I've only had two distracting avatars!

Votes close 20th Dec.

Still holding out for least mentioned *fingers crossed*

Ouch! (pulls knife from heart).

;)

I'll try to make '09 a better year. :)

Alright, I haven't been here long - only for a month or so - or even less, but I'll give this a shot. I won't have nominations for every category, though.


Poster of the Year: Jackhammer. He's an active man and I see his posts everywhere. A combination of his charming personae and his more lasting contributions like his Pink Floyd thread makes him my nomination for poster of the year.

Best New Poster (Registered in 2008): Comus, his review corner thread was the first thread I read when I came here and just the kind of stuff I was hoping to find.

Davey Moore and his various review threads, for example on Beatles/Zombies/Godspeed/Nick Drake albums should make him a top contender for this category. For me - I already have and know almost all of the albums he mentions, so it's a bit old news. If it wasn't for that, he would definetly be the best new poster - and I find it weird that he has so little mention in this thread. The reason, I guess, is that he doesn't post so much outside the review forums.

Most Underrated Poster of the Year: Demonoid, his space rock thread only reached two pages, but I got a hold of some new stuff because of it and it was all good. Thanks man!

Best Avatar of the Year: Mine. Guybrush beats all.

Best Contributor of the Year: Davey Moore

Worst Contributor of the Year: Hello, how are you? -- Just a troll who hasn't been banned yet (I think), but get more of those and I they quickly change communities like this for the worse.

Favorite Moderator of the Year: Jackhammer

Biggest Fanboy (list artist next to name): dac, I'm a casual enjoyer of Radiohead but the fanboyism on these forums is giving me negative associations these days. ;)


I came to Music Banter because I wanted to read about music and find more tips as to what I should get. I'm a bit of a collector always looking for new stuff, so I tend to appreciate the members who write album reviews. The way I see it, they and their threads are the real treasures of MusicBanter and while a funny thread on Obama may lose it's appeal after a little while, many of these threads are relatively timeless in their value when compared.

I think someone (a mod f.ex) should really make it easier to find album reviews .. Like making and maintaining an index-thread for reviews.

A lot of quality reviews or recommendations get quickly lost on MB and index's would be a good idea but none of the mods get paid on here so dedicating that amount of time to that amount of work is not really feasible. That being said, if I still find myself without employment in the new year, I may well get working on something similar.

Yeah, I figure for one person - it would take many hours of work putting something like that together. However, if anyone gets started on a proto-thread, I will gladly help you collect links to threads containing reviews. Maybe we can get there with a little teamwork.

OK we will attack this in the new year then.

Man I'm running away with this fanboy race... :laughing:

I'm pretty new this year. I've been here for about a month (but so far I really enjoy it) so I'm only going to vote for what I can.

Poster of the Year: Jackhammer. He posts everywhere, he's pretty funny and a genuinely nice guy. He also has made some great threads (like the review of Pink Floyd's discography).

Best New Poster (Registered in 2008): FaSho. He has posted alot and seems to have already established a pretty good rep around here.

Funniest Poster of the Year: sleepy jack. I think I've actually "laughed out loud" at the majority of his posts. (I guess I wasn't here for his little hiatus that I've heard so much about).

Best Avatar of the Year: FaSho. I know people hated it but I actually enjoyed that disgusting little kid. I sometimes pictured that little kid reading what FaSho's post said to me, I don't know.

Smartest Poster of the Year: TheBig3KilledMyRainDog. His posts in his Member's Journal were very well written and great reads. He has some great knowledge and insight to music.

Biggest Fanboy: dac. I love Radiohead so he doesn't bother me at all, but he's clearly a big fan.
