Icehawk's Top 263 Users of 2009

Icehawk started his own big Top User List for the first time in 2009.

Introduction
Hello.

First off, I'd like you to note the lack of LIES in the topic title. I am a good and honest man. I do not claim to bring you a "top 500" users list of the year, because, that's just an arbitrary number used to bring in the posts. I personally went through the board, as well as the wiki, and came up with 263 users I felt like I could say a few words about. Now, I doubt I'll be doing writeups on everyone, but if anyone requests one, I should be able to say something!

But yeah, I decided to step up and do my own version of this topic since Smurf is a big fat failure.

This is my personal top users of the year. When ranking, I was actually surprised myself at how high some people are this year. It's probably because I don't talk to people on AIM so much anymore, so people's posts on the boards contributed a lot more for me.

And while this is my personal favorites, when I was trying to figure out where to rank some people, being a positive contributor to the board generally gives you a boost in my eyes. Also, this is my actual 2009 rankings. I tried to only base this off 2009 interactions for the most part, though theres naturally some exceptions, but the point is, some people I like ended up lower than they would have been otherwise.

So basically, ignore Smurf's lame topic and come here to fulfill your 2009 ranking needs! I'll be starting this in an hour or 2, got stuff to do.

'''263. Ertyu
Only user I have EVER had to ignore. I just couldn't take it anymore.

When I first learned of ertyu, I was confused, but he amused me in a weird way. His drawings were funny, as were his naked kickboxing desires. Also, in 2007 and 2008, he predicted that #30 wouldn't win the Royal Rumble (the last entrant had never won the Rumble till 2007). So him managing to make the prediction and being wrong 2 straight years was pretty hilarious.

But this year, he just went weird. He became like a self-aware gimmick. Posting the things that got him attention on purpose, constantly changing his allegiance to sports teams, making weird paranoid topics. He just became annoying, not funny, and obviously, completely worthless.

The worst part though, was that, I can ignore people I don't like well enough, but for some reason, perhaps it was the terrible grammar, my eyes always catch his topics, I end up clicking them, then realizing precious life was wasted. He went from kind of funny gimmick, to "getting kind of old" gimmick, to self-aware, old, annoying, agghhh.

I remember when I first put him on ignore, people said the GFAQs system of ignore makes it hard to truly ignore someone, since you can see you aren't seeing so many topics, but I literally haven't been tempted to see what he is posting ever, because I know exactly the kind of stuff he is saying and I know it isn't worth my time.

'''262. SephirothG

A really terrible political troll. All his topics are essentially the same thing, and shame on all of you for posting in them. I seriously have never interacted with him till he made some stupid comment on MMA. Me and blazer quickly pwned him, he accepted defeat. I decided to troll him for it. He quickly went to the "omg u r virgin" argument, always a sign of a bad troll. But the funny thing is, usually if someone calls me a virgin, I'm quick to get defensive and point out I attend MSU and have had a pretty good amount of vag in my time (seriously, drunk MSU girls are... easy). But I think so little of him, I literally did not care if he thought that. I was willing to go along with his trolling that I watch hentai all day and dream of submissive asian girls. He's someone who goes out of his way to stir up drama and arguing, but it's never fun and it's always stupid, and he doesn't try and isn't entertaining. Stop posting in his topics.

'''261. SvenGeorgeson

Just as bad of a troll, but he likes to go for religion more than other conservative trolls. If you don't agree with his opinions you are a "sheep", and it's pretty pathetic. Once again, not sure how his topics attract posts ever.

'''260. XIII is cool

Just an extremely bitter and angry guy who sucks. I can't get over how pathetic he is honestly. He hates Smurf so I guess he tried rallying and alt voting to "ruin" the contest... and he did such a bad job at it he failed. I mean come on, thats just sad. Luckily, I haven't noticed him much this year outside of that, but plenty of terrible users have popped up to take his place unfortunately.

'''259. darkx

I cannot stand sensitive *****es. Darkx is pretty much the biggest baby alive. He might not be a terrible user if he wasn't such a big *****, but unfortunately, this is the only truly memorable thing about him. My main memory from him this year, was when he said he was leaving, then came back. I made fun of him on the podcast, and read his return post in an emo voice. He cried and said I was terrible, and he pities me. I said he was a baby... so he quickly deleted his post. Then he makes a topic saying he wants to talk on AIM. Basically, he wanted to talk on AIM and have a big cry fest then hope that I apologize for my actions and we become BFF. I'm not into that. I said no and made a mini-speech telling him to man up, and then of course, he closes the topic, and I'm pretty sure put me on ignore after that. Biggest ***** on the board, without question.

'''258. Vlado

I believe when I questioned one topic whether Vlado was "himself" on the board, or an elaborate troll, Tombs or someone said that Bulgarians are "eccentric" from the ones he met. Thats a pretty good word for Vlado, eccentric. He has the same fondness for internet girls that Smurf does, except he is a lot more upfront about it, which is weird. He is pretty much unwilling to compromise ever. He is unable to have arguments and stay friends with people afterwards, except for Swift, but Swift argues with everyone.

His main highlight this year was of course, Vlado Live. Not a terrible idea of course, but terrible execution. I listened to the first ep and couldn't believe how bad it was. And, as usual, he is uncompromising, and refused to take any suggestions.

The other main eccentric thing about him is his love of Tifa. Is it a coincidence that the character who he thinks is the best ever is from Sony's most popular game on GameFAQs, and, just so happens to be a GIRL with big BOOBIES? Unlikely, but he'll never admit it obviously.

So overall, he is just a frustrating and weird user, not someone I could ever get along with.

'''257. joyrock

joyrock has lots of terrible opinions, and thats fine, lots of people do. But he has a bad habit of expressing them strongly, without backup, then quoting anyone who tries to counterpoint, and then just responds with something stupid like "wrong". God damn. There is absolutely no point in trying to have a discussion with him on anything, he is not worth it.

Also, he kinda sucks to play AIM mafia with, so more negative points.

Unlike a lot of the trolls on the board though, I feel like he actually isn't too big of a loser off the board, so props to him for that.

'''256. Albion

Albion admits he is a troll, unlike a lot of trolls, so thats cool. Obviously doesn't take away that most of his posts are dumb and useless.

My main problem with Albion isn't that he makes so many terrible points in arguments. It's that he posts SO much, and most of his posts are just taking up space. Doesn't he get tired of posting metacritic links in 33% of his posts?

And he's just really annoying. Dragon Age is an awesome game, but now the board decides to bash it because he made endless countdown topics, and various topics about it with no real content. Good god.

The worst part is, I feel if he didn't post so many topics, he could be an average poster, but he is just inescapable on the boards, you can rarely go into a topic without him chiming in, no matter how little he knows about the subject.

Plus, he has cybered with several male B8ers, thats just weird.

Oh, and I have no idea why he insists on posting with Cyclo's account as his main account, probably because he enjoys being annoying.

'''255. Stingers

Just someone I've never liked. He is way too obsessive about whatever game he likes at the moment, posting way too much about it. Brawl, BlazBlue, Xenosaga, I just don't care. He also has a bad habit of trying to act cool, going with all lowercase at times, but he's never funny and CERTAINLY not cool. And he sucks at AIM mafia. In the eyes of most people, he probably doesn't deserve to be lower than some of the people on this list, but he's just someone I can never get along with.

'''254. MichaelWClark

He is higher than some people thought for a reason, he has the ability to be a normal functioning user on the board, he just is kind of dumb and has anger management problems, which prevents him from being an OK user.

In 2008 I mostly liked MWC all year. I ignored most of his topics. He posted in my YGO/Pokemon topics and was a quality user and contributor.

However, in 2009 he just got angrier and angrier. You can't disagree with him about anything without him going crazy about it and taking it personally. He posts tons of topics about stupid crap. The worst obviously being his Yankees topics during the playoffs, when he is from KENTUCKY. It's hilarious how the most obnoxious Yankees fans aren't even from New York. But yeah, overall he's a bit higher than he probably should be because I know he can be a decent guy, but his anger or something prevents him from doing so.

'''253. SenorHouseMouse

Made one of the most terrible series of topics this year with his "COMMUNITY COLLEGE ALL STAR" topics. He made like 10 topics about how awesome he was and how stupid other people were in his school, but it turns out he went to a community college. WTF. There is nothing at all wrong with Community College, it's a good way to save cash and use as a stepping stone, but bragging about yourself being awesome in school is already annoying. When you go to a community college and do it? Give me a break.

Other than that, I always get a slight "angry" vibe from him, and I don't enjoy his posts.

'''252. Scott_Pilgrim

Not a guy I see around much, but quite frankly, it's weird and awkward that he still posts here. Just down right strange. Acting like a girl is strange but not like THAT strange, he could have just been doing it for kicks, till he went and cybered with GMUN or something. After that all got exposed, not sure why you would still post here. This dude just creeps me out.

'''251. o_Okami

Haven't seen this guy most of the year, until recently when he decided to post the same 6 bullet point list about Dragon Age in like every Dragon Age topic. He says stuff like "theres not enough mage armor", and "the game is too easy with a mage" as reasons why it can't be game of the year (turn up the difficulty bro). But yeah, 6 weird nitpicks that no one would notice (yeah the Graphics aren't AMAZING, but they are solid, and unlike a lot of WRPGs, I haven't come across any bugs). That annoyed me enough to get him pretty low.

'''250. MegaMaverickHunter
I never heard of this guy till I saw his pic in my pic ranking topic. I believe my comment was "...".

He then went on to post on the "outcasts" board with jp and complained about people calling him ugly. Quite frankly, I don't know how he could not think he is ugly. So yeah, outside of being one of those annoying people that posts outside of the board and complains about the board, his posts are mostly useless, he is a weird guy.

'''249. Red Shifter

I think he may post in various topics like a normal user, but I never see those topics. All I see is...

A. QUAD topics, never particularly witty or funny B. COMPLAINING ABOUT SHOOTERS THAT ARE POPULAR ON CONSOLES

He is an idiotic Halo hater, TRIBES TRIBES TRIBES, bash games that are popular on consoles, god PC gamers are terrible human beings. He is one of the few people who I don't think I've ever thought "man that was a good post". Just too predictable and annoying.

'''248. SovietOmega

Omega seems like he has the ability to be normal. I've seen him in sci-fi topics and other topics, and he's a normal user who can offer something to the discussion. But man, his cat girl/lolicon topics are just stupid and disturbing. I'm not sure if he is trying to troll or what, but if he is, the subject is too old to be worthwhile, and he is just plain creepy. If not for the creepiness factor, he might be OK.

'''247. Dr Pizza

If you've ever seen one of his youtube videos, they are kind of funny, but overall, just really sad. The guy has the same problems as MWC, just more apparent. He is stupid, and he is angry. That just about sums it all up. One topic I messed with him and acted like I truly agreed with what he was saying, and he seemed stunned and kind of happy... which was pretty sad. I almost feel bad for him, but the pure angry kind of prevents that from happening.

'''246. paulg

I forget which mafia game I was in this guy... but it was just weird. He's not very good, yet he THINKS he is good, which is a terrible trait to have. He would make terrible points constantly, crazy accusations, and of course, since he sucks, he gets to stay alive all game. People like him really ruin mafia. He's just not very smart.

'''245. Heroic Mario

Interacting with tranny really ruined him imo. I can't help but feel like all his posts are just to fit in with his new KREW. He always gets overly defensive about whether MGS4 will ever come to the 360 (for someone who, in the tranny mold, tries to always act like he doesn't care, it's pretty strange). He's not a fun user like he used to be, he just makes lists, and does CLICK stuff. He probably doesn't deserve to be this low, but he used to be one of my favorite users and people to talk to, so it's always a bit sad to see him acting completely different than he did 2-3 years ago.

