Streamer priority confirmed. PoE is free to play, so play it for free, but Boycott GGG.

Not the most legendary, but damn, it is up there.

It will be interesting to see how much effect, if any, that D2R and New World being released will have on the next League Vanity Metrics.

Hmm what would be the most legendary? "For try, for see, and for know?" I think that might get my vote.

There are a couple of others where Rory or Mark obliterate a community member, which were good for laughs, but again, nothing beats the honest "I wasn't cheating, I was just checking it out."

Turtledove's antiLab thread is probably the closest to modern legendary (and I really liked the Lab) but having been here since fairly close to the beginning, I believe the antiFFA drops thread was actually The Big One. Came close to or even cleared 1k pages and resulted in the biggest player-demanded change to the game to date. A change that really did change everything.

Second place would be the one that pondered what devourers really look like.

But thanks for the jolt here. Despite my belief in everything I've said, I can't bring myself to self bump aggressively. Unlike some, I do not view ego as a positive trait...flipside of that being I tend to confuse confidence and arrogance in myself and so err on the side of caution.

I don't know exactly when an inactive thread is autolocked but I hope this one avoids that most lazy of moderation tools for as long as it remains relevant.

I also hope it doesn't remain relevant.

The most memorable thread for me was the sky is falling thread. It still holds true to this day. It got locked though.

Yikes, it sure is disheartening to read about GGG's discriminatory practices.
Unfortunately, Chris' response seems like more of a "sorry we got caught" sort of thing by trying to make excuses.

Hopefully they'll try to be a more ethical company in this upcoming league!

Thank you so much for reminding me of that one. I had to laugh out loud just at the mention of it!

Just perusing the thread.

One the note about the Father's Day gift - Finding gifts for my Dad is always tough, partly because he really doesn't like anyone spending money on him and partly because there isn't anything he really needs. When I do find a gift that he really likes, it is more rewarding than finding a mirror in Path of Exile.

A few years ago, it was finding a book from an old series that he was missing.

Same! That was an incredible thread.

Dads bday is coming up and coincides with certain easing of restrictions down here so I'm very much looking forward to seeing him in person. We had a really rocky relationship when i was a kid but he has since reconciled himself to my basic harmless uselessness so...yknow, that is gift enough for the both of us I think.

Is this my 'sky is falling' thread? Pretty sure I have made more dramatic ones over the years. There is an end coming and I don't think it will have anything to do with GGG's symbiotic streamer behaviour. I think, rather ironically, PoE will be collateral damage. A little smear on the windshield keeping a lot of larger ones company.

I hope it's a long way off. So far off that maybe things will change by then.

Maybe it's all just posturing. Maybe.

The sky isn't falling. It's just going to rain, I think, and wash the itsy bitsy spiders out. And their skeletons. And their blood. And their inappropriate content.

I really liked the Goddess Scorned riddle thread. That was a high point for me in my PoE experience. Probably one of the highest. Seeing everyone come together to experiment and puzzle and discuss. Being able to facilitate that felt...fucking awesome.
