‘S MOST MEMORABLE POSTS OF 2008 — THE RESULTS ARE IN!      

Hey, !    

First of all, I’d like to thank the thousands (yes, thousands) of you that voted for your most memorable posts of yore — AKA 2008 — in the poll that was included in the previous entry. (CLICK HERE if you missed it; CLICK HERE for the original nominations entry that started this whole thing.)

Now that everyone’s had a couple of days to weigh in, it’s time for me to post the results.

Basically, what I’m going to do is:

1. List the Top 20 posts (as voted on in the poll) in descending order,

2. List some "Honorable Mention" posts that got a lot of nominations, but not enough to be included in the poll (if I forget any major ones, please let me know in the comments and — if appropriate — I’ll edit the post to include them),

AND

3. Make a few funny/crazy/whatever "Honorable Mentions" for ~epic~ posts that are now deleted or were too silly/OT to be included in the poll.

NOTE: DEPENDING ON HOW TL;DR THIS GETS, I MAY NOT DO A CUT B/C A) I’M HTML-CHALLENGED, B) THE NEW CUT FORMAT FOR RICH TEXT SCARES ME, AND C) I DON’T WANT TO HAVE TO RE-DO THIS WHOLE THING OR W/E…

So, without any further adieu, here’s your Top 20 Most Memorable  Posts of 2008:

Ok, it’s time for the Honorable Mentions! In an effort to make this post as non-TL;DR as possible (and also so I don’t go insane), I’m only going to post ones that I could think of right away. If enough people bitch about a certain post that isn’t included, I may edit the post.

In no particular order, here are some Honorable Mentions:

OK, I’M STOPPING HERE B/C THIS ENTRY IS LONG AS HELL AND I’M AFRAID THAT MY COMPUTER IS GOING TO RANDOMLY FREEZE AND I’LL LOSE EVERYTHING. IF THERE’S SOME POST YOU REALLY, REALLY WANT TO BE ADDED, COMMENT AND MAYBE I’LL EDIT.

That’s all, folks!      

Once again, I apologize for posting this so late (it took WAY longer than I thought it would), as well as for making it so long & without a cut — I was paranoid about the formatting, ok?!

Feel free to use this post to discuss the winners, reminisce about your favorite/most memorable posts of the past year, and/or just to have some late-night fun!

In closing, I just wanted to say that this post wouldn’t be possible without the tireless, ubiquitious, pro-bono, etc. hours and days of work that all of my fellow mods put into this community, so let’s pause to give them all an appreciative pat on the back!

And lastly, this post REALLY wouldn’t be possible without the equally tireless, ubiqutious, pro-bono, etc. hours and days of work that all of you — the members — dedicate to this community. We truly, madly, deeply thank you for that! <3

OK YAY THE POST IS FINALLY FINISHED AND IT’S TIME TO HAVE SOME FUN!
