PCFormat Forum Archive

I just hate having a bunch of links (to threads on the forum) in my favourites.
I sometimes forget the location of some and most days a search
doesnt always point me in the right direction. So why not have a thread listing
all of interesting threads? So I thought of starting such a thread.

So, do you know of a thread (on this forum of course) worthwhile visiting?
Pm me or post here and I'll add it to the list below.

---===NB: Posting guidelines===---

1. Post the thread's full name and hyperlink it to the 1st page.
2. Give a short summary if possible.
3. Also make it clear under what category it should go.
For example...
Computers
---------
(For overclocking)
OverClocking

---===NB: Posting guidelines===---


PS. The list is far from complete and I'll try to add at
least 1 great/interesting/worthwhile (Or fairly interesting) thread a day...

For those interested, the title I borrowed from "jee's list of great websites", though not the idea.
I wanted to make a thread containing other threads long before I found hers...

Like I said, the list is FAR from complete (and I only visited about 1% of the forum) so send them great threads...

Peace
SoulBlade

EDIT: Sticky threads are now shown in the colour red.

Made Sticky! - Anakha56

Think its a great idea can have a suggestion though make it two...

1. make it so you aren't able to repbly to this thread.. (lock it) so that you don't and up with pages of replies making it tedious to read...

2. as much as you update the list you should also keep it balanced in the sense make the list a certian size... a list 2 big makes it also tedious...

like a said these are just suggestions to make this idea work better. i think it is an awesome idea!!!

Good points you make there Cupis.
1. Hmm, I'll have to pm a mod to unlock it and vica verca.
Posters will have to pm me.
My pm box might be to full to handle the influx.
However I like the idea. But I for one don't bother reading locked threads. What does the other members have to say about this?
I don't mind whichever way the vote swings

2. Check So Who’s a Programmer On The Forum?. I could just list the thread links next to each other. (Like I did with the user names)
One way or another, in 1 years time its going to become long anyway

tru i don't know bout the locked idea but to keep it neat might have a very sefule effect... and we should delete all this diddy daady that we typing her now... but wait till after we have decided on the thread layout..

but back to 1

1 just somehow to make sure people don't just flood the thread with useless comments etc

"So Who’s a Programmer On The Forum?" yes that thread good too... i don't know i find these sorta threads useful i don't want to read what else goes on... i don't know need to work it somehow

Too bad my 2 girls kissing thread got deleted.

That would have definitly made this list

updated...

Small update
* Made the list shorter.
* Added a few threads.

Where's everyone with some good hidden threads?

3 threads that i can think of but cant find the link for 2 of them...

Knights of the Round Table, if you have the pride the Knights should be there.

Thread for the not so easily offended.

Creation vs Evolution.

One I enjoy reading...

Oh noes, not another Leigh fanboy. Let that woman and her thread about her hatred of anime RIP.

Or you could start your own one

No way in hell! I'm nobodys fanboy. I only like that thread because there are so many of these damn anime threads and I feel like the only person here that strongly dislikes (:P) anime.

Starting my own one is tempting but I think all the anime people would get their ( . Y . ) in a tangle...

I am thinking of starting a thread about how guys who like Dolce & Gabbana are gheylords...

Do you think it's a good idea, or would it be too controversial?

On a serious note though, I think the anime peeps on this forum are grown up enough now to accept that not everybody here likes anime, so if another thread like this is started I doubt it would cause as much havoc as that one did.

HAHAHAHHAHAHAH! Off with you now! Run along to Mr Price!

Hmm I won't take your word on that just yet. I'm sure there are still many of them who will... as I said... get their ( . Y . ) in a tangle. There are nights where the "Last 15 Chillout...relax messages" are littered with anime this anime that manga this mange that. grrr

BWAAAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAH!!!! Frikken OWNED!!!! LOL!!!



Anyway, i wasn't a member here when that thread was around, but i too dislike anime. I used to love it, but then i turned 12.

What happened when you turned 12, DAE

You learned how to read?

HAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!

Jamin = 1
DAE = 0

@DJV: I really dont mind! ya'll can dress like this:




Its a personal choice I suppose!

On topic: Good idea for the thread soulblade. If it becomes popular enough it should be made sticky.

EDIT: Didnt have a category for Jamin...

You mean you couldnt find a pic of a fat guy in a track-suite
You guys are weak....

Haha... I was thinking the same thing... would be pointless in loosing this thread too right...

But in the end, this is going to be a bit of a suggestive thread, also, what happens if one of the threads becomes dorment for six months... first n00b to join sees ah, Pentium 4 to hit stores in a month thread, lets reply...

Hmm, I leave the forum for 15 hours and look what happens to the thread.

O, jamin, DAE and the gang is here...That explains everything.
Just kidding, NOT.

Thx for the input guys.

PS. I think Members of Wits End thread rocks! Where do I sign up?
PS2. Will update at about 12 pm or 5 pm today.
