<p>[QUOTE=&quot;raider34, post: 913822, member: 16402&quot;]There has been a lot of talk recently about the loss of both the TOTW and Clinker awards. For those of you who don&#039;t know the TOTW (Thread of the Week) award was set up on CoinTalk on July 25th 2008, and the idea of the award was: (From Peter)</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>The TOTW award ran until late August 2009, when problems with the forum software no longer allowed it. In that time there were over 60 threads that won the TOTW. There is tons of great info in those threads, and unfortunately when the TOTW award stopped working, so did the section that held all the threads. Luckily the original nomination threads are still in the Announcement section. So I went back and organized all the winning threads. (There was a lot of counting, and threads to go through, so if you catch any errors please let me know).</p><p><br /></p><p style="text-align: center"><u><b>July 2008</b></u></p> <p style="text-align:
