Default Epic threads...

OT: What are the prerequisites for a thread to be considered "epic"?

Original post must make you scratch your head...
Must contain 2 widely divergent opinion groups, a few insults, at least 5 pages, extra points if a moderator has to step in to cool things off.

Nice pic Randy! I've not seen that one before.

To me that most epic was the "black/terra" thread. Oh no,....I said the B word.

Sometimes the mods stoke the fire.

Someone being banned, or suggestion of a ban should be a requirement. Also, contributions from those that don't own the type listed at the forum header also helps.

That was indeed the most epic I remember.

I think you are onto something here. Does a thread really need many responses to make it epic? Or insults? Maybe all it needs is an epic beginning? Like some of your examples.

M3 vs. C2/C2S? There's always someone who'll bait the Porsche faithful into a rabid defense of the brand. It's kind of amusing to watch the argument devolve.

I dunno though, I'd be hard pressed to think of any Porsche thread that could get as vitriolic as a Campagnolo vs. Shimano or Doping free for all on a bicycling forum. You all are refined gentlemen compared to the savagery that goes on with those topics.
