What was your most interesting / amusing thread on SD.

Question

This was mine

It started on the topic of long sentences in Spanish and ended - by common consent - with religion.

What was the most memorable thread that you posted?

This is a previous similar thread.

That was a very interesting thread. :) - rac1, Jun 24, 2014

I agree, it was. - 007c5fc1, Jun 24, 2014

Wow- all that from posting "A long Spanish sentence" for translation . . . - Esteban_317, Jun 25, 2014

Can you say, overkill?? - rac1, Jun 25, 2014

Answer 1

Doing celebration threads for rogspax Roger's 50K celebration thread and GabriellaMonique Gabriella M. 10 K tribute

Learning about Roger and Gabriella while prepping for the threads was very interesting. After my post to kick it off - it was equally interesting to see what others would say about them, and to see the way in which they created their congratulatory posts for them.

That is the fun of this thread amigo. - ian-hill, Jun 25, 2014

I remember both of those, you did a fabulous job. - 007c5fc1, Jun 25, 2014

Wow You really got some lively responses! - Esteban_317, Jun 25, 2014

Answer 3

My amount of started threads is limited to one page.

This one unintentionally caused discussion:

This was it

Ian, you never showed me how to edit these link texts.

Tomorrow I will try and explain with a PM - it is late now. :) - ian-hill, Jun 24, 2014

This was a good one! I thoroughly enjoyed reading it. Very interesting. - rac1, Jun 25, 2014

Wow...this was a dandy. Congratulations...best one I've read yet. :-) Loved it. - 007c5fc1, Jun 25, 2014

That one brought back to mind many members no longer here on SD - more's the pity. - ian-hill, Jun 25, 2014

Answer 4

I haven't started a lot of threads, but the one that was the most fun for me and also received the most replies is Outrageous Lies Game.

34 answers - must have been good. :) - ian-hill, Jun 24, 2014

I remember this one! - 007c5fc1, Jun 25, 2014

That was funny! I'm sorry I missed that one. - Findy, Jun 26, 2014

I don't think I have one. :( This is about as interesting as it gets as far as my questions go.

pello and cabello

Your link goes to the jumping whatsits :)) - ian-hill, Jun 24, 2014

Talk about formatting issues...thanks Ian. - rac1, Jun 24, 2014

I missed that question, but it's a great question! And now I know the difference too! :) - Findy, Jun 26, 2014

Answer 6

My first 10K

For me it was like climbing MT Everest ,I was so happy and proud.

F Y I...I just clicked on the link and got a malware warning. - rac1, Jun 25, 2014

There must be a picture on that thread that is carrying malware. - rac1, Jun 25, 2014

Thanks rac, that is not happening to me though , why ? - ray76, Jun 25, 2014

Try it now rac, . - ray76, Jun 25, 2014

No, it's still happening. - rac1, Jun 25, 2014

I even tried searching for it myself and not using your link, but I got the same warning. - rac1, Jun 25, 2014

Why dont I get it on my Imac ? - ray76, Jun 25, 2014

No problems for me to open your link mate - hardly any of the replies are from current active SD members. - ian-hill, Jun 25, 2014

This happens sometimes when someone posts a picture, in this case, www.ronleestewart.com, a known malware distributor. I am not being critical of you, Ray, just letting you know what happened. - rac1, Jun 25, 2014

I got the Malware warning as well. - Findy, Jun 26, 2014

Answer 7

Being as how I have not asked many questions, I have yet to come upon anything memorable besides If you could be any animal... Several made some remarks that they themselves were animals, not thinking out of the box as to the other animals out there that could use a little dignity every now and then.

Anyways, yep that was my most memorable post.

:) - ian-hill, Jun 24, 2014

Answer 8

This was the first game I came up with a couple of weeks after I first joined SD. I just looked back over all the posts and there are some real gems in there.

Did you know? ¿Sabías que? A game of interesting facts. Un juego de datos interesantes.

I started it off with this fact and it still freaks me out.

I will start. Did you know that if you live in the United States or Canada, chances are very good that you have traces of cocaine in your wallet. Cocaine has been found on 90% of US bills.

¿Sabía usted que si usted vive en los Estados Unidos o Canadá, es muy probable que tienen rastros de cocaína en su billetera. La cocaína ha sido encontrada en el 90 % del dinero de los Estados Unidos. National Geographic news

You should bring this one back, Margherite. I just read everything again. It was educational and fun! :) - rac1, Jun 25, 2014

Yes, Margherite, I agree! I had only just joined SD a couple of months before this was posted so was unable to participate back then. - Findy, Jun 26, 2014

Answer 9

For me it was the first shot I took at making up a practice game for the subjunctive. I was learning just as much as everyone else (so I probably made more mistakes than anyone else!). This was kinda like doing push-ups with the other participants - somewhat painful, but rewarding!

Where's W.E.I.R.D.O.?

This was a really good one. I really really need to learn 'more' subjunctives. - 007c5fc1, Jun 26, 2014
