Eye The Best of the BD'ers

I’ve been thinking about this since I started to post a little bit here again, I was looking through the few posts I had made and looking back find that some of them (made by a younger less wise me) made me laugh. Now I know the Memorial of Members thread is similar, but my idea is that as apossed to lamenting the abscess long gone members, instaed to show everyone what made them so great and so enjoyable to interact with. ", a compendium of greatness. The best post you’ve seen someone make. Sort of a "hall of fame" if you will. This is what it is, so Quote that old post that you still remember from long ago, or the lighting whit that someone showed, and let’s get on with it!

Anyway It's only a suggestion for a thread IF of course that the Mod’s think that this is a acceptable idea.

Three posts in and we already appear to be off-topic. Oh, do keep up, gents

Puzzled: does this relate to quotes, or members, or, hey, both? There do appear to be some rather similar threads actually, buried deep in the Downs...

Ghost Posts: Lines with a longer shelf-life than most thread elements (Bethberry)

What do you like about people? (Naurwen_of_Lothlorien)

Best Post of the Week (Bethberry)

To the merriment (Eomer of the Rohirrim)

They're all worthy threads - worthy, in fact, of bringing up again, if anyone feels the inclination - and all deal with pretty similar aims as this one, especially the first, dealing with particular quotes/posts, and the second, dealing with people. Oh, and then there's Favourite Roleplaying Characters, which is in fact focused more on members than characters, and was a thread I quite enjoyed reading. I'm not doing any RPGing currently - shame, really - but this is such a good idea, as I'm sure any other addicted RPGers would agree

Amazing what fossils and gems you can find amongst the old bones...

Not at all: it wasn't my aim to attack you, or the idea of the thread! I just remembered a few threads from the distant past (look at some of the dates on the threads - we're talking really pretty darn distant, I was trawling...) which struck me as being similar.

Hey, it's a good idea - after all, if it wasn't, why would there be several other very good threads based on the same on? And besides, it allowed me to unearth some of my favourites...

Since those threads to which Aman linked (thanks!) have been dormant for a long time, it's fine to have a new one, Beleg. You can look back to the past entries to see what members who are no longer around have contributed. I hope lots of newer members will post on this thread - preferably on topic!
