I'm sure there's worse but https://www.aaroads.com/forum/index.php?topic=21625 has to be up there.
Unfortunately I can no longer say "This one."
Unfortunately, my curiosity usually gets the best of me and I still at least take a look at the garbage anyway. X-(
Since I haven't read the thread, I don't know for sure if it's the dumbest, but the subject line suggests it may be: https://www.aaroads.com/forum/index.php?topic=21081.0
(How did I get the URL if I never clicked it? Right-click and then copy the link. I construe "clicked" in NE2's post to mean a thread you've actually viewed.)

It's definitely worth reading, if not for the :confused: factor. :)
Everything about bubble gum.
Oh, wait, I clicked on all of those. :pan:
This is the dumbest one I have clicked. Never clicked, I am too curious.
I've never clicked on the one in the OP (other than just now to see which one it was). For the most part, I'm too curious. Some of the threads are definitely in "so bad, it's good" territory.

That might be part of the problem.
"Inactivity" seems like it has a questionable premise.

At least the screeching about most of it has died off. So many people screamed at Fritz when he debuted his original Yellowstone interstate plan you would think they were all that stood between his imagination and an 8-lane freeway paving over Old Faithful.

Fantasy literally means unrealistic.
This thread.
(I didn't click the thread, I clicked the link leading to the thread.)
Alanland. Never touched it. And don't regret it, either.
That said, the aforementioned FritzOwl and Roadgeekteen fantasy threads certainly rank up there. Unfortunately, both have hijacked other more legitimate threads from other posters so I technically cannot include those here under the OP's criteria.
At least RGT generally keeps his ideas in the topic of the region being discussed. Fritz usually hijacks a discussion saying how a corridor in Ohio or Illinois being discussed becomes part of his plan to extend routes to California or Cuba or Buenos Aires.

False.

One can have fantasies of things that are realistic.
There are many threads that pop up as "new" that I never click on just because curiosity is lacking. Most of the regional boards I have yet to click on because I haven't been there and won't be there for a very long time.

Same with me, if I don't know or have interest in threads about an interchange in Utah or something like that I won't click.

Fantasy Moderator just sounds like a really boring Fantasy Football. Make sure you draft US 71 this season. His account approval percentages are incredible.

US 71 is pretty safe as an incumbent global moderator.
On the other hand, Fictional Highways Moderator has an open seat, so a special election is required. I am running for that seat.

Was Fictional Highways all that great to begin with? Every now and then someone comes up with something worth pondering like Rover_0. The vast majority of topics have been either common complaints about overburdened roadways or are FritzOwl level of child-like fantasy.

Our roads will be great, we will be winning again! Right now, we are not winning! With all of our roads being built over seas, those DOTs are reaping the rewards and not us (Fictional Highways). If you vote for me, I will cut taxes on construction materials to make sure we can build as many roads as possible!

Great Lakes (home region), general, fictional, off-topic. I have a couple threads in fictional, otherwise I just come to see the daily carnage. I don't really venture much into the other regional boards because I don't know those areas enough to contribute or really grasp their needs.
I read all the boards, but the ones I'm most likely to click on threads from are Suggestion and Questions, General Highway Talk, Road Enthusiast Meetings, Northeast, Mid-Atlantic, Canada, International Highways, Travel, Weather, and Off Topic.
