2011 Forum Awards

[insane569]

I honestly can't tell what side you are on here. These two sentences seem to me like a good argument to not have the "worst" categories.

Im on the side for keeping the best/worst.
Not like making examples of people for being bad at something.

 

[Sa967St]

Why don't you just go ahead and ignore everything I'm saying right now, I don't know what point I'm making myself.

I don't have a good reason to delete the posts, so I won't.
I'll just try to make good judgments on which categories to include.

 

[Robocopter87]

You can still look up to a good member without having the title of being the worst.

Edit: Example: I really look up to mods and members like Brest, Lucas Garron, and Statue, I want to be like them ont his forum. However, I don't need the title of Worst Member to make me want to be like them.

I mean, do new users ever really look at the forum awards and look up to the winners? I was under the impression that this was pretty much a chance for the forum regulars to just have fun with giving the awards, in which case there's no reason not to give awards out for the bad categories.

There we go. Problem Solved. End of Discussion. Compromise is pro.

Thanks sarah

End of Discussion.

Nah, we're going to keep faffing about for a few more pages, beating a dead horse, until the thread gets locked. That's usually how it works around here.

I know getting most worsened noob in 2009 made me improve. I think awards like that tell you that you need to improve.
Then again I never won most improved noob, so I suppose I'm still a terrible poster

So true

Thats what I was trying to get at but couldn't figure out how to say it.

Not that I know of. Last year and the year before I read over the forum awards thread for fun, and it was great since it was a good overview of some awesome things from the forums. Other than bragging rights, the winners don't get much out of it.

How is anyone that stupid, or that bad of a troll, or both?

Ah, well, that's the American educational system for you.

Good, then I guess we should keep that one. Perhaps it will do good.

I never said to get rid of all of them. I simply said some are just plain out bad and need to be reomoved because they just encourage bad behavior.

Also, lol wut at the linked post. Can't tell if serious or trolling though.

Its how it usually works on internet forums. But nonetheless, doing it because its the norm doesn't justify it.

[Owen]

Why does everyone think I'm a noob? I am not.

 

[RyanReese09]

May I then refer to Owen Notation?

 

[Kirjava]

Because of this. Wasn't that obvious?

Most clueless member: Members that weren't around for the best part of 2011 but are still nominating. You're all in the running.

Thanks for the thumbs up guys, nice to know that my posts are appreciated by some Most unexpected and delightful at the same time.

I'm only posting to dump this on your laps though: Emolover didn't spell my screen name correctly...I have officially been dumped

 

[emolover]

The only reason I did that is because I sound the name as bâp(eh)ō.

Owen Notation was, and still is, a good idea.
