Funny, insightful or interesting threads

 * The Movement of the World: this made me so very excited for GW2, even if the future is pretty bleak. I actually have a lot of thoughts about this I might actually put on paper some day, somewhere.


 * Rangers - The Team Toolbox: Yue (from Delta Formation [DF], at the time of writing the #1 guild) talks rangers and how to play them.


 * How To Not Suck: somewhat abrasive title and OP, but still a good read, especially for players new to the lower forms of PvP, like Alliance Battles and RA/TA.


 * PvP Questions and Answers: experienced players answer questions. Good stuff.


 * Looking for AB advice: for players new to AB.


 * Why Nuking Sucks, by Charles Ensign: a little bit outdated what with the new damage-dealing eles we have these days, but still a good read.


 * Ian Boyd, Master Strategist: hilarious thread by someone claiming to be an expert on GW... except that he doesn't actually own the game and has never played it. People soon start mocking him.


 * Guide to Aspenwood Bonding: for monks on the Kurzick side. I've had a lot of fun holding gates indefinitely :P.


 * Charr Chat: funny imagining of what teamchat for the enemy mob of Charr would look like.


 * E3 For Everyone World Map: not a thread, but have an oooold map of Ascalon and beyond from E3. It's clickable!


 * Healbot Blues: my favorite GW comic ever. Great artwork and hilariously funny.


 * The Biggest Jerk You Ever Encountered In GW: one of my favorite Guru threads ever. It was a sad day when it got closed.


 * TeamQuitter.com: the guild might no longer exist, but the forums are still up and active. Lots of good and funny advice in there.


 * Glimmer of Light Sucks: and this is why.


 * What Would It Take?: why people don't PvP.


 * How To Not Fail At Monk: self-explanatory title.


 * Unlock These First by Auron: which skills to unlock first. Especially good for newbies.


 * The Ecology of the Charr: for a lore-geek like me, a fascinating read.


 * Weapon swaps for monks: all you ever wanted to know about weapon swapping for monks.


 * The GEAR Trick: another very funny and very good GW comic.


 * Factions concept art: thread showing some concept art for the Factions campaign.


 * Nightfall concept art: same deal as above.


 * Eye of the North concept art: guess.


 * Skill of the Day, by Shard: hilarious.


 * Jette's skills: see above.

More to come.
