I think this thread has been done before, but I did a quick, albeit low effort search and couldn't find it.

For those of you who've been here since the beginning, what are some classic threads you remember? Who can forget the Audrey thread? Or the casting call (when casting calls were on the forums) that involved actual bodily dismemberment. Or r*ped of body and soul. Good times were had by all!

What are some of your favorite epic threads and trainwrecks over the years? Post links if available. Locked or unlocked.

Aaaaand GO!

Checked a few of the models that expressed interest... no longer on MM. Not sure if it is because of the time since the post or their participation.

I felt like this one had trainwreck potential.... but it got shut down quickly.

What is the point of CAM....... if no mod replies?

Maybe they no longer have any limbs.

This one recently was referred to again in a now closed-and-deleted critique thread:

In defense of the "Bed Sheet" backdrops
https://www.modelmayhem.com/forums/post/38891

I made a comment toward the beginning of the thread (without looking at any of the photos that the topic was about):

It's when the opposite occurs (and usually does), where the sheet is in focus, often wrinkled and sometimes even... errr.... ummm.... (ahem)... STAINED is when we have a problem.  Those type of pictures is what makes the situation a stereotype.

Little did I know one of the displayed photos was guilty as charged, and the hilarity ensued.

Is that where the term "wronkled" was coined?

This post was made a few weeks previous and the first reply says *Wonder who's gonna use the "W" word first?* big_smile" and then others used the word, so it appears that the term was created at least a little before Feb 15 2006 but I can't find any existing earlier threads where the term is used
