Old Jellies: want to remember a truly feelgood thread--an all-time Fluther classic?

This was just a few months before my time, but it still makes me very happy to see the names. Thanks.

Do we have the YARNPOCALYPSE thread?

Here it is, @Mimishu1995. The Yarnpocalypse:

Yarnpocalypse 2:

Thank you for the memories. I was just thinking of Sherry the other day. <3

This makes me want to ask to reinstate my original account. I have so many memories and messages there dating back to 2008.

Everyone talks about the Yarnpocalypse but does anyone remember that Jeruba and I started a Chuckathon before that when we all changed our avatars to AstroChuck’s for a few hours? That was the first one.

@janbb, yes, and don’t forget @filmfann. It was his idea, if I recall correctly. And it was fun, wasn’t it?

But that and the Yarn thing were jokes, pranks. @whatthefluther’s thread was touching, moving, exciting, and suspenseful, and most of all, it drew us into a happy couple’s incredibly special moment—particularly if you knew their story.

@Jeruba I agree, the proposal was probably the Fluther highlight. I was just responding to the posts about the yarnpocalypse above.

I consider those days gone by as being from the heyday of Fluther.

That was such a great thread. @scrowell and @whatthefluther were so lovely.

Reading through it again, I think I was heavily caffeinated at the time. ;^)

Love this. Great to see all the names and how priceless this thread is.
