Best Poster Award

[Jarka 767]

The time has come, this is the big one, even bigger than the Brownlow (well, perhaps I'm getting carried away). You guys know the drill, please give your 3-2-1 for who you think were the best posters over the last season. I think I need to set some ground rules, you can't on-trade your votes (sorry deanox) and voting will finish on Sunday at 17:00 (extra day because I was late)

Good luck everyone!

I wasn't too sure if I should or not but we can run with two awards this week, and as Jaded suggested I'll create another thread. (Edited)

mate...thats like voting for the best mag... I mean umpy !!!

[Nasher 33,617]

Anyway, my top 3 posters:

3- Maurie Lithen. Not the most regular but you very rarely see a post that isn't quality.

2- Rhino Richards. Is often the lone voice of reason amongst an awful lot of noise.

1- Fan. Has been easily my favourite poster for as long as I can remember on both 'land and 'ology. I wish he posted more, if he did he'd be a shoo-in for my 3.

Jarka, if you want to do the best mod awards this week too, you should put it in a separate thread with a poll, since there are a lot of mods who go unnoticed. If you set it up in a poll, it means that everyone gets an equal chance to get a vote.

I think it'd be a bit wanky if one of the "inactive" mods won personally!

The point is, that not everyone knows the full list of moderators so they can't make a fully informed selection.

It was just a suggestion.

Good idea, I'll edit my previous post

3. Hannabal / Trav 20 Love his work, he's pretty much the reason I kept coming to this site.

2. Fan - I'm a fan of Fan. 100% sense.

1. Scoop Junior - Talks a fair bit of sense too.

Honorable mention to WJ. These guys all make coming here worthwhile, thanks fellas. *thumbs up*

This is why such an award is flawed, sorry Jarka.

And have had rip rawing arguments with them all. :D

[Straight Sets Simon 23,113]

Why?

Because more often than not people will just vote for who they agree with. Not who is the "best".

lets see if anyone agrees with you ...

Fan, Hannabal, Scoop of course ... got to fit Axis and Grazman in there. I rate Queen C too.

[Nasher 33,617]

I didn't vote for them because they're the posters I agree with. I voted for them because I believe they're the most persuasive. The people I would vote for in something like this are the people who can convince of an argument either way.

You might notice that I'm not a poster who gets right in to the nitty-gritty of an argument often. That's because 9 times in 10 when I open a thread, it's on a topic I haven't formed a solid opinion on yet.

My favourite threads are the ones where the likes of H and Fan come head to head. My very favourite threads are the ones where I change my opinion on the matter at hand after reading each individual post. These guys do that for me. Regularly. (btw I could easily have included H in my votes as he is by far and away the best debater on this forum and he sucks me right in, but at times I find his over-aggression distasteful)

Rhino gets my vote because he uses his brain when everyone else is hysterical, particularly in a bad season. I don't always agree with what he says, and have come to a head with him a few times, but I appreciate the fact that he doesn't go off half cocked.
