Forum menu
As we move through the final quarter of 2017, should we aim at instituting a series of Forum Awards? Then we can all chip in and buy the winners a "P" for the year. The categories could be along the lines of:
1. Most humorous
2. Most obnoxious
3. Most surreal
4. Most helpful
5. Most interesting
6. Most pointless
7. Most contentious
8. Most unintentionally amusing
9. Most likely to actually know what they're talking about
10. Most likely to actually ride bikes
Any other categories?
What do you think? 😉
Did they not used to have that 'back in the day' with invites to STW towers and everyfing?
I feel I have made a strong showing in each category

Until that court order, anyway.
Definitely. What this forum totally needs is more opportunities to disappear up its own arse.

Yes, I invented them years ago
These sort of things always feel a bit cliquey.
".....and most of all, I'd like to thank God"
And then it all kicks off 😉
I already bought TeamHurtmore a subscription as a thank you for standing up on my behalf wrt to posts I had not even seen. This got him a 3 month ban as he overstepped the mark.

".....and most of all, I'd like to thank God"
You're only saying that because you're a stupid moron with a brain the size of a pea and all the learning of the average ant.
And you smell. Smelly.
No offence. 😉
That gets me at least one...
I'd like to give the award for most truncated thread title on the mobile platform to......
No offence.
None taken. I'm all about the forgiveness
Maybe just do the positive ones, if you want. Negativity is a bit pants.
Most likely to get banned.
Most stupid questions asked in the Bike forum (only because I'm in with a chance of winning that one).
Best use of meme or GIF
Best thread derailment
Most likely to not know what they are talking about
Maybe just do the positive ones, if you want. Negativity is a bit pants.
That, and chewy would be a shoe-in for most of the -ve ones.
best services to greggs
Negativity is a bit pants.
^^^.
When everyone piles on, it can just turn into bullying. Even if the recipient is tool, it's not nice.
[b]saxonrider[/b] really not a good idea. Leads to playground name-calling or the forum disappearing up its own bottom bracket.
Most likely to disappear for a year and return pretending like nothing's happened only now doesn't put up amusing gifs as much (or at all?) 😆
You could do stupidest bike maintenance blunder, but you can only nominate yourself 🙂
OP, failing getting the awards going on here, could you not use the first 8 categories for your kids?
I think perchypanther's post describing Jezza's trail preferences wins.
Made a bit of wee come out. 😀

That explains a lot. 😯

Surely Northwind's forks have this sewn up in perpetuity?
I think perchypanther's post describing Jezza's trail preferences wins.
I'd like to argue but have no argument

Got a link..?
^least likely to be seen riding his bike^^^^^

Most cliquey thread award?
^least likely to be seen riding his bike^^^^^
Indeed... and for two reasons;
1 - I don't ride as much as I used to, and
2 - I don't ride with anyone on STW so nobody here would see me riding my bike...

Wot no left handed strimmer award...? Tsskkkk.
I already bought TeamHurtmore a subscription as a thank you for standing up on my behalf
Hasn't he suffered enough?
If we can only do one please make it 'best stealth ad'
On the positive front
1. Most humorous - PP by a country mile
5. Most interesting - saxonrider (esp given the context too)
8. Most unintentionally amusing - [s]E[/s] nah, better not
9. Most likely to actually know what they're talking about - mefty
10. Most likely to actually ride bikes - that fast bloke - gee something and I did meet postierich once but his bike was bust so could be a fraud 😉
Marin - are you suggest that the sub is a waste of money?!?

Is this not just bloody odd?

It's perfectly normal for two consenting adults to exchange gifts to show their fondness for each other.
Tricky one, I have a terrible memory for other poster's names, even though I'm pretty confident I'd be pretty high in a league table of 'most time spent reading forum'.
Nominate Northwind for 'most political posts I've found genuinely insiteful' and a joint nomination for 'making the best of a tedious thread' for everyone who contributed to my thread on the correct use of the word 'contingent' which actually turned into quite a funny thread, if shortlived.

But 'P' though?
That's a bit .....specialist, innit?

Don't be jealous because you haven't been showered with P-like gifts.

