Its from HTML coding where to end a code it would usually end like

</[INSERTCODEHERE]>

so /thread would be end thread

The </thread> thing means "end of thread", because in HTML code if something is typed like that it means it's the 'end' of that section of the page. For example, the end of a table would be </table>. The end of the page head is </head>, the end of the page body is </body>, etc.

</####> is html code for "end ####" so </thread> means end of thread, just as <./.b.> means "end of bold", and so on and so forth. (without the fullstops)

It's a very old joke that references html code (see the "bold" "italic" "underlined" links above the text field when you're making a post.)

Basically, </ > denotes when the html command is supposed to end or something. So by saying </thread>, it's meant to mean that the thread ends with that command.

Also, </sarcasm> means end of sarcasm.

You won't like Rucklo when he's angry.
The mods got tired of waiting for NG chat to come back.
I think my signature's going to remain under construction forever.
