The Musicbanter 2009 Awards - Nominations Round

Guybrush · 12-23-2009, 09:58 AM

It's Boardtracker against Vegangelica in the votes

They were the only two names left after eliminating those who were only nominated once.

A thing about me and Boardtracker is everytime it made a post, I thought it was kind of funny.

edit :

Oh, and I was sure I was gonna be a contender for most boring too .. Nice to see I was wrong.

Hush.
Why would you be voted for most boring?

Possibly because despite my near limitless patience, I sometimes bore myself.

However, I've since realized everyone else thinks I'm a hoot.

Guybrush · 12-23-2009, 04:40 PM

Yep, some kind of bot which I guess is used for searches or something.

I know it does. I'm guessing they're generated unless they make too much sense for that. Then it might be some botmaster who uses the account to joke around.

I ran two talking bots on #musicbanter IRC channel .. It's not much of a trick really.

I don't think it's a bot in the traditional sense. I think the website Boardtracker.com probably has several moderators sign up for different forums and the website remotely accesses their accounts and uses the Advanced Search function on MB, which it then compiles with the other results.
