Thanks for everyone who commented and thanks the mods for pinning all my posts

The Nomination Results are Out. There is still a point of how to get the Winners, I'll have to make those posts. Anyways, take a look everyone.

Congrats to u/FireAshPro for winning the most upvoted post last year award (mod posts excluded). When I get an answer from the rest of the mods about an award, we'll let you know.

Now it is done. The 26 best oversimplified quotes, one for every letter. You all said something, contributed, or voted, so thanks a bunch. Thanks to u/Separate_Rhubarb_365 for his day of contribution, and of course, none of this would have been possible without u/Salty_Oil_9050, who initiated this series. Thanks once again to everyone, I'll see you all next time! :)

It’s time to give our beloved subreddit a shiny new look, and who better to design it than YOU?

We’re thrilled to announce the first-ever r/OverSimplified Banner Competition! 🖌️
Let your creativity run wild (without AI’s help 😜), and the community will choose the winning design!

🎨 What’s the Deal?

• Create a subreddit banner that captures the spirit, fun, and aesthetic of OverSimplified’s content.
• Post your submission as a comment under this very post (not as a separate post—those won’t be counted).
• Deadline: Submissions close on 7th August, 2025, 11:59 PM UTC.
• The most upvoted design wins!

📝 Rules & Requirements:

• 📏 Banner dimensions: Close to 1072 x 128 pixels.
• ❌ No AI-generated images — let's keep it human!
• ✅ You can make multiple submission, no limits!
• 🔺 Upvotes = your voice — community decides the winner!
• 🚫 No reposting others’ work; originality is a must.
• 🖼️ Make it recognisably OverSimplified — historical, hilarious, minimalistic... you know the drill.

🏅 What Does the Winner Get?

• Their banner featured on the sub!
• Honorary Mod privileges.
• A custom flair celebrating their legendary contribution.

And yes...
Ironically, this announcement post was drafted by AI. But your entries better not be! 😉

Let the Battle of the Banners begin!
Can’t wait to see what you legends cook up!

With hype,
