What Does This Mean?
On 2channel-style boards, a thread disappearing from the active thread list, typically because newer threads push it down or it is no longer kept alive, so it can no longer be posted to or easily found. Used as a noun or as スレ落ちする and スレが落ちる.
REAL-WORLD EXAMPLE
""If nobody replies, the thread will スレ落ち by tomorrow.""
LORE & ORIGIN
A compound of スレ (thread, short for スレッド) and 落ち (falling, dropping off). The term is understood from board mechanics in which inactive threads fall off the list; the sources reached for this entry did not describe those mechanics or the term itself, so the exact rules, a dated first use and the originating community are not documented here. It is related to 次スレ (the follow-up thread) and スレ立て (starting a thread). Treat the definition as the general board-user meaning rather than a documented etymology.
