2010 Threads of the year

December 19, 2010, 11:20 PM posted in General DiscussionI just came across a very interesting thread from earlier this year that I realised I'd completely missed. I realised that unless you read every single thread you may miss some real gems. As the year draws to a close I thought it would be both fun and beneficial to get the community to post their nominations for must-not-miss threads from this year under various categories.
Please provide a link to the threads you nominate. A little spiel on what makes that thread stand out would also be cool.
Finally, feel free to add your own categories here.

deserves a special category/ nomination of its own. Thanks to xiaoliang for generously sharing his experiences of his trip to China and making us feel we were almost there with him. Community spirit award we could call this one perhaps. Jiayou.
