2010 Member Awards

[JDFP]

No one else has started it yet (Ahem, Andy???), so I figured... shit, let's do it.

Here's a direct quote from Andy on how it works from last year's member awards:


2009 member awards

We've do this on a couple of forums, thought id give it a try here, all you have to do is nominate whoever you like for each catergory, ill count up the nominations and see who wins. You dont need to vote in every catergory, just the ones you want to and feel free to invent some catergories of your own, and remember its all just abit of fun of course.

One rule, your not allowed to nominate yourself.

Nomation Catergories :

Best Quote (who posted your most memorable quote)



I have a few I'm going to go with here...

Best Male Member: Wyldwraith: The man has the best freaking posts here. His posts are always insightful and full of considered ideas. He keeps things fascinating.

Best Female Member: Wait, we have women here? Are they allowed?

Best ZFE Member: Bassman. He's like the Times Square in New York. It wouldn't be HPotD without him here.

Best Staff Member: Cap... err, Andy. :sneaky: :D

Wish you'd come back award: Arcades. Very rarely posts, but they are always interesting posts when done.

The Rhodes Award: DubiousComforts: Because Leo is too easy and Dub always gets people going -- which is always entertaining. I give him major kudos too because he always makes me think (and I'd imagine everyone too).

Best meme's/images: Minionzombie: No explanation needed.

I'm sure I'll think of a few more, but damnit.. it's time to get this ball rolling...

j.p.

[MinionZombie]

Moon's memes/images are better than mine, no doubt. :) Lou and Moon really spur each other on too, hehe.

I'll have a go at this, just off the top of my head, like.

Best Male Member: Bassman (for his Ghostbusters love), Moon (for his meme-tastic-ness), and Lou (for the bacon)

Best Female Member: Chic or Debs

Best ZFE (nominee must have 5000+ posts) Member: Me, motherfuckers, I've got the most posts! :lol::sneaky::p:p:p

Best Staff Member: Aces (the new boy, so I'm showing some love) :)

Favourite American: Lou (again, for the bacon)

Favourite Brit: Aside from myself, because I simply am so awesome, I'll go for ... Tricky or KidGloves or LoSTBoY

Wish you'd come back award (Your favourite Member who stopped coming by): I think last year I said Lou, and that worked, so I'm all tapped out. :D

The Rhodes Award (Most Antagonistic Member): DubiousComforts, but not for being a dick, just for getting a real rowdy forum zombie discussion going on. :p

Best Quote (who posted your most memorable quote): I never keep track of these things, but there's one in my signature.

[LouCipherr]

Moon's memes/images are better than mine, no doubt. :) Lou and Moon really spur each other on too, hehe.

Moon is the master, I'm just the padawan. ;) Speaking of which, where's Moon been lately? I miss him. He's my brother from another mother. :D



Best Male Member: I'm going with a three-way (giggity) with this one: Bassman, Moon & Darth Los - bassman always stings me with zingers which I so rightfully deserve and own wholeheartedly :o not to mention he's always a good conversationalist in every way and isn't afraid to jump into any topic. Darth never fails to entertain me with every single post he makes... and Moon? Well, I could speak volumes about Moon, but we're just going to leave it at "he rocks" - period. :D

Best Female Member: Chic or Debs (MZ said the same thing, and I agree with him)

Best ZFE (nominee must have 5000+ posts) Member: *sigh* I guess I'll have to vote for MZ... :lol: j/k, he deserves this one. ;)

Best Staff Member: ALL OF THEM - for putting up with my shit on an almost daily basis and not kicking me to the curb. These guys all deserve Nobel Prizes for dealing with the likes of me. :shifty: :D

Favourite American: I'm going with bassman or Aces on this one. :thumbsup: Sorry, can't just pick one. :p

Favourite Brit: MZ, FTW!

Wish you'd come back award (Your favourite Member who stopped coming by): I'm not sure who disappeared recently or in the past year, so I can't really comment. One thing I'd like to warn ALL the members about: Last year, MZ nominated me for this catagory, and look what happened. Let that be a lesson: Be careful who you vote for, because sometimes... they come back! (did you see what I just did there? :lol:)


The Rhodes Award (Most Antagonistic Member): I think we all know who should REALLY win this catagory, but I'm not about to name names. Not to mention I think "antagonistic" is too weak of a word.

