The content of this article is not part of official Warcraft lore, but has nevertheless become part of the World of Warcraft culture or community.
The Schwimmer can ALWAYS be found on the first page of the german Off-Topic.
The Schwimmer
The Schwimmer is a longlasting tradition of Threads in the official German Off-Topic Forum. The Thread, whose Postlimit is set to 500 (25 Pages + 1 Posting), is kept on the first page, therefore it is "swimming".
The person writing the last post in the Thread "blows" the Schwimmer and gets honored in the Schwimmerhof, a kind of "Hall of Fame".
History
The Schwimmer was created by a dwarven paladin called Redröm.
There was a try to export the Schwimmer to the french forum (under the name "Nageuse", See here), but it failed, since the frenchmen are useless in such things...
FACTS
- The first person to blow more than one Schwimmer in a row was Faraleth (Schwimmers 4&5).
- The longest-lasting blowing-chain was by Cyrodiil (Schwimmers 63-66)
- The person having blown the highest amount of Schwimmers is Gnomline with 26.
- The Schwimmer used to have a smaller number than the "Sticky", this has changed in Schwimmer 156(?).
- So far there have been over 9000 replys to the Schwimmers (123862 as of May 9th 2009 00:16 CET)

Evil Siblings
Sinker
The Sinker is the Schwimmer's evil twin, its purpose being to sink instead of "swimming" on the first page. The Sinker has been reformed the new rule being that if there are no post in over 14 days it is considered sunk and a new one is opened.
Darth Imperium
These threads are not comparable to the Schwimmer, however they are the cancer that is killing /b...erhm, the WoW-OT I mean..
Most of the regulars at the german Off-Topic have been named by Arcos (alias Imperator Ultrawassergas, or something like that) with Darth names (I as an instance am Darth Civandalic).
Anyhow these threads (166 as of June 26th 2010) are a threat to the Schwimmer. And they are evil and everything!!!
Harmonie
The "Harmonie"-Threads can be considered as continuing the Schwimmer's legacy, although the former Schwimmer-base considers it a failed and ridiculous series of threads.
So far there 64 threads of this kind, originaly initiated by Lolwtf, the Harmonie-threads have taken over some traditions of the Schwimmer, most notably a theme/lemma for each thread and a Hall-Of-Fame.
Others
There are several other parodies of the Schwimmer, the Schwimmreifen, or the Nichtschwimmer, etc.
