Since the “hall of fame” thread has dropped from the front page, and its links are all from old software, I thought I’d start a new thread to nominate links for Threadspotting.
My suggestion is the current Great Debate on would win a battle of Enterprise vs. Star Destroyer. Although discussing the relative military attributes of the spaceships and commanders from Star Trek and Star Wars is perhaps the ultimate exercize of unadulterated geek brainpower, the way in which it is being discussed is a true sign of why the SDMB is great. The participants are intent on using published sources on the ships 'characteristics and reasoned scientific hypothesis to defend their points of view. The discussion is way beyond where I could do anything to contribute to it, except to nominate it for wider recognition.
(I’d also like to renew my request for an archive of Threadspotting and Wierd Earl’s, but obviously that can wait on the debugging of the new and improved SDMB.)
