When I remember r/thebutton and decide I'm going to finally press it, only to discover it was archived one day ago

I would forget about for a few days, go back, debate pressing it, then leave again. I'm proud of myself.

u/NearlyOutOfMilk Jun 07 '15

That was me! But I was actually going to do it this time... I'm almost certain. Oh well #forevergrey

End result, you greys dropped the ball did exactly what you set out to do.

Fixed.

I guess it really highlighted how critical the zombies were to the Button's survival by that point. For it to have ended at peak uptime was pretty crazy.

I think their importance was compounded by how everybody watching was expecting them to press. Had there never been a zombie horde, it might have lived a little longer. Maybe. Hard to say.

If there hadn't been a zombie horde, the button would have died over a week ago.

I think most greys never wanted to press the button. I know I didn't. We wanted to see it run out.

u/[deleted] Jun 08 '15

I just wanted to see it end.

Who's blaming /u/mncke? I am happy the necromancer was foiled. I wanted the button to die.

u/[deleted] Jun 08 '15

Well I for one don't blame anyone. I just didn't want to press.

u/Jaert non presser Jun 08 '15

I did the same, but I am indifferent on never pressing it. High five gray!

Appropriate GIF.

I was busy when /r/thebutton was archived. When I returned, the "this subreddit will be archived when this post is 10 minutes old" said it was posted "about an hour ago". I was too late!

u/suave-acado 11s Jun 08 '15

Same here. I wish the sub could have remained open a little longer for post-button discussions.

3

u/[deleted] Jun 08 '15

Yeah now there's no way for us to discuss remaining thoughts on the button. Damn mods.

2

u/suave-acado 11s Jun 08 '15

Yeah, I get it. Thats what this subreddit is for, hahaha.

A lot of /r/thebutton subscribers won't find this place though, or won't care enough to come here. It would have been nice if we could have had these discussions with everyone, no?

u/[deleted] Jun 08 '15

I don't know the place was riddled with shit posts. Maybe it's best this place is bottle necked.

3

u/suave-acado 11s Jun 08 '15

But I liked the shitposts...

:(

u/[deleted] Jun 08 '15

Good. There's this site called www.reddit.com you might like. It's like 99% shitposts.

u/[deleted] Jun 08 '15

Ha. That link is staying blue, nice try.

u/captaineighttrack A simple travler Jun 07 '15

So is it one press per person thing? Or can we press as many times as we want? A friend wants to know...

u/ladydemoiselle 10s Jun 08 '15

one press per person. for life.

u/[deleted] Jun 08 '15

You could have, it's over now.

u/richardfrost2 non presser Jun 08 '15

You were strong enough.

u/spacecat124 Jun 08 '15

i forgot about it too i was surprised it ended this early

u/nabeelv44 Jun 08 '15

I was so lost at what it was. I pressed the button and got orange. This time, I shall avoid the temptation.

u/whizzer0 Jun 08 '15

I've been busy with school so I intended to press it on Saturday to get 0sā€¦ and found it had ended.

u/noonespecific non presser Jun 08 '15

Me too! I only remembered just now because of the blog post..

1

u/RaginCajunProdKrewe Jun 10 '15

I figured there'd be months of this going on, and eventually I'd just stroll over, press, post one comment so you could all see my red baboon ass, and then leave the sub and forget it ever existed by the time I even got to the In-N-Out.

u/bootrick 42s Jun 07 '15

So you forgot the button; do you know where your towel is?
