As of now, I'd have to point to the 2008 Presidential Primary season and the lead up to it. It was truly an amazing time for the forum. JJ v. the reality of the Wisconsin Primary was one my favorite highlights.

The beginning of the RPP to present

My first time in the senate was pretty solid too, and I can't forget the 2006 NJ Senate race

December 2003 - June(ish) 2004.  Dem primaries plus advent/blossoming of old-style fantasy elections.

Right when I joined (June 2004) to about March 2005

We had the classic forum members, great U.S. elections and hilarious Fantasy campaigns. I bet few people here remember the classic Teamspeaks with Naso and other legends like Peter Bell, KEmperor, Andrew, ColinW, Alcon, True Dem, Assad, etc. I would laugh so hard that I literally couldn't breath.

Anytime we're playing armchair prognosticator, it's golden.  Because....

*** you can always count on someone to predict a Republican win in Rhode Island or a Democratic win in Utah

*** you can expect our number crunching geniuses (I mean that sincerely) to provide breakdowns of the turnout, the vote, etc along all kinds of lines -- black, white, innies, outties, the nude bowler vote, etc...

*** you can expect me to predict my candidates will lose because I am like Eeyore

*** you can expect others (you provide the name) to predict their candidate will win, no matter how far down in the polls they are.

*** someone is going to say, "It's a wait of time to predict"...we won't know until election night.

*** someone is going to create a thread about the Presidential election 30 years from now and put in the names of some people who ran or were talked about this time.

All in all -- it's golden, because it's just so much fun!

2005 to mid-2006.  I wasn't around in 2004 (though I lurked briefly), but from what I had read, it was even better then.

That was a great time.  That's when PA 13 was white hot.  Now, it's.. bleh.

Before the 04 election and a little bit of 05. From mid-06 to present it's been a mega left wing troll fest.

Maybe I should correct my statement to "blatantly overt sausage fest".  I get your point, however.  Wink

That's ok, I know you have to be all macho homophobic on the internet to compensate for...well, everthing about your real life.

I know that I eat too much candy sometimes, but that's not really a crime, at least not yet, dont'cha think.
