Lovely Hubskiers,
We are going to put together the best content posted to Hubski in the last year and we need your help! In a couple weeks, I will go through all comments in this post or other posts (tagged #bestof2015) and compile a list like this one from 2013.
1. Best Posts
2. Best Discussions / Debates
3. Best Comments
4. Best comment that, when taken out of context, is even better.
Get your searching hats on, go through old posts and comments, and try to find the most amazing stuff of the year. You can utilize the random button too! To find this elusive button, first go to the donate page, donate some money to help us pay for the servers this month, then look in the footer for the random button. Easy as pie! ;)
We would also like to invite you to make your own #bestof2015 posts throughout the remainder of this month. They can be your own best comments ( cough narcissist cough ) or the best content from your blog or favorite site. They can be insightful, weird, thoughtful, outrageous, or anything in between. Remember, you can use post lists to collect all your Best Of's!
Have fun with it and we look forward to remembering and rediscovering the very best of the best. Thank you!

You'd be surprised. someguyfromcanada it was a combination of the following: Badged posts/comments Saved posts/comments Some use of the search function (such as for the Death Valley post) Filtering through popular tags I'm sure you could play with the API to perform a search that would return popular posts and comments, but that would be skewed because of the huge influx of users we had in the middle of the year.
yes hello. endorsing butterflyeffect's list
Below are some big moments for Hubski and one for a Hubskier. I'll add more as I can. I dig the welcome to redditors because mk clearly tells what it is we are all about. New team member Welcome to Hubski Redditors
also, are these /bo2014 etc pages not called out anywhere on the site? how are people supposed to find them? (tmi might be a good start, but really they should get their own tab i think -- serve as a pretty good gateway to show people hubski)
I started browsing #goodlongread to look for ideas and found so many good things I missed (some with zero shares) my feed is now full of pushpins and I have to click "more" to see new material. Here's just one "Best Post" -- I'll try to flush out my unread backlog so I can mention some more.
