BoltBait Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 Welcome to the 2012 Paint.NET Forum Awards Show! Where you decided the best of 2012, the worst of 2012, and everything in between! <---- Hi, I'm your host, BoltBait. OK, let's dive right in to the first award for the evening... The Mimi Bobeck Award: This one's for the biggest forum troll of 2012 on the Paint.NET forum. As I'm sure you're aware, a forum troll is someone who posts a lot, and whose posts don't always have an overflow of useful content. Not to say that they never have relevant posts, but -- ah hell, it's 2012, you guys know what a forum troll on the Internet is by now. The nominees for this award include: ugh, too many to list And, the big winner with 30% of the vote is... OddLlama Congratulations (I think?) Now, one for the mods of this wonderful board. The Real Estate Award: This one's for the mod who tends to close posts the most – they are always there, just waiting for someone to break the rules or post something useless. Decide that you're gonna make a post wrong forum? BAM! This guy moves it before you even get a reply. Some n00b spamming the forums with Viagra ads? BAM! Bant! Not only does this guy close posts, but he wields the banhammer in a way which would make Thor proud. The nominees for this award include, surprisingly enough: all of the mods! The runner-up with 30% of the vote is... pyrochild And, the winner with 46% of the vote is... Ego Eram Reputo Keep up the great work! Now, back to an award you probably don't want to win. The "Wrong End of A Massive Pwnage" Award: You have seen it before… a member posts their unsupported opinion as fact and you just watch and wait for an intelligent member to come in and fry them. This award is, as the title suggests, for the member who has been on the wrong end of a massive pwnage, or has one coming their way sooner than later. The nominees for this award include: badpenny, pdnnoob, OddLlama, and AGJM The winner with 33% of the vote is... jim100361 Congrats! And, be on the lookout for that massive pwnage! Next up, an award that no one would be embarrassed to win. The Proton Award: This one is for the member who, overall, has the most positive input to the Paint.NET forum. Whether it's through modship, Paint.NET help, organizing UBB games, valuable input in the suggestions threads, etc; this member is always there to give something back to the community. The nominees for this award include: too many to list (which is a testament to how great our board is) The winner with 31% of the vote is... Ego Eram Raputo Now for an award where just about everyone came in second. The Big Bird Award: This one is for the friendliest soul on the boards. Thoughts toward the vernacular aside, the winner of The Big Bird Award is someone who's always warm, friendly and fuzzy to the other members. The nominees for this award include: just about everyone And, the winner with 60% of the vote is... HELEN Wow! You look great in yellow! Next, we have an award that everyone would win, if only we knew you better. The Howard Hughes Award: This one goes out to the most eccentric member of the boards. Whether it's stem cell research, abortion, or what they had for lunch yesterday; this member always seems to be on the other side of a debate. Of course, this award doesn't go to just any argumentative soul, this one's for someone who does it well. The nominees for this award include: lots of people The winner with 33% of the vote is... Kemaru Way to go! The Radiance Award: This award goes out to the most brilliant Paint.NET forumer. This person always has something to say, and sure enough, they're usually right. They know everything about some things, and seemingly something about everything. When someone struck you as a smart cookie, this is where you acknowledged that. The nominees for this award include: too many to list And, the winner with 21% of the vote is... welshblue Keep on shining! Rookie of the Year Award: This award goes out to the new member who made the biggest impact on the community. To be eligable for this award, the user must have joined after January 1, 2012. The nominees for this award include: DrewDale and Xzerizon The runner-up with 31% of the vote is... davidf And, the winner with 46% of the vote is... sashwilko Now, there's an award you can't win twice in a row! The Homer Simpson Award: This award goes out to the funniest forum member. Whether it be wit, shock value, clever writing, or some other form of humor which I'm invariably forgetting, this member is always on top of it. The nominees for this award include: nitenurse79, barbieq25, Pyrochild, and BoltBait (Hey! That's me!) The winner with 33% of the vote is... welshblue You all crack me up! Now, for the award that no one wants to win (or do they?) The Pauly Shore Award: This one goes to the unfunniest member. Maybe their wit isn't witty, or their shock value is too much. Whatever the case, here's your chance to recognize someone who specifically doesn't make you laugh. Oh, sure, they try... but always seem to come up short. The nominees for this award include: yellowman, Renee27, Rick Brewster, and Jim100361 The winner with 27% of the vote is... AGJM Better try more loller cats, guys! The Hit & Miss Award: This one's for the member who we miss -- for whatever reason (work, real life, bannination, death by meteor, etc.) they've left the discussion, and the Paint.NET forum members want them back. The nominees for this award include: Sarkut, Madjik, and Delpart The runner-up with 21% of the vote is... Ash And, the winner with 30% of the vote is... oma We miss you! Come back! The Spool Awards: This category recognizes members who are big names in certain threads or certain types of threads for their knowledge or help. 1) Captain N: (The UBB gamer) DarkShock 2) The MVP: (The sports guru) Goonfella 3) Siskel & Ebert: (The movie guru) BoltBait 4) Rolling Stone: (The music guru) welshblue 5) 101010: (The computer guru) Rick Brewster Let's see... the guy who wrote Paint.NET... wins! Congrats to all! Next, on to the awards for Paint.NET prowess! The Picasso Award: This one goes to the member who consistently creates the weirdest art (in a good way) using Paint.NET. The nominees for this award include: doughty, skullbonz, and yellowman The runner-up with 23% of the vote is... Red ochre And, the winner with 54% of the vote is... dug Well deserved recognition! The Monet Award: This one goes to the member who consistently creates the most beautiful art using Paint.NET. The nominees for this award include: nanettealsop, Sargon, Goonfella, barbieq25, Aislin, HELEN, and Drydareelin The runner-up with 20% of the vote is... Yellowman And, the winner with 33% of the vote is... welshblue The GE Award: This one goes to the author who created the best plugin of 2012. The runner-up with 23% of the vote is... davidf for his curlylines plugin And, the winner with 31% of the vote is... pyrochild for his Grid Warp plugin I think we're *all* the winners of this award, don't you? The Marlboro Award: Ever see one of those sigs and thought "Wow, that really makes me think!", or "Gee, that's awesome!"? Well, here's the category where you get the chance to recognize the member with that sig. This award is for the best signature of 2012. The nominees for this award include: Minners71, Kap, Yellowman, and sashwilko The winner with 43% of the vote is... nitenurse79 Paint.NET's Rabbi: This one goes to the best teacher of 2012. Authors of tutorials newly written this year are eligable. The nominees for this award include: Ella, Yellowman, and davidf The runner up with 31% of the vote is... Ego Eram Reputo The winner with 38% of the vote is... pdnnoob I think we can all learn from you! Now, a few things thrown in just for fun! 1) “And your newest mod for the Paint.NET forum is nitenurse79!” 2) “Wow, look, Aislin is showing their art in the Louvre!” 3) “Hey, Yellowman has his own TV show!” 4) “Hello, I’m Rick Brewster, and I’m an alcoholic.” 5) “In local news, police have finally gunned down Crazy Man Dan from his murderous rampage.” 6) “OMGWTFLOLBBQ, Yellowman just got bant good!” (My keyboard is on fire now... can't feel my fingers...) And, finally, the award you’ve all been waiting for... The Kings/Queens of Paint.NET: This award is plainly & simply the popularity contest you know you all want. You select 4 of this year's most popular forum members -- be they friendly, smart, interesting, funny, some of the above, none of the above, or what -- this award is for your favorite posters. As one voter put it, "I'll let you decide who are the kings and who are the queens!" The nominees for this award include just about everyone! The third place spot with 8% of the vote is... nanettealsop We have a tie for the runner-up spot: The runner-up with 15% of the votes is... barbieq25 The runner-up with 15% of the votes is... yellowman The runner-up with 15% of the votes is... HELEN *Drum roll, please* And, the clear winner with 21% of the vote is... welshblue the new King of Paint.NET! Well done, one and all! That about wraps it up for this year. I'd like to thank each and every one who turned in a ballot. You guys rock! And, to all the winners, I raise my glass, "cheers!" Good night. Rick Brewster, use a designated driver. Be safe, everyone.

