Best threads over the last 6 years?

I liked "How Deep Was the Spartan Pit?" from Comic Book and Hero/Villain Culture, at least the early part of the thread that discussed things like Spartan diplomat training, which was said to involve kicking a heavy weight back and forth while yelling as loudly as possible. In my daily life, I occasionally refer to Hate Pits.

Jock Tamson's "In the Beginning" thread of defender mythology is good, too, but I believe that has been stickied.

I, too, have enjoyed the Sister Flame thread.

No, that's this one, but they get mixed up often:

I just found/bumped two of my old favorites:

"In the beginning" by Jock_Tamson
and
Did you know... The unofficial history thread

EDIT: via search, had forgotten that Jock's was stickied.

Eh, I forgot to check that. Plus, who actually reads the stickies in the boards?

Nobody. There have to be over a hundred of them, and some are several years old.

Nice going on those bios, Wes--I was beginning to think we'd lost them forever.


There are no words for what this community, and the friends I have made here mean to me. Please know that I care for all of you, yes, even you. If you Twitter, I'm MrThan. If you're Unleashed, I'm dumps. I'll try and get registered on the Titan Forums as well. Peace, and thanks for the best nine years anyone could ever ask for.

Nothing is ever really lost on the internet.

Except for the CoH emoticons.

Back in the day there were posts by someone named 'Not A Troll' or something. They were quite amusing.

I still want all the City of Hero emoticons. Especially since we can image-link, now.

In any case, the forums of late have been dramatically improved overall.

I gotta give pops to the Rude Tell thread and "Did You Know...?" thread.


The Elementals - Brother Frost and Sister Flame

Who Is Sister Flame?

Bounty out for kill. The thread so large that the Mods had to lock it to save the rest of the forums. Not only is it great in its "Gone to the Americans" absurdity, the OP swings by once in a blue moon to make posts that imply that he started all of this on purpose.

Definitely epic. There's an entire social group dedicated to keeping that thread alive.

Edit: I'd nominate the first thread I ever made, wherein I requested certain changes to the game. It was both the advent of the greatest thing to happen to any of you... and the origin of the rumor that I'm a lesbian.

The poster is most likely unaware of it but I read that thread before I became a father and it was one of the few things that reassured me that I was going to be ok as a dad. I look forward to my daughter getting old enough to maybe follow in Sister Flame's footsteps.

And whenever I get the inevitable 'healer' tell on my Defenders, I turn to Dead Calm's Defender Manifesto:

Still makes me laugh even now.
Ta chums!

My favourites would have to be either The_Question's comic strips on the old EU boards, or any one of a number of TheMightyStorm's guides, such as the R U H34lar? FAQ (http://boards.cityofheroes.com/showthread.php?t=113554) which inspired my manifesto in no small way.

I remember the title of the thread: "*sigh* Some people don't WANT to play this game..."

Also, while I never managed to participate in any of it, what happened to the Ask A Stupid Question thread? Is it still around?

(Also Miss_Kitty's Litterbox thread.)

Well, the Guide is still around, at least. I have an entry.

ah, its all cool! Its our 6th birthday after all. I stated no stickies so that we'd not get bogged down in them exclusively, but would dig into the stacks of quality old stuff.

Westley, thanks for posting the "Deth Kiks" pic!

This thread is turning out better than I'd ever hoped. Some great stuff resurfacing! I'd forgotten about the War Mace + Energy Aura picture. great laugh!

Someone already mentioned it, but this has to be seen to be believed:

Or, just read the highlight:

This is it!!! After many months of deliberation and speculation! and paparazzi beating down my door people asking me to come up with the greatest Fire kin build ever and them wanting me to post it here well here it is the highley demanded "Fire Kin Master X" Yes i am releasing my build to the public YES you to can farm anything with this build and eat 54s anything for breakfast. There are NO flaws in this build also there is not a better "Fire Kinetics Build" that will top this many will try but many will FAIL. Also you will need about 5,000,000,000-6B Influence in-order to create this build. once you have created the build and you want to test it. go to my AE mission "Fire Kin Master's AE" "355455" and test it BUT make sure your solo difficulty is on 50+4x8+Bosses+AV's or you wont get the full spawn count there if you can solo that you can solo anything...Have fun and your welcome.

I still haven't figure out if it was a spoof or the real deal.
