What does /thread mean on messageboards?

Question

i have seen people type /thread at the end of replys, what does it mean

Answer 1

They are saying (probably with humorous intent) that their post should be the last word on the topic at hand.  Much like "/rant" or "/soapbox" - the forward slash means "end" and is a reference to computer coding.

Answer 2

Topic forum.. or a message board, the inside of a topic talking about the messages.

Answer 3

Thread means a topic for discussion. It is so called because there will

be series answers and arguments going on like a thread for that topic, and exchange of ideas - unlike Yahoo Answers.
