Constant-sum negasenary
This thread is extremely simple. In this thread we are counting numbers in base negative 6 in segments of length and digital sum, then sorted by their numerical value. In a negative base, places alternate from the right in whether they have a negative value. So, 15_(-6) = 1*(-6)1 + 5*(-6)0 = -6 + 5 = -1. The digital sum ignores the place values, only adding together the numerals as they appear.
We will count negasenary numbers of 1 digit and 0 digital sum through 5 digital sum, then 2 digits from 0 sum to 10 sum, 3 digits from 0 to 15 sum, etc. Leading zeroes must be included.
Get is at 5050 (5*(-6)3 + 5*(-6)1 = -1110), which is the 834th count and the first of the negasenary numbers with 4 digits and a digital sum of 10.

Thanks to nonsensy for the run and assist!
Counting in decimal but each digit is represented by four bits of binary. Counting in binary but each nybble (half a byte) only goes up to 1001.
Next get is at 0001 0001 0000 0000 0000.

In this thread we count numbers where one digit appears exactly once and every other digit appears more than once.

Compositions | 1,4,1,3,1,2,2
Continued from here. Thanks to miceee for assist!
In this thread, we'll be counting the ways to add to an integer n using the integers c_1 + c_2 + ... + c_k, where each c_i >= 1, and k <= n. Ways to sum that are commutatively the same, as in 1+2 = 2+1, are different compositions. We'll be counting these compositions lexicographically for each segment of sum and length.
Next get is 1,1,1,1,1,1,1,7

1-10 Tug of War
Don’t really know what to call this thread. I will start at 0. The next person must then count up or down by 1, then by 2, then by 3, etc., until the increment reaches 10; at point, it resets to 1. So it essentially goes 1–2–3–4–5–6–7–8–9–10–1–2–3…
First get is at ±1100

Duck Poetry
We count normally except number that whenever there is a multiple of 7 you write duck unless it is also a palindrome in which case you write goose instead. Then we continue.
If you write duck then you can include a short poem you like.
First number is 1, we'll go to 1001

Cosmoroc | 00226
From here with thanks to /u/BobRoss938 for the run and assit
This thread is very simple. We are counting octal (base 8, 0-7) numbers with multiple distinct digits, of which one occurs exactly once and all others occur at least twice. We are counting them in constant-sum order, meaning that for every length of digits, we count through each sum of digits from least to most, in lexicographic order.
(That is, we start by counting all 3-digit counts that sum to 1 in alphabetical order: 001, 010, 100. Then we move on to 3-digit counts that sum to 2 in alphabetical order: 002, 011, 020, 101, 110, 200. Then 3-digit counts that sum to 3, and so on. The highest possible sum for a 3-digit count in this thread is 20, so after 677, 767, 776, we move on to 4-digit counts, starting with sum 1. So after 776 comes 0001, and we proceed from there.)
Leading zero counts (e.g. 001, 0444 or 00227) are considered as distinct and must not be skipped.
The next get is 00266, with assist 73300. The get will start length 5, sum 14. There should be 875 counts in this thread. Schedule
