Now we all know that 2020 was a garbage fire year for most people. At least we had cube discussion to distract us from the turmoil of real life. So let's see what we liked the most over in our little corner of the world.
To my surprise, this year was the same as last year with there was 25 posts with 9+ likes, so we will count them down.
All the same liked posts will be put in alphabetical order of the user who posted, so all posts are equal, ignoring the number ranking (it just helps me count).
The Usual Disclaimer:
I scraped this data on the 1st of January 2020. The likes may have changed due to new members only just reading them (probably due to this post). A decent amount of these posts are very context-dependant, so if you don't get something, post it in this thread and we can help decipher it for you.
But without further ado, here are the most liked posts of 2020:

1. japahn - Embrace the Chaos
Japahn goes back to back years getting the top post. The excellent post about Embrace the Chaos/Cube Occasionals seemed to resonate a lot with the people of the forum and easily garnered the most likes this year. 2nd and 3rd go to solid posts from newcomers, which is always nice to get new blood flowing through the forum.
Chris and Velrun tie for the best meme post. Both only just an image, but both pretty hilarious.
Now for my quickfire titbits:
This post is my present to all you guys and I hope you enjoy. Here's to hoping 2021 isn't as much of a trainwreck of a year

Now for my quickfire titbits:
- Surprisingly June had the most amount of posts in the list with 5.
- February and November are the most 'unliked' months, but they both did have posts with 8 likes.
- 1,2,5: All of these top posts are the starts of new threads, which is certainly a good way to make that thread known.
- 13,14,15,24. Dom had the most best posts again this year. Man certainly knows how to hype up the forum.
- 8. ravnic and 9 Rasmus; Had the most liked spoiler of the year, both for big angry green cards (arguably)
- 12. Kirblinx - Thanks to all for cheering for my accomplishment, it means more than you know. (It's a shame what happened at the MOCS).
This post is my present to all you guys and I hope you enjoy. Here's to hoping 2021 isn't as much of a trainwreck of a year
