Each player puts together a team of their 8 (or 10? or 12?) favorite threads. Then teams are then faced against each other by random selection and we vote on our favorites until one team is left standing.

The idea is that this will be a fun way to rediscover old threads that brought serious lulz.

I'm pretty sure this is just a thread drafting tournament. It's not very complicated.

I feel like I would suck at this. But what the hell?! I might be willing to give it a shot.

Serious question... do you guys literally "laugh out loud" a lot when reading threads? Like how often? Rough percentage?

This tourney will sort the men from the boys. Wouldn't involve having read every thread though? and is it just general discussion threads or all forums?
wood for the trees yadda yadda

durden..they take this shit extremely seriously.

Not enough enthusiasm, then? I really just wanted a list of old classic threads to relive. Some of them just make me so impishly happy, particularly the ones involving PMA/tryin.
