Congratulations to you all! (y)


Thanks to all and especially @Doctor/Lawyer Red Devil for organising this.

I forgot to vote, but @James P deserves it way more than me, thr the guy isn't just the best Medvedev fan, he is the best tennis fan on the forum and unlike others who only watch the big tourneys, he watches almost everything. True love for the game tbh.

Yet more proof this forum is chock-full of philistines, cuz if there's one category I really should win by a landslide it's this:

Best Artistic Talent: Can any of you jokers bloviate on cinema, music (of all kinds), literature, (visual) art(s), anime and even video games with such authority? Yeah, didn't think so.

And @Doctor/Lawyer Red Devil didn't even include the totally legit nom! Not cool, man!!!

But this recap was just about perfect, though congrats ain't exactly what was called for:

Most creative thread title on TTW

A few nominees: Is Wimbledon a tennis championship or a glorified lawn care contest? by @Novichok , Admit it by @MichaelNadal , I Stand By Roger: Flight of the Golden Eagle of Victory by @JoelDali , Guess: Tsitsipas or Copypasta by @Bender , Andy Roddick the clay court beast by @Third Serve...

But all of them fell short to:

"Kicked my son out at age of 18 - And it was the best thing to ever happen to him" by @TTMR

I don't want to know more about it. Congratulations on the win, moving on...

Anyhoo thx 4 all the noms, guys and dolls! I look forward to enlightening y'all for another year!

A couple replies:

I guess the people have spoken. Time for some new material.

Those (fast) food and rasslin pix won him the forum's lifetime Oscar, so I'm not sure a new course of action is advisory.

Thanks to all and especially @Doctor/Lawyer Red Devil for organising this.

I threw U a bone cuz you were moaning about being overlooked following a month's absence. Too late to play aw-shucks now!

cuz if there's one category I really should win by a landslide it's this:
Interesting take - the reason i pencilled you in for charismatic poster is precisely that i find it quite remarkable that you display the authority on these various topics quite admirably and wonder how you got there. I guess artistic talent here refers to unique presentation of posts, topics etc. I may be wrong though!
 

Kralingen

Talk Tennis Guru
Best newcomer to TTW

Congratulations
to @Kralingen for the biggest landslide victory in poster awards for this year.

And a belated welcome message to other nominees as well - @The Big Foe fan , @Nuclear , @MaxTennis and @NAS .
Earth's Mightiest Poster (highest post count in the year)

@Kralingen wins in his first year on TTW, beating @stringertom , @MichaelNadal and @RedRick .
I’m truly thankful for the noms, and the entire premise of the award show @Doctor/Lawyer Red Devil - really positive and fun idea. You’d be surprised how little genuine recognition and appreciation people get in real life these days, so any award, even on a tennis forum, is a good award and might even make someone’s day (y) Been reflecting a bit on 2021 especially around the holidays, and it’s clear people have grown more isolated than ever before.. on the other hand, TTW feels like one place where there is a real tight-knit community, not just random users shouting into the void, and I think that’s special: it’s what keeps myself and many others coming back to the site above all else. By the way, definitely don’t think I was clearly the best of new posters - @NAS knows more about tennis than me, @Novichok is funnier and a way better sh-tposter, @Nuclear ‘s memeing is unmatched, and a few others deserve credit as well. No weak era here.

If nothing else I learned a lot from the surprisingly knowledgeable user base on here and had some genuinely great times in match threads. It’s been a tough year for me personally, I had major surgery in June leaving me bedridden for a couple months, recovered just in time for COVID to rear its ugly head again, and have a lot of you to thank for making the time more entertaining and fruitful.

New Year’s resolution for 2022 will be to slow down a bit on the posting, lest I start posting food pics and the phrase “GOATy AF” and obsessing over the Suresh drop volley :p No shame though, enjoyed this year with all of you and hope 2022 will be even better. Cheers to all

How do you know post counts? lol
Once in a while I will record the number of messages of TOP 20 biggest posters, which is available here: https://tt.tennis-warehouse.com/index.php?members/&key=most_messages

The last entry I recorded was on December 19, 2020, when you had 68k published messages and @stringertom 92k posts. You now have 81k posts and @stringertom 105k messages. @Kralingen undoubtedly didn't publish more posts than you two when he started writing this year and now has 6k posts in his account.

Reading through every post...
Looking into all the results...
As another tough year passes us by...
And we all continue to face the same problem...
What I think the most important thing to take away from all this is...

Congratulations to you all!
Thanks to the person(s) who may have nominated me for humbleness, but there must be some kind of mistake.
My citizenship makes me naturally immune to develop any form of it.

Time to give posters credit!

Best thread on TTW

This year it's the second part of TTW Dictionary Corner by @Bender that wins this award.


Honorable mention to @Nole Slam marathon thread "Why Andy Murray failed to become an ATG" that finished just behind in the voting.

Congratulations! (y)
Woohoo, very happy that the TTW ****post bible TTW Dictionary Corner was success, and it's thanks to everyone who contributed of course
@Nole Slam and I don't need gold. We have Spencer.
Fitting that a mention of Spencer would be in the same sentence as not winning gold
@Bender once said that this is the only award that matters.
It is, so I'm furious I've only managed to match Nadal's accomplishments in Miami

WHAT IS THIS?

How did I manage to win this medal when I wasn't even here over a year? Who's the culprit that voted me?
