[Jaded No More 59,150]

I've stickied the thread so that it does not get lost with all the other topics.

Voting closes on Sat, Sep 15th at 5pm.

I must admit I find this backslapping communal ego boost a tad unnecessary.

Personally I pine for the 'glory days' of Demonland.

Where posters such as Deefan, Whispering Jack, Go Johno, Wheels, Spunjy, Demonland, Ash, Kidd Robb, Deebest and of course JC (amoungst others) would constantly deliver tremendous football discussion and analysis.

can't help but feel posting has gone the way of political campaigning. The sound bite has taken over from reasoned policy debate.

That's a fair comment, right right that in those days rewards like this would have been completely unnecessary however if you looked back a bit further before those 'glory days', as you described it, both demonland and 'ology were full of virtual open warfare - I'm referring to the dreaded aftermath of the merger days with the Joe vs the rest situation. A thread couldn't go without half a dozen posts before it turned personal and deteriorated into a slanging match.

I believe that places like demonland truly reflect the health of the club, and right anything to encourage good healthy debates should be encouraged. If not then there's no one forcing anyone to contribute or even open this particular thread.

'ology seems to be continuous sniping and abuse between posters - there is next to nothing of that here on 'land - just in-depth information and discussion about players and tactics .

Plus the 'ology Mods (well, essentially only one of them) has been locking threads due to duplication - power has gone to the head of the unskilled.

A lot of posters are saying they are peed off and 'retiring' - ology is currently off the air - is that an omen?

[rednblue2009 0]

the most enjoyable posters are - Ooze Magic, Rhino and Jaded.

ology is rubbish

Going straight on my CV...

Damn straight!

Actually, anyone who wins one of these awards can have their title changed (i.e.- 'red and blue' or 'master demon') to say 'winner- most entertaining poster 2007'.

If you're a winner and you'd like your title changed, you can PM me and I'll do it for you.

(No PMs from losers ).

I would like to thank everybody that voted for me

My time on Demonland has been one hell of a journey, with many ups and downs.

I would like to recall a story from my childhood that will perhaps let the wider Demonland community get to know Yze_magic a little more intimately.

Ray Brower's body was found. But neither our gang nor their gang got the credit. In the end we decided that an anonymous phone-call was the best thing to do. We headed home. And although many thoughts raced through our minds we barely spoke. We walked through the night and made it back to Castle Rock a little past five o'clock on Sunday morning, the day before Labor Day. We'd only been gone two days. But somehow the town seemed different. Smaller.

As time went on we saw less and less of Teddy and Vern until eventually they became just two more faces in the halls. That happens sometimes. Friends come in and out of your life like busboys in a restaurant. I heard that Vern got married out of High-school, had four kids and is now the forklift operator at the Arsenal Lumberyard. Teddy tried several times to get into the Army but his eyes and his ear kept him out. The last I heard, he'd spent some time in jail. He was now doing odd jobs around Castle Rock.

Chris did get out. He enrolled in the College-courses with me. And although it was hard he gutted it out like he always did. He went on to College and eventually became a lawyer. Last week he entered a fast food restaurant. Just ahead of him, two men got into an argument. One of them pulled a knife. Chris who would always make the best peace tried to break it up. He was stabbed in the throat. He died almost instantly.

Although I haven't seen him in more than ten years I know I'll miss him forever. I never had any friends later on like the ones I had when I was twelve. Jesus, does anybody?

And lastly I would like to thank my Gods - George Harrison, David Bowie and John Frusciante

Thankyou

Can we vote for an avator that no longer exists ie. Clint Bizkit's former one??

As proud of that avatar as I am, I think I prefer my picture current of Jesus playing football. Even if it is American football, he is seemingly using the infamous "run and carry" tactic.

This is of course significant because of my new display name.

Sorry DS, had a very busy day, the next one will be up in 5 mins.

Once again well done to YM, and to give the guys here on demonland who don't visit bigfooty an insight into what he is capable of my favourite YM moment was when he had half of the Bigfooty community believing that he was going to be drafted a couple of years ago. He set a standard that others like Zeke tried to imitate for years afterwards and they still talk about him over there from time to time....
