Swag.

Basically coolest member. Swag is a word that has basically become meaningless now though. And my "swag" to Phantom means I support it.

What's his definition?

swag: apperance, style, or the way he or she presents themselves.

So basically coolest member.

In partnership with recognizing the journals, Journal Entry of the Year.

Worst debater - The member who's presence in a discussion is usually the most disruptive - I think there's a case for erasertime306 winning this. He is to date the only user I've put on ignore.
Best avatar - The best member avatar of 2011. = Urb, of course
Moderator of the Year - The member of the mod team who has helped to moderate the site the most in 2011 and who's work and efforts are the most appreciated. - Sorry to be a bit of a creep, but Pedestrian is a fantastic mod. "Crosswalking" is also my very favourite music journal.
Best new 2011 member - The best new addition to the site in 2011. - Easily RMR. His reviews have been consistently excellent.

Right on. That's pretty much what I was going for, though, in my humble opinion I think the category should just be Swag and not Most Swag.

Surely everyone is slightly swag in their own way, though?

I'd vote steveeden888 as most enigmatic.

So enigmatic I can't understand even one of his posts. I wish I could but everything just goes right over my head. Also he makes funny spaces between all of his lines.

Also I would vote eraser.time206 for biggest troll in denial
Always causing a storm with his stories that don't seem to quite make sense and defends very loosely arguments. Not to say I'm some kind of saint but reading his stuff has been a little weird.

And Ill duce is my favorite new member.
Hes extremely active around here and I think he has some quality postings and is funny as hell.

Haha... I think that is pretty much true! eraser definitely ought to win some kind of award, since a lot of his postings have been offensive and occasionally misogynist...

I'd disagree with Steveen888 though. He has been quite obnoxious in some threads and was very rude to tore, although he subsequently apologised.

And yes, Il Duce is an absolute legend.

Don't you think you're jumping the gun here lads? Nominations haven't started yet ;)

No, I don't think we're jumping the gun. We are just thinking about who we'll nominate.

We are obviously so exited we can't wait for them to begin!

Member you would most like a drunken one night stand with...?

The same names will come up. My personal choice would be Aurora, who I think has taken an interest in me. That girl is really something, though.

Don't ruin all the fun of the Nominations round! ;)

You can all go wild in a week, or if this thread dies before the deadline.

I apologise, Pedestrian. I'm a little excitable at the moment! :)

Nominations are going to be a bit different this year as well, but I think it will make it a better thread overall.

Lol, guy's ben here little over a month, almost 500 postings.
I feel defeated already :D

I'll probably calm down a bit over the winter! It's going to be a cold one and it will teach me a lesson.

And Il Duce managed to clock up 5000 in 10 months....

The Shut The Fuck Up Award

For those members who spend thousands of posts insisting on telling us every single iota of their boring lives.

May I nominate myself in advance?

If you don't mind being a distant 4th

I nominate you for humblest new member.

I really think I moan too much here. I post far too many personal comlaints, and people like s_k are too kind to tell me to be quiet.

No need to calm down, mate!

He's a robot. And Asian.

You don't stand a chance, man :D

Haha....

Shame. I never win anything, and I was hoping to get something... :(

I'm eager to see what you have planned.
Last year I had just jumped in to take the reins after the original person in charge had other obligations, and the follow-up as well.
All I know is even just collecting and tallying the (constantly changing) nominations was headache enough.

Good luck!

You poor man. And I bet this thread will become choked pretty soon!

Not a bad idea, but let the awards speak to both sides...

The Shut the Fuck Up About Shutting the Fuck Up Award
Given to the biggest idiot who considers his mouth the word of law.

But if Urb's word is not the law, then whose is? It's his forum, right?

:laughing:

It's actually Vanilla's forum.

I swapped it with her for a quick flash behind the bike sheds.

I wish people didn't take me seriously.

I'm probably just an attention seeking troll.

I am the best new member. You will see this in time.

This contradicts itself.

Haha!

Somehow I don't doubt that sentiment whatsoever.

:beer:

I can promise you it doesn't... Well, maybe it does. And what brah?

I never thought he was good or bad I was just so legitmately confused by him I found it interesting who some one could say so much and me understand so little.

Doesn't look like we're going to get too much more out of this, so I'd like to propose closing the category discussion soon and moving on. In favour? Last minute suggestions?

Yes plz
