A Trip Down Memory Lane: WP's Most Memorable Threads

[Postman Dave]

​

Evening all.

Very recently, this good forum celebrated its 3rd Birthday. Yep, we are now a walking, talking infant and will soon be dumped at pre-school so our parents can get an hours peace for once.

In celebration, I will be going into the ol' Wayback machine and looking back at some of our more memorable threads during the last few years. So sit back, get a drink, and relax as we get all nostalgic.

Agree with this and I can't wait to see what LB pulls out of the bag.

Shall we begin? These are in no particular order......

Punks Watch Scary Movies At Midnight

This behemoth of a thread is the biggest in WP history. It all started with Scream and just snow balled from there, covering 9,680 posts in 18 months. The thread got so big in fact, that it needed to be retired in order to help the servers. Yes, if ever there was a solid show of community here, it would be this thread. I'm not a big horror fan myself, but god only knows how many movies you guys covered in there. Kudos to you all

We still have movies to watch like Hellraiser. This was a good time and it still is a good time and can't wait for others to join us in the fun for these movie LD's.

I'm trying to think of all the movies we watched for that thread and there's just so many that it's hurting my brain! Great start here, can't think of a better way to kick this thing off.

I wasn't here at beginning of the site, so I'm looking forward to learning more about this place through this thread.

Nice idea LB.

This place is beautiful. I've been here since October 2011 so I'm one of the more tenured members. Can't wait take a trip down memory lane courtesy of Linebacker.

The next choice is a favourite that saw a hive of activity in a usually quiet section.....

Superstar Draft League

Now, while I've linked the drafting thread in particular (which to be fair, is pretty awesome in it's own right. Got one period in there that saw 20 odd pages posted in one night), it's worth checking out the whole draft as it was all pretty damn sweet. [MENTION=71]Kushikimi[/MENTION] started the whole thing I believe in late December 2011, making it one of our oldest threads on the list too. So go lurk through the goodness, NOW.​

 

[Lover Boy]

I love the picture you used to represent that, The League is a incredible show.

I literally just spent an hour reading the first 600 comments of that thread : it was a good one for sure

Yeah, I read a load too whilst starting up this thread. Took a lot longer than it should have :

EDIT: Still reading through, Fuji Rice was a result of this

I just read about 1000 posts from that thread while I was nursing my hangover here in Mexico. Hilarious stuff for sure, brings back a ton of memories.
