I think funny threads are the best, particularly genuine stories that are funny.

Next I say I like threads that are informative, usually by answers to questions I didn't know before.

I don's care too much about rants and sob stories, or technical stuff I know little about.

Do I get points for originality starting this thread, or is it a repost?

i like the threads that involve news articles that don't have to do with politics or anything like that. just news articles of people being stupid, or ones that are just good stories, but usually ones that don't have politics in them.

YACT where the simplest question requires 472 answers, all of them wrong except for one.

Seriously, what was his deal? All he ever did was give car advice. what an no-good a$$hole.
I hope he never decides to come back... even if he changes his name :D

anime and audio gear threads. funny news/pic threads as well, although good ones are hard to come by.

1. random stuff that turns into a fun flame/junk/neff-war thing that doesn't involve noobs (noobs usually take stuff personally and the fun is gone)

2. when everybody starts making a parody of a thread, making the first page full of a similar threads from top to bottom. impossible to track which one is the original thread (they're all eventually locked, of course)
