I went looking for a Trash Talk thread the other day and noticed there are some real gems out there created this year. Most threads die after a page or two, but there are some I think should be revisited whether they be helpful, informative, or just cool. I'm limiting this to threads started in 2010 to preserve my sanity.
Breaking my 2010 rule slightly, if only because this was the year that these finally spawned their own category, the Mos Eisley Cantina. The XXXX's range from bands, music, tv shows, movies, and of course games of board and video stripes. The YYYY's might be buying, playing, listening to, reading, &c. The content in them ranges from basically "Tweet" level updates to full-blown reviews. They are, for me, the best way to keep up with the community and they make me feel like Norm walking into Cheers at the end of the day. Or the middle part around lunch. Or before breakfast.
F:AT Arms Trade #4: Logan's Trade
WOW. 198 items! ONE HUNDRED AND NINETY EIGHT. Mind you, we don't have a karma system, or a real enforcement mechanism, and international members from all over the place and a Math Trade got 198 items from 19 users. That's amazing. I hope the next one goes as well because I fucked up my wants last time and got Stratego instead of Hammer of the Scots....
