sicko - Couple years back I woke up in the middle of the night and couldn't sleep, so I picked up my laptop and surfed the OG. There was a thread from a forum member who was feeling down. Like really depressed with a very suicidal vibe to it. That thread kept me up as we tried to get more information to help him, tried to get him to call one of us or a hot line. People were trying to contact the admins to see if they could contact the authorities in his area, etc.

I didn't know the guy, even now I don't remember who it was, but I kept refreshing the thread and reading the new posts, hoping he'd post something just so we'd know he was still there.

He eventually contacted someone and got some help. Again, I don't even remember who it was, but I remember feeling relief when I saw everything was going to be okay.

That's the only thread I can think of that kept me up, glued to a thread Phone Post 3.0

Girly - Besides the fappening, the hunt for the Boston marathon bombers was unreal. That thread kept me up til 3 in the morning.

I was in Afghanistan during the Boston marathon bombing. That thread was way more informative and updated faster than the news on AFN.
