2006 Flash Forum Awards Nominations

10,180 Views | 198 Replies
New Topic

back again for another year of laughter, tears, and mouth sex. keep all nominations to flash forum members, and everything should be just fine. for those of you around since last year, you might be experiencing a bit of deja vu, but i assure you that this is gonna be a bit different than last year. but lets start off with some...

Rules:
avoid self-nominations. post first, read later. give a brief explanation of your nomination. keep this exclusive to 2006.

the categories are as follows:

Best User of 2006 - new or old, this user got perfect marks. friendly, reliable, mature, helpful, plays well with others, the list goes on and on. which user this year really got your juices flowings?

Peer Mentor - maybe not always friendly or cheerful, but this user is always first in a thread to make sure that the correct answer is given. which user do you feel contributed the most helpful solutions?

Attention Whore 2006 - for the love of god, stop talking about yourself, you arent that special. which user clearly didnt get hugged enough as a child? which user just couldnt seem to get enough attention?

Emo Kid 2006 - we all know, no one loves you. who here ruined every thread with arguments, e-drama, and unnecessary flaming?

Most Overrated User - well, everyone loves an underdog, but eventually, enough is enough? who here has gotten all of the praise undeservedly? this user may have done some great things, but not enough to warrant all the fanboys...

Most Underrated User - in contrast, which user just didnt seem to get the respect they deserved? sometimes, great users fly under the radar. who do you feel deserved a bit more attention paid to their great work?

Spam King 2006 - some users spend a long time producing thoughtful replies to academic queries. other users post before they can even read the thread. which user cluttered the BBS with useless nonsense?

Where in the World? - which user suddenly disappeared? how could they leave us? who do you wish would come back just for long enough so you can remember what it felt like to be happy?

Worst Poster 2006 - this person never has anything useful to say, no matter what the topic. the amount of wasteful posts they make is directly proportional to their post count (one-for-one as it were). who deserves the permaban?

Favourite Moderator (or "How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Mods") - who always knows the right thing to say to contribute to the good threads, and who always has something witty to say right before they lock a thread? sure, it may be a nuissance to have to patrol the BBS as the unloved police, but this person does it willingly and joyfully.

Rookie of the Year 2006 - who came in with a great bang this year. this user came in AFTER january 1, 2006, and managed to contribute an unusual amount. who could believe that new people have such an impact on the BBS?

Best User of 2006 - jmtb02. i don't think anyone else could have handled the endless flood of lame-named threads as well as he did.

Peer Mentor - Kirk-Cocaine. your endless links to AS: Main tutorials have inspired me.

Attention Whore 2006 - CoolbluedudeX. he whored out his myspace site in every post, and has posted random and irrelevant pictures.

Emo Kid 2006 - Ninja-Chicken! i kid. no one really comes to mind for this category.

Most Overrated User - hmm...no clue, really. let's go with last year's winner, Glaiel-Gamer.

Most Underrated User - hmm...i'm gonna have to say Blaze. i'd say i'm quite under-rated, but self-nominations = false;

Spam King 2006 - Bendo. i love it when i don't need to explain things.

Where in the World? - IWantSomeCookies! he left in 2006, didn't he?

Worst Poster 2006 - bloodykyle. i think this one speaks for itself.

Favourite Moderator - ooh, this is a tough one. either jmtb02 or luis ]: hmm...i think i'm gonna have to go with luis on this one. jmtb02, if you just left a really witty message after each topic you locked for a stupid name, you'd win this, easily :P

Rookie of the Year 2006 - GregThorne. he has a good BA, over 100 posts which are all relevant and grammatically correct. all in the four months he's been here? seems like a fine chap to me!

Best User of 2006

Jmtb02. He was always pretty helpful and he got modded this year, so he must be doing something right! :D

Peer Mentor

Rammer always seems to be giving good advice and is quite fast to reply.

Most Overrated User

Glaiel-Gamer. Obvious choice, lol. ;)

Most Underrated User

Johnny. Good game maker, has a great BA, but no portal awards. He's also a helpful BBS'er but doesn't seem to get the attention he deserves.

Where in the World?

JPI. Without a shadow of a doubt. A great user who seemed to disappear do to "Uni" commitments. Blasted learnings.

Favourite Moderator

Luis. The only "real" Choice some might say. He started the reg lounge and seemed to be to be the most active this year.

Rookie of the Year 2006

West-End-Pro. He definitely seems to be one of the best '06ers about. Was part of the Tutorial Collab and seems to be a good AS'er.

-------------------------

I'll post the rest of my nominations later.

Jmtb02.
he got modded this year

"got modded"-the equivelant to "got knighted" in the middle ages

but it sounds more like, got moderated...not got turned into a moderator...

actually we should say he was "made" like in the mofia, but just an internet mofia run by teenagers...

Haha, yeah I like the idea of the mods all being Made Men, sitting at their PC's in pin-stripe suits with Tommy Guns by their sides cleaning up spam on the BBS. =D

Best User of 2006 -

mogly
I think he was the one true success story of really finding a friend in this forum. I enjoy working with him whenever possible, i generally enjoy whatever he has to say and it made this year pretty entertaining being around him and all you regs.

Peer Mentor -

jmtb02
I really enjoyed the class he brings to modding. Hes still new which probably explains it but hes very respectful of users and of other mods and their style of modding, real class act.

Attention Whore 2006 -

Toast-
spent most of the year banned but on the few days he was back from bannings he just screwed himself over again. He does this every year.

Emo Kid 2006 -

Rudy
Brings his personal drama to every fucking post. he went as far as posting his eye surgery photos in a FLASH FORUM multiple times to explain why he was not going to be part of a worthless collab. cmon get the fuck over yourself

Most Overrated User -

DFox
He loves getting in confrontations with me and i have waged a jihad on him. He is against all I am fighting for in the flash scene.

Most Underrated User -

AloneintheDark
Doesnt come around much but i really enjoy his wisdom... its refreshing to have someone my age come over and add to the discussions of things. It gets boring being amongst 13 yr olds all the time i feel misunderstood.

Spam King 2006 -

Masterswordsman
Responsible for 45% of the spam in the Flash Reg Lounge.
THANKS.

Where in the World? -

Tom Fulp
He finally got around to posting in this forum after i threw him some bait. I hope he starts to do so some more. It really is a cool thing for him to actively still be in tune with the flash scene here in his own forum.

Worst Poster 2006 -

Chikunhed
Glad he never posts anymore. He never brought anything to this forum but headaches. I wont miss you.

Favourite Moderator

HappySheep
Because he msgs me everyday with rule breakers. I wish i were one of those mods who gets annoyed by backseat modding but i dont it makes it easy.

Rookie of the Year 2006

SuperFlashBros Tom
I hated you two before this year, seemed snobby and out of tune with the flash community. But with your appearances in the reg forum I've grown a liking to you. I think you two are some talented pair of sperm.
I look forward to working with you in 2007 at some point.

I vote myself overrated also, i really dont understand why people have me in their sigs.

I LOVE YOU ALL. seriously i really take great pride in taking an active role in this forum, i think its the most exciting of all the forums .. it has alot of talented people and i think that it makes you that much better to be in the trenches and have active conversations with others in the scene. Too many fucking people live in a bubble when interacting with other minds makes you better.

Snobbiest Mod I've seen. I like that he's active, but not that he's a stuckup jerk. Never can mod silently, always has to say something before he ever so epicly locks a thread

Favourite Moderator (or "How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Mods") - Afro-Ninja
Dealt with him only once and found him to be nice and responsible

only two votes, cause that's all i've really noticed. take it or leave it
