This thread will be closed for one hour for repairs as Mighty Salami's inanity has broken it.

Paedantic Basterd · 12-25-2011, 07:16 PM

I just deleted 184 posts that were chatter not pertaining to nominations.

That's 18 pages of pointless crap I now don't have to sort through to run this ceremony for you.

Please use the future voting and reveal threads for all of your thank yous, complaints, and general tomfoolery.

**Scarlett O'Hara** · 12-25-2011, 09:33 PM

And my message to all the sob stories out there:

If you seriously give a fuck about these awards that much then maybe you shouldn't be using the internet. If I hear one more complaint I'll infract your ass.

Sexiest Member (Male):

DoctorSoft - Mandark is a sexy beast.

Sexiest Member (Female):

Aurora: this (the second picture)

Most Inane:
Most Enigmatic:

Hip Hop Bunny Hop - I know absolutely nothing about him, and I would love it if he would share a bit more with us in who he is.

Angriest Member:
Biggest Drama Whore:
Nicest Member:

Lisnaholic - He looks sort of like Jesus, and he's nicer than him, too.
Necromancer - Don't let his name fool you, he's one of the most benevolent people on this site.

Best Debater:

Ska Lagos Jew Sun Ra - Read any of his posts. Pretty much his only failure in a debate was in the 'Does smoking Marijuana make music better?' thread.
Hip Hop Bunny Hop - While I may disagree with 90% of what he says, he can certainly back up his points.
Tore - Smart as hell and goes very in depth with his arguments

Worst Debater:

Blastingas10 - Makes bogus claims and endlessly supports those on his side (in an obnoxious manner) while trolling the opposition

Best Writer:

Big3 - Just read his journal entries and see for yourself.

Biggest Virtuoso:

Loose_Lips_Sink_Ships - He apparently makes a lot of his own music and is a talented guitar player. Yet... he doesn't bombard any of the members of MB with it. This shows restraint and modesty.

Smartest Poster:

Anteater - Almost every conversation I have ever been in with him shows he knows a lot about music. He knows so much about so many genres that it's as impressive as it is intimidating.
Paloma - Incredibly knowledgeable and passionate about Psychology, and I have seen her put this knowledge to use in helping other members of MB.
Jackhammer - Pretty much the same description as Anteater's (except I haven't spoken to Jackhammer as much as him).

Funniest Member:

Pedestrian - I love her dry sense of humor
Janszoon - Makes a lot of smart, funny remarks

Best Mediator:
Biggest Troll:
Biggest Contributor:

Pedestrian - Come on... if she doesn't get this then who does?

Most Improved Member:
Most Underrated Poster:

Zer0 - Knows so much about indie/alternative music and tends to go unnoticed by most of the members on this site

Most Mainstream Music Taste:

Dj Chameleon - Listens to a lot of mainstream pop/rock and hip hop

Most Obscure Music Taste:

bob. - Do I really need to explain why?

Best Music Taste:

Stu - He and I share somewhat similar tastes in music. He knows and loves a lot of musicians that I know and love.
Ska Lagos Jew Sun Ra - Even though we tend to argue a lot about music, I still respect his taste in music the most out of everyone else's on this site.
Janszoon - Pretty much everything this guy recommends is gold.

Biggest Music Nerd:

Il Duce - He loves all types of music and isn't as discriminatory in his taste as others on this site. He enjoys pretty much anything from Justin Bieber to The Gerogeriegegege

Best Thread Starter:

Jackhammer - Has made many long-lasting threads. You have to give him credit for that...

Most Missed Poster:

Dankrsta - Without her, the Avant-garde/Experimental forum has gone relatively inactive. She and her extensive knowledge of the avant-garde will be missed.

Thread of the Year:

Should rock be considered prog just because it's technical? - It has triggered a lot of intelligent and thought-provoking discussions. It would be wonderful if all threads did this.

Journal of the Year:

The Playlist of Life --- Trollheart's resurrected Journal (Trollheart): Nobody has spent as much time on their journal as Trollheart has.

Moderator of the Year:

Pedestrian - Works incredibly hard to improve the site, not only by running several threads that require maintence (this thread, the General album club, the music week things, etc), but she is also very helpful to the newer members and is a spam murderer

Best New Member 2011:

Electrophonic Tonic - Fantastic taste in music. Very knowledgeable. Very laid-back. All newcomers should take after him.

Member of the Year 2011:

Pedestrian

Will probably add more in the future. (Sorry about having the same people take several of the categories...)
