Popular Post Jingthing Posted December 2, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted December 2, 2020 (edited) 2020 -- the year Songkran was cancelled. We'll never forget it. So why even have POTY this year? I hereby propose that the honorary winner of POTY 2020 shall be the NOVEL CORONAVIRUS by unanimous consent. Do I hear a second?

bkk6060 Posted December 2, 2020 Share Posted December 2, 2020 No. I think your Indian restaurant reviews should be considered as the winner. thanks 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post champers Posted December 2, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted December 2, 2020 I reckon Covid has generated a huge amount of topics and posts this year. Throw in the US Presidential election, ongoing Brexit discourse and the Thai political situation for good measure and I wonder how TVF traffic compares to previous years. I am sure a mod would know. I would do away with POTY anyway as it has got a bit nasty and personal and would prefer to see a thread of the year - TOTY. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Kinnock Posted December 2, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted December 2, 2020 I try to avoid the POTY process as much as I try to avoid COVID. It just seems to degenerate into a slanging match each year, and the result seems to be based on quantity and not quality. And can't the post stats be used to create the shortlist - positive responses per 1000 posts for example? It would save us all from the lobbying. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lacessit Posted December 2, 2020 Share Posted December 2, 2020 I was under the impression that by general agreement, POTY 2020 had already been cancelled a couple of months ago due to the spite that was vented in 2019. I'm sure there's a thread somewhere about it. While there have been some worthy winners, IMO it's reached its use-by date. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The last couple of years POTY had something like a hundred or 2 voting for the winner, which out of 50,000 or so members is pretty poor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since when have facts ever had anything to do with either election?
