Umm...tis kind of spam and pointless, eh? Padlocky. 9998 bottles of beer on the wall 9998 bottles of bear Take one down, pass it around 9997 bottles of beer on the wall I used to sing this when I was bored to death on long car drives.
You know what, whereas other games are pointless because they count upwards and infinitely, this thread seems to be finite. It will end if the number of bottles reach zero.
That's why I wouldn't be unhappy with the thread staying open. However, I doubt that users will be able to persist to 10000. Try recreating the thread with 1000 bottles and see if it works out.
