    As the decade closes out, it's time to take a look back at the last year and see which threads has become user favorites. As the site continues to grow every year, more and more great threads are made from

    Most of you should know how this works by now, but for any newbies...

    The rules are the same as last year. Between now and the midnight of December 15th, post the names the three threads that you think should be a candidate for thread of the year on this thread. Please put both the title and name of the user that created the thread. You still cannot submit your own thread to be nominated. You must nominate exactly three different threads, any more or less your nominations will not be counted.

    Then when the submissions have concluded, the top five threads that received the most nominations will be entered into a poll (In the case of a tie, I will break it). Whichever thread has the most votes on midnight December 31st is the winner of the 2019 zoochat thread of the year. While you may not be able to submit your own thread, if your thread is nominated you are allowed to vote in favor it.

    I am excited to see where everyones vote falls, and a special thanks to @Zoofan15 for reminding me this competition exists. ;)

    Interesting. Has there perhaps been an undercover whipping operation in favour of a certain thread? :p

    Short answer no. However, I said that if anyone is kind enough to vote for Zoo Decisions 3 then to please vote for the first thread in the series (which represents all the threads). This is because @pachyderm pro stated in the rules last year that people cannot vote for an entire series of threads (i.e. Zoo Decisions 3). I assume this rule still stands @pachyderm pro?

    Yes, if there is a "series" of threads you would like to be submitted, nominate the original thread that was made to represent it. Zoochat Cup - Rebooted by CGSwans for example.
