At one point, better start a new thread.
I disagree. The other/real/correct thread has posts by Nino, Kendricke, and Lady Daegarmo after page 20 or so. There was some epic fucking Vanguard thread awhile back where Utnayen (and Tad10) got unbanned around page 70 or something.

It is a real chore sometimes to shift through all the shit but when you hit paydirt, it is worth it. I think I have it down to a science of skimming right past names I don't care about unless I see them quoted a lot. Then I will backtrack to that author's post.

A karma system would be all kinds of fantastic, though.
