What's the longest thread on ASR?

[krabapple]

Just curious. Anyone know? I know two contenders for most posts must be the measurements everything or nothing, and the vinyl renaissance thread.

(Related question: longest thread in terms of *number of words*)

Not this one, yet. I would never bet against A Call For Humor, it's the only way that people will "like" me.

I’m rooting for this one to claw its way to the top:

Cat News?

Funny that neither of them are about audio science.

We should pin those stats for newcomers. They wouldn't guess it. Unless the "What are we listening to now" thread were full of graphs instead of album art.

The Music one is. That’s about enjoying the fruits of our collective labor is it not?

Not arguing. Just conversing Sir.

The Humor thread is a great thing to have around because it breaks the monotony of the day and provides smiles. The music thread is good too because it introduces many different music files to the viewership of ASR.

When I want a giggle from the web my first thought is not "must visit the humor thread on ASR'

Which isn't to say ASR posters never make me laugh.

I suspect A Call for Humor and What are we listening to right now aren't highest in word count since they consist largely of links and images.

measurements Everything or Nothing might beat them both.

That’s entirely not true. But tell another joke anyways…

Heck, youse guyses have more of a sense of humo(u)r than do most audiophiles -- at least, judging by most audiophile forums for the last few years!

Er..whose collective labor? Are we all audio engineers here?

"I like sunsets!"

Well look at that, I just posted about astronomy!

Or photography -- or maybe just philosophy or aesthetics.

I have a whole collection of 'em (more or less*) on Flickr.

I remember a thread about ATC speakers that became very very long.

You know... as I reflect on the "recent posts" list even now... the Can Anyone Explain the Vinyl Renaissance? thread has demonstrated real staying power.

Can anyone explain the vinyl renaissance?

I'm a member of a couple of reddit audiophile threads where people post pictures of their rigs and most of the time they include turntables and every time I see one my mind is blown because I outgrew vinyl only a few years after buying my first CD player in the '80's. Back then I had a tape...

So you missed out on giving someone a mixtape? Yep, it was never my thing. I did own a Pioneer 707 RTR tape player for a while but lost interest due to the lack of available high quality prerecorded tapes, and using it to record and play back borrowed LP's turned out to be a bigger PITA than I...
