    So I was reading through that Clutchfanisms thread, and I'm thinking to myself... man it would be cool just to have an archive of all the greatest threads the BBS has ever seen. But I realize there are many here who have not been around to view them in all their glory. This BBS has been one of the most celebrated message boards in the history of the internet, and certainly the pinnacle of sports-related boards.

    This site has seen it all over the years... Rocket-related disagreements, vicious newbie-hazing, classic confrontations, brutal beatdowns, hilarious encounters, relationship fiascos, epic fibs, and of course... photoshop barages. I think it would be cool to have like a BBS vault with the 10 greatest threads of all time, (voted on by the members of course) so they can be preserved for future generations.

    Anyway I present a couple of links for those of you who may have missed some classic material from days of old. Reading through some of these threads is a fun thing to do on a boring work day (like today) for us who have enjoyed them over the years, and for those who will be reading them for the first time.

    *Important Note* - Some of these links to threads will not work at first... if you get a link that has "bbs2" in the url... just take out the 2 and hit enter, it should take you to the thread.

    http://bbs.clutchfans.net/showthread.php?t=88458

    I will possibly gather some more links and maybe as a collective body we could find 30-40 classic threads and narrow them down to a top 10 with some voting.

    This thread could also be used for future classic threads material just so we can have one thread with links to all the greatest threads in BBS history.

    I think it is a resource that would be a good to have around so when people ask, whats so great about this site? we could have some history and background on some of the posters and explain some of the context to educate those poor n00bs who have no idea what they have just stumbled upon.

    While I hate to admit it, the "good old fashioned poop/piss thread" had me laughing damn near the entire time.

    Anybody remember the PinetreeFM60 vs. Doc Rocket war?
    http://bbs.clutchfans.net/showthread.php?t=11261&highlight=pinetree

    PinetreeFM60 claimed to be a lawyer, and planned on sueing Clutch and Clutch fans for not revealing who Doc Rocket is.

    He also wanted to sue myself, Rocks Millineum and other for making fun of him. I still have the email that he threatened me with.

    Wasn't he later exposed to be Friendly Fan? The guy that had about a 40 post per day average?

    Here's a great thread with lots of goodies including a few classic Clutch smackdowns. Always a great read on a boring day.

    I always thought that Pinetree was MacBeth. He seemed to have the same kind of arrogance about him.

    Anyone have a link to that thread where those guys stalked Yao Ming and took pictures with him in his front yard?

    Maybe the most disturbing thread I've seen on here, and that's saying something.

    What about the OCP thread? That was a good one.

    I am pretty certain that thread was deleted by the mods. The pictures are still around on some YOF forum somewhere...
