Since this thread was started by Mr Pickles in June 23, 2017, it has become by far the fastest growing thread on this site. We are close to 2 years since it started and yet at 288 pages, it is also already one of the biggest which shows the popularity of active participation threads such as the Word Association in the Off Site section. Just an observation from me.
And, unlike some other threads on this message board, it hasn't been artificially kept alive by a singular person, making all of the posts by himself, who then turns around and brags about all the "replies" the thread got. So, it's had that going for it, too.
