2011 SpursTalk Political Forum Awards Nominations

[scott]

Let's take a break from the bickering to honor one another, shall we?

Many battles have been waged on these hallowed forum grounds, each of them solving absolutely nothing and changing the hearts and minds of no one. It is through the work of the posters that nothing is ever accomplished, and we should reward and recognized that lack of accomplishment.

So let's nominate posters for awards in the following categories, with voting to take place on a separate occasion. The top 5 nominees in each category will make it to final round.

Also, feel free to suggest any additional categories.

1. Best Poster of a Conservative Leaning.

2. Best Poster of a Liberal Leaning.

3. Best Poster of an Independent Leaning.

4. Worst/Most Embarrassing Conservative Poster.

5. Worst/Most Embarrassing Liberal Poster.

6. Worst/Most Embarrassing Independent Poster.

7. Most Entertaining Troll.

8. Most Annoying Troll.

9. Most knowledgeable poster.

10. Least knowledgeable poster.

11. Most open-minded poster.

12. Most closed-minded poster.

13. Fail of the year.

14. Thread of the Year.

15. Poster of the Year.

Edit: Two New Categories:

16. Most Insightful thread starter.

17. Most thought/discussion provoking thread starter.

[scott]

Furthermore, I preemptively nominate this thread as Fail of the Year.

[DarrinS]

Good to see I have so many nut huggers. If I'm not pissing you off, I'm doing it wrong.

I can understand Algoco getting nods for most knowledgeable, but why Winehole?

[ElNono]

^ Why not vote instead of bitch?

[DarrinS]

I thing RG is a smart dude, I just don't agree with him.

FuzzyLumpShit thinks he's smart.

[The Reckoning]

this thread is an attempt to justify all the pointless hours you guys spend in here

[spursncowboys]

Without any explanation of the judging, it seems a little like a popularity contest. Might I suggest that you have subcategories for poster and thread starter. Thread starter either being someone with the most insightful OP or one that creates an actual discussion.

[LnGrrrR]

This whole voting thing will be a travershamockery if DarrinS's washing machine detergent thread doesn't take first place in the Fail Thread category. :)

[scott]

Good points.

Would you suggest a "best/worst threadstarter" in every category, or just a couple like "Most insightful thread starter" and "Most provocative/discussion inspiring thread starter"?

[spursncowboys]

I just got back from being gone for a year though. I would just go by what I knew before I was gone. Sorry.

[DarrinS]

This whole voting thing will be a travershamockery if DarrinS's washing machine detergent thread doesn't take first place in the Fail Thread category. :)

[Nbadan]

Personally I nominate Nbadan for a lifetime achievement award.

Thanks Joe.....I nominate you for best poster with one toe..

[DarrinS]

I nominate nbadan for least influential poster in ST history (any forum).

[Nbadan]

I nominate The old Spurs Dominion (http://spursdominion.yuku.com/forum/view/id/1?page=5#.TtWuftVoP9k) and Cleve Steamer and Savory Johnson for honorary award for starting a Spurs forum which could have been bigger than Spurs Talk if the servers had not crashed in 2005, but whose concept led to the success of the political forum which was only supposed to be a temporary forum....half a million posts later..

[ChumpDumper]

Remember when Nbadan actually posted about the NBA?

Tell them why you stopped, dan.

lol server crash

[Nbadan]

Look in the Spurs forum....can you find me?

[ChumpDumper]

Look in the Spurs forum....can you find me?No. Because you aren't there.

Mandatory LEDs. (Unless Angel_Luv's anti-Christ thread is somehow magically still in the running.)

15. Poster of the Year.
ChumpDumper. (Partly because he cracks me so consistently up, and partly to further confuse those who think I and he are the same person.)

15. Poster of the Year.
ChumpDumper. (Partly because he cracks me so consistently up, and partly to further confuse those who think I and he are the same person.)Shut up, me!

[George Gervin's Afro]

Most Homophobic/gay sex/animal sex poster of the year?

JACK SOMMERSET


I dare anyone to disagree!

[MannyIsGod]

That dude has been absent for awhile. Its been pleasant.

[MannyIsGod]

I have a hard time choosing from the experts in their fields as most knowledgeable poster. FWDT, Scott, Agloco, and LNG all come to mind. If I had to pick one I'd go with Agloco.

Random Guy gets my vote for most open mind and he gets it by a long shot. I've never seen anyone else approach his level of patience for reading shit posted by Wild Cobra. The man was likely a saint in a past life.

My favorite poster this year has actually been LNG though. He's got the right combination of Open Mindedness, Knowledge, and Entertainment Value making him a triple threat.

