2007 Teakdoor Thread of the Year

[Silent Orchestra]

Having been a member here for exactly a year now, I have seen a fair few number of threads come & go. I have also seen the same old threads doing the rounds more than once, too, but as days pass, TD attracts new members & this is to be expected.

I have contributed a fair bit to TD. My total post count is 3540, of which around 3500 have been utter tripe, but those remaining posts have been enjoyed by at least some of us, which is what I believe - apart from conversational posts - TD is all about.

It is with that enjoyment in mind, that I have created this thread.

What have been the best threads you have seen on TD this year? Is the exhilarating Red the Person Above You, by CMN? How about Jet's mind-blowingly fantastic Finger Food? Both, surely, potential winners of any thread of the year contest?

Don't worry if you don't see your favourite thread of the year on the list, as I have a cunning plan. I propose, that instead of not giving this thread a second thought, that you take a moment to dig up your favourite thread of 2007 & post a link to it on here. This way, we can all enjoy it & share the experience of having many great threads, all in one place.

I can't be the only one who wades through mountains of shit to find a decent read nowadays.

Let's move on to the contenders.

Shitman

Despite a shaky start to life on TD, with a bit of a mental breakdown & crack habit thrown in for good measure, the boy came good, in the end. This thread is a gritty, real-life & legally documented account of a man's life in the balance & the sort of stuff I don't think TD had seen before & will probably never see again.

Only the very best threads do we expect to see from the landlord of TD. This one is amazing. It includes pictures & even a video attachment of a fishing park in Pattaya. The only slight criticism you may have with this thread, is that there are no fish in the fishing park, but leaving all that to one side, surely this is a contender for thread of the year?

Clockwork Orange

Created out of a general dislike of Richard Littlejohn on TD, CO managed to lay on one of the most highly-viewed threads of this year, totally out of the blue. If he had known so many people were interested in his story, I'm sure he would have shared it with us sooner.

A livewire member of TD, known for creating fantastic threads, such as this one about cricket. With a massive fourteen views & one reply, this thread just has to be included, in the interests of balance & all that.

Those, dear readers, are your options.

If you don't see anything you like, please add below a link to one that you believe to be worthy of the title -

2007 Teakdoor Thread of the Year.

[Boon Mee]

Well, not to appear biased or anything, I nominate this double-century thread for best of the year!

[Silent Orchestra]

A single line that you cut & paste?

No cut & paste threads allowed - that's Mid out of the running

[Boon Mee]

A single line that you cut & paste?

Heh...read the entire thread and the contents thereof.
Like I said - quality stuff!

Wayne Kerr has done some fantastic photo threads! Will try to dig up my favorite one.

Here is his Issan journey.

[astasinim]

For me i think its gotta be.

CO`s - My Story

Wayne Kerr`s - Outback adventures

Tsicar also produces some threads with an amusing slant to them.

[kayo]

I voted none.

Shitman's is a close second,

DD's is informative and all, as many of his "report" threads are, but ultimately, the success and popularity of this kind of place comes down to the community that frequents it.

Everybody has got their own story, and some can tell it better than others, always worthy of a read.

The ashes...??
I didn't bother reading on

My nomination is actually, in true oscar style, a recent release:
See this link here to understand why... OP!

[Silent Orchestra]

I was going to include that one, but I thought it would be vein to punt threads of my own.

[kingwilly]

the Ashes is just building up, if you doubt it - lookit last years AShes thread!

[Silent Orchestra]

Well done to anybody who voted/posted/paste or whatever.

I thought it seemed like a good thread idea but it seems to have gone flat.

[chinthee]

DD, I think it deserves to be a sticky in members or famous threads or something.

[dirtydog]

^What deserves to be a sticky?

[Silent Orchestra]

Not this one, for sure

[dirtydog]

Has kws the ashes thread had 20 views yet? naaa, he cant mean that one

[chinthee]

Whoops, went brain dead there. The thread by SO in members with the Jedi ending.

[dirtydog]

Ahhh, that one, as soon as it gets near to going to second page it will be stuck in famous threads.

[Silent Orchestra]

And immortalise Stroller?

[dirtydog]

Although, it does depend a lot on the ending

[chinthee]

^Yes, he will then beatified by the Pope.

[Norton]

Although, it does depend a lot on the ending

Editorial blackmail! Don't let em do it SO. Stick to your guns even if Stroller emerges triumphant and you are banned for life!

[Gerbil]

Right. I nominate one of mine
