Hey, here's where we post about, and talk about, good threads from other forums. By "good threads" I mean threads that are genuinely interesting or fun or funny, not threads that are trainwrecks or good to make fun of. Things you could do in this thread:

1. Post links to threads in other forums which you enjoy reading.
2. Talk about why you like them
3. Talk about what's happening in the threads that you like, who's saying interesting things, who's doing funny stuff.
4. Nominate them for a temporary thread exchange with a BYOB thread you think the other forum might like (like we did with CC and the draw a megaman/what's hanging on your walls threads)
5. Nominate threads from BYOB you think would be good to exchange for a while with some other forum.

Things which it would be lame to do in this thread:

1. Post links to bad threads
2. Talk poo poo about the threads posted here, or posters or anything like that.
3. Plan to invade those threads or cheerlead in them or any other BYOB Is Leaking type stuff.


For instance, I like this thread from D&D:

SCOTUS Thread 2015: Justice Scalia attempted to respond on petitioners behalf I don't know exactly how long The Warszawa has been doing these SCOTUS threads, but I've been reading them for a few years and I always learn a lot from them and then I say the things I learn in conversation and people think I'm smarter than I am.

I don't know if it's a good fit exactly but the Urban Planning thread from here is something that I think deserves a new life in another forum for a while, because it is really good and interesting and I wonder if there are other urban planner people out there who have stuff to add.

I like theh hiking and backpacking thread, because i like hiking and backpacking
http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3521471
Good things about this thread:
  • hiking
  • backpacking
  • people post beautiful photos of their hiking trips
  • you can get good recommendations about good hikes in an area - if you look on page 1 and see my hawai'i photos, that was one of the best backpacking trips i've ever done and it was recommended on the previous version of the hiking thread, when i asked for good hikes on kaua'i
  • it's generally a great advice thread. Gear questions (recommend me an X), i'm a new camper how do I deal with bears, I've never backpacked before what do i need to know, how do you guys bury your poop, what's your preferred method of hanging a bear bag, fire chat, knife chat, help me identify this weird animal/plant i saw on the trail, have you ever backpacked with a dog, ask just about any question related to backpacking and hiking and camping and people will give a variety of good answers
  • picnic princess posts incredible photos of the canadian rockies cause she lives there
  • generally just lots of really good pics
  • the OP is really nice and replied to my PM once with a long answer about the city of denver, where he lives
  • recently somebody said he/shge was hiking the appalachian trail for a few weeks and saw a weirdly high number of people hiking with katanas :laugh:

idk if it would be great for an exhcange i just really like it... if we still had a fitnes's thread that could be a good exchange maybe idk
actually it could be fun to have hiking thread in byob, maybe some yobbers would be encouraged to explore the hiking world :D

Unban planning would be a good fit in A/T, but if you're looking for an exchange candidate for D&D it would fit okay there too imo

a really good thread about a person who lost they job, couldn't find one for 2 months and ran out of money, is generally down on their luck, also they can't turn to their family cause they're queer and their family isn't cool with that :smith: but they have a positive attitude and seems pretty nice, and possibly just found a job after months of living on the street?!

worth a read, it's long but i just turned it to show posts from the OP only and read OP posts, i wish that person the best and i hope they post in byob someday, from their comfy home :) or on the clock :evilbuddy:

Please don't send the planning thread to D&D. I tried to talk about planning in there a couple times before BYOB came back and it was just miserable.

A/T might work though.

btw I'm back from my trip so I'll bump that thread later today or tomorrow with my pics and thoughts.

Welcome back from your horneymoon :grin:

Maybe A/T. Maybe SAL? I dont know, I just know i really enjoy reading the urban planning posts in that thread but theres a limited number of times i can bump it in the hopes that someone else writes something for my benefit so I'm wondering if theres a place where more urban planning types might start talking about it
