I always liked this thread, so I thought it was time to reopen it on the new site. Basically the purpose of this thread is to nominate posts from historical topics that are well written, or for another reason deserve special mention. Here is a link to Komnenos' opening post from the old thread:

Excellent, Justinian! And one post will be selected to go in the newsletter. One is due out in less than a week, for September - so get busy nominating!

If anyone has any nominations for post of the month, please post them here ASAP as Dawn and I will be releasing the September newsletter at the beginning of (funnily enough) September! Thanks. |

My vote goes for Rider's post on the "Coolest Aussie AE member poll", posted on the 11th August. My favourite post that I have seen on AE in the short time that I have been here so far:

Yeh, Kang's post gets my vote too.
Rider's would be funnier if you know him and Praetor/Sam better. ![]() |

Wow, Thank you guys, especially es_bih for nominating. and Knights, Justinian and Balaam for voting.
Is this how Lord Byron felt when he said he woke up one morning and found himself famous. In that case i should also write about something based on my personal sexual conquests, I'm sure that will be much funnier than this. ![]() ![]() You know, I was just farting around with my laptop and now this. I guess if I fart around long enough it become a nice piece of crap sometimes....

For some reason, when I came to post here this topic was locked. And the other open topic is restricted to two old post of the month nominations. So I am re-opening this thread and closing and de-stickying the other one.
Anyway, I want to nominate DrG for this very inspired piece of wisdom that hit the nail so precisely on the head that the nail is now in warp speed and has traversed dimensional boundaries, never to be seen again.

We have just the one submission for post of the month for April. Congratulations to Northman forhis insights into human attraction and behaviour:
http://www.worldhistoria.com/sexual-attraction-over-lifecourse_topic127526.html If we receive more submissions for Post of the Month for May, we can certainly hold a poll to decide the winner from the different submissions. |

I suggested elsewhere Frederic Roger's post at

(note: I mean the one further down at 12:02 CET April 30).

I didn't get a PM and there was no suggestion in this thread. Where did you make the recommendation? |

In the Forumer of the Month thread I mentioned it as a candidate if the post of the month was revived.
"As a choice I'm happy with Northman, but if there was a post of the month I'd nominate Frederic Roger's post on Henry the Navigator, which showed the kind of expertise that attracts me here. Still while the post was excellent, Frederic is sadly not here enough to qualify for a Forumer award. " I agree that wasn't a formal proposal.

As I'm flattered that someone would nominate my little tweak on life-experience, I must agree with gcle2003 that Frederic Roger's post is an excellent example of a quality post. I will nominate his post. |
