New section - Classic threads

Sorry people, just trying to get my mind of the game tonight.

I was on another forum earlier and came across a section called 'Classic Threads'. I had read of some of those threads and thought it was a bloody good idea.

This forum has been around long enough to have a few candidates for classic thread section. (i will have a look through and nominate some later)

Obviously the thread will have run its course, be locked then moved to the new section. So threads like WWBPTJ, just a lil tip jay jay, and the realworld don't qualify because they are ongoing.

In fact the shorter the thread the better, IMO.

So do you guys thinks its a good idea? either way please vote.

and if you have any nominations for classic threads, put them in here, with a link (if possible)

And mods could you tell us if its actually possible to set up this section?

The opinion of a mod about this, as 99'9% of the times, is as important as anyone else's.

This idea has been raised several times, both as threads and posts. And I think it's a good idea.

For me a forum is the valuable info of it, both footie wise and humour wise. It's a pitty that good threads or posters gets forgotten due to time, and thread prunning (some systems delete very old posts).

Drummerphil's threads, an old mans concerns about LFC (cannot remember his nickname redoldeyes?) and others, for instance.

The only problem I see is how to decide which are classics, but I guess it can be done.

simple.

don't make it democratic. Just get SS to move the threads.

I'm not saying we have loads of classic threads, but at this stage maybe 3 or 4.

it that thread:
From Lando
Oh, I can't believe I forgot to do this!!!!! 

LittleWiganer, Littlew*nker, Littlet*wat, or whatever your name is:

Get real you silly a*se. If you seriously expect your team (which has done extrememly well and accounted for themselves magnificantly) to beat us 3-0, then you are in for a shock.
I realise that your tiny, tiny brain is using all of it's delapidated cells just to allow you to write your cack, but here's a bit of reality for you:

YOUR TEAM IS GOING TO GET BITCHSLAPPED ON SATURDAY.

Unless we lose, ofcourse!!!!! 



From The Manhattan Project
AC Milan once thought they would stuff Liverpool FC too.

It didn't exactly turn out that way.

That's why LFC wear five golden stars on their shirt, while Wigan wear five brown pork pies on theirs.



:D

I like it. Maybe the new section could have a thread dedicated to pics and captions.

Of course we will have to let Jmac put his 'Dr Who' picture there or there'll be trouble.   :D

Still a good idea. If the request is not attended, this might be the "official" thread to remember classic threads.
