Which Threads Should Be Included in the General Discussion Classics?

AI Thread Summary
The General Discussion classics thread has been reopened to gather suggestions for threads to include, with an emphasis on not letting valuable discussions fade away. Participants are encouraged to submit their favorite threads, including those from the "Random Thoughts" section, which have previously sparked laughter and engagement. Despite the nostalgia for past popularity, there appears to be a lack of current interest in maintaining the Classics thread as a sticky feature. The thread highlights memorable posts, such as humorous anecdotes involving mishaps and pranks, underscoring the community's desire to preserve these classic moments. A poll is currently open to gauge interest in the thread's future.

And don't be shy! If the great thread is yours, submit it! Also, if it was a post in "Random thoughts", those can also be submitted! Let's not lose those classics! I know many a post in Random Thoughts made me spew. :-p

I'll keep the poll open a couple more days.
