I'll take that as it is...but you must admit, some of the characters portrayed on these boards are worthy of at least a monologue, if not an entire 3-act play.

That thread where Zylka posted a series of repugnant X-rays.

The killer was URs terse message at the end: "Zylka is banned for violating the rules".

Yeah, we do have some characters here on the boards.

Still, I like the new archiving technique that only takes the threads that reach 100 posts.

That one hung around for far longer than I thought it would. It was there several hours. I remember opening that thread and LMAO.

quote: The last time this thread came about, the general consensus was that Asher's destruction of the Mac forum was #1.

That was hilarious as the Mac users sloooowly came to realize what he had done and then he was suddenly under attack from everywhere. Too funny!

quote: Sava's "Deregulation increased the vulnerability of the grid to failure", giving life to the now-classic retort: "I am an industry expert, doofus. It's what I do for a living."

You say it coming...but still hit the floor laughing when MTG pulled the trigger.

quote: Ming's "Faded Glory - Sad News!"

Reminded us all of the fraility of life. We all miss you Faded Glory. (Tazidude and Scouse Gits 2 also.) A little RL added to our community...

quote: The one with Fez threatening to throw me out of a helicopter

IMHO, the classic! That line is now a staple of Apolyton and I still laugh every time I see someone use it.

What was the Mac forum thing about?

	Support Apolyton, buy Civilization 2

The Civ-Mac forum was being used for just general Mac techie threads, and Asher called Ming in on it. It basically killed all discussion in the forum, and there was (and still is) a huge, incredibly funny thread with Agathon and Drake getting all up in arms, calling Ming an ******* and such. They claimed Asher led them into the debates in the first place.

Thank You!

quote: Originally posted by Jaguar The best thread I ever started got deleted by Ming. It wasn't even a spam thread or anything, but it got deleted because it had a somewhat contraversial poll option which might have sparked a flame war. But anyway, it produced this quote from Spiffor (paraphrased a little) "Bestiality should only be illegal when it falls under the category of cruelty to animals, because in some cases, the animal is more than willing to participate."

I don't see anything that controversial in that...

Why Your Protestations Against Capitalism are Doomed to Failure...

There's Japher's good old Single Issue Voter, with a big meltdown by tandeetaylor where she goes from calling me "cool" to accusing me of flip-flopping in a mere two consecutive posts.

One of his better threads, Sava's Social Security Alternative.

Agathon's Affirmative Action for Conservative Professors

Ted Striker's unintentially hilarious 1918 Flu Killed 20 Million People!!!. Ted, buddy, thanks for the heads-up.

DanS's Mel Gibson's Gold Mine, about POTC. One of my favorite movie threads.

Vesayan's If you had $500,000 to put in stocks, what would you put it in-also stock stories! , where I got a "hearty " from no less an investment personage as Sten Sture... and UR advised to dump your stocks - at the bottom of the market valley, when the Dow was at 7,200.

Definitely can't forget Saras' Baby Cuteness, posted at the time of his life when he was realizing that he truly loves his son. You can tell.

The Book Clubs' Red Mars discussion, possibly our best one.
