I may be a bit biased, since I was one of the major posters in the threads, but the old WotC D&D forums had the What Do YOU think My Character Looks Like? threads...
They started out as people giving general descriptions (class, level, age, personality, etc.) of their characters and folks posting pics of what they thought that character might look like physically, but then some of us began modifying the images we posted, and it eventually evolved into a find/make-me-a-character-pic thread.
Multiple threads each hundreds of pages long, and out of all of them there were only three or four negative posts by this one particular idiot...

I absolutely adored watching this 3/31/2008 moderator/admin/owner flame war [April Fool's performance art] unfold:
Morrus:
Rel:
Piratecat:
and on. and on. and on. IIRC there was a temporary website or subsite created in the process. There were definitely bans and a purported coup.

On a NFL site I visit, we did a fantasy draft of artists, scientists, inventors, etc....and then voted on the best. You had to pick some women and there were other rules I can't recall. It was fun, and I learned a lot. I loved my team, but can't recall who I had other than Madame Curie.

Before even opening this I knew The Forest Oracle would be the winner.

I nominate "So long and thanks for all the fish". A ragequit thread that was hijacked by the community and built upon into a very fun (and long) comedy.

D&D 5E - So long and thanks for all the fish!
It seems that, in this forum, if you make a post that people don't agree with you get a terse response and then ignored. I would have thought that with a role playing game people would be up for some debate, but it seems that people are so set on their own views they can't take any form of...

I don't believe in the no-win scenario
Before there was the AITA reddit, I remember the "milk" thread at Paizo. Player came to the forum for help with a situation with his gaming group. The player would bring donuts to every session, and help himself to a glass of milk from the host's fridge. Player never asked if this was all right, just assumed since they brought donuts. Finally, host asks player not to drink their milk anymore and bring their own. Despite the donuts being community, nobody else would partake. Player still felt entitled to milk and so helped themselves again. Host became angry and game group was on hiatus. Player would never back down, felt completely entitled and in the right.
That was how the "dont drink the GM's milk" meme was born.

Also a great choice. Over on, err, the other message board where we were allowed to use bad language, someone made a parody of the pen discussion using stills from the Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer holiday special.
