Okay, you can have up to 5 votes. No 'other' as there's been plenty of time to add stuff in the nominations thread. Canvass etc if you wanna!

Damn, I had forgotten about some of those. This was a classic year!

Bogus.

"OOT Word Association" makes this list and "Picture Wars" doesn't?

I swear, this is the last fussingrussinblatincussin poll I do...

Yeah, I shoulda put in picture wars, but it didn't get seconded (I think), and I just musta missed it. But unfortunately you can't alter polls... but Come on! How long do I need to leave up a list of the contenders before I run the poll!

MonkeyFunkey it!

[samjjones]

Good poll. As a disclaimer, I only voted for three: MS-Paint (far and away the best IMO), How many 5-year olds, and the Chuddo trainwreck. Ramsi's rules!

[kurosh]

Picture wars didn't make it?

[SackUp]

Chuddo, 2of3 goals in college, 5 year olds, MS Paint, Fish have Forums too (back when p*ker was allowed in OOT - this was a glorious and probably lesser known thread)

That is my order. Was looking for the Jihad debacle...not that it wins but definitely poll worth.

Nice work putting it together Diebitter. You have the ones that are going to make the finals, so that is all that really matters anyhow.

I should have created a gimmick account to second it then. Not that it would win, but it did have 80-some pages of replies, so it must have been OK.

[durron597]

I would remake this thread with picture wars and allowing 8 votes, then pick the top 8 and do a tournament style with seeding according to the initial votage.

[Fabian]

Voted for ms paint. The only thread that comes close would be the 5 year olds, but only the first 10 or so pages, the rest kinda sucked.

yeah i was going to say it was a lame idea but i had a good time looking through the links you compiled. nh sir.

[Los Feliz Slim]

Do any of these represent The Great Gimmick Account Uprising of 2005? Because that was awesome, and I will not let its memory die.

[BottlesOf]

I protest the placement of 2 out of 3 goals accomplished.

Does anyone have a link handy for the sunglasses/[censored] thread?

Also

I believe the nominations were for post of the year and this is a vote for thread of the year? Can we talk about how different those two things are?

[/ QUOTE ]

These were my picks as well. Although my exact ordering differs slightly, thise were the best. I also echo my compliments to diebitter. I see that the gimmick account uprising thread and picture wars didn't make it, but I can't blame OP. No one, including myself, thought to nominate them. Alas, but I'm not sure I could pick them over those five anyway.

MS Paint

The Great Gimmick Account Uprising of 2005 - don't remember it, and it wasn't mentioned

JBB
I addressed this in the very last post of the nominations thread - my bad. EDIT: Oh, and links are available by a link just above the poll

MrWookie+others
I do indeed think Picture Wars was definitely worthy, but polls can't be edited, and my memory is more holey than righteous

[BottlesOf]

Damn, did we miss Kurosh's brother's street brawl? That was fantastic.

How is Animal Survivor Tourney doing so poorly? That thread ruled.

I am writing in my vote for picture wars and not voting for anything else.

can anyone find the link to the finals of Ms.OOT 1. It occurred in Feb/March I believe. I searched but I can't figure out how to get past 6 months without going all the way to the older archives

I guess you missed it, diebitter, but I suggested that "Fish Have Forums Too" and "Kwazar" be combined into one, since they're so interconnected. Now they're splitting the vote /images/graemlins/frown.gif

Someone link to the gimmick account thread. There might be a few but the one were Commodus got his start was great.

one was making fun of the boards and infiltrating them. another thread had to do w/ a member and him being in an accident. separate incidences. separate threads.

[RunDownHouse]

I see your point, but then we get into separating out all of Swede's polls, because while a Western and a Musical have some stuff in common, they're also pretty different, etc.

But whatever, diebitter still did a good job.

Now I don't want to get off on a rant here, but I don't understand why that thread was locked. That thread was funnier than the look on Eddie Murphy's face while receiving oral from a transvestite. Of course, that's just my opinion...I could be wrong.

[James282]

I want my vote back, I had never seen that MS Paint thread. No other thread could ever compare, really. Gonores had a funny idea with the 5 year olds, but the MS paint thread could be 100 different threads all worthy of being nominated. Come on people.

right on, James. unfortunately it seems like everybody is swept up in the "OMG 5 year olds is soooo funny!" mentality. i rly don't get it.


edit: and the Gimmick Account thread was also hilarious. i wish I had been paying closer attention to the nominations

[diebitter]

-James282
Sheeesh. Just do like everyone else would. Create a gimmick to go again, willya.

[uw_madtown]

Any chance of seeing a Final Four tourney / vote? Wouldn't be surprised if that changed the results a bit. I imagine lots of people voted for 5 Year Olds, MS Paint AND Chuddo, so a single vote match between the top 2/3/4 might yield different results.

Agreed. This is OOT history in the making. Or in the made, since it got locked.

After the top 3-5 are chosen they should compete for supreme status.

Well, someone suggested final 8 knockout after this. Someone else suggested 'picture wars' should be included in this final 8 too.

But... nah, I'll not be running a further knockout once it's finished (in just over 4 hours from this post).

If someone else wants to run the knockout (say the top 4,8,or 16) afterwards, they can be my guest though.

[diebitter]

OK, voting finished, here's the order for Thread of the Year (% representing proportion of vote out of the 34 contenders):

1 How Many 5-year olds -16%
2 MS Paint Thread - 13%
3 Chuddo Trainwreck - 12%
4 Banging chicks in myspace - 6%
5 Fish have Forums too - 5%
6 2 out of 3 goals accomplished - 4%
7 Backhanded compliment (PokerJo outed) - 4%
8 dr Dom #1 (representing Dom's advice/stories) - 4%

And props to 'Picture Wars' which was left out, and a few people have said shoulda been in.

So grand winner is 'How Many 5 year olds'

Congrats!

(PS. anyone wanna do a top 4 knockout, please feel free).
