Where is the HOT Women Thread on this list?

The Hot Women thread currently has 7000 posts and 2.4 million views and that's got to be a record. But it didn't exist back in 2006 when this thread was created.

I don't remember too much about 2006. Were there hot women way back then?

 

[oldldh]

Ahhh, finally a directory...

Thanks...
