So over in the Armada forum they have a thread going right now where they are reminiscing over their funniest forum moments, and I thought, you know, we need a bit of that over here in the X-Wing forums.

So let's hear it- What are your favorite forum moments? When has a post gotten you in trouble because you burst out laughing at work? Which threads have made you laugh so hard you cried?

As for me, I think the funniest thing I've ever seen on these forums was This post here , when @CaseyM posted Hitler's reaction to the Phantom nerf. I know now that that video clip has been used many times before and since, but that was the first time I had seen it, and CaseyM's subtitles were phenomenal.

Three word story. Somewhere towards the start where someone posted "growling shaved Wookiee". I opened the topic, had zero context for it, saw the post and the child in me instantly spat coffee everywhere.

Is it too early to vote up the Carolina Krayts (best X-Wing podcast) thread?

I mean no ones gonna stop you, but we're all going to give you that look of " if that's your best forum moment, you are a sad strange little man and you have my pity. Farewell." Kind of look.

I dunno @FTS Gecko "2 manifestos" the other day got a good chuckle out of me.

And @Audio Weasel trolling of negative threads with breakfast memes.

My favorite is the Imperial Tactics by @Boom Owl

Three word story is a lot of fun.

But the best was when the GUNBOAT was announced. Every Imp player went pretty nuts over that.

Edit: A good one was the "TIE swarms are op" around page 1000 or so.

how many jokes on us?

The fact that the Gunboat thread is now over 300 pages makes me giggle every day. One day it will be over 9000!

That one guy throwing a fit over the idea of the people on the forum giving a nickname to the Kimogila. He cited the fact that its just sooo easy to spell, why would it even NEED A nickname, you morons!

And the while time he was spelling it wrong in his rant. The shadenfreude was too much for me.

Honestly, I think random INBEFORE GUNBOAT's were the best.

My favourite was when people were throwing shade at someones ARC170 forum thread, posting things like "they'll never release an ARC" And they did.
I really enjoyed that.

Other than that, the entire Gunboat thread.

Hon. Mention at all times go to FTS Gecko and JBR7 Those, and about a dozen others to me constitute the heart and soul of this forum.

Seeing the R1 gif of Vader hacking down everything to represent the "Bring balance to the Force..." FAQ had me rolling on the ground. Now I just cry.

I really like @Fuzzywookie posts. Some not all.

Links or it didn't happen

You should have seen Armada players abusing that gif when Vader boarding crew was announced... It was so apt though, it's literally what that card does.

Definitely not all

I chuckle when remembering the derpfender.

Then there was that night the Chinese spammers infiltrated the forum and then the next morning none of our threads referring to it made any since as all offending threads (all 3+ pages of them) were removed.

Welcome to the dark side (literally). May I suggest your next purchase is an Imperial Star Destroyer, because... I don't need to explain. It's an Imperial Star Destroyer. It's big enough that if you lose the game, you can literally spear your opponent with it.

Bonus points if you manage to use Phylon Q7 Tractor Beams to catch a CR90 corvette with the Tantive IV title at close range, and use Vader boarding party to ditch Leia crew (this is something you can absolutely do in game).

Do you think it's worth waiting for the Chimaera? Or do I need two ISD-s? I probably do.

You definitely do.

My favourite comment on this forum:

@tsuruki : "The Jumpmaster expansion pack is X-Wing's fire nation."

look, I'm not saying you need 3 ISD expansions... but two plus the chimera is probably ideal :^)