Best Quote (who posted your most memorable quote): MZ comes up with so many hilarious fucking quotes, there's no way I could possibly just post one. Lets just say he wins this shit hands down. I've said it before, I'll say it again - the mofo has a serious way with words, and is a master at the hilarious, quotable posts (for an example, go see the "itchy balls" post by Dj a few months back.. *snicker*). Dj comes up with some good zingers too, but I think MZ pretty much sweeps the catagory here. :D


That is all.


PS - BACON! :p

[EvilNed]

Best Male Member: I like Mikes'. It's got both girth and leng-... Oh! I get it! Uhm. Still Mike?

Best Female Member: Debbie, though she's not around that much anymore.

Best ZFE (nominee must have 5000+ posts) Member: Bassman?

Best Staff Member: Andy or Neil. I think Andy, but they are both nice. Sorry Neil.

Favourite American: Stalin.

Favourite Brit: Lenin.

Wish you'd come back award (Your favourite Member who stopped coming by): Capn.

The Flyboy Award (Most Helpful Member): PJoseph.

The Rhodes Award (Most Antagonistic Member) There hasn't been much drama here, so... I'm gonna go with.. Capn again... Sorry. Too soon?

[darth los]

What are the reasons that I'm even still around, bassman?

[MinionZombie]

Awww yeah, I'm sweeping the "favourite Brit" category this year ... there's a lot of "buzz" around this year for me winning that one. :p;)

/japery :D

[bassman]

What are the reasons that I'm even still around, bassman?

Your interviews? Other than that you're just a troll. Now lets not bog down this thread with your usual trolling ways.

[thxleo]

Your interviews? Other than that you're just a troll. Now lets not bog down this thread with your usual trolling ways.

I've been a member of this message board or visiting this message board since the late '90's. How does that make me a troll? You don't think your statement to me is antagonistic or trollish? You don't think your snide remarks are trollish? I have a different opinion than you, and others as well, so I state that opinion. That makes me a troll?

My interviews are actual contributions to this website and they actually make it a better and more informative website. Trust me when I tell you that AMC had no clue that homepageofthedead.com existed until I contacted them. Andrew Lincoln made it a point to personally thank me in NY at the Comic Con because I was helping to publicize the show on a website devoted to George Romeo and not The Walking Dead. I've made actual contributions here, not high post counts.

But since you feel that I'm only here because of those interviews, how about if I stop contributing them then? Will that ensure that I'm "bounced" from here? Will I be banned because I actually have the nerve to share my thoughts that are not the same as some of the other members?

[bassman]

There's a difference between posting your thoughts and opinions and trying to stir up trouble. Don't act as if I'm the first to tell you this, either. I'm not the first and I won't be the last.

The award asked for the most antagonistic member and I stated who that is. And as you can see....I'm not the only one that thinks so.

[blind2d]

Besides, it's not like the awards are at all important, anyway...
Obviously, since 'I' haven't been nominated by anyone...

[thxleo]

Kind of like the way you're not the only one that thought the remake of Halloween was superior to the original?

Again, I post my opinion because it's the way I feel about something. You respond by saying that it's designed to "stir up trouble". No, it's not. It's designed to state my opinion and you, and some others, don't agree with it. What would you like to see happen to those who disagree with you, bassman? Have their opinions removed or have them removed? That's not very nice or mature, is it?

Believe me, I certainly don't mind having others out there disagree with me. It's boring when everyone thinks exactly the same. DubiousComforts is someone that I respect a great deal and he and I couldn't be further apart on our political views. But we understand how to respectfully disagree on certain things without it getting nasty.

After fighting cancer this year, there's not much that truly bothers me anymore. There's certainly a lot more to life than what someone on a message board thinks about you, especially when that person or those persons don't really know you or know anything about you.

Now, back to my question that you didn't answer. If I stop contributing interviews for the website, does that ensure that I will be "bounced" from here?

