Only thing i'm worried about with the plug.dj category is the amount of people that would be included, as I know we don't have a very large community of people that use plug.dj. But hey, i'll put it in and if it works, it works.

Valid point, but the converse would be: lets get more people in plug. I think its one of the best things we've done as a site in a long time. its about music, we all get to hear stuff we haven't before, and you know the music preferences of the people you're talking to.

In some way, to me, plug is more to the point of the site than the site itself.

Completely agree on most parts, I just wish I had more time to plug with you guys, because it always seems to be a great time. And I think having an award for it would be a good way to give it the attention it deserves since I also agree that it really has brought a lot of members closer together.

Not to glorify the former members who behaved trollishly and got prema-banned for it, we should lock in The Batlord for Biggest Troll of the Year.

Not discrediting him for the award though, he has done his fair share of "good" trolling since I've been here.

To be honest, I think the category of Biggest/Best Troll can't be won through a popularity contest (which my winning would clearly be). Any troll worth being called a troll has been banned. So, as far as I'm concerned Dirty/butthead is the only real contestant this year.

Yeah and then the twat comes back again and makes another 200 accounts.

For the love of God can we stop giving this guy so much attention and then wonder why he keeps coming back over and over again. This is like the 3rd conversation I've seen about him in 2 days.

The Batlord 11-02-2014 12:37 PM

Oh, one good category would be Best Journal Post. Unknown Soldier has swept the Best Journal award for the last three or four years, but he never deviates from a formula (which is the point though), and it'd be nice to highlight some posts that are more individual and creative.

Well, that's kind of why he's the Biggest/Best Troll of the Year. If you don't want to honor somebody then it makes sense to not have the award in the first place. As nice as it is to get an award, it wouldn't really make sense to give it to somebody who doesn't really qualify as a troll.

I second this.

If you read my description of troll you would quickly realize I didn't mean the idiots who've been banned. I was thinking more along the lines of members like you, Nea, Janz, etc who insert witty humor at the appropriate time which somehow enhances the thread while being completely off topic. If you have a better word than troll for that by all means use it.

Urban do you seriously get upset if people talk about him? I've never heard anyone say anything positive about him and you react as if he's getting applauded. Present and past controversy is bound to create some discussion from time to time, no sense getting pissy over it.

Plugging with people is way better than the forums, I wish more people would hop in.

Urban Hat€monger ? 11-02-2014 12:53 PM

I'm not getting pissy about anything.
Just stating fact.

Instead of a Best Troll award, why don't we have an award along the lines of being witty or something like that. I'm personally not a fan of the Best Troll award because evidently, it brings up members that I honestly am getting tired of hearing about. Dirty/Butthead is and will never be funny or in any way worthy of talking about. But Urban is right, there have been multiple threads where he has been brought up and i'm also confused as to why that is. This is one of the threads that I'd prefer not to see his name included as I don't think he's worthy of any awards. Unless we have a Ban of the Year award.

I'm definitely ok with this, but I fear that it would just be people's own Journal posts that they find are considered the best. It'd be difficult to narrow it down to just one post.
