Some of the more recent locked/deleted threads have sent me looking through the archives for legendary threads past, but I can't seem to find some of them. Specifically, I would kill to re-read Van's "I hate" thread (which I didn't expect to find), but some of the other classics seem to have slipped into the cracks of the intarwebs as well – CDB/BD, the Rhino's pro/con thread from 2007, etc.
One of the other boards I used to visit used to have a couple of members that were unofficial archivists, in that they had personally saved some of the more important and/or entertaining threads.
Is there anyone here that has done that and might would be willing to share?

From the BD/CD thread: It's already 2 (now 3) posts ahead of the Pro Sports "NHL" thread. I'm sure Buffalo is heartbroken that Ballroom Dancing and Charlie Daniels have exponentially greater interest than pro pucks.  I guess this means we can look forward to seeing Ballroom Dancing instead of the NHL on the Outdoor Life Network. Somethings never change. Also, incredible to me (seeing as a im a relative new comer, as i wasnt around here for all that stuff), that the board was shocked the thread reached 10 pages!?! For the love of Crackers, the thread about Benimon committing is up to 8, what can people possibly be talking about in there? I guess ill have to agree that the board was a lot funnier back at the time of these threads. There arent nearly enough flame wars that occur involving the whole board. Am i wrong in think the last one was last summer with, god i can remember the name now, but it involved accusations of racism and the return of someone from the past who had already been banned. |

This stuff is stored on an old computer and on old floppy discs which I can transfer over to a CD. Its about time I handed off to someone who may want to make use of it. PM me if you're interested. And don't get frustrated if I don't respond immediately. I'm slow like that. |

Oh, man. That was a fun thread. And I wasn't even participating, just observing. Hilarious. Wasn't there also a North Arlington vs. South Arlington thread at some point? (not that there's really much of an argument to be made for South Arlington, but I seem to remember some people trying to do so anyway, bless their futile little souls). |

This thread is just what I needed. I wish there was an easier way to search the archives for all the awesome threads, like the REAL rhino's thread (ie: the one where 2007 threatened to rip up my fancard for going to watch a Georgetown game at Rhino's on a Friday night, where, you know, its half price beer and food). Also, because the BD/CD thread came back up, it reminded me of a) just how amazing that thread was, and b) how HT jumping the shark thread was the effective end of YB as a poster around here. For some reason, I just assumed that he had ended his account when he stormed off in a huff after Cambridge posted that amazing fake press release: hoyatalk2.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=offtopic&action=display&thread=12516&page=6#181592And then I looked at his profile, and under "Last Login Date" it says this: "Yesterday at 12:43 PM" Does that mean that YB is out there, as a lurker, reading these posts every night? Does he get the urge to end his monastic vow of silence and spread his knowledge amongst the masses here, especially the young, innocent men who were never so lucky to go toe to toe with him in a debate over the ballroom dancing team and how awesome South Arlington was? God, YB, are you really out there? YB, I ask, nay, I BEG, that you come back to us. We know you're out there, lurking in the shadows, probably mocking each word we say on here. Hoyatalk is not the same place without your absence here. In fact, since your last post, 4/12/2007, this program has seen a downturn in its fortunes, and I say, yes, this is directly connected to your absence. So YB, I unite with the rest of the board to beg you to come out of your self-imposed exile and chat with us. I miss your scent. I miss your musk. But most importantly, I miss imagining the little veins in your neck popping out as you whig out on someone on this board for mocking the ballroom dancing team. Come back to us, YB. We're here for you, with open arms. |

If you want to put that stuff together I will find a good home for it. Philly et. al., thanks for the links. I'm definitely in MEGAFANLAND right now. |

(not that there's really much of an argument to be made for South Arlington, but I seem to remember some people trying to do so anyway, bless their futile little souls). As a proud homeowner in South Arlington (and former apartment renter in both North and South Arlington), I am ready and willing to take anyone on in a defense of my new neighborhood. Bring it on! |

Now that North Arlington has a Five Guys, I really see no need to go to South Arlington.....ever.
But you have fun down there. At least the police have cleared out MS-13 pretty well over the past few years.
;D

At least the police have cleared out MS-13 pretty well over the past few years. ;D You also now have an Elevation Burger (Harrison shopping ctr off Lee Highway). To be fair, there's a difference between South Arlington west of I-395 and South Arlington east of I-395. But your point is taken. |

Just tweaking.  I'm pretty tired of a lot of Arlington, north and south, to be honest. But it's hard to beat the convenience and price (for me, anyway, not prices in the last couple of years), so I find it difficult to get motivated to move without a life-changing event. Nothing like that on the horizon....to the best of my knowledge. |

Five Guys = Knock Off of In n Out.
Can't you guys even make your own burgers?

I'm pretty sure we already had this discussion as a tangent to the topic of the God-awfulness that is Ben's Chili Bowl.
While I recognize the true greatness of the In n Out burger, I'll put Five Guys up against anyone.
Besides, I ain't moving to the West Coast. No way, no how. You people are nutcakes. More than a week out that way and I start to lose it.

I think we need a new classic thread of DC burger joints. Just like that faceoff (can't remember which food blog it was) a few months ago. Five Guys vs. Elevation vs. Ray's vs. etc.
