Let's just all hope that they don't become self-aware...

Too late. The threads are just hoping that we don't become self-aware.

Pfft. No thread can ever go more off-topic than the TR-116. What did that one end up discussing anyway?

You're talking to the bloke responsible for dragging the TR-116 thread off-topic. I know what happened, and I'm hardly the one to complain about it even if I wanted to.

I think if we tried to move the TR-116 thread anywhere else, it would tell us, "I'm sorry, Dave... I'm afraid I can't do that..."

What did that one end up discussing anyway?

In this order;

The gun itself
Whether Borg shields stop KE attacks
8472
Whether Borg can surivive in a vacuum
Starfleet's stupidity
Riker's 'this phaser will blow up a building' quote (at this point Teaos said "Wow kinda got off topic.")
Whether you can transport bombs into an enemy ship
Whether M/AM warheads can be transported
Whether phasser fire can be transported
Whether beaming torps into an enemy ship is a good tactic ( halfway through the thread now. At this point Teaos said; " how will this thread mutate now?")
Why no one uses the TR-116
Whether the gun's transporter was an add-on
Double posts
Why no one uses the TR-116
Whether beaming torps into an enemy ship is a good tactic
Why they were able to beam a torp onto one Borg sphere, but no others
Me getting promoted to LT
Dimensional shift technology
How badly the Borg would be whooped in WWI
Why sci-fi writers are unable to make a credible ground force
Voyager
Whether the Borg were cooler in TNG or VOY
How stupid the Borg are

And that's it. Just nine pages, and we discussed that many topics.
I hereby award the TR-116 thread the Award of Sheer Randomness.

I don't know what's more incredible:

1 - that we touched on so many tangents;
2 - that it seemd somewhat organic at the time; or
3 - that Rochey actually went and put that list together.

I was bored.