'''244. NoobpwnerBillio

God awful troll. The name pretty much sums it up.He really thinks hes pwning dem noobs. He is not an entertaining troll, just sad. He is only this high because he is so not memorable to me, that I can't even remember any specific interactions with him from this year.

'''243. KarmaHunter

Probably the most annoying liberal troll on the board. Way too quick to play the race card, and way too obnoxious and smarmy in debates. I haven't noticed him in anything but Obama topics this year. He might be a stat nerd too, but I don't follow those topics. All I've seen him in is political debates, and he is way too extremist left and obnoxious for my tastes. His debate style reminds me of muffin's in that he thrives on overexaggerations and nitpicking. He annoys me, quite simply. He used to be more fun, but campaigning for Obama made him evil and bitter.

'''242. Diet Water

Obnoxious bitter dude. It's a shame because unlike most trolls, he has a cool username, plus the cool sig pic. Off that you would probably think "oh man thats a cool dude", but nope, hes lame, angry, borderline troll material, posting nothing of worth, just putting people and stuff down for the most part.

'''241. Wang

This guy just bugs me.

First off, way too wordy. Guy needs to learn to say things in less words. He may have fixed this, but when he first started playing mafia, he just posted HUGE walls of texts contributing nothing, which was an absolute pain in the ass, that was early in the year, so already NEGATIVE POINTS.

From there, he is just frustrating to argue with in the wrestling topic. He is one of those annoying people with the same opinions as all the "cool" wrestling fans, but he doesn't actually know what he is talking about imo, he never backs himself up well yet the argument just goes on forever stupidly because he never gives up. And in general, I just find him to be too serious most of the time, and not a fun user at all. Like a few others, probably not someone most would have this low, but he is someone I just can't get along with.

'''240. Hippo

He is only this high because I haven't seen him/noticed him for months. Perhaps he changed his username and I didn't notice. He is quite clearly one of the biggest idiots on the board, but it's tough to put him any lower when I just don't even remember anything specific about him right now.

'''239. Biolizard

Kind of reminds me of hippo, just maybe not quite as stupid. He is just pretty obnoxious and in your face a bit too often. Somehow I didn't notice him for a long time, except for random instances of people mentioning he sucks, now that I've seen him, he isn't totally trash tier, but he's not a good user.

'''238. MrLasastryke

I used to like Lasa a lot, he was quiet, but nice. He mostly bumped topics for people, and I know lots of good stuff would have died without him. This year he has come out of his shell more and likes to post in topics giving his opinions and such, and unfortunately, a lot of those posts are mind boggling and stupid to read. Unless he is just trolling or something, but he looks kind of eccentric, so I could see him having these weird and bad opinions.

'''237. LordJimmy

One of those super angry and obnoxious Nintendo fanboys. I think he's a super crazy Queen fanboy, but maybe I'm thinking of someone else. If he is though thats like a double whammy of annoying. Do not like him at all.

'''236. CycloReaper

Cyclo, Cyclo, Cyclo. This one is interesting. #1 annoying thing about Cyclo was the Ryoko-Cyclo account changing though, although I guess that was Ryoko's fault too. Now giving his account to Albion, that was pretty terrible.

Main problem with him though is probably how defensive he constantly is before he is even attacked. See: his post early in this topic. Look at iatg's topic where he rates pictures. Iatg wasn't trolling or anything, merely making a fun topic, and cyclo has to come in and attack iatg's looks. It's like dude, calm the **** down.

I think when he's being normal and just talking he can be an OK guy, but he is just on the attack way too often. He is someone who the ignore button would probably be great for to use on people, might make him a way more positive user.

'''235. Leonhart

Last year I had no real experience with Leonhart except for my Phoenix Wright topic. In that topic I liked him quite a bit. Then I started seeing him more and more in other topics, and I just don't care for him much anymore. A bit too extreme for my tastes in his views on religion and politics, plus he is yet another crazy NINTENDO FANBOY. God why do all those people suck so bad.

'''234. Red13n

As a user, red would probably be way lower. I hate playing with him in mafia, he doesn't talk enough, complains about any post that is decently long (obviously wang posts suck, but man, having a few paragraphs of decent content isn't a big deal), and overall is a bit overrated. And by god, I do not give a **** about his Pokemon fetishes, I think it's stupid as hell. At least he doesn't try and argue that it's genetic LOLOL. But yeah, when I was trying to get neon into mafia a while back, red scared him off with his creepy Pokemon talk. Luckily neon got into board maf.

Anyway, he rises some spots because he isn't a hall monitor type mod like some of these guys. He does his job, but I don't think he gets erotic thrills out of it like a 75% of the mods, so he gets props for that, but as a user? Ew.

'''233. piman

Pman is a weird one. The bonetail incident has been gone over several times, so I won't bother, but thats when it was obvious the kid was an idiot. After the podcast with him, my main opinion on him is that he simply thrives on attention. He wants to be "famous" on the board, and he doesn't care which why. Before he officially became hated, I think he tried hard to be liked, but failed, so he went the other way.

Even then, as a poster himself, he is not THAT bad compared to some. In most cases, he is just plainly very easy to forget. Outside of the fact that I notice he has those annoying opinions all the nerd outcasts in jr high have to be "cool" and "not mainstream". But other than that, it's easy enough to post and never notice the guy.

But then when you factor in how often he marks posts, it's easy to place him in the bottom tier of the list. Which is a shame. I don't understand the point of marking (outside of CWUBLIMG)

As for his performance on the podcast, I enjoyed having him on honestly, near the end it was clear after we laughed at his first speeches that he was just doing it because he wanted attention. Or more likely, he wants us to like him. Poor kid. So conflicted.

'''232. UltraBaller

Just noticed him this week, and he consistently made terrible topics. Like, really bad. So bad I eradicated them all from my memory.

'''231. My Immortal

He seems like he is probably a nice guy, but for me, it seems like he can't take a joke and is really sensitive, which is annoying, never like people like that. I also feel like half the time I only see him in topics involving something about GAY stuff. So too one dimensional for my liking as well.

'''230. Linkthemidgit

Crazy weeaboo, and way too in your face about his opinions. Otherwise he might be OK, but his opinions are also really bad for the most part too. But yeah, a bit too in yo' face for my liking, putting him pretty low.

'''229. Ulti

Outside of KH, probably the most annoying liberal troll on the board. Actually, probably worse because he doesn't even try. He is extremely obnoxious, uneducated, and worthless in political topics. Unfortunately, thats where I see him most. When it comes to wiminz, he is pathetic, and he tries too hard sometimes to act like he is above this place, despite the fact that I think he really misses being a hero on the board of sorts, a legend and a god. I didn't like him back when he was cool, so props to me. When he wants to be he can be a decent guy, but well, thats a pretty rare occurrence these days.

'''228. lihlih

GHOST BOY. lihlih doesn't seem like a mean or angry guy like most of the people this low, he is just... incredibly stupid. Like, beyond belief. If he didn't seem so ridiculously unaware of the world around him, I would say he must have done serious drugs to end up like that, but that can't be the case. I'm just gonna assume whenever he first attempted to end himself, he shot himself in the head... and didn't finish the job. After 6 different brain surgeries, he became a semi-functioning human being, able to post on an internet message board.

I almost feel bad putting him this low, because he seems like he is probably nice, but good god, he is just... so dumb. Go look at the topic where he was all embarrassed about his mom thinking he was looking at porn, when it seemed like she was just joking anyway. Geeez.

'''227. TUM

Ahhh, TUM is an interesting one. I appreciate all the work he did on my wikis for a while, but good god. He is just so ANNOYING.

First off, way too sensitive. Got all cranky because I called him an idiot once. If only he knew what I say about some of my good friends around here! From there, I can't help but be a little weirded out about the whole living with his parents still thing, and being so church crazy.

TUM tries to participate in arguments sometimes, but he is a major pansy about it. He never actually argues, he just says "omfg chrono trigger is terrible", then, he backs up and tries to make sure no one gets offended. Grow a pair.

And then, his AIM habits are terrible. He always IMs me for various reasons, then says "hey can I talk to you". He can never just say what he wants. It's always that, so I can never deem whether it's worth talking to him that day, so now, I just ignore him. And he still IMs me sometimes, take a hint BRO.

'''226. Lolo Guru

Lolo isn't a bad guy, he might not be too smart but he is nice. But good god, I don't understand why he enters so many mafia games. He is such a waste of space in any game I have ever seen him in. Why do people like this insist on continuing to play.

'''225. TheCruelAngel

He is BFFs with palmer, automatic negative points. Also he is one of those super gay guys I never seem to see outside of gay topics, more neg points. But yeah, another one I can't say I saw tons of this year, outside of those kinds of topics.

'''224. starcow

very gay, and annoying. Luckily I have seen him a lot less this year than I did last year, but yeah. Something about 50% of the gay guys on this board irk me, they all seem too one-dimensional on the board. There are some gay dudes that will be higher on the list later on, so trust me, I don't hate them all!

'''223. Pleinair

Pleinair is not someone that bothers me at all, but not someone particularly worthwhile, that about sums it up. I'd say if they really bother you, ertyu and Pleinair are probably the top 2 people that you would ignore. Neither ever posts anything meaningful, and their existences are pretty much confined to their own topics. But Pleinair is a decent bit better than ertyu obv.

'''222. Black Hydras

Another guy that just couldn't get good at mafia, even if his life depended on it. I get the feeling he is pretty smart. Unlike Lolo though, I feel like he gives it a decent effort most of the time.

'''221. swirl

First the positive, he can be a decent guy, he knows his sports and can be decent to chat with about them (although he is also one of those weirdos who I am pretty sure will watch some sort of sport every night, no matter what is on. Seriously, that is weird).

But the fact is, as an AIM mafia player he is completely annoying. He is a good player, but he goes inactive half the time, then doesn't seem to understand why he is getting lynched. He is overly arrogant about his play, getting pissy when I call him out for sucking because of his inactivity. And sometimes he has a bad habit of starting conversations in the chat while a game is in progress which is super annoying.

On the board I barely notice him except for the NCAA contest, which is a good contest, I'm glad he contributes, but he just annoys me too much in AIM mafia to be any higher.

'''220. CasanovaZelos

Hmm, I suppose this means we are starting to reach the zone where people I am indifferent about start coming into play. Cas had some following in UUL this year, but I barely ever saw the guy post. He was in my newbie mafia game, barely posted, got killed or lynched, and thats about all I ever saw of him this year.

'''219. PukeInMyPot

I mostly see him around the e-pop contest stuff. Sometimes I see him around random topics, I feel like he is kind of a tool, like one of those anti-drug elitists, but I'm not sure. All I know is my feeling of zen is a bit cloudy when I think about him.

'''218. Mac Arrowny

I like his username. Other than that, I feel like I've heard he is in the Wikku club of having weird fetishes. "lame". Can't say I've seen him post more than a few times, and nothing too offensive I felt.

'''217. MysteriousStan

I saw this guy in a few mafia games, never stood out to me, then he MYSTERIOUSLY vanished... ha... ha. But yeah, I got nothing.

'''216. Espio

Here is an interesting one! Espio is clearly "not smart". Yet, he seemed nice enough, I liked him a decent amount. But in my OMAD user contest, the dude was just... weird. I listed him purely as espio, and every day, I WANT MY NUMBERS. I can understand Luster getting upset about people calling him Luster Soldier, because I mean come on, thats just messed up to call him that, but wanting NUMBERS? Something that instantly makes your username look WORSE? weird.

'''215. LauraAurora

Some random chick from RI who has posted here a few times, and even IM'd me once. She seemed nice, and despite being from RI, seems like she could fit in here, but rarely chooses to post.

