I don't get that feeling. More of a convenience, like the Readers Digest condensed version of Drummerworld.
As far as criteria, that's highly subjective. But you will have your run away classics that everybody agrees on.
One thing we can do, is try and remember the classic threads.
Groove vs Chops, the holy grail of classic threads
The cape thread
Anything with Sticks4
PEWFLACC
The whole badge fiasco
The tom angles thread always gets my vote
Some stuff of yore featuring Matt Smith is priceless
When Pollyanna (Anon) had enough and left for a bit in 2010 I think it was
The thread where Pollyanna says she recorded the daily temperatures in Sydney for like 15 years straight. What a nut!
Oh, for crying out loud am I ever slow on the uptake in my "autumn years" of life - Anon is Pollyanna??!!!
Yeah, I went away for years myself, and don't post all that much, but sheesh!! Just unscramble the letters...
I remember mediocrefunkybeat; yes, I have to agree with your description - "thinly veiled rearranging. I don't recall any "ban-worthy" posts from him, but as I said before, I took a long hiatus from the forum.
That sounds like a great hang out in London, you and the others.
Why not just have every response ever posted by Pollyanna as a sticky - pretty much covers everything. I miss her
A true legend in her own bath time for sureGood idea Andy
Lets face it, who else had no less than 4 threads talking about a specific forum member here?
Yes, that's right, that's the Mighty Pollyanna
Yet another talented rascal I missP.S. Where the heck is Aydee?
We were lucky enough to hang with you Larry. Just wish I had more time. Something I hope to make up for soonI was lucky enough to hang with her...and Duncan, Andy, Henri, David Floegal, Madge, and Ben Turk in London.
Have I upset you ?
Ah cool - thank youNo man, not at all, sorry it came across that way. I was just being a smart ass and bringing up one of the more memorable threads.
Indeed, at least two classics right thereHow about the threads where I posted my music. How can you forget that?
Certainly Hall of Fame worthy.
I thought the two-minute Challenge was a Hall of Famer.
I think some of MAD's illustrations would definitely have to be included!
