Right, I've only been about these parts for a comparitively short while and have missed a huge swathe of the good stuff. But new arrivals are constantly pitching up and should have a go-to thread for their education in just how "off-topic" we can get in the off-topic sub-forum.
So here's the deal. Post your favourite classic thread - the stupider and more ridiculous the better. Threads that are rapidly derailed into utter stupidity are also welcome. If it made you laugh like a drain and even the thought of it makes you grin, this is the place to share your favourites.
Oh, make sure to post the thread's name and/or what it's on about too, that way we'll avoid too much needless repetition.
Here's my first entry, the one that I've just been pointed towards.
I was on my honeymoon for much of that one (kicked off on my wedding day, honestly I can't leave you people alone for five minutes...), and I was still compelled to read it!
I was gonna say that I'm glad it sorted itself out as quickly as it did. It loked like a bit of a fan/pro divide was beginning to form and it would have been a shame. One of the many great things about this board, I've found, is that creators can come on and interact and be 'one of the lads' as it were. I don't frequent many forums but I'm guessing that that's not the case everywhere.
It also made me realise that when I first joined I was guilty of some of the sins discussed - and can still be in the case of one partcular writer - so I hereby resolve to do better. I don't want to be the next philt. Wherever he may be now.