'''214. Dux X

I'm not even sure how he got this "HIGH". He isn't very smart, not a quality user at all. When I did my picture rating topic, I said I thought he looked like he was all about smokin' dat weed. Then like he mentioned to me ten times after that "lol I can't believe you thought I smoked pot". Somehow, that amused me, but yeah, pretty boring to bad user.

'''213. mccheyne

A guy I feel like I only see around e-pop, though he might be hosting some contest of some sort right now. Pretty low key guy, seems nice, but doesn't stand out at all.

'''212. Marvelous Gerbil

Probably the first guy that I know I've seen post but have absolutely nothing to say about. This must be the section of the list where I'm so indifferent to you, that I have no ill will towards you, and thus, you get a slight boost from having a decent username. Yep.

'''211. ff6man

Yesss, more completely indifference. If this was any year but 2009, I feel like ff6man was a moderately popular user, but well, this year I can't say ANYTHING he has done has stuck out, and he ends up here.

'''210. Jukkie

Yeah, this really is the most boring part of my list. I feel Jukkie was starting to gain a bit of a fanbase, maybe with the midnight crew, and I remember thinking he was pretty cool for a while, then he kinda fell off the board.

'''209. TomNook7

Pretty sure he is a slightly annoying Nintendo fan, but he can also be pretty nice. Yet overall, can't say he has stood out much this year. Kinda like ff6man, I feel like he was moderately popular in years past, but this year his appearances are a bit rare.

'''208. Zachnorn

The guy is way too serious, "SERIOUSLY". He is not someone I could ever get along with because of this fact, but hey, I gotta respect how he helped start the wiki up, even if I think he runs it a bit too SERIOUSLY. If he posted more this year, he might be lower, but instead, my main memory of him this year is the wiki, which is a positive thing. Zach was kind of MIA this year which works to his benefit!

'''207. Leet Rappa Sam

Insert some 1337 speak into that username. Did not notice this guy at all until this week. He left enough of an impression on me where I recognized the name enough to put it on the list, but now that his big moment has come, I'm left with nothing to say!

'''206. IhatethisCPU

One of my first B8 friends. In 2009 terms though, not much of a contributor or someone I talked to at all. I feel like he is just a bit weird. Like, he is literally DISGUSTED by LusterSoldier, he finds him disgusting as a human being >_>. He is also a bit too indy obsessed for my tastes in wrestling, and is all "lol you like john cena and jeff hardy" like everyone else. He isn't quite as mean about it, but it gets old and unoriginal. If you don't follow wrestling or UCA, theres a decent chance you went the whole year without seeing this guy.

'''205. GMUN

Oh, how interesting that GMUN just arrived in the topic! As just a user, taking away all I know about him, he is probably OK. I feel like he isn't too angry ever, and while we probably have nothing in common and wouldn't be able to hold a conversation, he seems OK. What brings him down a bit, is obviously the whole Pika thing still, it kinda creeps me out. I will say that he seems to take all the jokes and disturbing old pictures he drew for "her" pretty decently, like he doesn't get angry about it at least. Not a guy I interact with at all, and I probably couldn't be friends with him, and he creeps me out, but despite all that, I don't really dislike him at all. If that all makes sense.

'''204. ShadowHalo

2 things stand out for ShadowHalo for 2009 for me. Outside of 2009, the odd marriage to Zen, but this is the 2009 rankings!

1. He posted pics of lolicon, but only because it's "beautiful[. He literally seems upset by people who use it to get their jollies off. I can't help but feel this is weird. I mean, why else would people draw practically naked pics of little girls >_>. This may sound weird, but I find it almost weirder that he just looks at it and does nothing as opposed to freaks like SovietOmega.

2. He invited himself to the AKJ/Kuge hang out, and then didn't show up. LAME.

I guess it's kind of appropriate that he is so close to GMUN on the rankings, because he is definitely not a guy I would probably be able to be friends with, just because of HUGE differences in personality and... things we like, but I don't think he's too bad of a guy, he seems nice enough anyways.

'''203. Harmonica

Maybe I'm biased because his picture is so pissed off on the b8wiki, but man, this guy just strikes me as kinda angry. I've never truly had a chance to talk to him, but I'm not sure if we get along. However, unlike a lot of the people who I am put off by on the board, he seems pretty smart and his posts are mostly quality enough. Just not someone I think I would personally get along with.

'''202. Not Dave

Apparently the most memorable thing from ND this year was his incident with darkx, which I unfortunately did not see, but did hear about so respect points for that. Other than that I can't say I've seen him around tons this year, so he gets the mostly indifferent slot.

'''201. SuperSaiyanGnome

I only see him around to talk about the White Sox, he is kind of a dick, but he's a white sox fan, what else could you expect? Outside of being a dick, he knows his stuff, and once you get past the dickyness, he can be OK.

'''200. Silverliner
Will always hold the honor of being inferior to Silvercross, and me always thinking of Silvercross whenever I see him. He seems like a nice enough guy, but he just can't get out of Silvercross's shadow in my mind.

'''199. masterofmarth

Was originally going to compliment him a bit in this writeup. He is still not someone I really would care to interact with. But I respect the fact that he seems to be improving on the board. Before he was only in e-pop topics and such, and he didn't seem very smart. Now I see him in lots of different topics, and he seemed OK. I always have respect for improvers!

But then, he posted in this topic twice with the extremely annoying "omgggg I must not be on the list".

A. That is class-A attention whoring. B. As if I'm going to be like "no! Stick around! You're on the list!" or "sorry marth, you aren't on the list". Then I'd have to do that for everyone, then all the scrubs who have no chance would stop posting in this topic, and that would hurt me deeply.

So yeah, marth blows it and ends up 20+ spots lower than he would have been.

'''198. DeathChicken

Not much if any interaction with this guy. He stole my old skool wrestling watching idea, except did it with old school superstars, which is pretty cool. But neon constantly complains about his arguments in the MPFC esque competitions. Firstly, I hate those competitions. Second, I generally find the people who get all intense about those arguments, annoying., So off neon's word of mouth, he ends up lower than he probably would have been lawl.

'''197. charmander6000

Seems like a nice guy, I recognize the user name but no real posts come to mind, so he ends up around the indifference area.

'''196. ChumpMoney

U A CHUMP

no really, I got nothing. Except I swore in the picture rating topic, I rated a ChumpMONKEY, maybe i was imagining things.

'''195. Tirofrog

A rather average AIM and board mafia player. If you don't play mafia, odds are you haven't seen the guy, but he's nice enough.

'''194. BrettEagles

I feel like he may be one of those younger kids in the e-pop click, but I could be wrong. I do know he runs disney contests. And while I find those contests meh, he does appear to run them well, and everytime I get spammed by Blazer to vote in one, his contests seem well done, and he seems pretty nice.

'''193. slacker

The inferior procrastinater, haw haw. Not a guy I've ever interacted with, but I notice his topics and they don't seem too bad. Quite frankly, this board could use more people who like to make topics, we never have nearly enough... not that I'm encouraging you to go Anagram/Albion crazy.

'''192. azazel

I used to talk to az on aim a decent amount, but now he acts weird on there towards me, and we don't talk anymore. He is a bit plain but he can be pretty OK, but if I did a 2008 ranking, this definitely would be a pretty big drop.

'''191. Igloo Bob

It's really weird, I associate him with Smartmuffin for some strange reason, I probably see him in the same political topics sometimes. Like a lot of the people in this zone, someone I've never really interacted with but he seems OK.

'''190. Pokalicious

Hmm, Poka is an alright guy. He is a decent contributor to my anime topics, and he is OK to play AIM mafia with. If it was just that, he would probably be a decent bit higher, but by god. He can just be annoying. Constantly bugging me to update, hell, constantly asking me over AIM if he would be on the list. He doesn't seem capable of having a normal conversation with me, he prefers to just be on his knees begging constantly. Outside of that, he's a-ok!

'''189. RX7Infiniti

I have barely ever noticed this guy since WWYD. Seriously. But by god, I did notice him this past week! He was MAN enough to send that 10 bucks back to AKJ (which is funny, because AKJ probably desperately needs that cash >_>). And I thought that was cool enough to not only put him on the list, but give him a non-humiliating position!

'''188. Kyle Bowen

A guy who has disappeared over the years. I always find topics made purely to be "social", like his bar and lounge, as well as the late night topics to be strange. I feel like it makes for weird conversation, like "well, we are in here... let's be social... yeah... how's uhh life". A lot of people seem to dislike him, but I've never seen him do anything that gave me strong feelings eitherway.

'''187. LavaLord

He is currently hosting that D & D thing I believe. As nerdy as I would feel, I am tempted to try that out next time around. I have no real experience with it, except my friends used to play then invite this super religious guy to "hang out" then he found D & D waiting for him with literally freaked him out. Religious people are sure weird sometimes. Anyway, yet another guy I haven't interacted with who seems OK.

'''186. stripey

Smurf proclaimed him the nicest guy on the board last year. He doesn't post enough to earn that honor imo, he does seem pretty nice though, although he also appears not too smart to me also.

'''185. Iamdead7

I remember back in the day when Abomlcadbrak made a fad off his topics because they were so bad or something. I thought he took it pretty well, which always gave me some respect for him. He still posts random topics, though less frequently, they get like 10 posts max, we all move on.

'''184. Mooglekupo

The dude mostly likes to post smarmy things in everyone's topics. It gets a bit annoying, especially since he isn't particularly clever, but at least he mostly does it in crappy people's topics. Gopic never gets old... OR DOES IT? But really, the guy is a bit strange, I'm not sure if the board will ever know "the real Kupo", but as a user, he's just pretty average for someone who is relatively well known.

'''183. chocoboslayer

PotD guy who only seems to post here for his lotteries and maybe some other random things. Negative points for posting on PotD, but he does seem nice enough. Man I'm tired of saying that, I'm tired of this section of users >_>.

'''182. Meow1000/Blade

On the board, he mostly seems to just be here to play mafia and post about sports. Like swirl, he is another weirdo who seems to watch a sport every night, no matter what is on. Seriously, that is about the weirdest thing anyone can do, up there with lolicon. He is a bit obnoxious when it comes to sports talk, mostly liking to bash teams and players, but he is from NY, so he probably can't help it. As for mafia, there's no denying he is pretty good, but he is WAY too arrogant. Like damn. After the game, as a host or player, he loves to talk about all the brilliant moves he made, and all the terrible moves other people made.

However, in board mafia, he was actually a decent guy to play with. Perhaps because he doesn't have so much confidence. My theory is that, Meow doesn't have much confidence in real life and stuff, so when he becomes knowledgeable or good at something (sports/mafia), he becomes very obnoxious about it because that is all he has got to boost his self-esteem. Pretty negative writeup, he can be OK to actually play with, and he is a good host, but man, so annoying after games are done.

'''181. DaruniatheGoron

Not too active of a guy, I feel like I only see him in baseball topics, in those, he seems OK, but I don't have much more to say.

'''180. Revenus

Lawl, SUCKER. When Silvercross made that post saying they were the same person, it forced me to look for someone I missed, but luckily, I got to keep the list as it originally was. Revenus always seems OK to me, but nothing really sticks out. Probably doesn't help him that I interact with PrinceReva on occasion.

'''179. Heroic Palmer

Palmer likes to talk about the old days, how I ranked him high on some user list, and thats when he started getting recognition on the board and making friends. That was a different Palmer back then though. Back then he was just a nice and fun guy, looking to have a good time. As some of you know, I sometimes leave the board for months at a time (thats why I didn't make Smurf's list last year). Anyway, during one of the times I left, Palmer changed. I'm not sure what it looked like to someone who saw him on the daily basis, but I still can't get over how weird it was to come back and see someone completely different in his place.

