The original Mother of all BS threads had 59238 posts when it expired, and many thousands more lost in a couple of major Mudcat crashes.

The MOAB - Mother of All BS [annex] has a puny (but poetic) 3636 posts. It has died the death of a thousand 500 codes, kept from dropping off the bottom of the page solely with infusions of posts transferred there by moderation.

This thread is one that will look at some of the historic original posts. Because you can see them if you know where to look - the original folks who posted there all have post histories that include their MOAB posts, even if you can't open the thread itself. So posting links to a few of the original participants will help revisit MOM's glory days, when Tweed and Khandu and Amos and Bee-dubya-ell and others dropped in to tell stories and share poetry.

I'll move over a couple of the last posts from the [annex] thread to see if we can give this one some legs to run with, so this "first" post will probably drop down the list some.
