I assume the evolution thread was depinned to prevent 'privileging' one debate other another, but I think it is a shame to lose the really informative posts like Reformentia made. For this reason I intend this topic, if it is acceptable to moderation, to be a link repository to the very best, informative posts made on this forum - or the old one - on any given topic.

Having a given post added is by general consensus. Make suggestions on this thread.

B
Battle of Denmark and the Bismarck - LordTyrant

C
Communism - Z'ha'dum
Communism (vs. Nazism) - Ikarus

E
Evolution - Reformentia

F
Faith - Reformentia
Falklands War 1982 - Smallfrog

G
God (Argument against; summary of Richard Dawkins' argument.) - Bakunin's Dream

P
Personhood - Reformentia

Double (first) post

Here are some informative discussions I found:

Marijuana Legalization 1

Marijuana legalization 2

Communism Vs. Nazism

Personhood
Jormungand
I've added the last two, but the former are threads rather than posts. I intended this topic more for particularly good examples of the latter.

And for the threads that haven't been posted in a while... please don't gravedig them. dry.gif

It was unpinned because it wasn't spicy enough rolleyes.gif
Bakunin's Dream
I think I may have made one of these at some point, if you count the summary I wrote as an "informative post."

Argument against the existence of God

I enjoyed the debate in Nalka's thread on Freedom, wherever that is.

It was unpinned because the creationists lost the argument.

They lost the argument hundreds of years ago. At this point it's closer to cleaning up the remainders.
Soviet Sindorin
A Topic about the USSR and it's myriad of Policies.

USSR Politics
Commissar Zhukov
Z'ha'dum should be awarded a medal for that post.
Jormungand
Added Bakunin's Dream's thing on non-existence of God.

Sorry Sindorin, that's not really an article but just a bunch of pictures with one-liners beneath them. If there's a more essay-ish post in there then that can be considered.
Soviet Sindorin
Well, I was looking at the stuff that was posted afterwords. Theres alot of good informative information on Stalin's USSR and Post Stalin USSR. Alot also about Revolutionary Theory and the Clergy during 1914-1917.

If there's an individual post with it all and up to a decent standard, then link it.

Well, its not going to be coherently in that thread however for the sake of it all, I will be making a thread this evening with some of the info gathered from the old thread. You should find that "pinnable".

How About This?
Jormungand
A bit too short imo - needs to be at least the length of the 'Personhood' one by Reformentia, and to be honest this post is intended to have great posts already written for it rather than writing specifically to get a post on this list, if you understand me.

Also, as a ground rule you cannot nominate your own threads. If they're good enough, someone else will do it.

We need an award for Bakunin's Dream and Z'ha'dum...

I don't think so. The reason we have links to them is because we don't want to lose them, right?

Unless anyone has anyone has any suggestions, my thread on the Spanish Inquisition could be perceived as informative.

I concur, just in case we don't approve of nominating our own posts.

I'm against the idea of nominating one's old posts, but one about free trade might not be bad awesome.gif

I've mentioned before that it's not particularly fair to nominate your own posts.

That's why it's called a nomination, all of you people can discuss it.

Lord GVChamp
Doesn't matter, the posts are still here if anyone wants to look here. Or the mods could make another thread like this with "key posts" like in all the other boards.