Gone was the old Palmer, in was someone who was... whiny and a drama queen. He loves to call people out. All year at the beginning of the year, he just liked to bash me for "changing" because I prefer projects over random posting or something (in reality I just don't care to interact with him much >_>). He called out rusty for "not being real", he preferred him when he was annoying because he was "real". Like wtf. He is getting on someone for NOT BEING ANNOYING ENOUGH ANYMORE? So damn weird, I don't understand him anymore.

Now he has taken to pot. I've seen lots of people's personalities get instantly improved by pot IRL. But unfortunately, Palmer is neither funny, witty or more chill when high. He just becomes braindead.

He is mostly this high because I enjoy making fun of him and he takes THAT reasonably well without being a bitch at least, but by god. What happened to the old Palmer.

'''178. transience

It's interesting that tranny comes right after someone who complains about people not being "real". Thats actually always been my main problem with him. Perhaps it's because the CLICK always took so much abuse from a bunch of people, but tranny never seems that authentic to me. He always tries too hard from my perspective, to try and act like he is indifferent to everything. It gets a bit annoying. Despite always talking about video games, and giving his opinions on them constantly, he always seems to shy away from getting into actual debates about them, probably because he doesn't want to seem like he cares enough.

I've always lost a lot of respect for him when back in 2007 I saw him trash talking me on trans world. Now, they all talk on Mirc all day so OUTSIDERS can't see what they talk about, but it was pretty annoying to see someone who pretends like they don't give a fuck do that. They compared me to either vlado or smurf, which is equally offensive >_>.

He ends up at a not too low position though because he can be a chill and cool guy who knows what he is talking about when it comes to them video gamez. I just wish he was more REAL. God damn I'm turning into palmer.

'''177. NoDiceCurt

Curt always seems like he could be a pretty popular and cool guy. In the soccer topic, outside of being one of those annoying Liverpool bandwagoners (don't give me that "oh I was just following torres" crap, thats the excuse every bandwagon soccer fan uses to justify cheering for the best teams. Of course the best players will end up on a top 4 team when there is no salary cap).

Rant over, anyway, Curt can be an OK guy, but he just spends too much time being a douche to be that cool guy. He seems to have chillaxed a bit this year, but not enough to make it any higher. My feeling that he has cooled down may be because he just doesn't post as much this year, in that situation, he benefited from the same reasons Zach did, so props I suppose.

'''176. red sox 777

As the username implies, he mostly seems to post around here to talk about the red sox/Boston sports. Most of those kinds of people are obnoxious, but red sox isn't too bad. I think it's because he doesn't spend so much time with the IN YOUR FACE comments, as he does just chilling and talking. He gets in the face of people like MWC, but thats a-ok. So basically, surprisingly high for someone who mostly comes here to talk about boston sports.

'''175. ScorpioVS

I have two main memories from Scorpio this year. First was his awesome CYOA. I almost never follow CYOAs, it's not my thing, but this one was very fun and enjoyable to follow. Probably one of the top projects on the board this year. The second memory was that strange time when he kept insisting that Ryoko wasn't a girl, then Ryoko obviously proved him wrong... then he started following her around for a bit wanting to be friends or something <_<. That was weird but he seems pretty cool otherwise, I'd like to see more MURDER.

'''174. ScorpionX3

lol at how close he is to Scorpio. Scorpion is a quiet but pretty OK guy. I like playing mafia with him, otherwise, don't see him much.

'''173. Shaduln

Shad seems like a really funny and cool guy whenever I see him post. If he wanted to he could be a B8 SUPERSTAR. But the guy disappears for months at at a time. I haven't seen him most of the year, so he ends up pretty low.

'''172. BlindAzatoth

A guy who seems to contribute to the board pretty well, but I don't participate in his projects, so I have little to say, except I like board contributors! As Ed Bellis says, only YOU have the power to prevent the board from sucking (paraphrased).

'''171. lol internet

lol internet is just strange. His gimmick is obviously posting how his incredibly slow progress with women, and I guess he searches here for moral support. I don't think he'll ever succeed with women at this point in his life because he thinks about it too much and tries too hard. You just gotta let it happen, not plan everything out in advance, that can screw your ability to improvise. But anyway. at first, I admit, it was kinda fun to laugh at him in those topics, then it got a bit annoying, now I feel like I haven't seen him in a while. Don't dislike the guy, but I'd like to see more diversity, and maybe a bit more confidence once in a while.

'''170. dowolf

I only see him in mafia. I think he does mercs, but my impressions are all from mafia. I felt like he was a big arrogant when I first played with him, but I think thats just because he gets way too confident when he is town. He seems like an OK guy, half decent mafia player, but not someone I'd probably ever talk to much.

'''169. MSS/Eat Honker Burger

Has a memorable and noticeable sig, has a noticeable and memorable username now, yet as a poster... not that memorable.

'''168. Yesmar

I always confuse him with Yonex. Yesmar is a pretty low key guy, don't see him around much. Yeah this section of the list is pretty painful!

'''167. Grand Kirby

Same thing as everyone else. Gawd this part of the list sucks.

'''166. Tasilon

Will probably never escape the LUEshi sculpting thing. But it doesn't help that when he posts, it always seems to be one sentence, and then he posts in some anime topics or something. A pretty cool guy who refuses to do anything memorable anymore!

'''165. rammtay

I always mix him up with tazzy. Rammtay seems like a nice guy, decently fun, a bit too much of a suck up for my tastes (see: this topic), but oh well. Decent enough guy.

'''164. Caelus

Another guy who is pretty cool who never seems to do anything too memorable.

'''163. Sytha

I think Sytha used to be a bigger name on the board, but he is pretty low key these days. He follows my YGO/Pokemon topic, we have some good talks about that on occasion. He is a decent enough mafia player, but other than that I barely see the guy.

'''162. RevolverSaro

One of those guys in the SantaRPG vein (oh god spoilers for the list kind of), he posts a pretty good amount, but by god if I can remember next to nothing about his personality... except I'm pretty sure he doesn't suck...I hope.

'''161. tazzy

Kinda like rammtay, nice guy. Seems to have a bit more of a following on the board, but maybe too much of a nice guy/suck up for my tastes. Go bash some people then I will rank you higher... go on, do it... right now.

'''160. Brian Sulpher

Brian is a mod, which usually is automatic NEGATIVE POINTS, but I only ever see him really post in my YGO/Pokemon topics on occasion, and he seems like one of the nicest guys you could ever meet. I think it'd be cool if he posted around a bit more, but I guess that just isn't his style.

'''159. Random Guy

Basically... a random guy. I notice him in mafia, and I believe in one of my anime topics. He is a nice guy and I like playing mafia with him, even if he isn't that active. Other than that, not much to say except I get positive zen when I see his username, so he must be OK.

'''158. Master Moltar

Mostly a stat nerd dude, so normally he wouldn't even be this high, but he is also a wrestling fan, he doesn't get too angry like a lot of those guys, and seems like a nice dude overall, so he gets a more decent spot on the list

'''157. SensiShadeSlaye

Shade/Midget Fetish was a pretty cool up and coming user for a while, I started liking him more as I started playing AIM mafia with him, but now the guy has kinda disappeared for whatever reason. He was pretty laid back, it's a shame he has been gone.

'''156. BIGPUN

BIGPUN is interesting. He can be cool it seems, but overall he strikes me as kind of... unintelligent. When I mentioned texting GamerPanda to get Dante's number, he goes "omg u hav GP's number?", ... no I don't BIGPUN, not at all. But anyway, me and this guy are way different in everything, especially gaming tastes. I love to play FPS/WRPGs/innovative Arcade games, basically all the newest and coolest stuff. He loves to play every fighting game imaginable, and all the old skool XBLA games. Also, neon claims that PUN kinda sucks to play with online, neon's judgment is perfection, so thats more negative points, but hey, unlike a lot of the guys in the "indifference" section, I actually have something to say about him. That has to count for something!

'''155. ScareChan

Early in the year I liked Scare a lot. He was pretty cool to play mafia with, and I think he is a wrestling fan so we had some cool conversations about that. Then he kinda changed as the year went on and got really angry and elitist in mafia. He really pissed me off during newbie mafia honestly. I'm not sure what happened to him, but his change made him drop a bit on my list.

'''154. Digi

I noticed Digi a pretty good amount earlier in the year. He was a fun guy, pretty nice, and was starting to get more and more popular... then he kind of fell off the board for whatever reason, which is a shame!

'''153. TeamRocketElite

A MOD. This usually equals negative points. I can never tell just how strict TRE is as a mod. For example, he was the one who said that it might be a bad idea to say "pman" while all the "peeman" stuff was getting moderated. He never explicitly stated that HE would mod "pman, so I'd be interested to know that. Whether I did know could affect his placement!

But in the end, even if he would mod pman, he's a very nice guy, he is always willing to answer questions, which is great. And he even asked for opinions from the board on some issue with social boards, so that was cool. Seems like a nice guy, but in the end he doesn't post tons... and he still is THE ENEMY, no matter how nice he is.

'''152. DSRage

DSRage is just strange. He got bashed for being an attention whore/e-pop whore, then he umm took on some new persona, and just acts weird now. He kind of attention whores sometimes, mainly with the whole OMG ME AND LISEL BFF thing, but he isn't too bad to interact with on AIM, it's just funny how many times he has changed over the years.

Hmm, seems like we are starting to shift our way into more interesting people.

'''151. paperwarior

The #1 memory I have of him this year was in my picture rating topic. This guy seriously looks scrawnier than Dante. When I think of paper, I just think of all the ways I could beat him up >_>. As for his posting, he never goes for much spotlight, I notice him interjecting his thoughts in various topics, he seems smart and nice, nothing to dislike about the guy at all, but nothing terribly memorable that I saw this year.

'''150. Colonel Alloy
A guy I mostly see playing mafia, though I'm pretty sure he is involved with other stuff. A nice guy, though not terribly active in mafia. I don't mind playing with him at all.

'''149. Weakupedia (Rikku Almighty)

Clever username, I don't notice him as much as I did in the past. He never bothered me, in fact, he can be kind of entertaining in his weirdness, but I do feel like he is a bit of an attention whore. Not someone I'd probably want to talk to on a one on one basis with how different we are, but yeah, he can be interesting.

'''148. ZaziGuado

ZA ZA ZA. Sorry. Zazi is a chill guy I see around on occasion, quite likeable, but I can't say I've ever talked to him much, he's stiill a-ok in my book though.

'''147. idyvino

Perhaps it's controversial to have him this high, but he was always a pretty nice guy to me. Obviously he wasn't very smart, but well, that was probably more from not having english as his 1st language. He got laughed at a lot, but I thought he was OK. I feel like he may have gotten angry over something or another sometime during the year, but I don't remember the specific instance, so maybe I'm imagining things.

'''146. ctes

Another nice guy who doesn't have english as his first language. Makes some of his conversations awkward, but he's an alright guy who keeps me going on some of my projects. And, it was funny when he went up against neon in some UUL event. I think that was when a lot of people first learned of his existence and they were like "...wtf?"

'''145. Apollo Phoenix

A guy I have conversed with a decent amount of times in my projects, most notably the Phoenix Wright one I did, as well as YGO/Pokemon. Obviously he is a huge PW superfan, but he isn't too annoying about it like guys like Leonhart. He's just a real nice dude,and I'm always glad to see him posting in my projects with whatever he has to say.

'''144. ESY

ESY and me will always have a bit of a connection since he took over, perhaps my biggest project ever, and one of the biggest in board history, the STD topics. I've noticed him coming out of his shell a bit more lately and posting more, which is cool, but I can't say he did anything too major this year even so. Still a very likeable guy though.

'''143. DPOblivion

DP always seems like a pretty chill guy, cool enough. He is always decently popular for a reason. This year he really disappeared though. I notice him in football topics, he does some weekly power rankings, but other than that, until this topic, I really hadn't seen him much. We have almost never interacted ever, so even if he did post more, I'm not sure if he'd be any higher than this, but he is a cool enough guy.

