OK post some of your favourite threads, TBers and moments from TB history.

Mine would include the Ban Wars and my 'I've got sick on my Shergold' thread.

The first day I joined was amazing.



It all went down hill from there.

My experience has been more of a bell curve. I first came here out of curiosity. Then, for a few months, it was a lot of fun. Now, morbid curiosity is all that brings me back.

Without a doubt it was the success of the 2008 International GTG.

I missed the time when "tasteless threads" were allowed. There' was something ultimately fun in those...

Morf comes to mind.

Also, wasn't there a painfully fully thread about a bird and a vacuum cleaner?

Well, I haven't been hear near as long as most TBers and am probably not as active on the forums but...

...my favorite threads were the ones that ultimately lead to atoz getting his own emoticon.

That was pretty cool and comical TB journey.

Asking BigMikeW what God said to him about the FMO charity. That still keeps me warm on cold nights.

I'll second that, I miss ol' Morfy.

The photoshop threads are infinitely enjoyable to me though. Love em!
I also miss when things were a little looser around here....seems too constrained and such now

Things were more fun when "tasteless" threads wern't locked in 5 minutes. Some of them were a hoot!

I miss TB being more fun.

Heck, it's now more P.C. than Captain Planet!

Miss a lot of the members who are no longer with us too

I've only been around for a short while, but the Atoz emoticon and the photoshop threads were really funny.

The infamous crossdressing thread was also interesting in a "bad episode of Cops" kind of way.
