The Top 30 eBrandon Threads of 2017
12/31/2017 at 9:09 AM
With the 2017 calendar year having just a handful of hours left its time to look back at the year that was on the eBrandon discussion forums…. a year in which we just one week ago reached a pretty cool milestone when the 1,000,000th post was made. As has been tradition we do that reflecting in the form of counting down the Top 30 Threads of the past 12 months based on an internal formula that places weighting on the amount of times each discussion thread has been viewed along with the amount of times each has been read.
Below you will see each of those threads counted down from 30 to 1. Alongside each thread is a little extra info including the number of days the discussion was active, the ranking that thread had within the Top 30 in terms of number of views and the ranking in terms of number of replies. You’ll also find a link where you can click to review the thread itself.
Without further ado….

I’d like to thank everyone who was a part of forums over the past 12 months, be it as a reader or a poster. One of the things thats I’ve always thought to be a real strength of this part of the site is the diversity of voices we have contributing…. something that was demonstrated this year by the fact that out of the Top 30 Threads listed there were 28 different posters starting the discussion.
All the best in 2018… we’ll see you on the other side of midnight!
