=== What is #ThemeMonday? ===
[https://pnut.io/tags/ThemeMonday '''#ThemeMonday'''] ''(live hashtag at pnut.io)'' has a simple premise; a group of like-minded people change their avatars on or around the second Monday of every month, to a theme chosen by them after shortlisting and then a vote.
=== Approximate timeline, rule: ===
(Starting a week prior.)
# Weekend: Ask for suggestions,
# Thursday evening: Create poll,
# Saturday evening/Sunday morning: Announce result!

== History: ==
* Originally proposed by @alicia and ably implemented and run by @berklee, [http://bazbt3.github.io/thememonday/ #ThemeMonday] ''(an ADN Wiki page)'' was indisputably App.net's most popular regular event. @bazbt3 took over from @berklee and ran it for a while. App.net closed down on March 16 2017 so most links below will cease to work, but the memories of all participants will undoubtedly remain with them forever.
* In the event of a tiebreaker being necessary, @bazbt3 previously sent a PM to @mlv's [https://alpha.app.net/eliza_bot Eliza_Bot] asking her to <code>roll 1dn</code> (where <code>n</code> was the number of tying choices.)

=== Byelaws: ===
# In the event of a tiebreaker being necessary @bazbt3 will roll a die. To be determined due to location-based constraints: whether a physical, electronic or totally imaginary die will be utilised.
# Effective theme recycling strategies are one key to success; participants tend to guide suggestions away from those already chosen for #ThemeMondays. However, dependence on e.g. world events, the seasons, nostalgia, etc.; all of these preclude the setting of formal rules.
