Speaking for me, they pretty much are the history of TWB. I constantly refer to them, even if for something as simple as what each team's record is each month. I was trying to recall which month the Phils began to fade this year and the Cards move to the forefront, and the thread was vital. Matt also is always citing records and great achivements and things... it really is awesome. It also generates discussion here. I don't think any of us want to see The Big Thread die out.
