Although it may be hard to believe, TowersStreet is going to turn 14 years old in 2026! Without getting too sentimental, this place has given me a lot of good times over the years, and I’d like to hope it’s done the same for many others. But I did not start this thread primarily to be sentimental (or perhaps I did, I guess!); I started this thread to have a good laugh and think about some of the threads and posts on this site that really stick out in my memory! So this evening, I’d be keen to know; what have been some of your favourite, or at very least most memorable, TowersStreet posts and threads of all time? If you were to nominate some posts or threads to be in the TowersStreet Hall of Fame as an all-time classic, what ones would you pick?
Personally, one of my favourite threads was the first ever Layout Geek League I competed in, in my first winter on the site: https://towersstreet.com/talk/threads/the-new-layout-geek-league-2017-18.4596/
It was in 2017/18 and run by @Sammy, and while I was utterly hopeless (and thoroughly schooled on this by numerous members, particularly @DiogoJ42 and @Rick!), I had so much fun playing the game! And while I cringe at my own 14 year old behaviour in that game, some of the responses from seasoned members do make me laugh in retrospect! Some of my… er… most memorable moments from that thread include:
And not forgetting this exchange at the very beginning… evidently starting as cringingly as I meant to go on!:
Good times! I utterly cringe at my own conduct 8 years later, but I do look back and laugh at some of the camaraderie and how much fun I had!
So, I’d be keen to know; what have been some of your favourite or most memorable TowersStreet threads/posts from over the years? Let’s reminisce and create a hall of fame of the truly classic posts and threads from over the years!

Maybe it was intuition. Maybe I'm a genius. Maybe I quoted the post to decry your artwork yet again and you'd named the file 'Super_Train_Water_Garden_Salmaniya.png'. I guess we'll never know
Layout to follow.

You wouldn’t believe I went on to get a Computer Science degree after not knowing how to find Paint, would you?
