In the end, that's for you to define. But what do I define as high quality?

1. Content that SHOULD be the in the top three results in Google for a particular query.

2. A thread that people derive some sort of strong benefit from reading. Maybe it makes them laugh heartily, educates them, or makes them think.

3. A thread that, if posted here, would not be able to be completely picked apart by people.

4. A thread that, if read by guests to your forum, makes them think, "Cool, I am going to join this forum."
