The Musicbanter 2009 Awards - Nominations Round

Guybrush · 11-29-2009, 05:12 AM

Hey guys!

Soon the year will be over and it's time for the annual musicbanter awards. This year, we're going to ask you guys for nominations to the different categories and then somewhere around the middle of the month (I think), we'll start the voting. Just nominate members for one or more of the categories. The only two rules you have to remember are :

Don't nominate yourself
Only one nomination per category

PS! Try to be honest in your post and don't let others nominations influence who you mention. If someone gets nominated more than once, it might be a helpful indication that they belong in the list if we have to do a little cleaning up later on.

Most Underrated Poster - The site's biggest underdog - someone who's positive impact on the forums is generally underappreciated or often goes unnoticed
Smartest poster - The forums smartest member
Most Missed Poster - The one you miss the most of members who went away.
Best Journal - The best journal
Biggest Drama Whore - The member who most often surrounds him or herself with drama
Sexiest Member - The member with the most sex-appeal
Best argumentalist - The member who's best at discussing and communicating intelligently
Worst argumentalist - The member who's presence in a discussion is usually the most disruptive
Best Writer - The member who writes the best reviews, rants, whatevers!
Biggest music nerd - The member who's most knowledgeable about music
Biggest wacko - The craziest member on the site
Most boring member - The member whose posts makes you yawn the most
Funniest member - The guy or gal who most often makes you laugh!
Angriest member - The bitterest member, a cynic who often responds with hostility and bitterness towards new and old members
Nicest member - The kindest member, always treats people with respect and makes an effort to be nice
Biggest Troll - The member who's presence anywhere in the forums is most disruptive
Biggest contributor - The member who's posts and threads have contributed the most to the overall quality of the site
Most Improved Member - The member who's somehow improved the most in his or her behaviour on the site
Most virtuosic - The member with the highest level of skill with an instrumental ability
Best avatar - The member who ever had 2009's coolest avatar
Moderator of the Year - The moderator who's work and efforts are the most appreciated
Best new 2009 member - Your favourite member from those who joined the site in 2009!
Member of the Year - The member we love the most

I wanted there to be 20 categories but I could only come up with 19. Those who want can try and come up with a category and then I'll add the one I think is best to the list.

This is a bit improvised, but I think it'll work. Now get postin'!

Oh and by the way, the grandest cup of them all goes of course to the member of the year. This is not it but it will be similar!

There may be other kinds of rewards too. Okay, will be.

So we post them here? I have my list made up, I'm just a little unsure because no one else has responded. :P

Awesome! This thing is finally rolling. Your nomination has been noted, good sir.

Maybe Best New Signup for the 20th category? Seems like it could fit.

Has this been done in the past?

Oy, it has indeed been done and that's a very good suggestion. Well done!

I'll add that one to the list straight away. I think we're fine with 20, but you guys can keep suggesting if you want. If a suggestion is awesome enough, it might make the list.
