Need your help: 3 "Best" threads of all time

The movies or Yankees threads

Anything started by yours truely.

Have we all forgotten The Female Hotties Thread?

How about your Oscar thread that you ended up boycotting?

How about Cereal Poll ?

My community is generally for fans of Mob films and shows (The Godfather, Scarface, The Sopranos, etc), author Mario Puzo, as well as the Mafia in general. The forum (in UBB format) began in 2001 -- we just celebrated our 6th anniversary with UBB -- and for most of those years, I consciously didn't promote the site, because I felt we were "worth" the find thru my main websites. The forum has attracted an eclectic membership (male/female, young/old), and most are well-behaved. lol We've even had the pleasure of Mario Puzo's wife, Carol Gino, answering questions about their last book after he died.

The community has been so tight, we've been holding annual in-person weekends with a dozen or so members, many traveling across country, even bringing their families. In addition, many of us in the New York area get together a few times a year for dinner. Many life-long friendships have come out of it. We actually lost a close friend last year who came into our lives directly through our community, as presented below.

The links that best exemplify my forums are:

a. Godfather Legacy - Shooting Locations - Author Harlan Lebo ("The Godfather Legacy") recruited my members for some info on his revised book. It was tough to pick one thread about the movie content of all the many in depth discussions that've been held, but I thought this would be the most interesting to non-fans.

b. Greetings from Chicago! - Our first annual get-together in 2004 was a lot of fun! Includes pictures of us with some Sopranos actors, and some great stories if you have the time to go thru it.

c. REMEMBERING PLAWRENCE... - A tribute to a dear friend met online who passed away. This really shows the camaraderie

Besides the main content of mob-related entertainment, what I think sets this forum apart from many others are the real-life friendships that have come out of it, so I focused a bit on that. There are plenty of other main-content threads you can explore.

Thanks,

Here's my entry -- I'll let you know how we do in a few weeks! Thanks for your input!

What's the prize?

Of course since people will be visiting here from that site,

I'm rooting for ya.

There weren't any submissions with many contributions from DMC, I wonder if that had anything to do with it....

I thought that was one of the strong points of Geoff's choices.

Sorry Geoffy. Do you know how many sites were entered?

Ain't nothing to sneeze at!!!

That's easily the coolest expression I've heard since "do you smell what I'm stepping in?"

I don't think I was in any of those threads either.

Are you trying to compare yourself to me Blibble? I wish there was a movie made that put what I want to say right now into some kind of quote. If there was such a quote I'd love to just post it and say "Blibble, we're both pretty much the same person, but don't think that something that applies to you should apply to me, Senator."

Shakespeare v. Tupac

I have seen numerous references to this thread, but haven't read it. Can anyone point me to it or is it deleted (I can find it in search)?

Man, I want to see that thread too. It's just so legendary and I think it's been deleted. Sadly before my time.

I tried searching for it with no luck... has it really been deleted?