Thread of the Year for me is the climate thread although the one where Fuzzy busted out the partschanger moniker that has stuck so well is a close second. In the climate one, Darrin and WC provide a lot of laughs for me and in Fuzzy's WC provided the laughs. That being said, I think out of the two only Darrin is a real poster so that pushes it over the top.

[MannyIsGod]

Dupe

[scott]

I'm about to go on vacation, so we'll leave the nomination period up until I return next week.

Wild Cobra, I'll be in Portland if you want to meet up and grab a beer. Let me know I'll post some aerial photos of where you can find me.

[RandomGuy]

7. Most Entertaining Troll.

Stringer Bell

Hands down.

The beauty of who ever is behind this, is that the rants/bait is so carefully written that the targets, myself included, don't realize it is sarcasm/satire.

Bloody brilliant, IMO.

[RandomGuy]

Thank-you for your votes.

Chump

Dan

Everyone else is about par for the course in my book.

[RandomGuy]

6. Worst/Most Embarrassing Independent Poster.

Not sure......


Parker2112, hands down.

I will bump the chemtrails thread. Read it. It is funny. and sad. Between that and the "floride is a government conspiracy", it pretty much sank Parker's credibility.

These type of topics have lost all cache and credibility especially when done wrong.

Back in 96 at the Jim Rome smack chat forum and later at the TRolls.net the topic starter had the list completed.

He took the time to give his opinions of who was the best posters etc...

It wasn't a vote for your favorite poster contest it was a legitimate list of who post funny shit, intelligent shit, gay shit, etc...

Other posters would chime in on who they might want as the "Most interesting poster" or "most annoying" poster. They didn't go around "Glossing " each other and trying to make friends.

But this i don't need to tell the old skool posters of the www this info is for the RedZero's of the world and his Romper room friends who treat the politics forum like a Jr high cafeteria.

With that said my list is as follows..........

at #10 Agloco

Although he is a self absorbed douche with posters who don't agree with him or didn't score a 90 on they're SAT test. he does add an extra element to the forum that can't be found by lets say...GRrrrr or johnsmith

I must say he post like Mr. Wizard in here but what I find odd he seems to posts like a game stop employee in the Club.

Its almost like he shares his laptop with a roommate. I must say allowing him to be on the "top 10" list was not easy, there are so many others who deserve it.

[Phenomanul]

I have a hard time choosing from the experts in their fields as most knowledgeable poster. FWDT, Scott, Agloco, and LNG all come to mind. If I had to pick one I'd go with Agloco.

Random Guy gets my vote for most open mind and he gets it by a long shot. I've never seen anyone else approach his level of patience for reading shit posted by Wild Cobra. The man was likely a saint in a past life.

My favorite poster this year has actually been LNG though. He's got the right combination of Open Mindedness, Knowledge, and Entertainment Value making him a triple threat.



I would be inclined to agree with most of what you've written... but then as I survey the general consensus of the thread, it's hard to deny that the tone is unabashedly liberal. By virtue of the political leanings / philosophical demographics in this forum, "open-mindedness" hence is strictly being gauged from that perspective alone... and by definition flawed (not trying to single you out MannyIsGod, just that your post provided enough of a starting point to note this observation).

IMO the most "open minded" posters in this forum were/are Extra Stout and FromWayDowntown. Everyone else, myself included, is way too emotionally invested in their own opinions to be able to fully speak on the subjects in this forum objectively. So, short of making another list, :lol this bias attribute weighs heavily on everyone here other than the two posters I mentioned... everyone else, we downright 'suck' at being able to maintain objectiveness...

It's hard to keep up false persona in a political forum because you constantly have to fight revealing yourself by your 'personal beliefs and political leanings'.....Marcus Bryant is one of the best at this in the short term but in the long term his true persona always manages to overpower the false persona who he is trying to portray.....

[mouse]

I did one.

That was enough.



You organized it or you attended one? And why was that enough?

[ChumpDumper]

You organized it or you attended one?Organized and attended.
And why was that enough?Felt like that was enough tbh.

Well gtgs are like getting a tattoo they may seem painful at first but as time goes on....

Elitist, if you will.

#1 Nbadan and ChumpDumper

Nbadan is the glue of the forum back in the day when no one was posting he still keep things moving.
He is maybe the most dedicated poster of the politics forum and has no problem debating an issue. And can pull out links and videos Google had no idea were around.

The man is a combination of many posters already mentioned and deserves to share the #1 spot on the list.

ChumpDumper

Is the only poster I literately wanted to give up when debating. Most of the time its due to a poster acting like a child and ruining the debate but Chump takes getting under your skin to levels not seen before.

No matter who is winning the debate he is sure to get the last word in. His stubbornest is second to none. It wouldn't matter If Bush and the crew who planted the explosives at WTC buildings confessed on Larry King he would convince you its a coverup of some sort. The only other poster who can come close to his determination to stick to his cause is Cosmored and he is well known around the www and many talk shows.

