New Format!
Monday, 31 December 2007
Huzzah! Legendary Threads is sporting a new look that is oddly similar to our old look (but somewhat better I hope :) ).  I ditched the CMS that was underlying the old setup and I'm now getting down and dirty with some basic HTML and CSS stuff!  What does this mean to you, the faithful reader?  Probably not a whole lot, other than maybe fractionally faster page loads.

The Internet claims more victims!

In this thread, people talk about how their (over)use of internet has led them to forgo some basic hygiene, have bad eating habits, and just generally not get out of the house enough.  Is this another example of online gaming wrecking lives?

Welcome to Legendary Threads
Monday, 06 November 2006

In a world with countless message boards, threads are born, live and die unmourned countless times a day.  On occasion, threads appear that transcend their normal peers and become legendary.  Unfortunately, even these epic threads are often relatively unknown, and appreciated only by the regular visitors to that message board.  I hope to change this to some extent with LegendaryThreads.com. 

If you have a thread that you feel deserves legendary status please feel free to submit it.  My guidelines: no threads that require registration to read, and no threads from overly "questionable" web sites.  Noone wants go to a site to see a thread and have their computer end up as a slave to the Russian mafia.
