Stupidest thread...

so the term "Stupidest thread" has been thrown around alot lately, so what say all of you, what was in your opinion, the stupidest thread ever (can't name this one, so there!)

my vote, that thread about the guy who went missing that was relisted by some spam bot. that was just lame...

That was f'ing amazing.
I think any of the recent trolling ones are tops.
Or is this "stupidest genuine thread"?

Well, not really, cause I was talking to Dustin.

from the "fortynine sixteen clothing" thread:

At the very least, I think we can all congratulate 49/16/King/Kog/ for starting what has proven itself to be the stupidest thread in a long line of really stupid threads.

If we can all agree on that, then there is still hope for the world.

The nathian fabien thread was a pot of gold, but all good things need to come to an end. We need to let it die.

I'd like to nominate the one which the OP tried to be a smartass and dissed an ebay seller for advertising a 120mm frame as a keirin frame. Of course, it was a keirin frame.

Anybody else think that the SSFG has turned into the Statler & Waldorf of the bikeforums?

How about all the threads that are viewed like 90 times, but there are no replies?
