Create a new sensible thread in Off-topic that cannot be derailed/ruined for a month.
First person to successfully do so will get one month supporter, at the very least (I could add more).

Clarification - Sensible is vague, I'll determine if a thread is sensible to a certain degree.
Threads like "Post a Smiley" is definitely not sensible.

Edit:
So after around a month, I've selected two among the ones I think are fit to win this.

1) ITT: We post things that are neither funny nor interesting
2) Childhood Misconceptions

I can't decide which one is more appropriate for the prize, so I'm going to let you guys decide.
Poll ends in a week.

I can't think of a clever way to say it, so I'll just say it:

People will derail threads for the sole purpose of foiling this thread.

HUGE QUESTION.

Does the thread need to be popular?
Also, it is hard to assume that any thread will not become derailed/ruined.
It would make more sense to wait the entire month.
Every thread has potential for derailing (In Off-Topic).

That's the challenge, create a thread with a topic that cannot be/ is incredibly difficult to derail.

No. Though remember, it must be in Off-topic.

What about a thread where the whole idea is to derail it? Derailing it would be considered on topic, so it would win. Or would that just invert the failure conditions instead of eliminating them?

Even though I've long since retired from osu!, I'll always think of my time here fondly. If by chance you happen to notice this signature on some old forum thread, thanks for stopping by and I hope you're having a great day!

That's a great paradox you just found there.
Though is it sensible?

I don't think that actually falls under sensible, though.

What about forum games? Those are still in off-topic, and something like a Necropost game can't really be derailed unless the original poster sucks and/or stops updating it.

I was considering making a ninjapost game with non-horrible rules.

Isn't cool enough to have a signature.

I didn't even know that this was here.
I will stop de-railing threads as long as I get one month supporter.

What your asking for isn't even a bribe.
You're already "blackmailing" us by saying that unless you get supporter, you will derail the threads.

If you're threatening the community to give you supporter then you can go ahead and get your ass banned

You already have support you poothead

And besides if you want one free you'd better do something useful for the osu! community.

(And spamming threads isn't useful.)

Then move your lazy ass and start working. Or if you are too young for that, figure out another way.

Things that are neither funny nor interesting sucked, I personally think Childhood misconceptions is better.

That's because it was neither funny nor interesting.

Too easily derailed if post doesn't have the image.

5 years is enough for anyone? Don't you think?
