The one I'm looking for just now is the one regarding the correct etiquette used on passing someone you know coming in the opposite direction. Ignore them until they have almost passed and then give a surprised hello, or start acknowledging them from a distance?
This thread had me literally crying with laughter and I'm desperate for that boost again today.

― Savannah Smiles, Friday, 11 July 2008 15:39 (fifteen years ago) link
might be on 77 or MRF, but it's the thread with the ultra-brilliant line about the slow devolution of posters from earnest ILM reporter to crankier subboarder to in-joke spouter to drastic misspeller to sock puppet user that I'm finding more and more accurate these days

there is a thread discussing the loudest bands of all time, in particular a Mojo article that went in depth about concert volumes (MBV was at the top, I think? there were also some references to MC Hammer spawning noise ordinances that pretty much killed the idea of going over a certain db range within city limits...)
I can't find it, or the Mojo article. li'l help?

surely someone remembers this thread - searching for "loudest" and "mojo" not really doing the trick

Can someone remind me what the thread with all the modernist, geometric-abstraction book covers from the 70s was called. Or At least some other archive of modernist book design. Thanks.

They're not all book covers, but maybe this one?
