I accept and respect your identity as long as it's not dumb shit like "identifying as a vaccinated attack helicopter".

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.)

commenting on the Capitals clinching a playoff spot.

"That sounded stupid, didn't it?"
—Kolzig, to the same reporter a few seconds later.

It's definitely worth reading, if not for the :confused: factor. :)

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.

I don't even think that one is that stupid.

That might be part of the problem.

"Inactivity"  seems like it has a questionable premise.

Well nobody has made a joke about it in that thread.

Problem is, he didn't stay in one thread.

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.

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.

Quote from: Wiktionary1. That which comes from one's imagination.
https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/fantasy#Noun

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.

I have a plan to become a Fantasy Moderator and append this thread to the Alanland thread, and call it Larger Interstate 400.
