I seem to recall there was one that I did about transforming forum members into objects.  It was a parody of a P13 thread and Scott locked it down after about a page.

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

I must find this thread. It sounds like a great read! Do you happen to know what the title was and the approximate year you posted it?

There was the one where someone posted an actual photo of a poop-covered stall.

Around whenever P13 got banned.  I'm sure it can be found on my profile if you look up topics I created.  I might give it a go if I open my lap top tonight.

The source thread for all the Mary Hannah memes.

Out of curiosity, how does tolbs17 have 27 posts as opposed to 0?

As for my answer, any of the MMM or Poiponen threads that quickly just degenerated, such as their containment threads, would work. Also the Perkins Union was just... weird. But the real answer is this: https://www.aaroads.com/forum/index.php?topic=31864

Where to begin?  So many to choose from.

Old posts from "CraShit"/"Lord Carhorn" ... "tolbs17" ... "Poiponen13" ... "Angelo71" ... "MMM" ...

Still remember the threads about "helicopters with graphing (sic) hooks" and "I-90 being a bootleg interstate".

Perkins Union was fun for the various crimes and punishments... all while OP was insisting Perkins Union was not a strict authoritarian state.

Well, there are cryptic thread titles with zero context:
"Shorpacked" lampshades roadgeeks

And overly specific thread titles:
Boxer Dog Memorials

And the completely inane:
I'm bored

And mysterious ones that went missing:
REMOVED: Women...

And, of course, the whole host of snarky parody threads started by Dan:
How many (and which) threads do you choose to ignore?

Or the ones started by Jake:
plan to split California into one state

And let's not forget all the off-the-wall threads that Tim starts:
Does thinking about roads send you to the bathroom?

But perhaps the oddest thread title is this one:

Also, by decree of the Grand Unified Alan published in the Quindaro Gazette, it is also the evenest forum thread.
