We had some really great threads last year, with the following four nominated for the Thread of the Year award in this January's Environment Site Awards ceremony.

I think they're great and give a real sense of what the forum is capable of, so if you're looking for a reason to join, check these out.

So is young Levi offering to sit in the middle of the next natural disaster - say an earthquake in China - if natural disasters are so good?
