And here we are with the results of The Second Annual Pits as voted by you, the wonderful people of the Avocado. It’s been a big year for the site and I am really proud of everything that we have accomplished.
Gonna ask a favor from all the winners – If you won but someone didn’t have the specific comment or thread in their post, please post a link to it in the comments. It’s hard to dig through two pages worth of history and most people at this point are on private accounts anyway. So do us all a favor and link to your goodness so it can be celebrated. And upvoted.
