Question, when will the poll be closed?

Good question...let's say midnight ET Sun. I'll be asleep but someone can yell domino if they are so inclined.

"Which entry will adorn the new breadboarding thread?"

I thought it was going to be a whole sub-forum...

EDIT: Darn, just thought of another silly name "Raisin-Bread Board".
and I can't vote for my "Fig New-Tones", 'cause it was derivative of Carlinb17's already mentioned "Sir Fig Newton" — (I should've checked first). Besides, my entry should've been:
"Dr Figlove or: How I Learned to Stop Soldering and Love the Breadboard"

Well, you need bread to make a Sub sandwich, don’t ‘cha?…

While that would be insanely cool (with all the additional options), I just assumed it would use too much real estate so I didn't ask about a whole section. He did say we could do some more custom prefixes to help delineate things.

Edit: Gotcha...not a thread, but a forum. Wow I'm slow.

 

[Feral Feline]

My humour, if you can call it that, was too obtuse.

If it was just a thread that needed naming, you could just start a thread with the name. I'll stop before it all becomes completely unravelled.

A totally valid train of thought. Unfortunately, I only have the caboose in my set and no engine.

"The Test Kitchen" is pulling away from the pack...(well, by one vote...but it sounds more dramatic)

Polls close tonight. Get your votes in.

I'm fig and I approve this message.

 

[PapaBear]

Looks like they've doubled their lead to 2

Hey! Fig Nuts got a vote! I had a dollar on it to show.

We have a winner! The new forum name by popular vote is "The Test Kitchen", submitted by @Coda !

The prize? It's a VERY cool 126-value (.5Ω - 4.3MΩ)1% 1/4-watt resistor sample book. I'm on my 3rd. It takes up way less space than a drawer bin (though I use one for common values).

Congrats @Coda !
Cool prize and a great way to file resistors. I repurposed an old binder with a basketball card series from the early 90s for that use (+ other small components).


And Tim, once again, thanks for spicing things up with all these contests, this forum is lucky to have you!

Wow, that's even better! Reuse, repurpose, recycle!

 

[Coda]

I'll be damned.
