definitely.

Oooooohh yea......

I not so certain that 'long' threads neccesarily = classic. The ability to create 7 pages of rampant spam is not neccesarily an accomplishment I would like to be advertised about this community

But it was funny spam. Most fun I've ever had on HLP.

The other Classics were spam. Seriously. I'm thinking the admins/mods don't want to add some of these thing because they don't 'feel' classic simply because people like Thunder and Fantomeye aren't around.

Both are excellent and hilarious spam, making them classics in my mind. I'd like if both were crowned "classic".

Reading Mobius' post in And they hurled themselves into the void of spam with no fear... made me crack up laughing big time.  , mostly because i'd just finished playing a few missions in FS1.

These threads are still better choices than some of the stuff currently in there.

[Goober5000]

Like what?

The one with the Vasudan AWACs being raped.

[colecampbell666]

The 360 threads.

How is that possibly classic anyway?

[CP5670]

The Russian laughter, moon landings, fake FS3 and torpedos threads are either redundant, not all that funny or simply links to something else on the internet that has no connection to HLP.

I can actually think of one or two others that might make decent candidates.

[Flipside]

The 'Poor Setekh' one loses something in the translation, there were pictures involved. Basically, it's all that was left of a very classic thread indeed.

As for the others, they were from General Discussion, and are general discussion, they don't stray too far off topic throughout, and were first of a kind, like the Torpedoes thread, it's not that they are 'great' in content, but they were 'unique'. The Fake FS3 one is classic because the person who edited the image of the XBox 360 list to include Freespace 3 was Goober5000, and it was caught up by the gaming press as serious. I'd say that is more than a little classic.

I'm not vehemently against the Bumper-sticker one, though I think it would need pruning, but certainly the void of Spam should remain in the pit.

[CP5670]

The original one ("Leaked list...") is excellent, but the fake FS3 one seems a bit pointless on top of that. They essentially cover the same incident. I guess you could make a case for it though. Still, the other three are nothing out of the ordinary.
