Hey Taverners!

I will be creating a thread/archive of memorable threads primarily from the Tavern, Support and Suggestions, and Popular Media. I will not be accepting politically or religiously charged or controversial threads from WEPR because those discussion never die and aren't very Armor Gamesy. All other sections will be considered, except for AMW, which will have its own memorable thread archive.

Here are a few criteria for selection:
- Must not be active
- Must not be exclusive
- Must not be your own
- Must be memorable

The thread will be created at a later date. It doesn't have a name yet, so feel free to suggest names. Also, please link to the thread(s) you are nominating.

I can't really find anything else worthy.

The middle two threads are not remarkable at all. The last one is too recent.

It's times like these that make me realize I've been here for a while.

Here are a few, but the first one especially. The rest I'll dig up at some other time.

The ranks are iron, not silver.

Not so much notable as memorable. Probably leave these off.

Why, I must ask, are they all https links? The "secure content" is slowing the pages up.

It just happened that way. I don't really notice http/https when I click on a link through Google.

Was show your face to AG in the AMW?

It's clear you're only including those two because of their age, they are nothing special whatsoever.

Show Your Face was in the AMW but was more a Tavern thread than anything.

There's nothing special about a lot of threads. The one's I am listing are mostly memory markers that map the different eras of AG. I'm just pulling up ones I remember that haven't been deleted. Otherwise, I'd just include all the large threads that are old.

TTICA wasn't deleted forever. It just wasn't fully restored.



We did manage to lose some great threads. Like we no longer have the Breakfastarianism thread. I don't know if someone deletes them or they get eaten up by the servers. And spamming was never the same or better in the past. It was much much worse.

And now a trip down memory lane...

Not to double post, but I suppose you haven't been here long enough to realize, it's always been this way.

We go through a half year or so of mad activity, then activity falls, then it peaks, then it falls, and each time, some users stay. That's how you get a community. We'll have another surge of people. And when we do all the people still here from the past peaks will complain about how annoying the new comers are. It's how it works.

Thanks Gantic for putting that list up.

Reading this thread makes me feel a bit nostalgic... It's been four years and I agree with XVERB. But Skater is right, and that's the way it goes. I still have TTICA's topic history lying around somewhere, but I can't be bothered with it.