😮
- I don't ride with anyone on STW so nobody here would see me riding my bike...
* cough *

Wow. This is a direction I did not anticipate when the thread started. 😯
Midnight in Moscow...

With one exception, once a year or so! (Sorry, C.)
You been drinking with the neighbour again, Woppit? 😀
😀
No "most awesomest moderator ever" award? Is disappoint.
Eh, Scotroutes would probably have won it anyway.
most awesomest moderator ever
You're right we need something for drac.

If there was a 'Most active moderator on the forum today' award, you would have won hands down, Cougar. 😉
Really, though, you would have had my vote. Unless drac is reading this. Then you would have my vote, drac.

Oooh! A nice a beer or coffee cheers.

Hi!
Anyway didn’t GW do this last week?
Eh, Scotroutes would probably have won it anyway.
Scotroutes is a mod?

most stealthy mod who nobody realised was a mod - [s]scotroutes[/s]
Poorly kept secret that 😉
Silent but deadly
Scotroutes is a mod?
If that surprises you, let me tell you a little sec[STOP THAT. NOW! Mods]
You could do stupidest bike maintenance blunder, but you can only nominate yourself
Well that will be hard to judge.... paging northwind...

Bugger it I can't make it show. You'll have to click yourself!
It’s not a secret.

It’s not a secret.
Well, it isn't now.
I tend to find that the people who respond to these kind of posts are generally the people who wish they were nominated in these kind of posts*
*i recognise the irony of this post. But hey, I'm awesome.
Well, it isn't now.
It’s never been one.
Scam / finest use of dual logins. Junkyard for that whole gnusmas thing. Although what Junkyard wanted with two electric wheelchairs I'm not sure.

Not quite sure that'll fly given the response to gnusmas thread...
It’s never been one.
It wasn't advertised, not that there is a requirement - I guess if you spend a lot of time on here, it may be obvious - which ties in nicely with the alleged cliquishness of these types of threads.
Mefty - I'll have to take my nomination back 😉
Scotroutes is a mod?
Despite popular opinion, no, he isn't. That was the joke.
(And I'm not just saying that to protect his identity, he really isn't. If he was I'd never have brought it up in the first place.)
((or would I...?))

Shit, rumbled.

Biggest Sad Act Moderator With Nothing Better To Do award, yeah, I'll be all over that one.
Jeez. I thought [i]everyone[/i] knew that I used my second login for modding 🙄
Hi, Emsz.
Despite popular opinion, no, he isn't. That was the joke.
I'm sure one.of my bans resulted from a disagreement aboit his modding
Mefty - I'll have to take my nomination back
It is all too intricate for me - I normally avoid these types of threads, I knew there must have been a good reason.
I'm sure one.of my bans resulted from a disagreement aboit his modding
That would seem highly unlikely. Given that a) you wouldn't get a ban in isolation just for disagreeing about moderation, and b) he's not -actually- a moderator so it's simply not possible.
I probably shouldn't admit this out loud for fear of encouraging the bridge-dwellers, but I tend to be more lenient rather than less when something's directed at me / us. I had someone have a pop at me a couple of days ago which would've earned them a warning / short ban under other circumstances, I let it slide rather than be accused of an abuse of power / privilege.
I'm reasonably certain that all of the anonymous mods are users you'd never suspect in a million years and you wouldn't even believe me if I told you who they were. The "big hitters" are all out because ego.
Er, oh, shit.
(... or are they?)
I only mod on the New Forum

Hang on - isn't that virtue signalling or something. I jest, if you can blow your own trumpet you bloody well should, IYAM.
I reckon Sandwich is a mod. Dunno why... 🙂

Speaking of which, Cougar, do you know when I get my cheque?

Mate, STFU!!

(-: Point was, "I'd argue but Moderator" is a [s]lazy[/s] moot argument in the Chat forum. I've said this time and again. I don't know of any Moderator ever, out or anon, who has abused their privs to win an argument or shut down criticism. Not least because if they did they'd get mauled by the rest of the team.

You're being paid? 😯
MARK!!

We would never agree what to do anyway 😉

That's good to read. And I guess we all know that when it comes down to it, which is why I felt safe telling Drac to go **** himself the other day*...
*I didn't, really. I felt kinda mean. Which is why I self modded.
