It's called the Royalty thread, folks, Royalty for a Week. Started by Jenna Glatzer, bless her heart. Here is the first post made by Jenna in Feb 2006:
==================================
OK, folks, I've squashed the Love Battles (sorry to be a killjoy), but I still like what My-Immortal was trying to do, so I have another thought on showin' the love.
Anyone can name another person on this board King/Queen of the Day. Just post here to say who you're electing and why, and let the fawning begin! Everyone else can join in to say why they appreciate that member, and the royal member gets to make royal decrees and stuff.
So!
Today I elect Sean D. Schaffer King for the Day because he always makes me smile, and he always has a kind word for everyone he encounters.
Thanks, King Sean!

EDITED: The royal reigns were moving too swiftly for us to keep up, so now we've decided to have Royalty for the Week instead of Royalty for the Day. And the tradition is for the current king or queen to name a successor.
===================================
If you have a person you think should be honored for a week, please submit their name to the ruling King or Queen. This week, the monarch is Queen Overtired. Come by the castle and say hi, stay for refreshments and entertainment, and don't forget to leave your candidate's name in the Queen's pm box. I am sure she will appreciate the ideas. And pass on those names not chosen to the next ruler.
Eat, drink, be merry. For next week you could wear the crown!
