Why is this here?

For what reason did this epic thread show up in the list on the home page? The last posts I see added were in 2018. It was a nice reminder of a super awesome moment in mehistory but that doesn’t explain why it’s there! (For you newer folks: https://meh.com/forum/topics/you-win-this-round-meh--well-played)

- @ELUNO Except when you go to the Forums it doesn’t show up anywhere in the top listings. Even as you scroll down, it’s buried. So it wasn’t active recently.

I used that hyperlink in one of my posts yesterday to talk about all of the shenanigans at Meh. I’d assume that many people clicked the link enough for it to become a popular link.

Trailblazer, visionary, historian, call me whatever.

- @studerc That would definitely explain it. Funny that it shows even though it wasn’t commented on.
