Would Pathfind To count as starting with P? (also occurs here).

Yeah, that's good enough. The one I had in mind was the PCMT (whatever that may be).

Close, but not good enough, I'm afraid. What you have there is a member with a negative post count, not a thread with a negative number of replies.

Okay, looks like some hints are in order. There are three items left on the list now:

4. A post explaining why the original Webfoot DROD was impossible to complete.
The thread where I found this is actually quite remarkable, because it was in this thread that a certain word of some importance to JtRH was coined.

6. A picture of a newborn boy.
The boy is a relative of a member of this forum.

7. A thread which at one point had a negative number of replies.
This thread has also contained demonstrations of how to mess up the forum by using certain tags incorrectly.

Those two are correct as well, but I'm out of mod points, so I can't mod you up.

For number 4, the answer I had in mind was this post, from the thread in which the word "mothingness" was first used.

That's correct. The Hints & Solutions effect strikes again! Unfortunately, I still have no mod points.

For the next search leader, I'll pick TripleM.

Well, some of these are really old, some are new, some are easy, and some are.. um.. blue. I have no idea if any of them are findable, but I'm sure people will surprise me. I'll probably need to give out a couple of hints later for some of them.

1. A post describing when tar is unremovable. (found by Syntax)
2. A post about how someone lied their way into beta testing JtRH. (found by Syntax)
3. The origin of the smiley. (found by Doom)
4. Why Beethro has a scar on his head. (found by Syntax)
5. The *original* Hints and Solutions 'read-me' sticky. (found by Wallu)
6. The first Hints and Solutions thread about a user-made hold. (found by Syntax)
7. An April Fool's joke about a computer game. (found by Wallu)
8. A post saying that one of the JtRH monsters was nearly put in the original DROD. (found by Syntax)
9. A hold with an average of 4.4 monsters per room. (found by Doom)
10. A member whose name is a colour (and is *only* that colour). (found by Wallu)

Simplicity
Funny, I didn't do any kind of extensive searching. This one came to my mind immediately, and after checking, it was correct.

Sorry Syntax, but you were more than an hour late.
