(See the Advance Warning before participating) Nominations for Favorite Beyond the Back Issues Thread1. Please post no more than one nomination for your Favorite Beyond the Back Issues Thread in our ninth year of the CCF (between April 30th, 2022 at 9:22pm EST and April 30, 2023 at 9:21pm EST). 2. You must explain why you are nominating this thread. This is the blurb that will end up in the CCF Hall of Fame if it wins! 3. Please second no more than one nomination made by another member. You may not second your own nomination. 4. Any thread that has previously won this award should not be nominated again unless it has done something especially different in the past year that is worthy of note. It is a given that past winning threads continue to enrich the community. Let someone else have a turn 5. Any thread receiving both a nomination and a second will be included in the final ballot for this award on May 24th. 6. Nominations and Seconds for this round conclude on May 12. 7. Absolutely NO negative talk about another thread, its participants, nor another member's nomination. The very purpose of this event is to salute our members and discussions for all they contribute to this community. Though only one member will ultimately receive this award, you have the potential to thank and maybe touch any member you choose to nominate or second. Please don't use this opportunity to hurt or deflate someone. So start your nominating!

I'm giving Icctrombone a two-fer today on nominations, but I think I'm safe since it's a different award category this time (and I have some other names in mind for the remaining awards). I'd like to nominate Icctrombone for his What is the "newest" Christmas song classic? thread last year during the holiday season. We have a number of music related threads already, but this was truly original and fun enough to start a great chat that combined nostalgia, all kinds of diverse takes on the question, lots of excellent suggestions for listening, and of course what would a great CCF thread be without some doses of humor along the way? All the ingredients for a winning thread and hence my nomination.

I'm going to go with DubipR 's Favorite books of 2022 thread, such a fun idea to celebrate the best books of the year and it got me into some titles I missed!

I nominate When classics die by shaxper. Not only did it entertain by calling back sayings and quotes from the past, It also showed everyones age.

Thanks for the kind words, folks. I'd completely forgotten about that thread and had to do a search for it just now to even remember what you were talking about!

I nominate Icctrombone's Zoom meetings for the CCF. As much as I have a terrible attendance record, I truly love that this opportunity to hang with my fellow CCFers exists and that Icctrombone continuously makes the effort to keep it going!

Since Roquefort Raider beat me by mere seconds in seconding "When classics die" I'll gladly go with this choice instead. It usually takes place while I'm working so I don't get to attend but it's a real winner of an idea.
