edit: Alright, so apparently I'm not allowed to ask. That's fine, so I'm just going to change the thread title to delete so nobody gets too angry. :)
2nd edit: The closest thing I've found is that it's something from A Chorus Line, which I've never seen before, so that's something. I also found a whole bunch of other Adult Smoking threads but none of them make any more sense than the current one. I have no idea how so many people are in on this thread and yet no explanation is ever given.
So in case that thread is some kind of unbroken weird chain and it would be rude to ask for clarification in that thread, what is the thread about Adult Smoking? So sorry if I'm not supposed to ask and it is some kind of inside joke that people aren't allowed to talk about except on that thread, but I would love clarification because reading through it doesn't help.
It's not for newbies. It's for the board members who actually know each other and discuss things among themselves.

I don't feel excluded and I wasn't pitching a fit. There are plenty of other threads here. I was merely trying to reassure Fantod that nobody is plotting against him personally.
If all 'chapters' of that thread were preserved (which they are not), it would best represent the history of the OT board on BWW, for the last 10+ years.
It's a conversation thread. Nobody is excluded. Including newbies. All are - and always have been - welcome. Most people who post there are friends in 'real life', and many are regulars.
No secrets. Obviously, as it's visible for all to see and read, if they care to.
It began as a wonderful trip down memory lane for a group of people posting here who were of a similar age, but since then has morphed into a simple conversation thread.
There used to be many conversation threads. As there used to be 'love' threads dedicated to individual posters - most of whom no longer frequent this playground.
No mystery.
Other than the sudden interest in the thread by members who have just joined.
Hope that helps.

I'm not quite sure why you're attacking me, as I am trying to be as nice as possible, but I changed the thread title because a lot of posters started responding sarcastically so I figured I wasn't supposed to ask, and changed the title to avoid more sarcastic responses.
What is your problem with me? I had a question and couldn't find an answer for it, so I started a thread; I'm pretty sure that's standard procedure here on this Broadwayworld from what I can tell.
Fantod, you haven't committed a capital crime and nobody is trying to be unkind to you.
Try to think of a message board as a big room full of partiers.
You enter and find everyone engaged in conversation with others.
You don't start asking everyone what he is talking about and whether you can interrupt; you don't demand that inside references be interpreted on your behalf. You simply stand there, sipping your beer, until you overhear a conversation to which you have something to contribute.
And then you try to gently insert yourself into the conversation.
This is all that's being suggested here. The rest is just gentle ribbing.