Sorry to hear about your cancer issue, but that doesn't change the fact you're a DICK.

Lee, the only time you CONTRIBUTE is to brag about a new interview or the fact you landed screeners from AMC, when you post in other topics it is with a snide tone and the ultimate goal of stirring up trouble. This is why a lot of people don't like you. While you may have friends outside of HPOTD, I am sure those on here who are friends with you.... is a very small number. If you didn't come off some goddamn arrogant and elitist you may not have brought down the wrath you have gotten, especially from me.

I don't like you because you act like a dick. Not in a joking way, but ina total I am dick and proud of it way.

When you chimed into Lou's thread you could have worded it differently, or made hinted at what you wanted to say a different way, but obviously you're oblivious to sarcasm and humor. Were you not hugged as a child?

Anyway, Cancer issue aside, which I hope you overcome, bad blood between us or not I don't like to think of losing anyone to cancer... even if I can't fucking stand them, it is a terrible and brutal disease/illness... However, cancer aside, you're still a dick, and until you change your ways you can bet I will be all over you like fleas on a chicken.

Gary, thanks for the somewhat kind thoughts. I guess? :confused:

Anyway, how about this? Since the new year is here, what if we make a concerted effort to avoid nasty squabbles? That doesn't mean that we can't have major differences of opinions, but that we just agree to disagree. What do you think about that?

[Trin]

That's what SHE said!!!


.... is my offering for best quote. And the winner is... ALL OF YOU!!

[bassman]

But we understand how to respectfully disagree on certain things without it getting nasty.



That's all anyone wants here, man. Of course people have different opinions. The difference is in what manner you convey those opinions. I've tried repeatedly in the past to clear things up with you, but then you come in with name-calling and rude remarks that just aren't necessary. You've even gone as far as to insult me in threads in which I haven't addressed you at all. It's just the way you go about it.

By all means....have any opinion you like. Gary and I HIGHLY disagree with each other on Land and Dawn04, but we don't result to calling names. Same with Lou and the Halloween thing. It's just that they handle it in a kinder "tone" while you generally come in with insulting words like "idiotic".

The last thing I want on a message board is drama. I come here to escape the bullshit drama of every day life. It's meant to be a fun time. And I think your idea of turning over a new leaf is GREAT. Let's see if we can do that.

And as always....sorry about the cancer scare. Hopefully everything will work out well for you.

EDIT: I also wanted to add that I've not been perfect with these scenarios either. I've made some poor choices in words when the debates have been heated and I need to keep myself in check, as well.

Sounds good, bassman. I think we can learn to live with one another pretty easily, to be honest...and thanks also for the well wishes. :)

[Mr. Clean]

I'm not trying to cause more shit out of this dilemma but I figured a thread of this type would cause some shit. Which is one of the reasons why I withheld my opinion. The other two reaons being I'm still a novice to these forums and my only nomination would have been for the The Rhodes Award but seeing how it appears to be a dick award, my nomination didn't fit the catagory being a half pussy half asshole. We'll just call him a passhole. :D

Winning the Dick award isn't sooooo bad...:o


See, there's three kinds of people: dicks, pussies, and assholes. Pussies think everyone can get along, and dicks just want to fuck all the time without thinking it through. But then you got your assholes, Chuck. And all the assholes want us to shit all over everything! So, pussies may get mad at dicks once in a while, because pussies get fucked by dicks. But dicks also fuck assholes, Chuck. And if they didn't fuck the assholes, you know what you'd get? You'd get your dick and your pussy all covered in shit! - Guy in Bar from Team America

[AcesandEights]

Guys, let's leave this thread for it's intended purpose and not continue to turn it into a means to air personal grievances, flame/bait fellow members etc.

You have PMs to contact fellow members if you feel the need to reach out to them or you could just use the ignore feature if civility is somehow beyond your ability, either way, stop monopolizing this thread for the negative.

Happy New Year!

Well if i was going to count up everyones votes and decide a winner id probably disqualify you all becuase it clearly states the only rule is your not allowed to vote for yourself.

So i suppose the winner is me seeing as ned voted for me and the rest of you are disqualified?
