Original thread

The Plaster Formula was designed to calculate the Epicness of a thread based on the original post's content. It was inspired by this thread.

The breakdown of the formula is here:

E = Epic thread
L = Amount of Lulz in original post (Seriousness is equivelent to 1)
R = relevance to current events and/or website
A = Rage
S = Sexual content
P = "Powerful" title
T = Troll posts

1. If the post is serious, Lulz = 1
2. Lulz is the amount of Lulz worthy statements (average user favorites)
3. Rage is plus or minus depending on if Lulz is present (If lulz is present rage is positive)
4. Sexual content also accounts for innuendos
5.Powerful title is either .5 or 1 depending on if it is a easily followed title
6. If epicness is undefined, a negative number, or zero, than the thread is truly not epic
7. If the thread doesn't become epic by year 7, it is automatically deemed a failure.

Thus giving you the following image:
(Note this must be graphed, as it predicts the lifespan of the thread, the potential epicness, and the achieved epicness.)
