Best of GR: 2011 Nominations Closed

[Longo_2_guns]

It's that time of year again. The snow falls on the ground, and the old, fat bearded man comes down your chimney.

But enough about Stal's cat-burglary, the best part of the December months? It's time for a crappy forum popularity contest!

As per usual, the rules are simple. Two nominations to lock, you can't nominate yourself, and you don't have to nominate for every category. Posters who are locked will be marked with bolded names, and those with one nomination will listed regularly. I'll update about once a day with all the new nominations. Post all nominations in this thread, so everyone can see them. A few other things: if you make any changes, PLEASE LET ME KNOW EXACTLY WHAT YOU CHANGE! I don't look over these things more than once, so I won't see it. Also, just copy and paste the list directly from the original post. If you aren't going to do a category, just leave it blank. This makes it really easy for me to tally it up.

Also, feel free to throw out any categories you think should be added. If they're good, I'll throw them in and I'll add them up.

[Bretimus_v2]

YAY! I love this, but mostly for Longo's write ups.

 

[MattAY]

Chaning the whole "GRumble" name?!...Not sure if I like it!...But it makes much more sense to do it at the end of the year, so you get a cookie.

Most Annoying Poster
pass
I can't believe I'm saying this but I can't think of anyone on GR who really annoyed me this year. Maybe I'm just not around enough

Most Missed Poster
Stal
His ego may have been massive, but he was still a staple at GR.

Funniest Poster
Chris Crime
I think I give this one to BlackStar every year, time to show Chris some love.

Most Helpful Poster
Bret
He helps me laugh.

Least Helpful Poster
Madster
Sorry maddy.

When I read his posts I feel like I'm listening to one of my college professors. And that's not always a bad thing (this one female teacher was soooo hot).

Most Annoying Poster: I like to dedicate this award to all those kind people who reminded us of all those live sport streams going on.

Most Helpful Poster: MattAY. He'll be there for you, when your balls get the shade of blue.

Biggest Forum Contributor: Even as a staff member Daniel has the time and will to join our nonsense and find ways to improve it. All this while being like one of us. danielbischoff

Most Intelligent Posts: NickKmet. What a classy man. Whatever he seems to say has a hint of cigar and fine whiskey in it to me.

Best Host: LinksOcarina. Fighte Character battles are a tradtion to GR and he always pulls it off with finesse.

Most Likely to be a Serial Killer: tinymhg. I haven't seen him around in a while. Maybe the police finally caught him?

Best Signature : Longo always manages to create the most eye pleasing signatures.

Best Avatar : De-Ting. Seeing Squidwards displeased frown upon entering the forums, brings me a safe and welcome feeling. You must never change it.

Best Poster : Bretimus. Funny, nice and active poster who can light up any night at GR

Phew, nominating is hard work.

 

[Bretimus_v2]

Matt, GRumble is the random match up showdown. This is the nominate and vote for category winners event.

 

[MattAY]

You know what, on my drive home I realised this mistake. Woopsie.

Everything up to now has been recorded. Remember that once it's been nominated twice, there isn't a point in nominating it again.

Postwhore: Intotherain

what is this, i don't even....

i think i probably have the lowest post count to join date ratio on the boards.

mind=blown

edit: will post what list i can come up with here tomorrow

 

[danielrbischoff]

Most Improved: danielrbischoff. (Though to be fair, I think he just doesn't give a damn anymore.)

Wait can you elaborate? Have my posts started going downhi again or have they improved BECAUSE I dont give a damn?

 

[cyberjim2000]

The way I see "Most Improved" is how you're fitting in with the community. So yeah, your posts seemed more relaxed now than they were when you first started posting here maybe because you're part of the gang now or whatever. .

 

[daverabbit]

What's that award they give the special needs kid for participating in an event that's way over their head? Create that category then nominate Delorean88 for it.
