Thread of the Week

I have another couple of threads for you this week. Thanks to those who responded to my last post, too. I am about to add some new contributors to OB World and hopefully that will keep things interesting.

Where Were You?

Today, of course, is September 11. I felt that Raiha's new thread should be published on here this week because September 11 had a long lasting effect on so many people. It was also an event that changed the world in many ways.

Interestingly, just as the attacks were occurring, somebody did make a thread about it on OB. Several members commented on the unfolding events as they happened. These kinds of threads go well beyond anything else in terms of significance I think; these are real reactions to an enormous tragedy in history.

I remember that one of my biggest concerns on that day was whether or not Adam was okay. I did not know exactly where he lived in New York City, but simply being in the same city - especially when so much was still unknown - is in itself quite scary. I was relieved when he finally came online afterward.

On a lighter note (and perhaps to remind us of the luxuries we are afforded in free countries), I thought I would also publish ChibiHorsewoman's latest thread:

Political Captions Thread

If you enter this thread, just remember to leave any serious thought at the door. All you'll need is a sense of humor and some funny images of your own.
