As the title says, in your opinion.

I could mention some obvious ones, but to get the ball rolling, I'll drop this little gem here.

Until Skynet becomes self-aware, no bug will ever compete with boot.ini in terms of tragicomic value.

I was here when the nerfed boot.ini.

Fortunately I wasn't affected though. (from what I remember it only nuked your Windows if you had some old version of Windows, like XP or something)

I was writing a guide on how to exploit the "unlimited wallet bug", but it got forum eaten and then I spilled a big glass of water on my laptop out of frustration. Laptop went in fire and now I lost the txt file in which I copied key procedures for the exploit. it's lost forever now.

So I guess that makes the post eaten bug the most epic now?

IIRC, it only affected players with non-standard hard drive partitionings on Windows XP.

The Dyspo duping bug. That generated a couple of trillion isk before they caught it.

Well, it was any reaction product. The reactors just didn't bother to check for inputs every tick.
