Quite possibly one of the best threads I've seen in a VERY long time (with zero offence to all the other quality, this one is just epic!).

Nice one Elven!

Well done Elven, I was wondering when you would come out with this thread... and where as well. Now you realise you have the responsibility for maintaining the list too :P Looking back through it all I really did miss some golden moments by not joining the forums sooner... curses.

I saw this thread, and was like "Whoa, new POTM archive! Sweet!"

Then I was scrolling down the replies, saw my post, and got an actual headspin from the sudden whack of momentary confusion.

I'm okay now, though, Thanks.
