As we approach the end of year, it's time for the 6th annual ZooChat Thread of the Year completion. It really is incredible the difference a year makes. 2021 was seen as a somewhat lackluster year for the community (although there were still some excellent threads that were produced during that time). Travel was still limited and the effects of the pandemic were still very much being felt. Fast forward a year later, 2022 has been one of the greatest years for content on ZooChat in a long while. While I can think of a clear frontrunner, there are several threads I anticipate will be locks for the nominations. For any newbies, here is quick refresher of the rules.
1.) Post the names the three threads that you would like to nominate for thread of the year on this thread. Any type of thread is eligible for nomination: news, discussion, travel, lists, history, speculative design, etc. Anything goes as long as it was created this year.
2.) Please put both the title and name of the user that created the thread.
3.) 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.
4.) You must nominate exactly three different threads, any more or less and your nominations will not be counted.
5.) When the nominations have concluded, the top five threads that received the most nominations will be entered into a poll. In the event two threads tie for the fifth most submissions, both threads will be included in the poll. So there could hypothetically be six or seven threads nominated l if the circumstances are there.
6.) Absolutely no privately soliciting votes under any circumstances. If you are caught doing so, it will result in your nominations being disregarded and your thread becoming indelible for nomination.
Nominations will be finalized on December 15th at midnight Chicago time. From there a separate thread will be created to vote for the winner between the selected nominees. Whatever thread has the most votes on midnight December 31st is the winner of the 2022 ZooChat Thread of the Year. Feel free to ask for any further clarifications if needed and send in your selections. Happy voting!