'''142. meisnewbie

Ahh, here's an interesting one. newbie is a pretty smart guy, not as witty as he probably thinks he is but OH WELL. Part of the visual novel clique (goodbye brain cells). He seems to just post in a lot of the kind of projects I dislike (MPFC, Visual Novels), so naturally we don't interact much. My main interaction with him this year was like, Seg's top users or something. He called newbie the smartest guy on the board and wondered why he posted here. I don't see him as THAT smart, so I decided to be a dick and be like "lol no". 5 minutes later I get IMs from newbie asking for where/what I've seen him post. I laughed at that and basically said, no idea. I mean, how am I supposed to list this stuff off the top of my head? I know I've seen him post, but I don't track where and what. Then I laughed at him for caring what I thought, he somehow claimed he didn't despite iming me immediately after my statement, and called me stupid or something. So overall, he's pretty lame, but hey, he is a decent quality poster, and when you look at some of the guys at the bottom, having someone who isn't an idiot and who has unique tastes in stuff is probably a positive asset for the board. So basically, while I personally think he's a bit weird and perhaps sad, there's no denying he is good for the board, and I like whats good for the board, where a lot of the people who were lame below him, were lame PLUS not good for the board. Got it? Good.

'''141. TheRock

Spent most of the year being a douche about the Lions for no real reason, and crying about his uncle. This stuff earned him LOSER OF THE WEEK honors in the podcast. However, unlike a lot of people on the board might, he didn't take my constant bashing of him personally. He actually IM'd me and essentially said he knows he is a dickwad. So that was pretty cool, now we talk on occasion, and since then I feel like he has chilled out on the board, while he may not always be the smartest guy, he is pretty cool/chill and I'm fine with him now, not a bad member of the board at all, now that he seems to be over the whole "being a dick" and the whole uncle thing.

'''140. Destoyer

I admit, half the reason he is this high is because he has a top tier username. Just say it out loud. DESTOOOYER. Isn't the lack of r there so REFESHING? Hellz yeah it is. As a user, I don't notice destoyer much, but he usually seems to be pretty amusing and never too serious, and I'm always cool with that.

'''139. Ry Senkari

He seems like the kind of guy who might be in mercs, but overall I only really notice his contests, best voice ever I think is the current one. He seems like a really relaxed guy who just enjoys running these contests, now several of them get run and I think overall they are interesting contests that are positive contributions to the board. I usually enjoy following them and voting on occasion, so props to you Ry! Seems to overall keep to himself from a social standpoint, but he also seems incredibly nice, and not a guy I would mind talking to.

'''138. FAHTastic

I think in the OLDEN DAYS FAH posted a lot more than he does today. Thats how I feel anyway, I can't verify this. FAH is a witty and fun poster, my main memories of him were from UCA this year, where he had a winning battle royale gimmick. But seriously, I see him post here and there, I like what I see usually, I feel like he used to be pretty popular, I wonder why he doesn't post as much as he used to? Oh well, still pretty quality guy.

'''137. GamerPanda

I have quite a bit to say about GamerPanda, for someone who didn't post here all year.

FIRST OFF, this break up with Josh is complete and utter BS. She still hangs out with Josh, gives him blue balls, all because she has these selfish "problems". Give me a fucking break. I can't believe how delusional Josh is. He says himself she has problems trusting people (which is ridiculous if she can't trust josh after forever), yet she claims the break up has been because of problems in her life. We all got problems bitch! I fail to see how breaking up with Josh somehow helps her deal with those problems. Like at all. Maybe if the problem were with the relationship themself, OK, but they clearly aren't. And then she is leading him on, saying when they will "get back together". 95% she puts it off when they come to that day. Quite frankly, I just get a big time vibe she is hiding something. Perhaps not another guy, but I do think she is using this time to figure out if she wants to be with AKJ forever, not to "deal with problems". BS BS BS. I hope Josh realizes this before it's toooo laaaaaaate. Noooooooo.

Secondly, she texted me Dante's number last week when I needed it, while she was in a concert, apparently it was hard to text it because she kept having to go back and forth, so that was nice of her. And she always did some like a fun person. So, despite the fact that she is a cold hard bitch, these 2 things made me put her in decent tier... sorry josh!

'''136. agesboy

This guy is clearly, without a doubt, 100% weeaboo. No question about it, but somehow, he manages to be pretty cool. A lot of weeaboos are used to being picked on so they get really hostile when their subject matter is attacked, but to him, he just seems really nice and chill about it all, he loves japanese stuff, but I don't think he's about to bash western RPGs and all western TV shows and call them awful, or anything like that. Since I do enjoy some anime myself, I feel like it's weird that I haven't interacted with him on some occasion, but I get the vibe he is more into the WAY WAY japanese stuff (like Ouran and stuff probably), while I am more into the anime that... would have potential to translate decently to American audiences, I suppose. Well, that may be wrong. I'm not sure if Planates or Monte Cristo would, but erm, anyway, yeah he's pretty cool for someone pretty different from me.

'''135. Lucid Faia

Lucid is less and less active these days. Pretty smart dude, most people know him as the "super gamer", though frankly, if he is really that good at gaming, I have to wonder why he doesn't spend more time on games that could actually make him cash instead of having records on these lame small sites. If he played shooters, or some strategy games he could make actual money, I wonder what stops him from that? Unless maybe HE'S NOT THAT GOOD AFTER ALL HAW HAW SUCK IT LUCID. But really, a bit obnoxious when it comes to sports, but other than that I generally find him to be a worthwhile poster.

'''134. WhakkoJakko

One of the weirdest usernames on the board. This dude is basically mer lite, it'd be pretty hard for someone so similar to mer to get out of his shadow, but hey, I notice him at least. He's all into pop music and stuff, which I'm sure pisses off some metalhead somewhere, but he's a good guy and I'm glad to see some different tastes around here rather than the board norm.

'''133. Paratroopa

Smurf loves to hate on this guy, but then again Smurf is a weirdo Guitar Hero blowhard. Anyway, Para used to annoy me a lot when he was a way bigger Nintendo fanboy, how he cooled off on that a bit... then he did because a bit too one-dimensional with the whole rhythm game thing. Now he seems to post less, I mostly see him post about sports of all things. While I don't think he knows his sports that well, he isn't too annoying like a lot of those guys and is a solid board poster.

'''132. Yonex

Didn't I already do him? Oh yeah that was Yesmar. Anyway, Yonex is Ayv's brother, it's hard for me to remember too much about him past that except for the fact that he is a pretty nice guy and I think he contributes with projects and stuff. My best memory from him this year though, was when he and Ayvuir submitted their picks for the 2008 boardys at the exact same time via e-mail. It was kind of hilarious to think of two guys discussing their picks for the best of the board, and then e-mailing me >_>. They admitted as much later on, but good times.

'''131. Luis Sera

Yet another mafia player who gets a lot of respect, but who is way too quiet for my liking, but not quite as bad as some others. Outside of mafia, he seems to be a pretty grounded and nice guy. Fodder contest is an enjoyable idea (although a bit pointless now that the fodder loves to make their own e-pop contests and vote for each other). Seems pretty smart, probably wouldn't be a bad guy to get to know a bit better.

'''130. SantaRPG

Just thinking about doing this guys writeup frustrates me. He is one of the newcomers this year, unless he is an alt. I see his posts often. I feel like generally I either like them or feel indifferent towards them. Which means I don't generally think he is a stupid poster. Yet I CANNOT REMEMBER ANYTHING about him. I have no idea about his personality, his tastes in games, nothing! I know he seems to associate with Palmer a bit... but those are just rumors! I mean, I have no idea what to think of this guy. In fact, right now, I'm just gonna make a topic asking him about himself, brb. I have a feeling he could be pretty cool, we shall see!

'''129. supdawg

SUP DAWG. Awesome username. And his username pretty much sums up what he is like, he is just laid back, and wants to chill with his dawgs, basically. This is respectable. He doesn't seem to like posting that often, but I generally enjoy his posts. He talks about MMA on occasion, but apparently he doesn't watch much lately, which is a shame, the MMA community could always use more people. But yeah, very chill and cool guy, nothing to dislike at all, except I think he should post more.

'''128. spiegel

Aww yeah spiegel. Very underappreciated user, though it doesn't help that I don't see him so much anymore. Spiegel used to roll with the wrestling crew more, and he was one of my favorite guys in the wrestling crew for sure. He also was in UCA, and cut some fun heel promos. It's a shame I don't see him much anymore, because if so, he could be way higher.

Also, check out this pic of him.

http://board8.wikia.com/wiki/File:Spiegel22pewpew.jpg

"neato".

'''127. Giggs

For some reason, I'll always associate Giggs as one of the few people who knew about Luster Exposed before it happened. As for this year, he was a pretty friendly guy as always. He mostly seems to like to talk about music, and uhh, goes a bit too in detail on it for me to like reading it >_>. He generally seems like a fun and slightly goofy guy (he posted a crazy pic in the pic rating topic, just for a better reaction, props for that). I'm not a fan of his music taste, but thats probably the main negative. Steiner gives him mad props, and I trust Steiner's judgment!

'''126. Delseban

I disliked Dels earlier in the year because he is very frustrating to play mafia with. He doesn't talk much if ever, then likes to brag about how unreadable he is, give me a break. But then, I ended up talking to him on AIM a bit for WWE mafia, which unfortunately never came to fruition, but anyway, I quickly discovered that outside of THE GAME, he is probably one of the nicest guys on the board I've ever met. We also talked a few times, mostly about OMAD, throughout the year, and my first impression continued. I think he prefers CE or PotD or something, but I think it'd be cool if he posted here more often outside of mafia... and in mafia for that matter <_<.

'''125. KBM

Another guy I mostly know from mafia. Pretty average player, but he tries to keep active, which I respect. I talked to him on AIM a few times as well this year, because he was gonna make a song for the podcast intro. He got busy and never did it (LAME), but I enjoyed our talks, and like dels, he seems like a really nice guy. I think I see him posting with the VG music crew, which I don't hang around, so I don't see him much, but he's a pretty good guy.

'''124. Janus

Despite interacting with him quite a bit over the years, mostly when I was more into rhythm games, never been very close with the guy. I recognize him as a pretty good poster, who is a solid addition to the board. I'd say I enjoy most of his posts, he can be pretty funny as well as smart/knowledgeable, but just not a guy I'd ever really be BFF with. Oh, and his pic on the wiki is funny >_>.

'''123. Maniac64

Very cool member of the wrestling community when he decides to post. He is yet another that isn't all about bashing, and seems to be, by god, an actual FAN of wrestling. Wow! Not bitching constantly automatically makes him a winner in my book, but I like him as a person too! A bit low-key but not a bad user at all. I wouldn't mind seeing him more. I think he might participate in my OP/Naruto topic... but I'm unsure on that one.

'''122. Celtic Guardian

Never seen this guy post outside of my YGO/Pokemon topic, which would make sense based on the username >_>. He used to participate more earlier in the year, and always had some of the better comments. Unfortunately he seems to have disappeared, which is probably my fault for not updating more. Probably a name a lot of people won't recognize, but pretty cool.

'''121. Some Character

Probably gets some credit for this moving pretty fast, with his whole "at 170 it will stop and we will bump it endlessly". I'm tired of people acting like I never finish projects! I do finish quite a few! I mean, I finished a top 100 songs project earlier in the year, I invented and ran UCA for a while. While I may not update daily, both my anime topics have been successful for over a year! And I've done a pretty good job with the podcast! Thats impressive DAMN IT. Yeah, I didn't finish the pic rating topic, but are you aware of how many pics there were? I did like 150+ writeups I'd say, and it was a lot of work, cut me some slack!

