I couldn't help noticing that we are fast approaching 5000 threads and 50,000 threads. This is kind of neat. There are lots of new people perusing the site & I thought we might nominate, or remind ourselves of some of the more memorable and/or contentious thread topics. Here are a couple off the top of my head:
National Qualifying standards for Nationals
Pool measurement errors & effect on top ten compilations
I realize that I have not used the proper thread titles, but in some cases these topics spanned several threads. Have you any others to remember?
I also would like to take a moment to thank our tireless adminstrator/monitors, who have soldiered on doing a yucky job despite severe (at times) provocation & our sometimes petulant & immature (moi?) reactions to other posters. Perhaps they would like to nominate a most annoying thread?
I'd also like to start some USMS Web Awards. Categories include:
most posts
most interesting thread
most responses to a thread
best avatar
best made-up-name/name change -eh, hem Scansy!
person with the best advice
best non-swimming related thread
best poll
and???????????
Of course we'll have to have a nominating committee, and pick a date to announce these awards as well. Perhaps the night of our geek party? :p
