I know we have a few of these from different times and it seems there is a bit on "master list" inception going on between them so I wanted to try and gather all of the info in one good master link thread. If the Moderators don't like it they can delete and I just wasted a few hours, but I hope it's a bit easier to read (and search) for everyone to use successfully. Add you comments and links to add below and I'll get them categorized and added. If you'd like to see more categories/trigger words you can also let me know that as well.