Erm... anyway. S_C is a guy I don't see post much outside of my writeups.. and my user ranking topics, because the bastard knows he will probably actually get mentioned. He's a kind of weird but funny guy, we don't talk as much as we used to, but I usually enjoyed our talks on my projects. Not sure why he isn't so active in them anymore, slacker, WHO IS HE TO SAY I WON'T FINISH ARGH.

'''120. PrinceReva

Looks like I stuck all the anime project people in one spot. Another guy who follows my projects, urges me to update at times. I talked to him in the mafia chat room a few times earlier this year, and he's pretty cool. A guy I wouldn't be opposed to talking to more! I say that about a lot of people, why am I so positive.

'''119. WarningCrazy

Ahhh WARNINGCRAZY MY FRIEND. Earlier in the year, WC could have been like, top 50 material. Really fun guy to play mafia with and talk to. Also, his crossdressing antics were amusing. Fun to play maf with + crossdresser usually equals WINNER. But then a few months ago he changed. He started making topics about CNN, whining about them being biased, while not really citing examples. He became so sad he started taking advice from GuiGui on what news to check out.

Then the whole CSPAN fiasco, where he just had to mention that he was watching the vote for health care on CSPAN of all places, give me a break. And now he goes to al jazeera and stuff, and is most likely proud of his indie cred.

I think he has just become a bit whiny in general now. His only contributions to this project were saying about how he wanted to complain about my apparent gay hatred, and then complaining about the newbie writeup. He is a complainer now constantly. Argh. I miss the old WC.

'''118. CrimsonOcean

An interesting user. Usually, if you are a legit girl, you cannot be shy to post on this message board. When you are surrounded by all these pervs that talk to you just because you are a girl, because they are creepy, you need to be strong. Crim doesn't quite seem as comfortable with that as the Ryokos and ngirls and gotsportks of the world, yet she still manages to post here, which is interesting. I think she is a quality poster though,she likes detroit sports, which is a good quality to have. She is always a pretty fun person, I used to talk to her a bit, but not so much this year, which is why she is a bit low.

'''117. Commodore

Comm is an interesting fellow. I notice him in the drinking buddies topics, so he clearly has a pretty good social life. Thats probably why he seems so... normal compared to a lot of people on the board. He seems to enjoy music a lot, he has a top 100 songs topic that was a bit more mainstream than most you would find, so I enjoyed lurking in it. He is also in the song of the week club. But overall, as I said earlier, he just seems very normal and chill, and I always like that in a user.

'''116. CoolCly

MARATHON DAY. One of the current main posters in my one piece/naruto topic. I think he's a fun guy in there. While it's clear he wants me to update more, he doesn't complain as much as other people. I feel like in the past I saw him post in more topics, but, I don't really notice him as much these days. But yeah, very fun poster in my projects, which is good enough for a half decent spot on my list.

'''115. Blairville

The guy who bumps my anime topics. thanks bro.

ok he posts in them as well, and I enjoy his posts!

'''114. Da J

Da J is an amusing fellow. Firstly, he is one of the main contributors in my YGO/Pokemon topic. Which is enough to get an OK rank, but the funny thing about Da J is his sig. He advertises in his sig that if you apply you can make it in. Every few months he will FINALLY let someone "go for the ride". Where he challenges them and asks them tons of questions to deem whether they are worthy or not. But then, he goes so slow, it's obvious he is never going to get through everyone. So they play his sick games for nothing! What an evil genius/bastard! I love it!

ps whens my turn to GO FOR THE RIDE?

'''113. Bballman

Another guy who has been around for a while who Ive never interacted with much. Bball used to post a lot more and host way more contests, but he got a bit inactive this year. Always a nice guy, and a solid contributor to the board. My two main memories of him this year are his NFL ladder contest, which is pretty cool, and his pic in the pic rating topic, where he had a smoking girl with him, "teehee".

'''112. Menji

Unfortunately Menji will never escape this moment for me.

me (iming alex shelley for the first time): is this... alex shelley, THE Alex Shelley Alex: No... this is menji. me: Huh? Really? Alex: No, it's alex. I was just trying to think of someone who you would be really disappointed to actually IM.

classic. But hey, to his credit, Menji was pretty interesting this year. He became the first entertaining troll in a while when he was doing well in the contest, it was fun to see him piss people off. If he had Link winning it all, it would have been even better. lol snake. Eitherway, he created some CONTROVERSY during contest season, which is a plus.

Then when contest season ended he went back to his old self, maybe a bit more active than I remember. He has been really chill and cool, I've enjoyed having him around. Solid poster.

'''111. Cokes

Cokes is probably one of the more annoying indie music people on the board, just seems a bit stuck up when it comes to his SUPERIOR music tastes.

Outside of music, he is pretty chill and cool guy. Can post about a lot of different subjects, can be funny, intelligent, well rounded individual, I just don't care for him in music topics.

'''110. Smartmuffin

One of the most difficult people to place for sure.

Let's start with perhaps the most "famous" aspect of him, his political views. Quite frankly, the guy makes a fool of himself, often, especially when he talks about stuff he has no clue about. Like seriously, does he realize how stupid he looks when he talks about global warming as a conspiracy, and acts like global warming only = world catastrophe? Or how he can't watch Family Guy because it pushes a liberal agenda? It's one thing if he was a troll, but by god, he is actually serious, which is fucking weird. Give me a break. That reminds me of another big flaw in his arguing style. He thrives on tactics, funny enough used by LIBERAL AGENDA PUSHING Daily Show. He likes to take a bit of what you say, take it out of context, and blow it out of proportion, and over-exaggerate it. He can be frustrating to argue with because I feel like he is constantly arguing with statements I didn't say.

And yet, honestly, at times I think his viewpoint is valuable and needed. When he isn't being crazy extreme, and more just a normal conservative, he can actually make a lot of sense. And when you have tons of cool super liberal kids saying a whole bunch of shit that they just repeat from their teachers or MSNBC, it's nice to see him in those situations. Unless he gets just as extreme back, then it sucks. Overall though, I'd say he is intelligent, and can offer a solid debate at times, but then, sometimes he is just misguided and almost brainwashed or something.

As for wrestling, I think funny enough, he makes me more mad there then he ever could in political discussion. I have no fucking clue why this guy watches wrestling. All he cares about when judging people is mic skills. I love guys with charisma (doesn't necessarily mean they cut a perfect promo) who can wrestle. I love WRESTLING. Muffin, not so much. He loves terrible angles like stevie-abyss, and will shit on anyone that can't cut a great promo, no matter how good they are in ring. It really annoys me. He actually thinks TNA > WWE, which is so ridiculously laughable. Then he acts like I have bad opinions. I find him to be very disrespectful in wrestling conversations too, he isn't as bad as Extha with the whole "your opinion means nothing because you haven't been watching your whole life", but he can get close.

When it comes to just discussing TNA though, he is a fun guy to chat with. A bit too eager to take pot shots at WWE stuff subtly, but not too bad overall.

I find him to be pretty funny once in a while, if anything with just his self-depreciation. I think he makes the board more interesting, and he is one of my top 5 favorite people to make fun of, and he's not sensitive at all which is nice.

How to compare Muffin then. In the end, he's like Little Caesars Pizza. You're either going to get one awful fucking pizza, or the best damn $5 ever spent. Well, erm, a "decent" 5 dollars anyway >_>.

oh and he cybers with underage girls LOL

'''109. foolmoron

fool is one of the coolest people in the AIM mafia group. He doesn't take it too seriously like blade and shit. He just is miller chill, has a good time, I like talking to him.

Lately I notice him more and more on the board though, and man, he has a lot of terrible opinions and posts, that brings him down a bit, but I still like him, so he gets a non embarrassing spot.

'''108. SpikeDragon

Me and Spike have quite a history. I used to bash him constantly for sucking, and he ended up being one of those success stories where he ended up turning into a cool guy from it all (take note gotspork).

Spike has always been nice, but he was just so one-dimensional and obsessed, it was tough to like him. But hey, he was young. He turned his act around a year or 2 ago, and became a cool guy who was into more than just e-pop. He is always very busy with school (lol asian parents), but whenever he is on AIM he is a good guy to talk to about life and stuff. He has no delusions about himself or his personality, he knows who he is, he doesn't think he is any smarter than he actually is, just a nice likable guy. I wonder why he hasn't been around so much lately.

'''107. newusrname

nun (or nug) is a pretty low-key guy. Not many people on the board know him, he lacks charisma (which in Chronic fashion, he points out constantly >_>). He's a fun guy in AIM mafia. For actual conversation, one of the most knowledgeable MMA guys on the board, outside of his constant strange belief that Silva will lose to whoever he happens to be facing next. He is never on for the live chats though, lameass. I don't see him contribute tons to the board outside of UFC talk honestly.

We talk on AIM here and there, usually decent conversations. Solid user.

'''106. Lightning Strikes

An interesting guy. The only person in my OP/Naruto topic series who HATES One Piece. It's kind of strange, but can be hilarious at times. Especially when I suggest that maybe I should ditch the topic to Marathon One Piece. I do think he brings a lot of discussion and diversity to the topic series though, which would be severely lacking if he wasn't around.

Outside of the topic, I see him once in a while. Decent poster, probably wouldn't be this high in most people's list but I like him well enough.

'''105. Haguile

Top 3 poster in my anime topics for sure. Very knowledgeable guy, always has something interesting to say, and always very nice to me when I update (aka not bitching when I don't update >_>). He seems to know a lot about all the series, and he just brings a lot to the topics. I think he exclusively posts in my anime topics... which amuses me that people like that exist. I also like that he is a pretty positive guy. He doesn't bash any series, I haven't seen him bash dubs like a lot of these people, he just enjoys them, I respect this.

'''104. sbp

The joaquin Phoenix of B8. Threw away all the fame, cash and women to grow out a ridiculous beard and pretend he is on drugs 95% of the time. I think he is pretty funny, though not as funny as the things I hear about AMAZING TELE... *gets hit by a western lariat*.

ANYWAY, he is one of the most entertaining characters in UCA for sure. I always enjoyed his gimmicks. He never gets too serious although sometimes he manages to make points in debates... while being as non-confrontational as possible. Which is more his posting style honestly.

I think his strange posting style is weird, but it's readable, different, and sometimes enjoyable. Solid poster, but I can't help but want to see what this Amazing Telephone guy was like. But sbp is too much like John Cena. He isn't going to go back to an old gimmick after he completely ditched it, it would be a bit random.

'''103. fr0g

Literally never interacted with him or even participated in any of his topics, but whenever he makes a drawing topic, it is seriously quality stuff, I admire his work and he makes some of the most fun topics on the board. Very entertaining guy. Even though I barely know the guy, I gotta give him a decent spot.

'''102. Shake

Shake's a weird guy, can never quite get a handle on him. When I was into boxing for like 4-6 months he was a big help, but other than that we have never interacted. He can be funny, can be serious, he can also be angry, you never know what to expect! Although personally, I thought he was a bit more laid back this year that usual, so that was nice to see. I'd say that I generally enjoyed his posts, and he obviously generally has some good insight into lots of topics, so he is a quality poster who gets a decent spot.

'''101. Nevest

Mostly I see him with the XBOX CREW AWW YEAH. He seems to be the other guy, who, like MSG, buys every game when it comes out. Argh where do you get that $$$. He doesn't have tons of charisma, but he's a nice guy, pretty fun. I mostly played with him back when all of us were playing 1 vs. 100, and we all had a good time I'd say! Solid poster, but more someone you like if you are into Xbox Live.

'''100. SBell0105
Ever since I returned to the board, Sbell was a pretty popular user, yet I had no idea who he was. I mostly saw him in the UUL topics, he seemed to have kind of taken over the Shattered Elysium role of helping out with things. I was a bit annoyed with him earlier in the year, because I'm pretty sure he was the one who tattled to yazzy about me "rallying". I mean, seriously dude. I never talk to you, you really think I would just IM you asking for votes? Pure laziness all around from the UUL guys in that incident.

