BoltBait Posted January 4, 2008 Share Posted January 4, 2008 Welcome to the 2007 Paint.NET Forum Awards Show! Where you decided the best of 2007, the worst of 2007, and everything in between! I'm your host, BoltBait. 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 2007 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 2007, you guys know what a forum troll on the Internet is by now. The nominees for this award include: Paint_Boy, aafuss, david.atwell, verndewd, Pooky, Andrew D, DarkShock91 Sharing the runner-up spot with 14% of the vote each are... Panhead & jerkfight And, the winner with 22% of the vote is... Bugster 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: Ash, Crazy Man Dan The runner-up with 35% of the vote is... BoltBait And, the clear winner with 59% of the vote is... Rick Brewster Where do you find the time?! 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. With a surprising amount of self-voting, the nominees for this award include: ncfan51, Markz_clone, david.atwell, Micheal J. Hardy, aafuss, PrettyDarnNeat, Yata, Bugster The runner-up with 15% of the vote is... verndewd And, the winner with 23% of the vote is... Andrew D 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: Wither, oma, Crazy Man Dan, pyrochild, Myrddin, Rubrica, ash The runner-up with 19% of the vote is... MadJik And, the winner with 25% of the vote is... david.atwell 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 17% of the vote is... oma Keep sharing those hugs, oma! 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: MadJik, Rick Brewster, Andrew D, Yata, Rubrica, Pyjo, Bobofthedead, darkshock91, usedHONDA, TheVoid The runner-up with 13% of the vote is... Crazy Man Dan And, the winner with 20% of the vote is... pyrochild Way to go, pyrochild! 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: david.atwell, Helio, Madjik The runner-up with 29% of the vote is... Myrddin And, the winner with 36% of the vote is... Crazy Man Dan Shine on you crazy diamond! 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: Crazy Man Dan, Wither, Frojo, david.atwell, Bugster, Myrddin, Bob, mattblacklamb The runner-up with 13% of the vote is... Rick Brewster And, the winners with 20% of the vote each are... BoltBait & pyrochild Woah! That's me! Now, for the award that no one wants to win. 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: Verndewd, topHATslash, david.atwell, usedHONDA, Bugster, Rick Brewster Sharing the runner-up spot with 17% of the vote each are... Rubrica & pyrochild And, the winner with 25% of the vote is... Andrew D 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: Trickman, Yata (he left?), Tom Jackson, verndewd, Vlad Vampire, user24 And, the winners with 20% of the vote each are... jake2k & aatwo We miss you guys! 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) david.atwell (38%) Keep running those Hurt/Heal games! 2) The MVP: (The sports guru) pyrochild (100%) I guess we don't talk sports on this board. We had one vote... But, well played! 3) Siskel & Ebert: (The movie guru) Bugster (50%) Also a small vote. 4) Rolling Stone: (The music guru) MattBlackLamb (42%) Despite the fact that jake2k is in a band, MBL crushed him! 5) 101010: (The computer guru) Rick Brewster (38%) 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: pyrochild, Ash, cjmcguiness, aatwo, pyjo, jpope And, the winners with 25% of the vote each are... MadJik & oma Both well deserved recognitions! 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: pyjo, cmjguiness, Wither, Crazy Man Dan, janetsue, oma, TheVoid, verndewd The runner-up with 16% of the vote is... barkbark00 And, the winner with 32% of the vote is... Ash The GE Award: This one goes to the author who created the best plugin of 2007. The nominees for this award include: Illnab1024, Ed Harvey, Madjik The runner-up with 30% of the vote is... MKT And, the winner with 40% of the vote is... pyrochild You keep trying, MKT. I'm sure you'll get it one day! Meanwhile... Curves+ FTW! 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 2007. The nominees for this award include: Wither, Ash, theVoid, david.atwell, BuzzKill, jerkfight, Stephan The runner-up with 20% of the vote is... barkbark00 And, the winner with 27% of the vote is... Helio Now, a few things thrown in just for fun! 1) “And your newest mod for the Paint.NET forum is david.atwell!” (38%) 2) “Wow, look, Ash is showing their art in the Louvre!” (38%) 3) “Hey, Rick Brewster has his own TV show!” (21%) 4) “Hello, I’m Rick Brewster, and I’m an alcoholic.” (15%) 5) “In local news, police have finally gunned down Andrew D from his murderous rampage.” (25%) 6) “OMGWTFLOLBBQ, aafuss just got bant good!” (29%) (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! Sharing the third place spot with 7% of the vote each are... BoltBait, david.atwell, pyrochild, & Rick Brewster The runner-up with 9% of the votes is... Crazy Man Dan And, the winner with 16% of the vote is... Ash 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! Also, to DarkShock91 for making the nifty banner you see above. And, to all the winners, I raise my glass, "cheers!" Good night. Use a designated driver. Be safe, everyone. See you all next year!

Andrew D Posted January 4, 2008 Share Posted January 4, 2008 I should really say that I don't try to be funny. I'm suprised with some of the nominations though, it seems that people's opinion's vary a lot. 5) “In local news, police have finally gunned down Andrew D from his murderous rampage.” (25%) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
usedHONDA Posted January 4, 2008 Share Posted January 4, 2008 I guess I do debate a lot if it has to do with cars, so I understand the most eccentric nomination "The greatest thing about the Internet is that you can write anything you want and give it a false source." ~Ezra Pound twtr | dA | tmblr | yt | fb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoltBait Posted January 4, 2008 Author Share Posted January 4, 2008 I guess I do debate a lot if it has to do with cars, so I understand the most eccentric nomination With the second most number of posts on the board, how did you not win the Troll award? :shock: Anyway, I would like to thank everyone that voted for me. It has been a pleasure serving you as mod of this forum. You really do make my job easy.

Or a person who spams a lot, or flames a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
