Okay, then. How about two-word titles with at least 100 replies?

How could you forget “a” - it went on for how many billion pages?

ETA: hopefully someone has a link to it since it’s impossible to search for.

I didn’t forget it, but as I only listed those I had posted in, it failed that simple test.

For the truly BIG threads at SDMB, whether I posted to them or not, check out [The BIG Threads at SDMB](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=510321) which hasn’t been updated since Post #29 04-17-2009, 10:01 PM by **Esprix** so it’s likely behind in its accuracy.

Nevertheless, ++ [a](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=158752) ++ is mentioned there. Started 01-25-2003, 06:51 AM by **Klaatu** and continuing for 107 pages! 😃

True SDMB trivia fans might wish to locate the second-biggest thread.