You may not like ChumDumper but if you post in here you will recolonize his presents.

[ChumpDumper]

You may not like ChumDumper but if you post in here you will recolonize his presents.Uh...thanks?

[ChumpDumper]

I'm not who you think I am Chumpy.I don't think you are anyone.

[ChumpDumper]

KOK, I think you are that guy who didn't go to my GTG but said he did for some weird reason.

#5 for me is a tie between fromwaydowntown and baselinebum...both of them bring extraordinary expertise to the forum and both manage to rise above most of the petty bickering ...FWDT is a true independent while baseline, more progressive, has grown very bitter toward Obama lately...both need to post here more

[Nbadan]

#4 is Marcus Bryant and Winehole.....their takes are so ideologically intertwined I no longer know which was the original...and if they are not the same person then they post very much alike so they deserve to be tied anyway...both have solid facts, difficult to refudiate and at times, really depressing....they are the meat and potatoes of the forum..

when do you see them post?

[Nbadan]

#3 are Wild Cobra and DarrinS...they each bring such a unique view into the wing-nut mind...its one of those slow digressions that you have too see to believe....Still Cobra can hold his own in global warming threads even though you know that he's ultimately wrong....DarrinS is a trainwreck but lucky for him people like trainwrecks...his takes are weak, his logic not very well thought out, and his sources always dubious...he is the champion of wrong, a true wing-nut....

[Nbadan]

when do you see them post?

baseline posted here more here this year than fromwaydowntown...but as we look at the bigger picture, or the 6-7 years the forum has existed, both have represented more than sperminator, mr peabody, extra stout, angloco, and some of the better posters fron the past who are no longer around like maryannlovesginger and Whott..

[Nbadan]

#2 are Kori Ellis and/or timVP...so many funny aliases, so little time...probably more Tim than Kori but whatever...they deserve this just for hosting this forum...

[Winehole23]

#4 is Marcus Bryant and Winehole.....difficult to refudiate and at times, really depressing....:tu

[Winehole23]

lol refudiate

[Winehole23]

That's way too high. When is the last time timvp posted here? was it even this year?

has no problem with boosterism, Dan, but it is what it is

[Winehole23]

Kori drops in sometimes, timvp hardly ever

[Winehole23]

I can understand bein grateful to them, wanting to thank them, tip the hat, drink a toast -- all things best done in meatspace -- but why not give them a separate award, rather than shoehorning them in with all the political forum jackasses they may not particularly like or agree with?

[Winehole23]

or would care to be associated with

I haven't been paying attention to this thread... have I won yet? :lol

[Nbadan]

Yeah, I don't think so....

Not even in the top 10 but keep posting..

..and the elder-statesmen of the Spurstalk political forum

Elder statesman #1 - RG - the only guy with more page views and more original topics go to the top than myself...over the years, one thing I've enjoy about RG's post is that he always takes a side, right-or-wrong, and sticks with it, sometimes frustratingly too long, but that probably just his nature. Random guy as earned his status through the test of time as someone that if your gonna take on, you better bring your facts straight, or its not gonna be a long debate....makes some poster crumble to their posting knees and very seldom gets proven wrong...although it does happen and when it does....out comes the group-think and conspiracy card...so predictable but yet so genuine...here's to you RG...you are now an elder-statesman of the Spurstalk political forum.....one who must be reckoned with, one who must be respected, one who can not just be ignored...

[spursncowboys]

Boo.

That's way too high. When is the last time timvp posted here? was it even this year?
I agree completely. SNC approves this.

[spursncowboys]

It is a shame in the midst of all this popularity non-sense, no one has mentioned Galileo.

[Winehole23]

I agree completely. SNC approves this.I appreciate your support.

:flag:

[Winehole23]

I haven't been paying attention to this thread... have I won yet? :lolyes, many times...

[Winehole23]

It is a shame in the midst of all this popularity bullshit, no one has mentioned Galileo.Galileo has been mentioning himself a bit less than usual of late. It is kind of weird he made no one's list for good or bad yet, as you mentioned.

[Winehole23]

You ok, G?

[Winehole23]

..and the elder-statesmen of the Spurstalk political forum

Elder statesman #1 - RG - .....one who must be reckoned with, one who must be respected, one who can not just be ignored...Yep.

However:

My personal vote for statesmanly behavior goes to El Nono,

[Winehole23]

Track record versus disposition and cool execution, no contest either way ihmo.

[Winehole23]

Yeah, I don't think so....their posts are searchable. in this forum they have not been numerous at any time since my joining.

[Winehole23]

is there some post you particularly admired, Dan?

[Winehole23]

or is it a more of a personal thing?
