Reading the Lince PSN message thread: damn that's a good thread. Almost better than JBaird in that it's way shorter and has way less people, so you can clearly tell what's happening.

Everything that's wrong with subcommunities also shows up in that people argue that it has to be fake because "Lince wouldn't act like that, I know him" to the fucking end of that thread.

I don't know about historic but, one of the funniest was the thread tt_deeb had made when he was going to have sex and uhh ... didn't know if he got it in or not at first or at all if I remember correctly. Then he got slapped with the awesome "Negative. Negative. It just impacted on the surface." tag. It seems the thread had been a victim of Great Google Purge© :(

Too bad those old fanta movies are gone.

edit: also, why don't I have my "cut the green wire" tag

He's actually a pretty cool dude, too.

His attitude swayed the thread to the better as soon as he appeared, and didn't it all close on a pretty positive note?

I couldn't say. I've only done a little skimming of the thread itself in the past - felt really awkward doing so.

I remember reading that thread. People were basically piling on him, waiting to take their shots. "Because of the curve" turned into a meme here for a while and there was no backlash whatsoever in the thread for the way people treated him and no mod has put a stop to it - some even joined in. Maybe the thread did close on a more positive note, I never finished reading it. It was one of GAF's lower points.

And they weren't attacking him for stealing stuff from GAF.

The one thread where the dude gives some other dude that he works with a blowjob then his office finds out and makes fun of him. It was his first gay experience or some shit.

That dude's detective work and the subsequent demodding of Amir0x was pretty epic, too.

Real talk: Amir0x was taken out by the RBGAF illuminati.

Megaton and it's ilk. Thursdayton? Man the Nintendo fanboys got killed there for a while.

Grubdog (?) took his revenge though and Australia was banned from GAF for a while.

FoxspiritShadow. Meltdown total. He always made long thought out posts like Loki though.. a lot of that style of GAF is gone now. It's people just posting to be the first poster or get some pun off. You get a lot of threads where you enter and it's just aggravating because tons of people didn't click the link or bother reading the OP. It seems they just want to speak so their voice is heard but without anything useful to read. Just a response to whatever is the threat subject title. Which, I guess, is why people want to make the thread titles with as much shock value as possible. Dont' get me wrong, I'm no great shakes myself but I at least try to read the OP/link before contributing to the discussion.

That E3 one where people were invited to a party being sponsored by a company and then ended up with the tab was kinda funny.

I miss Caturday. :(
 
When I was lurking, there was an amazing thread about some bouncer who worked at strip clubs and he would tell disgusting and awesome stories :lol

Anyone remember this thread?

Remember when another gaming forum ripped off the GAF TOS word for word, then people found their way into the forum owners photobucket, and found dragon furry porn pictures. Shit was fucking hilarious.

The Beyblades thread...

I think I laughed for at least 10 minutes reading through that entire thread.

Thanks for making my night!

Anyone have the XMas Wallpaper Tails pic?

man, jbaird, beyblade and vigilant walrus thread were what first came to mind, but im glad you reminded me of some of these others. what great threads. i remember following the jbaird thread for basically a full day of work. and i still reread the beyblade thread from time to time; also i bought and played the ps1 game in tribute to that thread.

RIP Costanza. What a sad, sad little man he is

are we allowed to ask what happened here? i hear this referred to occasionally but have no idea why he was banned. what was it for and what was going on in the rock band thread?

The bump of the millennium is still my favourite.

Shamefully the image doesn't work any more. It also shows off some typical ManaByte fail.

part of whats funny about this is that the guy has like ten total posts on gaf.


i was about to mention this one but thought it happened in a thread. i didnt realize it was its own thread.
 
The Fistful Natalie Portman thread was hillarious. It happened before I even started lurking and I never understood why people always mentioned Fistful whenever Portman came up until someone linked me to the thread.

On Gaming side the Zelda Williams Twitter shout out to Chinner and the hilarity that ensued was awesome.

It's also quite swell how he tried to act all dignified-like in the end in an effort to... I don't know, save some face, maybe?

If I am ever exposed like that I would never show my face again but I suppose everyone has their own limits of shame.

It's certainly a memorable event though.

I personally enjoyed the very happy GAF History Lesson thread that is now kept in the archives.
