Your All-Time Favorite Thread

In honor of SYM's upcoming 100,000 post (Buck must plan a celebration of some kind when we finally reach that goal), I thought it fitting to ask the Gamebanshee fellowship to think back for a moment to the one thread among the forums that you remember with the greatest fondness. Mine would have to be fable's serio-comic "Dwarven Throwers" thread that took on a completely different life of its own, followed closely by (I forget who started it) the "Top Ten Signs You're Addicted to BG2" thread that had me rolling for hours and exclaiming Seinfeld-like with every re-reading, "It's funny because it's true!"
Not to be narcassistic, my personal favorite thread (one which I began) was entitled "The JRR Tolkien Fiction-Writing Contest," which parodied the beginning of The Hobbit. It didn't catch on, unfortunately, but I'm sure it's still available if one desires to read it (puh-lease!).

- you only think that becasue it was the first truly spam-thread in pre-SYM days
My fav. is "I would like to say something before I get banned again! " by Banned Bassie
But okay - that is not actually a SYM-thread

You are not sucking me into goody, I managed to keep out of it back in pre-SYM days, and I'll not be lured into near it now

Prespammers guide was pretty good.
I can't bother to remember some of the older top quality grand A+ Spam but there were other good ones. Isle of Dr. Grunt etc.

Guns and Cookies! I loved that thread!
Like Xan though, I had enough will power to stay outside of Goody, yet... Something seems to be calling me... It's saying.... "Anti-Goody"....

It's nice to remember the good ole' days where we spammed the BG2 forum beyond belief... Funny... Buck sent us here almost a year ago. Didn't he say there were going to be donuts somewhere?

Woohoo!
My pub! Yay! Thanks KiddD
My favourite... the original Harem Tent
I think the most amusing ones to read were before my time though... Guns'n'Cookies, Romance 101, etc... LMAO
(And no, I haven't got desperate enough to read Goody yet...
)

Are you sure it wasn't cookies?

Nah, Wankerly and myself started that awhile back (
Check C is for cookie). Guns'n'Cookies was a classic. Maybe a reuniting of the band is in order.
