End of Decade Poll

For the dwindling few who still post here...a Giant End of Decade Poll!...in case you need something to do while nursing a hangover tomorrow :)

Poll applies to anything between 2010-2019. Feel free to answer for just WAG or MAG or one for both.
Note: “Best” usually means best objectively (although there's still subjectivity in how you interpret "best"), while“Favorite” means your personal fave, no holds barred, no wrong opinions.

Elise Ray Question

Guys, I remember years ago there was a discussion that mentioned how Elise Ray had faced some teasing in school for being in gymnastics. I wanted to find the info again to help someone out but I can't find the post. Does anyone remember the details and could you possibly refresh me on what happened?

What would you want in a Gymnternet app/site?

Hey all,

Just asking what the title says, basically! My group in coding bootcamp is trying to decide on a project, and I was thinking how we kind of need a site for the gymnternet, as this one isn't modded anymore so nobody new can join. What features would you like to see if someone were creating a site for this community? (Yes, it's for a class, but actually enacting it wouldn't necessarily be a problem.)
