More than a set person-number requirement, it seems to require a certain process:

Light bulb burns out. Two threads required to note the demise of yet another brilliant and vital light bulb in the Tiki chain.

Three threads required to discuss what will become of the burned out light bulb, as it is now officially memorabilia.

Two threads bemoaning the lack of support Tiki-philes showed the poor bulb before it burned out.

One thread to note a new light bulb installation is being planned.

One thread to announce the replacement of the light bulb.

Two threads to debate whether or not the new light bulb is worthy of being considered an "authentic Tiki bulb."

Another thread criticizing modern bulbs and pronouncing them "not Tiki enough."

One bitterly contested thread about what really does constitute a true Tiki bulb.

One splinter thread about how any bulb used in any way that is intended as Tiki is still Tiki, God Damn It!

One more thread to note that an agreement to disagree about the bulb's Tiki-ness has been reached.

One thread noting that the new bulb could be worse, but isn't as good as the old bulb.

Several threads saying how the atmosphere under the new bulb is just not as good as the old bulb.

One thread to chase of a newbie who posted about a cool Tiki bulb he/she saw and mistakenly posted about without doing a four year search of previous threads.

One thread to threaten Bong about chasing off newbies. :wink:

A thousand threads ignoring the bulb.

Bulb burns out, leading to two threads announcing the demise of yet another brilliant and vital bulb in the Tiki world...

Lather, rinse, repeat.
