Under Greatest RI Threads you will find two new forums, for High Weirdness and Political.
It is understood that these two categories are extremely loose. The names are not so important. Most threads here are either High Weirdness or Political, or both.
This is a game. It is a low-stakes experiment.
It is meant to liven things up a bit. Let's see how it goes.
Here are the rules to the game:
1. Please do not start new threads in either of these two forums. Thank you.
2. You can play if you have been an active member for at least one year, and have at least 200 posts of your own.
3. You can nominate (for now) up to THREE threads as greatest RI threads. That means three cumulative, not three each but three total for both of the two forums. No more than that, please. (We can expand this later if people are having fun with the whole thing.)
4. Nominated threads must be at least TWO YEARS OLD.
5. To nominate, bump a thread and say you've nominated it. Specify either High Weirdness or Politics.
6. Moderators will move your nominee to the specified forum.
7. Voila. Everyone else gets to see what you think is the greatest. We are all treated to RI's best material (or not).
8. The threads will remain LIVE.
9. This is supposed to be fun, so please don't take the game part too seriously (e.g., the categories or the rules).
10. You can take the discussion part as seriously as ever, and reply to these threads with your usual wit and charm. That's kind of the idea.
11. Yes, of course you can nominate a thread that you started.
To get this started, I've thrown one thread I thought was pretty good into each of the two forums. Under these initial rules I am also limited to three.
Thanks everyone!
