The introductory post by Ghost asked a good question - what threads to read to get a feel for the place.

So I’m asking - in each forum what are 2-4 threads which capture the essence of that forum?

In MPSIMS, I would say “Wally tries Cybersex”, “The Quitting Smoking Diary”, and “Guy Stuff” (although that’s archived & I don’t recommend anyone try to read through the whole thing)

Threads shouldn’t necessarily be archive worthy - just something that reflects that forum well.

I do not merely dance. I bewitch. I seduce. I enchant and I bewilder. Throw money.  
(Gee, Wally must have seen me dance!)

Hmm, if it has ‘evolution’ in the title, it probably defines GD…