Anyway, as the offseason arrived, I finally started to notice this guy's posts a little more, which is often the case in the offseason.I didn't realize he was into drinking and CHILLIN' and stuff. iatg likes to pick on him, not really sure why, but unlike Cyclo, Sbell doesn't really become a giant baby and cry about it. He barely retaliates from what I've seen, which I think caused iatg to lay off (take note: Cyclo). I like that about him, he isn't very confrontational, he manages to stay out of drama even when he has a chance to get into it.

Lately he likes to seem to post about j-pop or something. Not my thing, but his topics seem pretty popular. Overall, I've grown to like him a bit more over the year even though we haven't directly interactedtons, he contributes to the board in various ways, and is a pretty good user.

'''99. Bokonon Lives

Randomly re-appeared in the last few days, but hey, I remember him! Kind of like Sbell for me, except even longer term. Knew of the guy without really knowing anything about him for a long time, but finally this year, we managed to interact a bit. I believe it started with the pic rating topic, I talked to him a bit after I talked about his pic, and I immediately liked him. He's a very nice guy, you might expect someone who based their name off Cat's Cradle to be some wannabe intellectual who is extremely smarmy, but Bokonon is really surprisingly nice.

He is a contributor to the board on occasion, I believe he hosts Best Attack Ever, and I feel like I've seen him doing some LISTZ. Overally, he's definitely a guy who could have been higher had I seen him a bit more consistently, but apparently he went lurker for a while, so it was tough to put him much higher, especially considering my interactions with him are still limited.

'''98. Oddity

A mercs guy for the most part. I can't say I see him outside of those topics very often, however he is into mafia. We played together in several games, and in all the games we played together we ended up being alive for a long ass time, so I feel like I know the guy pretty well. He is good about staying active, he doesn't take it too seriously, and overall, he is probably one of the few people on the board outside of like, wigs and neon, who their presence in a game would make me a bit more likely to sign up. My only problem with the guy is that he is way too paranoid of me because of LotR mafia, but whatever. I don't think I've ever talked to him outside of mafia in any way shape or form, but I enjoy playing mafia with him enough that he earns this spot.

He does seem like a nice guy, and pretty smart too though, I'm sure the mercs guys like him too, I have to wonder if most of the board knows anything about him though.

'''97. TwilightPhoenix

OK, unlike Haguile, I'm pretty sure this is a guy who literally only posts in my topics. I support this <_<. TwilightPhoenix is an anime fan who also likes wrestling. Honestly, thats a pretty rare combo, but he is one of those guys. He is a good active participant in both anime topics, and I think he posts in my Raw topic on occasion. Mostly my interactions with him come over AIM, where we talk on a semi-regular basis about wrestling and my topics. Very nice guy, not a negative nancy like a lot of wrestling fans, I enjoy talking to him. I wonder why he doesn't post more (like in the wrestling topic). Because I think he is a good guy, instead he remains a lurker that most of you probably don't know about, but he makes it to the top 100 here!

'''96. voltch

Real live japanese man, I believe. Voltch is a solid contributor to my anime topics, which means INSTA-LIKE. I actually never knew he was a contest stats nerd, as I see him around the board a decent bit, inserting his opinions. I never knew he was one of them.

voltch is difficult to classify as a person. I don't see him joking around much or making funnies, he seems to enjoy debates, yet I can't classify him as too serious for whatever reason. I guess he doesn't seem to ever get pissed in debates. He sees it as it is, merely a debate. That is a trait more people on this board could use. Overall I find him to be an intelligent and quality poster. If more STAT NERDs seemed like him, I might be more inclined to check that topic out! (not that those asswipes want me or any outsider : (

'''95. sephsblade

I just want to get into a serious conversation with sephsblade one day, thats my one true goal in life. I keep thinking he DID get into a serious conversation on the board at one point, but pretty sure I'm thinking of newbie lolol.

seph is just... goofy. I will never understand his obsession with cats, either as a legit obsession or as a weird gimmick. Sometimes I feel like I could have a conversation with him just by saying CATS cats, cats. meow. Etc, and it would work... somehow.

I think I've played mafia with seph a few times. He stuck to his gimmick the whole time, of course >_>. Makes him a bit tough to read, but hey, when he is playing, the atmosphere of the game kind of... becomes more friendly I guess. That would probably be my favorite thing about him in general. He doesn't take anything too seriously, so when he is around, the "SERIOUS BUSINESS" nature of the board dies down a bit, and that is nice, and just frankly needed sometimes.

I know some people find him funny, I'm not sure if I've ever laughed from one of his posts, but HEY he's a cool dude who makes the board a better place in his own... special way.

'''94. ProphetProfit

Seriously, how did this guy beat me in OMAD. WORST USER EVER.

You are lucky I already unleashed my WRATH on espio, so I won't be mean. Profit wasn't too active around here for a while, but lately I feel like he has begun to pick up the posting pace a bit. His favorite past time is posting smartass one liners in random topics, which I actually find to be pretty funny a decent amount of the time. It's also nice that he isn't an actually meany when he does this stuff, he just likes to point out things... like how amazing that "smurfgrandpa" post was >_>.

Me and Profit have talked a bit on AIM this past year, I generally find him to be a cool guy. I feel like he really has come out of his shell a bit more lately though, not just in posting but attitude, so it might be interesting to talk to him again ONE DAY, it could be way different than our previous convos where he was just a normal nice guy. He also might not suck up to me as much... that would be unfortunate.

Oh and, I never know which order to put his god damn username in, I gave up trying. Screw you.

'''93. WalrusJump

Interesting stuff with Walrus. Earlier in the year I felt like he was a really young guy. I liked to pick on him and play mafia with him, pretty cool user. Then he disappeared for a while, now he has reemerged, and I swear he seems way different. It feels like he got into pot or something. All of a sudden he loves to talk about jazz and indie music. He seems way more chill than he did in the past, and maybe even a bit smarter. He also seems to have a way more diverse set of tastes than I gave him credit for before, for example, I had no idea he knew stuff about sports, as he is in B8BL. He really feels like a completely different guy.

Which is fine by me honestly. I always liked Walrus, but I think I like the new "more mature" Walrus even more. Seriously, this writeup felt weird, I wonder if Walrus will agree with it or not, but he really feels like he got way "older" over the course of the year. It'd be interesting to play maf/talk with him again now that he CHANGED.

'''92. calvinball

Calvin has been a pretty low-key poster for a few years now. I noticed him pretty early in his B8 "career". He's a laid back guy, pretty smart, seems to like a lot of different things, and I would say contributes well to most topics. Despite this he doesn't get much in terms of accolades from other B8ers. But I guess thats because the guy doesn't seem to have any real aspirations to be an E-LEGEND. He is just content to come here when he is bored, post a bit, leave. I don't think he talks on AIM to anyone, I don't think he has ever had a project of any sort. He just like to show up to post a bit.

Which is fine, I like his posts, he seems like a nice guy, I'm down with that. I think if he tried he could become a little more well known, but thats just a theory.

'''91. Anagram

A few years ago I could never imagine Anagram being considered a controversial user at all. He has been posting useless topics for years (LITERALLY!!!), but it was about one a day, a few of those topics would get a few posts, and everyone moved on. I think he was a name a lot of people knew but no one cared about.

Then this year was Anagram's breakout year. Out of nowhere he starts posting like 10 topics a day, making projects. And now it seems he has some people that think he is awesome, and others that think he is terrible. Very strange. I wonder what brought the new posting activity about?

Anagram is a lot like any user that has ever made that many topics a day (including yours truly in ~2007). Some are hits, some are misses. I'll just list some bullet points on this, because I have many random thoughts on his topics.

-His projects are generally solid, nothing he makes is probably gonna ever get HUGE on the board, but they are interesting. I really enjoyed his Star Trek character ranking topic, otherwise nothing else I personally cared for. -I think his topics can be cool, but sometimes I feel like he repeats the same things. I feel like he has made topics about other countries' english spelling several times, as well as several grammar whore topics. -It's weird that he decides to post topics from other boards without even saying "got this from "whoever"". I don't understand that at all. -I like when he implements videos or pics into his topics, he like... made a topic where he just showed himself jumping into a pool or something. Pointless but somewhat amusing. -I'd say 50-50 overall for how often his topics are worth reading. Not terrible.

Other than that, Anagram seems like a fun guy, he can take criticism well without getting serious or defensive. He could probably be higher on here without a few of his topic making traits, but I like him overall.

'''90. McBones/Burrito

In my first ever game of board mafia, I pegged Bones as scum day 1. I was so proud of my accomplishment that I decided to peg him as scum everyday, in every game I ever play with him >_>. Kind of like a memento of my first true peg! >_>.

But srsly, Bones is a really fun game to play mafia with. He is also a plus to ever game he is in, whether it be board or AIM. He plays hard, but he doesn't take it too seriously, always the best mix imo.

I enjoy our random chats on AIM as well, he is a funny, laid back guy. I feel like I'm beginning to notice him posting outside of mafia a bit more too, which is cool. I wouldn't mind seeing this a bit more from him, as he is a very likable guy, pretty popular within the maf community, so I think he could do well as a board poster too.

'''89. redherring/pezloco

AKA tom's roommate. Tom's pretty lucky to have a roommate nerdy enough to be on gamefaqs/play mafia.It's kind of cool, although, personally it might be a bit weird if my roommates saw me doing pokemon projects and shit... but Tom dresses as Phoenix Wright for Halloween so I guess he isn't that concerned about looking like a lamer!

As for herring himself, really cool guy. Very talented mafia player, one of the best guys to play with imo. He is good but not all intense and shit, which makes him fun to play with. I like talking to him as well.

The guy really doesn't follow the board at all though. I gave up trying to ask him board-related questions because he literally knows nothing about the board. I think it's a real pity, as he would be a quality poster if he chose so. But for a guy who just plays mafia, he is a very cool guy.

'''88. dragon (numbers)

I have no idea why dragon refers being called "numbers". Really strange >_>. I quickly liked dragon after we were in LotR mafia together. He isn't super active, but his posts have good content, and he definitely isn't inactive at least. Eventually he made his way into AIM mafia and seemed to make some friends there, though unfortunately I don't think I've ever played with him there.

I don't see him tons on the board, but it looks like he is bff with the VGmusic crew... thats uhh, not that more prestigious group on the board, but it's something I suppose! Even though I don't get to see most of his posts, he is a fun guy to talk to and play mafia with, so he gets a top 100 spot.

'''87. Naye

Yet another bandwagon Arsenal fan on this board, as well as a weirdo who seems to watch some sort of sport every night. The #1 weird thing about Naye, is he is always in the mafia chat room, yet he never plays. He goes in there to talk with such "quality" users such as swirldude and Blade. Like, I don't know, thats just odd. I really hate when he starts conversations mid-game too, thats just rude. I don't understand this aspect about him at all.

Luckily, even though he has terrible taste in who to talk to sometimes, he isn't such a bad guy. He is a semi-regular poster, he specializes in being an ass, but I think he is entertaining and not super mean in that role. Just kind of mean, about where you want to be in that role. He is pretty smart, and actually himself isn't bad to talk to in himself, as we kind of randomly talk for a few about either soccer or when I ask him podcast poll questions. So, I guess bad taste in who to talk to doesn't hold him back as a user much, so he gets a solid spot.

