THREAD OF THE YEAR 2007

[Rotax Robert]

OK, there are tons and tons of great posts on this site, so I would like everybody cast your vote on your favourite top 3 threads 2007 (not forums)

I'll go first and in no particular order.

1. Felling with D. Douglas Dent

2. The Beranek Big Tree Thread

3. Undecided, I will edit it in later (i've got 4 I am mulling over and re-reading)

:drink:

[gf beranek]

I'm going to have to back up and think a bit on that. A lot of good info was exchanged this year.

Thanks to Butch and all the members.

Cheerleader, #1 on my list.

Will futher review 2007 threads

[Jonseredbred]

I am gonna have to say OM's thread on All American Steve. Or maybe any thread greg pask posted in.

But in reality the best threads this year were the auction threads to help out MB and Jerry, they showed how a bunch of rag tag tree guys from all walks of life joined together to help out someone else in need.

[MasterBlaster]

Word. I was suprised as hell. I'd like to have seen the same reaction at the Buzz, or AS.

Again I say thank all of you.

Re-the auction for fellows threads

There is different dynamic at work on this forum. I've never gone into a bar for anything other than a hamburger or to use the phone but I see that the "lounge" concept really went past merely being your forum subtitle. This is place where friends get together to shoot the breeze and find out what is going on.

[MasterBlaster]

My idea exactly. Thank you, sir! :drink:

[sotc]

i was thinking the auction where carl gave me the chance to have jerrys saw was one of my 3. still thinking of the others

[The Branch Doctor]

Wow, I'm going to say I don't think I can do it. I tried going back and looking but there are so many threads that had great significance to me that there's no way I can pinpoint just 3.... or 30 for that matter.

The Tree House is just a plethora of fantastic information.... can't beat that!:D

[vharrison]

I don't think you could call it a favorite thread, but a favorite moment was when Mr. Beranek showed up in the "who's on line" box at the bottom of the forum. I quickly shot off a pm to MB and said, do you see him? He is here! (just like a little kid would do!)
I walked by two of his books in the office yesterday and thought to myself how lucky I am to read him everyday. Thanks Gerry for sharing your wealth of knowledge with us.

We are blessed with so many great members who create great threads. Thanks to all of you who have had the courage to start a thread.

For thread of the year 2007 I nominate any thread I have started 8)

[Old Monkey]

I vote for the thread where I and a few others were duped into thinking Nick was going to raffle off a forestry rig and chipper.

That was a good thread!!!!

[Paul B]

that one had me hook, line and sinker, I admit it. :)

[Chisel Tooth]

That was the best practical joke thread of the year for sure. SO what's the prize, a Master Blaster statue? you know like the Oscar. Sweet good luck ya'll.
See ya
Mike

[MasterBlaster]

The prize is the cover of the Wesspur catalog.

[Chisel Tooth]

The best thread of 2007 on the Tree House is going to be in the Wesspur catalog? WOW!
See ya
Mike

[MasterBlaster]

Uh oh~! It musta been those stoopid biscuits I had for breakfast!

Belay the last!!! :|:

[Chisel Tooth]

[Blinky]

I'm too new around here to say but the cheerleader thread was VERY good.

[Chisel Tooth]

Yes Sir! it holds a special place in my heart.
See Ya
Mike

[Old Monkey]

Heart? I think you need an anatomy class refresher.

[Chisel Tooth]

Easy Darin it's family hour.:P

[Skwerl]

My favorite thread of the year is the "so how'd it go today" thread. This is the thread I check first when I come online at the end of the day. It's one of the threads that makes this place much more than just an online forum for tree guys to insult each other's pictures and pick on each other for not wearing the proper safety gear (no, I wasn't thinking about TB when I said that).

That is my favorite also. I love it when there are a couple of pages of unread posts in this thread when I get home.

I like that about this place, I sure dont work any big trees and I appreciate the fact that I can post the dinky stuff I do work on and be proud of what I do. Even if y'all are really laughing to yourself and just biting your toungue to not razz me !! :D

[stehansen]

Most of the stuff I work on is dinky also.

[MasterBlaster]

So use trick camera angles! :P

[Raafbeard]

Can i nominate this one! ...

The Beranek Big Tree Thread

Maybe i didn't pay enough attention to other threads (sorry!) but think this post holds inspiration for us all and reminds us that what we do is much more than a job!!

Damn I need smileys ....anyway off to check out something about cheerleaders!! ;-)

[MasterBlaster]

You now have smileys.

[rumination]

Ditto on the Beranek Big Tree Thread. That one was awesome!

[Raafbeard]

You now have smileys.

Nice one MB! 8) ...right cheerleaders!! :/:

Hah!!! No shame there, brother. I PREFER dinky trees and most of mine are, too. But a lot of the same principles apply and I like getting to apply them...and when I post a job I like to get feedback from folks that know more than I do. There is a lot to learn here and good folks that are willing to share and teach with patience.

And Beranek's Big Tree thread gets my vote...there was a lot of good sharing there.

[Skwerl]

Just a bump for this thread so that we can start thinking about our picks for the best thread of 2008. We still have a few weeks before the end of the year but it's not too early. :/:

[Thor's Hammer]

The president thread is got to be a runner :)

[Bounce]

Beranek big tree thread gets my vote. Some of those pics would make a great catalog cover!

[inztrees]

I like the respond to the pic with a pic or the not work safe pic

[OTGBOSTON]

[sotc]
