August WOTM competition - final week

A day late, but the results are out.  And technically Wrenfoe has won again by a country mile, however by the rules of the competition - specifically a rule proposed by good old Wren himself - the title cannot be won two months in a row so the title this month goes to dominic_mcg, mainly for his 17 wonderful tickers.  It's great to see a ticker writer take the title as they only score one point apiece so those who specialise in that skillset have to be more prolific than any other writer.  Well done dom.

The top spot was also hotly contested by a few others including Daneade,  YB, Oxy and Titus.  I might have had a few subs in there too.  It might sound corny, but this isn't just about winning the crown and I've a lot of respect for each and every name on this list - all good work given freely, I think a group hug should be on the cards!

As usual I will be posting the month's ticker list in the chat room and given that a ticker writer has won the title I think we all should mosey over there and review this month's crop.
