The only 'awards' I can see reaaaally being that bad are the "pay to not sleep with" and "worst overall forumite"

All the rest really aren't that bad, the winner should more or less learn to take a joke.

Worst overall forumite is bad (as is worst old and new poster), but considering that about 90% of posters here are guys, I don't see whats so bad about the "pay to notsleep with you one." Like Cara said, we should be able to take a joke.

That one is ok as a joke, but worst overall poster? Worst new poster and old poster? Plz can we scrap that shit GBT?

Agreed. But let's everybody vote. I know not voting is cool and all and makes you an apathetic hipster or a man of principle, but this could be fun.

Oh come on, join the fun!

I'm too cool to vote.

Because Brahm said so.

I don't see the prob. with worst poster. It'll make their posts better, and everyone will win.

If someone wins the Worst Poster award, and then kills themselves, then you can blame me, although that'll make the site better too. :rolleyes:

Why exactly should there be no negative awards?

I never see arguments like this when there is a full-blown flame-war because someone made a ridiculous point or is offensive for no reason. Nor do I remember being such a fuss about negative awards the last time.. I agree that a few of the negative ones are quite harsh, but then again a very few people deserve it :lame:

Personally, If I won: worst overall poster, I would just try to think what I did to deserve this, but not going on a rampage or kill myself.

Not into popularity contests like this.

I can't think of a popularity contest that I have ever won... or even achieved a respectable mid-table finish in.

Normally I manage to shield myself from the realisation that all the things I do that I think are cool aren't, and all the things I do that I don't think are annoying or stupid are.

I cannot guarantee this on my part.

OK everyone vote for Fingon... it's the safest way. :wink:

You're saying if you got the worst poster award you wouldn't throw a hissy fit?

I just didn't think this site was about negativity :unsure:

I wouldn't throw a hissy fit; I might sulk a bit, but as I hope everyone knows by now a good deal of my posts are sarky. As for negativity, it's not, but neither are we mydeathspace.com - we accept constructive criticism and we're all the better for it. Men! Metal! Beer! And so on.

Probably there is perverse pride in being voted the forum's worst poster....

Take a joke, Mr. Penis Man. Why aren't you voting, then?

Who gives a fuck. There is such a thing as taking the Internet too seriously. Just vote.

You're probably right. I guess I have to put in some effort to remember which of you fucks I like reading more.

i couldnt decide on a best or worst or funniest poster because nobody here strikes me as particularly amazing or horrible or hilarious. not that nobody is great or funny but nobody really stands out as any of those things.

I had that trouble so I just put my favorites for the best. I didn't select someone for every category. The death/black/thrash being lumped together is a little ridiculous as well.
