I would like to nominate the original old posters thread.  It has been wonderful to see people back!

Jim made lots of posts on June 21st of last year.  I got 4 or 5 reported before I got a message saying I had to wait 2 minutes to report another one.  They are easy to find using his profile.

Got 'em all!  Well, got most of them.  There were two that didn't seem particularly vital to save. :D

Thank you for your vigilance, my good sir!

The now locked "I bet you can't ____________ " topic in the "Jim Himself" board ended up being supprisingly popular.  If I can get a few 2nds, I'd like to see it placed in the Display Case.

The DF books sticky "Perfect Casting, part 2" has hit 420 pages, might it be time for it to be retired and part 3 be stickied?

Serack, when FantaZero suggested that (trolling) there was a problem (see Fantazero posts in that thread, he was trolling to try to force that it was closed, and there was resistance).  There is now a new part 3 thread which upsets me.
But yes, maybe we can stop 2 now if the mods agree.

Meh, I'm not actively involved in either topics, I just boggled at the size of the sticky, and it made me think maybe Part 3 should get traction. (and part 2 be enshrined in the "Display case" hence the suggested replacement mentioned here).  It almost seems as though there might be some emotional attachment here.

LOL, I had not caught any edits, I said I agree with the fact that it is a big thread and could be cut.

My turn to edit. This is what I said in page 401 of part 2 thread, but in part 400 there was a defense of the thread.
Well, I don't like the trolling, but actually, a part 3 could be a good idea. I understand that the forum prefers smaller threads. The part 1 is linked in the first post of this thread. We could do a part 3 with a first post with links to 1 and 2.
