To successfully Hijack a thread, one must start commenting on the thread after it has gone on a while and talk about something totally different. Usually, a hijack is forcefully taking the intent of the conversation suddenly into a different direction. Carl and I got an ART about how to do that.
Still, at the end of the day, whatever we are saying is relevant to the OP's post, it is just from an odd direction with some salty or colorful comparisons or expressions no one saw coming. We know how to talk about jumping off bridges while still basically staying on topic.
Naw Captain Bit, you ought to try something like trying to talk about tainted vaccines and how innefective they are and how they arecontributing to hte effects of accumluated poison in us, and still say something related to hte original thread, like yeah, I don't know how that joker Der_Echte got so many likes in 2014, but it is clearly Carl's turn to top the charts in 2015.
That would qualify as a "good" Hijack.
Hijacking happens all the time without anyone deliberately trying to derail the talk (like Carl and I do) we just see one post, and next post talk about it and the thread just drifts off another direction all by itself without any help from me and Carl. You line up 20 people in a classroom or whereever, whisper into the ear of person #1 a detailed 1-2 sentences, something like Captain Obvious has had enough of thread Hijacking and will iniitate a manhunt on Carl and that worhtless Der_Echte to restore world order."
By the time #20 hears it and tries to repeat what he heard from #19, he might say something like "The Illuminari have teamed up with William and Carl to take over a new world order and need to be stopped."
I agree Illuminari need to be stopped, but you wont see them teeming with Carl or Der_Echte. if it looks like that, Carl is just trying to bait them to step onto his prepared trapdoor he installed in his building. Once he gets suckers to stand over the drop-zone, he hits a button on his smartphone, a trapdoor quickly springs open, and the suckers fall speedily down a steep slippery chute into the building's septic tank that is half-full. There are enough sewer rats in that thing to sustain a crew of four for a week, then it is every man for himself. Watch out for Carl, he has secret places and more high-tech traps than Q from James Bond series.
You read enough of our Hijacked threads and you'll know what we are talking about.
Still, we find a way to have fun and still talk about the original TT topic though.
The producers of TT vids have, and will continue, to get their deserved likes from TTD members.
