Who could have predicted in August, 2012 when this thread was started that it would accumulate over 17,600 posts? I'm thinking this must be the longest thread on ilx by now.

Personally, I think ILX's pretty much unique preference for necroposting has been one of our major strengths.

more interesting question is if you could travel 10 years into the future what would be the craziest thread to have 20k new posts
