Famous Thread nominations!

Post by **AdmiralKanos** » 2007-11-05 02:24pm

As the thread title says, folks. If you think there are some threads which are particularly noteworthy, going right back to the origin of the board 5 years ago, then nominate them here.

Baghdad Tiger. If there's no other thread worthy of it, that one is.

The Pope John Paul death threads might also qualify.

Could you define "Famous" (As in good, interesting, well known, notorious...)?
The Darkstar threads are certainly very IN-Famous, for example, as would some of the more amusing Parting shots threads (Ah, Jake and his gospel)...

The Great Mess Prank of 2k7 definitely needs to be here, along with 1-2 of the threads that foreshadowed it (The "general Pace hates homosexuals" one mayhap?).
"Waits for Ace, History board members to attack in 3.2.1 "

"Famous" would simply mean any thread you either want to reference in future debates or which we think is just so funny or cool that we want to make sure it's always prominent and easily located.

Are those to be limited to N&P, or are threads from all forums eligible?

Have a very nice day.

A quick, easy reference material would be the Encyclopedia Moronica.

Under the funny category, I nominate Real soldier's don't have god-mode

It was before my time, but was there an original, single thread devoted to the unfolding attack on 9/11 as it happened? That would certainly be worth examining.

Katrina thread, too.

Oh wait, the forum was founded in 2k2. 9/11 was 2k1.

My mistake. The Madrid bombings thread also might be worth preserving.

For funny, nonsensical threads, Hamel's penis and bread one, but I think there was a far crazier thread somewhere.

The one where he cut himself with a piece of toast or the one where the cat got his balls?

From the Stardestroyer.net chronicle.

Space MinesDave (Fri Mar 12, 2004 9:10 pm -- Tue Mar 16, 2004 6:33 pm)

A newbie (Dave) poses an interesting question about the usefulness of space mines. The general consensus is that they are pretty much useless as a defensive weapon in most cases, given the vastness of space.

I have no idea how I'd find them, but those long 10 page threads of health care debates with tharkun were always quite informative.

Health Care systems Pint0 Xtreme (Fri Apr 01, 2005 1:29 pm)

A thread by Pint0 Xtreme about health care. One of the more amusing parts of it is where acording to Tharkun, Viagra commercials help save lives.

Found it: I just cut my penis on a slice of stale bread. Pure comedy gold.

Why not both ?

I'd nominate the SDnet goes to Middle Earth thread. Fun, light, imaginative in a geeky way, with some gold in it.

Superman · Post by **Superman** » 2007-11-24 08:28pm

Might I nominate the infamous Pink Foam thread?

Isn't that a bit egotistical.

Then I'll second his nomination, or make it for him?

NomAnor15 · Post by **NomAnor15** » 2007-11-24 11:22pm

I know I haven't been around very long, but if it's not too forward I'd like to nominate the "Godzilla versus his weight in chimps" thread, and/or the "Bowser vs Saruman" thread (in the funny category, of course).

Alex Moon · Post by **Alex Moon** » 2007-11-25 12:46am

Mary Poppins vs Trinity.

that Catwar, and far too personal questions for Kelly live on elsewhere in the net, locked and stickied.

Any of the Patkelly threads...

This. Something about it just screamed to me what makes this forum so wonderful: an aura of deathly seriousness about being transported to middle earth with nuclear weapons.

I don't remember who it was, but a couple of people in the thread nominated it to be "the greatest thread of all time."