Red ochre Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 Congratulations to all the winners & nominees.Thanks to BoltBait, the voters and Rick and the other admins too.Well done to Pyrochild who should have won the GE award for 'Liquify' last year!...and I can pass on the 'rookie' title to Sasha!Well done also to nitenurse for 'wearing' the Troll label all last year, I hope oddllama will take the Mimi Bobeck award in good humour this year.Personally I think the WEoaMP award should be dropped - it causes too much grief. Sadly we haven't heard much from last year's winner, Ahmed. I do hope that when Jim cools down he will not be too offended, but I can understand his feelings. I think many of us look forward to his photo manips and he certainly has more patience answering users questions than I do! Red ochre Plugin pack..............

pdnnoob Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 Congrats to all the winners! A well deserved award to pyro...liquify last year and Grid Warp this year. He's got to hit the mark some time or another! Thank you all for a great year. Now onwards towards making the new one even better! No, Paint.NET is not spyware...but, installing it is an IQ test. ~BoltBait Blend modes are like the filling in your sandwich.

AGJM Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 (edited) Thank you all so much. I wouldn't be here without you all. (If you are mad at me now, you read this in the wrong tone.)I guess it's hard to convey a sarcastic tone over the internet - and with me, sometimes a well-intended joke can sound like an angry one. bloody potato. I promise I'm funny in real life. I just can't work it with text. Text always gets read in the wrong tone, so then I just sound pitiful and annoying. And it happens more often because sometimes I do sound pitiful and annoying, when I'm not trying to be funny. I'm trying to be lighthearted right now, if you didn't notice... I am awful with text, as said before. Edited January 11, 2013 by AGJM The hardest part of ending is starting again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
null54 Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 Well done to Pyrochild who should have won the GE award for 'Liquify' last year! He won the 2010 award for Liquify and Trails, much to my dissapointment. This is also the first time since the 2009 awards that Pyro did not get the Gunned down award, I guess after 3 years in a row he learned not to mess with the cops. 1 Plugin Pack | PSFilterPdn | Content Aware Fill | G'MIC | Paint Shop Pro Filetype | RAW Filetype | WebP Filetype The small increase in performance you get coding in C++ over C# is hardly enough to offset the headache of coding in the C++ language. ~BoltBait Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rubrica Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 I am awful with text, as said before. And you're also 14 - so honestly, don't worry. I'm 14 myself, and also painfully unfunny, but do I care? Nope, because there's a whole lifetime to learn comedy in. (That doesn't stop me from being a misanthrope and pessimist, but that's another matter.) Anyway, congratulations to everybody who's won an award! I had neither the time nor the presence of mind to vote this year, sadly, but it's lovely to see that you all continue to be a cohesive and friendly community.

I had neither the time nor the presence of mind to vote this year, sadly, but it's lovely to see that you all continue to be a cohesive and friendly community. I'm seriously funny in real life - ask anyone I know. (Aside from the people that hate me. Don't ask them.) Anyways, yeah, congratulations to all of the winners.

yellowman Posted January 12, 2013 Share Posted January 12, 2013 Still the forum so warm and friendly, really well deserved winners, of course I mean the positive awards,I haven't voted for the negative awards this year, I just left them empty, I am not trying here to pull myself from troubles , but I promised past year that I wouldn't do it this year, so I feel now I am not guilty Thanks so much BoltBait for taking the time and putting this excellent work, you sir are awesome, and also a big thanks to Rick for PDN the reason that we are all here, and all lovely admins and mods and plugins creators.And also I like to thank everyone who nominated me for both, the positive and the negative awards equally, that means my name was still active past year, too.BTW I have won the TV Show (Surprised and thanks) and the OMGWTFLOLBBQ, I am really not sure what the latter one stand for, but I think it is one of the negative ones, funny to say that I voted for myself on this one Congratulations all winners again. Fainaly, as I think, please correct me if I am wrong, it is fair to say that nanettealsop, Pixey and nanette are the same person?
