I'm going to nominate Marvel Legends KENNER 3.75", which first began to heat up in the past year as the figures started showing up on shelves and pegs. When I started the thread, I thought it would be a quick discussion about a cool upcoming series, but it ended up being a passionate fandom discussing the quality and cost of these figures, tracking their availability, and celebrating finding them in the wild. A lot of this is due to the contributions of whakojacko, who was usually the first to bring us news and promotional images. I really had fun keeping up with this thread and look forward to doing so further in the year to come. |

I'd like to nominate @mrp for a majorly cool thread, the The Eye of the Beholder-an all purpose TTRPG thread. There are a number of folks here who have either played tabletop RPG's at some point in their life or are still very active today, and I've really enjoyed everyone's posts. It ranges from bits of relatable nostalgia to great detailed info on current campaigns some folks are playing, and I think everyone knows the great passion for and knowledge of this space mrp brings. Gamers unite...can I get a second?! Also, I want to be respectful of the rules here, but I'm pretty sure if I roll a "20" with my d20, the thread gets an automatic win  |

Has anyone ever nominated the "Fly You Fools" Tolkien thread? That one was started by @mrp too and is one of my favourite non-comic threads. There are always interesting and thought-provoking replies to whatever topic is currently being discussed. The level of knowledge about Tolkien's legendarium and the intellectual nature of the replies that are regularly on display from the half dozen or so regular posters to that thread is really something.

I'll nominate Hawke's #$%& this! thread reflecting on the language use in modern comics. #$%&ing seconded. It's an interesting look at a single form of media, but it's applicable across a wide range of them. Consider how the language in movies has evolved, with the MPAA actually listing which words and how many of each factor into a movie's rating, or how the language used on even network TV has gotten more coarse over the years. |
