In your opinion what was the best year for GPPD and why?

[Hitman]

OK folks, many of you have been here through it all and experienced many things, which year do you think GPPD was at its best in all aspects and what were the hottest stories from that year?

 

[aldeayeah]

Dunno best, but 2022 was the craziest. The Deportation saga being the main item of course.

I was going to say, 2022 was the worst

 

[RS]

My thread spamming peak was 2020-2022. Fedovic fans tearing each other to shreds.

 

[Red Rick]

2016 the year of Mury Goat

 

[nolefam_2024]

as for as OP, I think 2024 has been a very good year. Fruitful discussions.

It's been calmer this year. Probably due to Raz and Sinner.

 

[Vito Andolini]

2016 the year of Mury Goat

Peak Toady Cabal though.

 

[Krish872007]

2014-16 was pure madness from what I remember - very entertaining threads, especially in 2016.

 

[Breakpointerer]

2003, when it didn't exist

 

[Sport]

2019, peaking at Wimbledon. What a carousel of emotions.

 

[RS]

2003, when it didn't exist

It is probably better this place never existed

 

[weakera]

Definitely 2019

 

[Vito Andolini]

There's literally no topping this. 2018.

 

[ibbi]

Hitman, what year was it that you basically disappeared for a while?

Don't worry, the question and the subject of the thread have nothing to do with each other.

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Federer and Del Potro]

2012

 

[RSJfan]

2020. Some of the craziest and most conspiracy laden material I’ve ever read. Alas, most of the craziest threads were nuked. Good times.

 

[GloW]

nothing beats the early 2024 sinner shenanigans

 

[nolefam_2024]

Come on. Sinner is a baby.

Real tennis fans fight between rafole. Zero love loss.

Yeah but the post AO sinner bots were crazy lol. I can name like 4 or 5 of them from the top of my head.

 

[Red Rick]

Peak Toady Cabal though.

Nathanil, is that you

 

[Sudacafan]

All have been real sh1t since mid 2019.

2016.....

Yes, what a year that was.

 

[metsman]

15/16-18 felt like the peak trolling era that birthed most of the iconic threads (2-5000, let's break it down, nuff said, gurufils, Meles magic, destroyed once more). The mods killed that era.

 

[NatF]

2012

2012, the last year there was some parity between the Big 3 fanbases.

 

[Sudacafan]

Nathanil, is that you

Wow!

 

[Poisoned Slice]

2014, I came in hot and heavy, then things changed.

 

[ibbi]

2016.....

Yes, what a year that was.

Oh no, definitely not voting for that one

(I can't believe it was that long ago!)

 

[StefanV]

The Spencer era.

 

[Bender]

There's literally no topping this. 2018.

I did not realise this was that long ago...how time flies

 

[vokazu]

I don't want to say which year is the best because it's a disrespect to past GOATs, Legends and Hall of Famers who have paved the way for us to reach our peak.

 

[Lleytonstation]

The Spencer era.

 

[Lleytonstation]

For me 2020 was wild. COVID really jacked things up and people had the time to post. Crazy tennis scenes too.

 

[sportsfan1]

It's not happened yet but around 2026 when all discussion will transition from big 3 & lost gens to sineraz and next gens.

 

[Vcore89]

From February to August 2008, it's just so!

When 90s Clay was on this forum

 

[vokazu]

When it did not use Xenforo in which you can't see the text highlighter when you highlight a text during posting. Currently you highlight a text when typing, and the highlighter is white and the text background is white.

I solve the problem by using Dark Mode on my phone but still not a good thing cause I don't use my phone all the time to post.

The last Xenforo update was a big downgrade.

 

[SystemicAnomaly]

Why is the Odds & Ends forum being poisoned with a GPPD thread? No doubt 2024 has become the worst year for O&E with this infestation.

It's a meta GPPD thread not a GPPD thread.

 

[Sudacafan]

The best years are yet to come.
That will be accomplished when the replacement process of human user trolls by AI user trolls is completed.
We are currently experiencing the start of this interesting process.

[ollinger]

Best years were the earliest before it devolved into mind-numbing mental masturbation threads like
---Who wins 2011 Djokovic vs. 2015 Djokovic
---10 matches, Tilden vs. Santoro, who wins how many?
---List in order the 50 best half-volleys Federer ever hit
---What if you put Karlovic's right arm on Paolini?
---How many slams does Ferrer win if the Big 3 never existed?
---Who's the slam leader if tennis courts were ovals instead of rectangles?

Very true and didn't know the ignore function at that time
