It’s that time again. As another year beings to come to a close it is time for the 7th annual ZooChat Thread of the Year completion. 2022 saw the creation of some truly inspiring threads and it looks like the momentum has carried into this year. I'd argue even more high quality content has been produced as of late which should hopefully make this an interesting nomination process, especially after last year which was easily the most predicable outcome in the history of the game. If you've participated in the past you should know how this works, although one change is that I did extend the eligibility period for nominees at the request of other users. The rules are simple:
1.) Down below, please post the titles of exactly three threads (and the users that created them) that you think deserve to be considered for thread of the year. Any type of thread is eligible for nomination: news, discussion, travel, lists, history, speculative design, etc. It just has to have been created between December 15th, 2022 and December 15th, 2023.
2.) You cannot submit your own thread to be nominated. However, if your thread is within the top contenders you are permitted to vote for it if you wish.
3.) When the nominations have concluded, the top five threads that received the most nominations will be entered into a poll. In the event two or more threads tie for the fifth most nominations, both threads will be included in the final poll.
4.) Absolutely no privately soliciting votes under any circumstances. If you are reported doing so, it will result in your nominations being disregarded and your thread becoming ineligible for nomination. Repeat offenders will be banned from participation in the future. However, you can campaign publicly for any thread you think deserves to be given a nomination if you’d like.
The nomination period will end on December 15th at 11:59 PM Chicago time. From there a separate thread will be created to vote for the winner between the selected finalists. Whatever thread has the most votes at 11:59 PM Chicago time on December 31st will win the coveted title of 2023 ZooChat Thread of the Year and all the online brownie points that come with it. Feel free to ask for any further clarifications if needed and send in your selections. Best of luck!
