The Iraq War and Powercranks/Rotorcranks seems to lead the way. One long thread about sports drinks thrown in there.

yes, the sports drink one with the osmolality and gastric emptying and sucrose concentration junk. And what about the ideal Tri-vehicle/anti-SUV thread one? Ahhhhh, those were the days!

"what do you all think are the most common and recurring post on this forum (top 10)."

there are the most popular threads (by views and by replies, only one of which is clickable on the forum home page) and then there are the number of subjects that come up via re-asked queries. another poster is correct, just for the number of replies to a post, you'll get the list by clicking on the "replies" column in the top of the home page of the forum.

i thought for sure 3d desanctioning was going to overcome and win the top spot, but it ran out of steam. if you were to add the two iraq threads, (what i'm seeing on CNN right now, and what i'm seeing on MSNBC rght now) you get up toward 350 replies. individually the CNN thread is at 240, pc v regular cranks is 213, and 3D stalled out at 208.

if you add up the biggest PC and rotor crank threads you're around 500 posts.

so as goes fan interest, i'd say exotic cranks and war/politics are the two most popular subjects on this forum, and 650/700 trails by quite a bit.

I have to admit to starting the sports drink thread. Though it got carried away, that thread was the single most valuable thread to me in terms of importance of what I learned.

Using Carbopro, I have nailed my nutrition and hydration during long races. A newbie friend of mine did the same thing in the blistering heat at GFT last week in his first real triathlon. Very cool stuff, and it is very simple to use.

so that means a post titled "France is selling Powercranks to Iraq - boycott Frank Day" is likely going to smash the record...

"What Frank Day drinks while in France selling powercranks (under the table) to Iraquis" would flame for weeks.

because he sells PC to iraqis or debating on the quality of the wines?

"France is selling Powercranks to Iraq - boycott Frank Day"

Ha!! Let's hope Record9ti and Fleck read this!

I think you are mistaking fleck with slick...

You are correct. Fleck, my apologies.

I'd be interested to see which post got the most different people posting, is there any way to see this?

Since some of the PC threads seemed very war-like I am not so sure we should separate these two.

Quality of wines? Heck, how about their Osmolality? Now dem's fightn' words. lol

BTW, I can't believe that sport drink thread was that big of a deal... and to think I was in the thick of that mess.... eeegads!

I agree Frank

Osmolality of the wine? is it when you do not give the concentration of wine in the blood anymore, but say how blood you have in the wine flowing in your veins?

my apologies for the non politically correct post to my german fellows and aussie mates who measure the blood in their beer!...

its nearly midnight and I can't sleep because my mexican neighbors have not enough blood in their tequila! ;-)

night all!

Cerveloguy and myself are planning a reconversion in the entertainment business :-)
we are trying to get Frank to sponsor us.

The first pair of circus clowns riding unicycles equipped with powercranks!

darn these guys can party late!
slept the first hr of the bike ride!

Thanks to everyone for all the replies. And thanks for the info on how to check for post. I was just trying to avoid asking the same questions even though most everyone seems to tolerate them and offer very good advise and opinions.

At the Seattle Bike show I met a "unicyclist" who kept coming back. he thought is was possible to ride a unicycle equiped with PC's. It is probably possible but how do you stop?

I guess you jump :-)

Aim for something soft, like someone desanctioning USAT stuff while arguing about 650 vs 700.
