Rebuilding the GoneGold Collective Brain Trust

[warning]

So much was lost that will never be recovered.  And while the new home is wonderful (and better in many ways - i.e. the forum works consistently!), there are still many things that I wish we still had access to.  So my idea is to rebuild the GoneGold Collective Brain Trust.  Post in this thread the cool things, ideas, lists, images, links, etc. that you remember or have saved from GG.  Think of it as one-stop-shopping for your former GG resources.

Item 1: For example, I was trying to think of the link for the The English-to-12-Year-Old-AOLer Translator.  Well I found it: link


Item 2: One time I asked for a recommendation on good books on World War II.  I ended up with a lot of recommendations.  I'll list them below in order of how many times they were recommended:

Recommended by four people

I would kill for the 5 page thread about fantasy novel recomendations.  I'm finally almost done with the 10 books I picked up on recomendations from there, and need something new to read.

Which one?  There was a new one started about every 5 weeks!

And yes, I do miss those.  I'm reading Robin Hobb because of a recommendation from GG.

I do believe that I have one of the fantasy book threads saved as a word file.  Let me know if you want it.

Could you post it in here?

Yeah but 4.5 pages of those threads were recommendations for Song of Ice and Fire over and over again

Sweet, can you e-mail that to me please?  I'm going to need to take a look at it in a week or so.
