Either because of differing mod opinions, a change in the nature of the thread as it grows or for whatever reason has there ever been a thread on SMDB that was moved into 4 forums? 5 forums? More?

Sure, but I actually found the thread in most of those fora during the course of the day.  
It moved a _lot_!

Yes, the mods must have been high on something that day. Or it was all a joke. (Note also the reference in one of the posts to TubaDiva having a “BANNED” status at the time). But, technically, that thread did seem to get shuttled through all the fora here, so it satisfies the OP’s question.

Following that thread was a delight. Especially since the Usual Suspects got their panties in a bunch because the Mods were having a little fun. But I think that thread holds the record.

Excuse me, but doesn’t this question have a factual answer? Therefore doesn’t it belong in GQ?

Anyone? Buehler?

It’s a question about the message board itself, so it clearly belongs in ATMB.
