    I'm happy for @Ebirah766 to get the credit. If nothing else, he has put a lot more effort into this thread than myself lately (along with a few others).

    Ultimately it is Pachyderm pro's decision and I will gladly accept whatever that is.

    My stance on multi part threads is the following:

    If the thread was split from an original thread that was created before January 1st, 2018, it does not count for this competition. If a brand new thread that was created - not split from another - after the original thread had been used it does count for this years running.

    So sorry @Jambo but you cannot vote for The Never Ending Story Part 2, though if it at all makes you feel any better the original Never Ending Story - the thread was split from - did make it to the poll last year.

    Also @Arizona Docent unless you post two more threads I wont be counting your lone vote, just purely based on the rules I've established. However, I encourage you to find two more you find deserving of the title if you have the time.

    Thank you all for your continued interest :).

    Oh well.

    In that case, I propose a new number three.

    Before I make nominations, I have one question:

    Should nominations count towards how many replies it got (for example, many replies, but only from a small group of members) or if a majority of active users on the forum enjoyed it and participated (for example, many people took part and enjoyed)?

    It's your personal, subjective opinion.

    Sorry @Hipporex , But I believe you need to vote for three threads. Not just one. ;)

    Well this went over my head. As the rules state, you are not allowed to submit your own thread, you will have to pick another one.

    That thread is from 2016 and therefore does not count.

    I'm flattered, but yes, the thread is older.

    Another reminder @ThylacineAlive please switch your Aan Diego thread for something else before time is up, or your votes will not be counted.
