You know, I was planning to bump this thread a while back...
http://www.ffxiah.com/forum/topic/14293/the-post-your-favorite-thread-thread
...but having re-read it, it was like a disaster from the very beginning. >.>;; Darki posted on the first page, things went downhill, then weird things started happening (KFH trying to get the thread back on topic? Bart and Art sniping at each other? It was like an FFXIAH Twilight Zone episode lol...) ;_;
Anyhow, I considered what threads I enjoyed most over the years and realised that although there were many that had a lot of funny back-and-forth (mostly those OVER NINE PAGES ones...and yeah, maybe ones featuring Elanabelle, Stanflame, Darki, Flion, etc. all going at it) you really had to dig around to get to the fun stuff (and a lot of the intervening stuff was really vicious lol.) So there were also ones with great comic potential...like
the one where Darki asks FFXIAH to help her name her son--but what positive anything could one possibly expect to come of that thread, really? :p And there are others
like this one where I thought the OP was really funny, but the discussion wasn't funny at all. >.>;; Oh well.
So my personal criteria for my fave-threads were that they had to be funny or clever or at least made me smile a whole lot, where everyone contributes to it, and it stays mostly on-point (even if off-topic) and not meander too much so at least it makes for a good read without having to dig through pages. :p So in no particular order...

http://www.ffxiah.com/forum/topic/26339/ffxi-in-rl (Even if half the image-links are now broken, this one was so good!) :)
http://www.ffxiah.com/forum/topic/37894/if-you-thought-congress-cares-one-bit (Sorry Chanti, but this one ended up being the quintessential FFXIAH P&R thread for me...) ^^;;

http://www.ffxiah.com/forum/topic/46969/cake-lol/ (The photo links on her OP of the cupcakes are sadly all broken, but if you go the
shop homepage she's still actually making cakes! So cool!) ^^
