families!
