What was the greatest thread?

Here you go.

'Tweed cycling fashion victims', always one of my favourites. The thing is, would the comment that led to the thread now have to be removed quickly under the OSA, @Velocio?

Also, would a site owner/responsible person have to remove it in retrospect now?

By Alice R O'Spok 🤣🤣🤣

Thank you, Oliver. It's as good as I remember

Thanks, Oli, that's great! 🙏

The first tweed run will be a memory I’ll cherish for my whole life.
I met you all, I traded a jag stem with scoble, I smoked an inconceivable amount of weed from a meerschaum pipe and don’t remember getting home but know some serious partying happened.
Maybe it’s the flu kicking my arse today but I’m getting a little emotional thinking back on everything this place has done for me.

Well, tynan did parody and satire, but never maliciously. Here, the purpose was obviously to satirise both Alice Fisher's original article and all the nonsense that was being talked about 'fixies' at the time, hence the absurdity of that phrase (and the totally silly paragraph it's embedded in). You've even cut off the rest of the clause: '... of USA (New York).

I don't really know what 'edgelord' means (probably someone who gets close to the edge), but I don't think it was around as a term at the time. I'm sure it's too close to, or over, the edge for some (especially considering the developments of the last few years), but as a satirical piece I think it stands up. Satire generally offends some people, and it can be done badly or maliciously, no question. I don't think that's the case here.

I'm pretty sure I've re-uploaded it to at least one of these periodically re-occurring nostalgia threads for elderly gentlemen with dim memories before, but I can't be arsed to check. :)

I fucking love @tynan

.

This reminds me of the last minute of Stewart Lee's Top Gear sketch where he has to explain that he doesn't really hope all of Jeremy Clarkson's daughters go blind in all of their eyes etc

Yeah I wasn't necessarily quoting this piece as evidence of being an edgelord. It's just weak sauce and I didn't think it was funny.
I'm not going to start posting all of the edgy race/religion bs he liked to joke about as its all just tiring. I haven't ever seen why people loved him so much is all.

I do enjoy reading some old threads. The more anarchic and uncivil style bitd was fun.

Tester Disapproves Thread. I enjoyed that

Thanks for the reminders. Wheels / Tynan maybe was an edgelord to an extent but he was also a funny fucker. I think he was fully aware he was pushing buttons and I always read his posts in that way. Can see how it could offend some though in hindsight.

Platini was another funny fucker.
