I can think of 1, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17... other Prime threads that were better
Don't forget 2. It's prime goes unnoticed far too often.

And 1s prime is extremely debatable if not non existent.
thanks for the correction. merry xmas.
Some interesting points so far but now I'm wondering that in its prime, how would this thread stack up against the best of all time. Bare in mind that although in their prime some threads would beat this thread as it is now, this thread has yet to reach its Prime and with some good posts and a bit of luck it could go on to be an all time great.
Modern threads would all annihilate those older threads, even in their primes. The sport of posting has evolved so much.
Keep in mind that those older threads used to get knockouts with simple Rick Rolls, and modern threads don't even go for that technique anymore because everyone knows how to defend it.
Modern threads only look dominant, because the talent pool dried into a puddle. Older threads had more competition, so when one rose to the top, you knew that shit was amazing...as it had to stomp the fuck out of hundreds of solid, young, hungry threads to get there.
Plus, the game has changed with the introduction of dop(e)ing. Twitter and texting have made the overwhelming majority of posters, today, into raving morons that can barely read or write. To them, anything even mildly intelligible looks like a world-beater.

Talent pool hasn't dried up, but been watered down. And now that we're more mainstream, the rules are set up to favor the boring posters who never finish a thread. There are so many talented posters in the smaller forums that don't get any credit, but would stomp the hw's.
