It's not as much of a monster as the sci-fi quote thread.

Great idea. We should kind of keep watch and start working that way as the big post approaches. Maybe milli360 would do the honors at that point.

If it can be coordinated, I'm in, for sure. It'd be an honor.

But I have a feeling, like Mainframes, that it may not be stoppable.

PS: one of the quote-game threads is almost at a hundred pages

Isn't it easy that all the old polls are now collected together?

The BA did slay the real monsters, which were the 0.999=1.000 threads (I think there were 5 threads total before The Bannings/Unbannings occurred).

But he missed the big green WAG dragon that sits on your doorstep. He eats little boys... Puppy dog tails, and BIG FAT SNAILS!

I meant that ever since the Night of the Bannings, nobody has had the nerve to even view any of those posts. Woe to ye who dares to bump any of them.
