Best Topic?

If the Ivory Tower is the brain of the board, and the Transformers discussion is its heart, then General Discussions is the waste disposal pipe. Or kidney. Or something suitably pulpy and soft, like 4 week old bananas.

not sure if that's the 'best' but it's certainly one for the history texts i'll grant you that...

i reckon the "Pat Lee's best artwork" thread was a winner...
(was that a thread of just a post in another thread? who cares...)

I missed Screamer. Thankfully.

Although, I think I was there for someone who was mistaken for Screamer.

Does anyone know which religion topic ran the longest? Some of the recent ones are probably close, but when we had Blacksword and Commander Shockwav it seemed like there was one that went ten pages.

I think the longest (or at least the most hotly debated) religion topic was the one I started post-9/11 with the title "Should people be allowed to believe what they want?" or something like that.

That Sam Harris guy has written a book with essentially the same argument.
I would have waited a ******* eternity for this!!!!

Blimey.

I'd actually forgotten the extent of Ishin's twatishness-that guy is an unbelievable ****.

Didn't he find religion recently?-I swear I read a thread from another forum on the subject, that had pictures of him in it as well.

Can we un-ban him, and invite him back? If he has found God, he'd be gold in the religion topics. I can think of another recently departed member that I'd like to see back here too, just because he shares the same kind of "I'm clever! Why don't you all agree with me?!" attitude that Ishin does. I'd love to set them off against each other.

Because I'm cool.

That's right.

I'm going to make it required reading for prospective TransFans.

Aww, c'mon. Laughing at Predabot's expense is worth a few bob, isn't it?

What about the 'sigs' topic in Website Info & Questions.

My my....lets see.

DMB was a long running thread theme.....good stuff there.

The whole "TFA vs Transfans" flood was an interesting one.

Screamers bull**** was just, well, annoying.

There were soooo many random religion, government, sexuality debates that we've had that started a lot of 5-6 page replies. Good stuff in my book.

However, I do miss the Caption Contest threads and insulting Compy on a regular basis. So many threads hijacked.....

I'm just going to vote for myself and state that Pat Lee's Best Art ever is a piece of genius that you could never have concieved of yourselves and you are honoured to have witnessed.

oh yes.

and now for the action packed clash you have all been waiting for...

I vote for my own thread, "The secret of Homosexuality"! ^_^ Btw, that thread never came up with anything that satisfied my curiosity, so it'll be going right back up again soon.
:D I'm nuthin' but pure GOLD
aren't I?

Now bring back Blacksword! Because I truly, truly love that guy. And Cliffjumper was pretty ace too. :o

Commander Shockwav.......

I hated that God damn mother ******* **** wad. He always acted like [composite word including 'f*ck'] **** load on a stick. If I ever met that ****head in some dark alley, I'd bash his emptyass head it with a ****** steel pipe, the shitbrain. Then I'd drag his sorryass down here and let you guys stick his ****** head up his ass faster than rabbits [composite word including 'f*ck'].

Every time I think a that bastard, I want to let him know how much I ****** hate every cell of his pissass body.

Sigh. He's a lucky bastard not to be here, I'll say that.

Bah. Even tho I consider those two fellows to be bleedin' amateurs compared to me, it is clear that I still for some inexplicable reason can't generate the same amount of emotion from my fellow Transfans. :(

Bah, humbug.
