Classic Dope.
In here, we will put cherished, outstanding Doper stories, such as all the chapters of **Broomstick’s ** Zit from Hell , **Sauron’s ** immortal ode to the Pink Blankie and **Scylla’s ** Attack of the Killer Blimp , just to name a few.
This way, the stories are preserved for easy access and we don’t have to hunt for them. Perhaps we can have a nomination/voting procedure of some sort, where a story doesn’t make it in unless X number of Dopers nominate it (X to be determined by the SDMB ghods).
Doable?
What happens if the person whose thread it was considers it an embarrassment, and would prefer it to remain locked away up in the Attic, rather than trotted out and put on display for new generations to marvel at?
What happens if other people who participated in the thread consider their post(s) an embarrassment, and would prefer it not be resurrected?
I was thinking of having it here rather than on TM.
As far as embarrassment posts go, if they wrote it, they wrote it. Once the toothpaste is out of the tube and all that.
I dunno, I doubt TPTB would be willing to do the extra work for something easily done by a Command-B by those who care.
Anyway, every so often, someone will start a “What are the funniest/best threads ever on the SDMB”, which tend to get a lot of good responses. Bookmark a couple of those and you’ll be covered.
Watershed moments in SDMB history; or, the SDMB Anthology Project is a good one.
There’s also Threadspotting. Whenever I’m looking for one of those golden oldies, I search through Threadspotting before attempting the message board search engine.
