    Thread of the day is picked automatically and is randomly selected from those threads started in the previous 24 hours.

    Ok thanks.

    Beruthiel - "I went to the gym and I'm sore" made me laugh. Perhaps it is just my warped sense of humour.

    Don't lie to him, we all know it's picked by the boards bot using an advanced algorithim. It bases its choice on caluclation of the number of spelling mistakes, lol's, quotage, smilies and the total post count of the threads contributors.

    Probably works on new threads created within 24 hrs, which has had lots of views coupled with a generous amount of posts.

    Create a thread entitled "Beruthiel naked". I bet that will become thread of the day pretty soon. :D
