How about "Self exiled poster you would most like to have return"

Nominees:

Gaines Hillix
David Pavlich
Noelle
I was thinking the samething. Gaines and David don't show often, but have excellent knowledge and always have patience to answer the same questions hundreds of times.

YouTube videos, perhaps.

THat would be a cool idea, to the Op maybe you could make that happen. Players post videos of themselves playing, award would go to the best player out there. I bet we have a 5.5 or 6.0 out there somewhere. I understand if you can't.

Sound like a youth soccer team, where everyone gets an award! According to TW they have 14,962 - you got to keep working on your list.

Can someone be nominated for multiple categories?
Not only does Marius deserve to be in the GOAT, but also in the most helpful category.. have you ever been in the tips/instruction subforum? Sure, he posts a lot of links, and references to his collection of useful threads, but he knows his stuff!

Most helpful/informative: Gamma Tech, we should thank him for frequenting our boards and giving us some insight on the design/engineering aspects of the machines we enjoy!

As for logical and civil, i think they can be considered separate from each other. Sometimes logic is a little against the grain, as I find more and more that although Phil & Deuce (although they might not like being mentioned in the same sentence) have logical posts that I more or less agree with, but they can be a bit abrasive ;) I think we gotta mention our dark horse posters.

I second Dedans as our funniest poster, he's over the top, and like KK said, you've gotta read his posts a few times before you move on throughout your day, you'll pick up some gems that way ;) I'm sure there are many, many posters who should be mentioned in the funniest category that i'm missing. My apologies :)

Most wanted to return: Big guns in the gear category: Michael Ludwig, Thomas Martinez, Gaines Hillix, Grant Morgan et al. I know they do visit every once in a while, but they need to be around more often. When I had just started visiting the board, these guys were around (OK, maybe not Grant) posting very, very interesting insights on pro gear and the "behind-the-scenes" tips, tricks, thoughts etc.

What an honor! I am most humbly grateful for the nomination! Being considered with the likes of Croation Sensation, Malakas, our matriarch Exruda, and our good friend Frodo is reward enough. I've won already, simply by being nominated. Thanks....kiss kiss kiss

DD--I'd like to see Gaines, Michael, Grant and Thomas posting more too. Larry Hall and David Pavlich too. But, I can understand why some of them don't. Every opinion Michael had, people would say "back it up" or "prove it", etc. Some pretty knowledgeable people have been disuaded from giving their advice.

Aye, I find posts from them treat-like. It's a rare occasion we mortals get a chance to hear the inside-info.

Now that I had a chance to think about it, i've left your name off the most-informative (non pro) category. Let's get Steve up there :)

Thank you Oscar, Diegaa and Dedan's for the nomination :) (now I might not even get mad at you if you say something bad about Coria :mrgreen: )

I agree with the nomination for best avatar Mislav (@ diegaa: he abandoned us for another forum, more civilised, like he said :-( I'm trying to talk him into returning)

As of other nominations, I still have to think about it (blonde, takes some time)... as much cr*p there is on this board, there are also many nice and intelligent people (not necessarily both combined in one person LOL) which actually keep me hanging around this board, and I wouldn't want to leave out anyone.

So, I'll have more to say here soon.

No, the right sentence is not "we rule"... is more like "we drool"
Common mistake, specially when those sentences sounds so much alike ;)

Actually the "Guys thread" has way more hits, than the "Ladies thread". I will say that "pound for pound" , the Ladies thread does dominate. Guys are just too lazy.

There were certainly many many funny ones though.

ruin this in what way?

is MVP most valuable poster not a legitimate award?

I was referring to this post of yours:
psamp14 said:
how about awards for newcomer of the year and lamest poster of the year like nadalgirl26 who makes up useless pathetic threads of nadal winning 26 grand slams or something
This is not constructive. The awards should be a positive experience.

Also since I'm here I'll go ahead and nominate FiveO for the informative referring to the pros. He's always there to give facts I wouldn't know otherwise.
