    I've frequented a few other forums in my days as an INTERNET warrior, yet I've never been linked to any of these threads on these other forums.
    I have, however, been linked to some of the threads in personal issues whereupon a good laugh was had by all.

    I propose that the thread be renamed 'The threads on boards that some people on boards found memorable', as legendary would imply that they have impacted upon the greater INTERNET, which, with respect, they haven't.

    Why did you capitalise internet all the time? :confused:

    What's an internet warrior?

    "Legendary" doesn't imply it had a greater impact on the internet. It's still technically wrong but not for that reason. A legend would be an old fictional story. Therefore "legendary" is the wrong word to use in the title, but the word's meaning in changing in modern times.
