The question is, "What are the most popular threads ever on this forum?" And the answer is simply the threads with the most views followed by the threads with the most replies, and I suppose any thread that makes the top 10 in both categories will have the edge.

Suggesting threads that you think should be the most popular is really answering a different question.

Aside from all the usual banter threads, let’s not forget the one where someone out of nowhere revealed he played pc games with his chin… and it got so much publicity that the game developers created a patch say he could play a game properly. Got OCUK forums on major news websites iirc!

Can’t seem to find it now though… someone else can link to it I’m sure

Ah yeah I remember that one! A lot of them you just forget about until someone brings them up.

I seem to remember a classic which involved mumsnet.

Not massively popular as such, but a quintessential OCUK meme thread was the "I did Nazi that coming" one, but alas the pics were hosted by Photobucket and are all gone :'(

Thread here in case anyone wondered

5 years to 50k was good

Wasn't there one about someone's phone getting stolen and the OcUK detectives found him

Anything by twoblacklines (86JR) purely for the megalolz of him being a bit of a numpty.

Turbotoaster's shenanigans were good.

The one where the guys phone got stolen. And didn’t he have some software on his phone that gave him remote access to the camera and stuff. I think that one made some news websites.

You beat me to that one, the poster who was able to screw with the thief and post photos of him (and his mole) due to having Cerberus on his phone. That one also made the papers if I recall correctly.

ahhh 2BL's confessions on TeamSpeak and the OcUK battlefield hacking software drama.

It's been years since I've read it so can't remember details but the one where the OP goes in his gf mums was it(?) and gets a proposition, sure it involved a car with a flat tyre, leopard print and a bin bag. I'm sure someone knows what I'm thinking of though I'm probably way off.
