Best Avatar:
To
djchameleon and
jackhammer, because one avatar is quite sexy, while the other one has a girl in a bikini.
Most Enigmatic:
canwllcorfe has a strange name, strange avatars and strange musical tastes so he`s very mysterious to me, but the real enigma is
lovesong, who posts with care, but who doesn`t invite any dialogue or comment.
Angriest Member:
Skaligojura is angry in a good way. He`s like MB`s conscience, telling us to challenge our musical preconceptions and take music as seriously as he does.
Nicest Member:
s_k must be the friendliest guy here, opening the
Cafe and
Cribs threads, just to make MB a more sociable place.
At a more individual level, when
Vegangelica opens a thread she is attentive to every poster, making them feel that their contributions are both welcome and valued. Scanning the boards then joining her threads is like walking from a windy street into a warm home.
Best Debater:
tore has the patience to research before he posts. He`s always ready with references, reasons and questions to move a debate onto another level. He is also prepared to reason with the unreasonable. Does anyone else remember how, with a masterpiece of polite analysis, he told
Baggs that he wasn`t welcome ?
Worst Debater:
The recently arrived
steveeden specialises in posts that are long on bombast but short on logic.
Smartest Poster:
Just one cool, concise line from
Janszoon can cut through pages of lesser posts.
Funniest Member:
Sometimes funny haha, and sometimes funny strange,
tumor uses inexplicable words like choad and queef. On balance, I think I prefer not knowing what they mean ...
Biggest Contributor:
Undoubtedly
Pedestrian, who puts up the weekly themed threads, who is making Christmas hats, who is running the most successful album club ... and who opened this thread too.
Most Underrated Poster:
He has a very mature, low-key approach, never drawing much attention to himself, so it`s easy to miss just how active
Jack Pat is, in a variety of forums.
mrd00d - so underrated that I forgot about him first time round !
Most Obscure Music Taste:
dankrsta, Jack Pat and
Skaligojura
Best Music Taste:
If best means "most like mine", then
blastingas10 shares my liking for Dylan and southern rock.
Biggest Music Nerd:
By their threads and comments,
jackhammer,Janszoon, Urban Hatemonger and
Il Duce all seem to possess a limitless knowledge of music. Finding the boundaries of their knowledge is like looking for the edge of the universe - it`s always furthur away than you can see.
Most Missed Poster:
Petula07, dj, moshe, AwSugar are just a couple that spring to mind.
Thread of the Year:
Two threads about the year 2011 that I enjoyed reading:-
Stu`s thread about the London riots, complete with posts from the front line, was like MB meets CNN;
http://www.musicbanter.com/current-e...-riots-11.html
TheCunningStunt`s obituary to Amy Winehouse stirred up some lively debate, made memorable by the heartfelt defense of AW by legendary recluse,
Right Track;

Journal of the Year:
Must get round to reading these properly sometime.
Moderator of the Year:
First place to
Pedestrian, who has helped me out so much, second place to
Janszoon for the same reason.
Best New Member 2011:
fatzsp keeps his posts short, but he has a genuine interest in various types of music and opened up some interesting threads.
Mighty Salami has only been here a couple of months but has fitted in really quickly.
I hope
Agento maintains his enthusiam and sticks around too.
Member of the Year 2011:
If anyone deserves this hard-to-define title, I think it would go to
Pedestrian for all her hard work and good ideas.
Finally, a quick thanks to
tore, Urban Hatemonger and everyone else who has given me a positive mention here.
