AskMefi Followup: I asked you guys for tips in Seoul, and the response was very helpful, I'm still here for 5 more days, but here are pictures of the awesome places you led me to!

This question got me to thinking about the possibility of a meet-up at Black Rock City this year.

Who was the comment detective?

If you were showing the MetaFilter Universe (including the main page, Ask, Talk, Projects, Music, everything) to someone for the first time, what threads would you choose as examples of MeFi at its best and at its worst?

One is deleted because it has no link. The other is deleted because it's a dupe of the first. But can you dupe a deleted thread? Can you dupe a thread that has no link? Or is this just capitalist revisionism?

So it's mid-April already, and I haven't yet heard anything about MefiSwap 2008. So who's in?

Update to this thread.

Is there interesting MetaFilter history that newcomers wouldn't know about, but might find interesting?

Visually distinguish the OP's comments? (At least in AskMefi.)

What's going on with these two relationship threads?

Mario Kart Wii friend code filter: Let's drive through malls, smashing our cars into each other!

Team Fortress 2 Metafilter Server

While this guy does need the "slap in the face" back-to-reality technique he's getting, he doesn't need it to the extent he's getting, and the extent of name-calling is more likely to make him re-entrench in his behaviors than it is to assist in the change of attitude he's seeking. This comment is particularly unhelpful.
