Yes I have. If by "Archive Trolling" you mean read 11.5 years of a daily strip in a week and a half.
Fun stuff.

Toady typically doesn't do things by half measures.  As evidenced by turning "make hauling work better" into "implement mine carts with physics".
There are many issues with this statement.

You should read more closely he said Archive Trawling not trolling :D

The difference is that Trolling is mean and Trawling means your hauling :D

"trolling" as used on newsgroups was originally taken from the fishing term, in the context of "fishing for a response".  It's still valid for any time you're wandering the depths of something murky.

This thread since it veered off course, for example.

You can allow or stop your dwarves from eating these mushrooms, but it's entirely optional and doesn't turn Dwarf Fortress into Dwarf hookah-smoking pad.

It is hopeless to get this thread back on track I tried

I think ever since Toady made the list... people have treated that as this thread... and treated this thread like it is the "Random stupid stuff" thread.

Sorry, I was "Archive Binging" and I mistyped/Freudian-slipped trawling.
On the subject of archive binging, I just finished El Goonish Shive, including the fillers and NPs. I am a webcomic addict...

 Ah, forgot Adventurers! Time to boast and mock!

 But yes, 'till Toady gets off from his end of month project we don't have much a use for this thread.

If you liked El Goonish Shive, you might like DMFA.

I never said I was a particularly bad case, but I am indeed an addict. I also have school to go to, along with gaming, literature, and anime/manga addictions. The three things that keep my addicitions in check are:
A. Limited access at times to one or more of the above.
B. Unwillingness to spend copious amounts of money on addictions.
C. If one starts to get out of hand I can start going into withdrawal of the others.

Webcomics! Video Games! Books! Anime! Manga!

What kind of lame medium are books anyway?[/tvtropes misquote]

I wonder what would the enemies of Captain Otaku be. Maybe Teletubbies?
