I'm fairly sure the Badger thread has been lost in the mists of time, the Picolax thread was extracted from the smoldering remains of the hacked site and is linked to somewhere on here.
Back in the dim and distant past there were some good threads by the infamous LukeB, including one where a (female) classmate of his found the forum and started posting as well..
The Badger/tubeless tyres thread was ace – threats of him suing various forum posters for defamation before finally accepting his fate and being able to laugh about it.
The thread exposing a certain (long gone) forum poster as a general creepy weirdo was quite good in a car-crash TV kind of way.
And in totally the opposite direction, I think a mention of the petesgaff/cancer thread is due just to show that, behind all the insults, trolling and childishness that sometimes comes across on here, there is a real community of genuine caring people.
