Like the title says! Inspired by the thread about memorable forum members who no longer post here, because I'm a newbie in terms of posting and want to see what some of the fuss is about when people reference memorable threads and posters. So please share any good links in this thread, thanks.

It ran for ages and people were getting well mad.It was a wind up,but many many people didn't realise.
A work of art.:D
People who reply in earnest to an obvious wind-up and would rather believe the wind-up merchant than those trying to get them to see they've been had really make me laugh. It's like they are so embarrassed at the thought of being proved wrong or are so emotionally invested in some troll drama they don't want anyone to silence it.
I've been taken in by a couple of wind-up merchants but I just laugh it off when I realise I've been had. I don't get people who refuse to listen to reason and continue believing the WUM when it's so obviously fantasist nonsense.
In the most memorable forum members thread I asked if I should start this thread and a few people said to go for it. Sometimes it's hard finding really good or obscure stuff without any pointers.
It's dead easy to go 'fishing' on here.Throw in the odd bit of bait here and there,sit back and wait for the biters.
There have been some outrageous wind ups on here.Even involving death,cancer,wife beating.
Peoples black humour knows no bounds.:eek:

That's years old, though...
Oh...
What about this one from last year.

And about the same we had a poster called Samuel L who couldn't string together a sentence or spell to save his life, and was a complete petrol-head despite owning a Peugeot diesel that he wrecked in a silly accident that entertained us for weeks.
And again around that time Arthur Grainger used to come on here and tell us how great DAB Radio was and how,it would take over the nation with interactive screen displays that we'd prod with a finger to download recipes, tracks or pictures of our favourite band and how the sound quality was way better than FM (yeah right Arthur) and FM was a dead duck.
Happy days.
One of the funniest was 83ray1. He got into some hilarious pickles. I still miss him.
And people bumping the threads, just to be in the thread.
Biffo, that was classic.
Ian.
You ought to check out chat with other Christians, that had affairs and everything. I also vaguely remember something to do with this guy trying to track down these women that were checking him out walking down the street. He decided to pull up the location on google streetview with an 'artists impression' of what happened, which was basically two stick people drawn onto some random street!

just reading it now its hilarious
It went on for about 4 pages before anybody really noticed the end part and realised he was just a paranoid smackhead.
It's a useful link, don't get me wrong - but there could be lots of comedy between 2009 and 2013 I've missed out on!
Comedy ended in 2010, the threads mentioned so far are in the link I posted.