'''86. Coffee Ninja

Coffee Ninja is a lot like SBell for me (sorry for the accusation earlier BTW Bell!), in terms of, a guy I saw around a lot for a long time, but never managed to really stand out for me. This year that changed as Ninja started hanging around the wrestling KREW more and more. Quite frankly, I don't find him to be very good in debates, but I still like him as a fan. He seems to really like the indies, yet he is positive about WWE, which is honestly, pretty rare >_>. He is fun in the chats, because he is quite clearly there to just have a good time and talk, and he isn't there to fuck on everything. Basically, if I were to make a chat where I just invited cool people, instead of letting everyone invite whoever they want, he would be one guy who would definitely be invited.

I think Ninja is one of those guys who mostly prefers to make topics/post topics about LIFE. You know what I'm talking about. Doesn't seem like a guy huge into projects, I might know more about him if I was more into LIFE topics, but I'm not, so I mostly know him as a cool, positive guy from the wrestling topics. Nothing wrong with that!

'''85. Metroid13

It's half-amazing that I can remember this guy exists, what a generic username! Like man. I'll never understand people who have such terrible usernames, I put a lot of work into making sure I have a decent one no matter where I am, personally.

Anyway, Metroid is interesting. Firstly, he is gay. I'm barely sure how I know this, because he isn't very blatantly gay like the Mumeis, Mershs, Cyclos and starcows of the board. And obviously I can't say I ever go into that topic >_>.

I also think I offended him once, somehow or another, I just remember him being pissed at me, or calling me out. He might be a little sensitive, but obviously not that sensitive, like Cyclo, or I would probably remember more about it.

I feel like Metroid has come along and started posting a lot more lately. I can't say I remember him from most of the year, but recently in the offseason I have noticed him more and more in a diverse array of topics, from gaming to politics. He seems pretty well-rounded, and appears to know his stuff in a lot of different areas. I think he positively contributes to the board. Despite our many differences, I find myself liking him more and more as I see him post. I'd be curious to see if I could actually manage to talk to him on a 1 on 1 basis, but eitherway, I think he is a quality enough poster to get a pretty high spot, even if he is potentially sensitive/way different from me.

'''84. Jaylv99

Really a huge shame that Jay barely posted at all this year. The guy is just loads of fun whenever he is here, very positive, witty, funny, and even pretty smart for someone pretty young. The guy admits he is a big nerd, he has friends despite this, but I thought he was a safe bet for future User Of the Year! It is really upsetting that he of all people left damn it : (.

I used to talk to Jay quite a bit, he was from Michigan,. which gives him bonus points. We would talk about games, and GURLZ, and tons of other stuff, always a great guy to talk to, and he never seemed as young as he was to me.

But yeah, even though he mostly disappeared this year, he wasn't completely absent. He pops in on occasion and is cool as ever, it's just tough to rank him any higher with how limited his posting was this year. COME BACK JAY PLZ

'''83. Sir Cobain

The only surviving member of the Abomlcad crew after they all died in a car crash. I always thought the Abomlcad guys could be good users. Their fads were decent sometimes, in moderation, and they could be Miller Chill kind of guys, unless you bashed the Tim and Eric show, then you hurt their feelings : (. But the point is, if they didn't constantly try and shove whatever they thought was funny down everyone's throats, they could have been pretty good.

This is basically Cobain. He has a similar sense of humor to these guys, but he isn't out to make fads and be in the spotlight constantly. I see him in quite a few topics with that kind of goofy, laid back, yet at times maybe a little douchey posting style. But I think he does a good job at mostly directing that towards terrible human beings, and I respect that. I like that he is pretty laid-back, I think he can be funny, and I think he does a good job of contributing to discussion without being all in your face. Also, I'm pretty sure he is a detroit sports fan, BONUS POINTS.

So basically, the board was made better when Abomlcad died, but their lone baby boy who miraculously survived the crash is going on to doing slightly above average things with his life, and not making the same mistakes his mother and father made... awesome.

'''82. Minipoooot

I've always been a "poooooter". His username pretty much sums him up, he is just a fun guy. A little silly, yet also pretty smart, just a solid guy to have around. I feel like he disappeared for a good chunk of the year, but I've seen him a lot more lately, and he is his usual fun stuff. Poooot doesn't like to make tons of topics or projects, but he is always willing to input stuff into random topics. He is a quality poster and there is a reason why he is so well liked.

But seriously, I feel like his relationship with Dante is pretty weird. He goes and eats with him constantly, yet they never actually hang out with each other, mostly because Dante won't allow it or something. I mean... seriously. Don't you guys have any desire to hang out after eating together so many times >_>. Dante is a weird guy though, it might be his fault. Yeah, I blame Dante. Keep up the good work pooot.

'''81. Kakashi

Eccentric is pretty much the first word that comes to mind about this guy. Pretty much everything he says, and just the way he posts, there is something about it that makes it so you can just TELL he is a weird guy. Not a bad thing, it's just something to note.

Something about him being eccentric kind of makes me kind of enjoy his posts a bit more though. Whenever he posts in random topics, I tend to notice him, and I find him interesting at least. Kakashi always has seemed like a pretty nice, occasionally funny guy to me as well, so thats another bonus to his posts. He posts in my anime topics on occasion (as you would expect, with the username). And overall I just find him to be a bit intriguing and fun, which is good enough for a top 100 spot!

'''80. Shadow Ryoko

GURL. How dare she beat me in UotY, she should be ashamed in herself tbh.

Ryoko is around the board quite a bit. As she said earlier, we run in different circles, which is pretty true. She seems to prefer the LIFE topics, while I like projects. Doesn't mean I don't notice her obviously, she is a pretty quality user.

The only thing that makes her angry is whore jokes. Only a whore gets pissed at whore jokes LOL. But seriously, that seems to be the only thing that upsets her. Sometimes I don't understand why she doesn't snap at people like Vlado, who acts like she is god's gift to GameFAQs merely for posting here and being a girl. I'm not sure how she manages to deal with that without feeling a bit weirded out, but i have the feeling she keeps a lot of stuff inside, because, whether she wants to admit it or not, she is a pretty nice person, with a PRETTY NICE ASS.

Normally in addition to the fact that she should probably yell at people like Vlado once in a while, I'd probably get on her for associating with the likes of Cyclo, and the whole Ryoko/Cyclo sig change, but well, it's every girls dream to have a gay BFF, so I guess I can't really harp on her for that.. She seems like she would be a pretty cool person to hang out with, as she has a good sense of humor, plus, unlike NGIRL, she doesn't claim to be in love when she just likes the sex lolol.

So basically, while I DESERVED IT MORE, I can understand why Ryoko won, because she is probably one of the more fun users in the kind of topics I don't go in so much.

boobies

'''79. SilverErmine

The resident "animal lover" on the board without being an actual animal lover... if you catch my drift. When I first saw the guy, I admit I kind of put him in the group with marth and a lot of the other e-pop/brawl type clique (not that he plays Brawl, but you know what I mean). As I saw him more, I realized he wasn't with them, he was just an animal guy. Honestly, I love animals too myself, but this guy is obsessed, I find it a bit odd, but it isn't a big deal. I do enjoy his various photo galleries sometimes that he posts of his trips to zoos and such, he is actually pretty talented at it imo.

If I were to award someone the title of "nicest guy on B8", Ermine would definitely be my pick. I have never seen the guy say a negative thing on this board. Very pleasant guy to talk to without a doubt. I probably never would have been able to interact with him if not for us talking to the podcast, which is one of my favorite parts about doing the podcast, I have met a lot of cool people in the process,and Ermine is one of them.

'''78. LusterSoldier

It's a bit tough to do a write up on Luster at this point. I mean, what else is there to be said? If B8 was a novel, he would be a gimmick one-dimensional character there for comic appeal. He likes dew, making special accounts, the girlies, and e-fame. That about sums him up.

As anyone who is kind of gimmicked, Luster can get a bit old. His posting style amused me for a while, but now I'm kind of sick of it, I'd be more interested in seeing him post like a normal person. That would be stranger at this point.

Luster hasn't been around much of the year, which honestly makes me happy. Not because I dislike him, but because I think these boards became too much of an obsession for him, and I hope he is getting his life back in order.

Even if the gimmick is getting old, he can still be pretty hilarious at times, and he's a real nice guy who I don't mind talking to on AIM on occasion. I just would like to see Luster "turn the page" on his current "gimmick" and maybe try and act like the majority of people on the board for a bit... if that is even possible for him anyway.

'''77. Shaggy

Such an apt nickname for such a... hairy man. Shags was a lot like me at one point in his life, in LOVE with his best friend, wanted to do her, but she had a BF. We had some good talks about this in the past, and in general, we had a lot in common, and I thought of him as a pretty chill/cool guy.

These days I don't see the Shagster as much as I used to. I can't help but feel like he is maybe just a bit less fun than he used to be, and maybe a bit more douchey. Just the vibe I get. Not to say I dislike him. I think overall he is still pretty cool, smart guy, funny at times, not bad in the music topics, but I just don't think I like him as much as I used to. I'm guessing he changed because of depression about his BFF : (

'''76. Lady Ashe

Ashe is an interesting one. He still has the same d-bagish personality to an extent, but I definitely think he has cooled down a bit over the years. He used to be perhaps the most polarizing user on the board, very love him or hate him person, now he seems content to mostly post about anime and other things, doesn't feel the need to be a dick very often anymore.

Well, in mafia I guess thats the only difference. I don't find Ashe to be that great or fun to play with in mafia. But hey thats just me, he just doesn't have the kind of fun playstyle I prefer. In the anime topics though, Ashe is definitely one of my favorites. He is actually surprisingly positive a lot of the time, but he also isn't afraid to say what sucks, obviously. I think in anime debates he has good points, and is obviously a smart user overall.

I think the difference between old Ashe and new Ashe, is Ashe may be a bit more selective about his bashing. In these topics for example, he has bashed some people, but he usually sticks to bashing truly crappy people, and I can always get behind that. Probably not CHILL enough to be higher, but pretty decent guy.

'''75. freac

neon likes to hate on freac because uhh he pretends he is cool and tries really hard to be an internet badass, but he is not. I think neon is right to an extent, freac can try too hard (see: his "burn" on Jakyl earlier). But overall, I think he is funny and a pretty good user.

Obviously freac's (Free-ack, according to neon lol) main personality trait is being a dick. Once in a while he's willing to just say stuff in random topics, but overall, he thrives on making fun of people. Like I said about Lady Ashe earlier, the cool thing about freac though is he is mostly a good judge on who sucks and who doesn't, and I feel like he focuses his attacks on the sucky people, and he can often be pretty funny doing so, so I'm totally cool with freac, and because he is funny and bashes stupid people, he ends up pretty high on the list for me.

I get the vibe though that outside of the board, he'd be a really chill guy to talk to. I'd love to talk to him on AIM about gaming or the 360 or something. I think he should maybe bring a bit more of the chill factor to B8 and maybe tone down on trying to be a dick just a bit, but overall, pretty quality user.

'''74. Forceful Dragon

I feel like a lot of the Christians on the board mostly conceal their faiths, because they just quite frankly don't feel like defending it and such. Then the few people on the board who are openly religious can often be incredibly extreme. FD might be considered a bit extreme as well, but I think he is a pretty reasonable guy in debates about such things, and I respect that. He doesn't try and piss people off, he is just saying what he believes, and he is very respectful to others for the most part during these discussions. Respect he doesn't get back very often (I think he made a topic offering to pray for anyone who wanted it, he was of course, trolled).

Most of my interactions with FD this year came from TheLastKnights, a weird free online turn based MMORPG/Strategy hybrid. It is pretty fun, so I got into it for a few ages. FD is a pretty harsh taskmaster though >_>. Although he is also very helpful and informative, so thats nice, but those things get old for me.

In mafia, FD is OK to play with, but he has a bad habit of thinking he is more valuable than he is. As evidenced when he TREESTUMPED himself in LotR mafia, then proceeded to not contribute for the rest of the game. Like, wow, that was bad. Negative points for that.

FD is a difficult one to rank, because while I have mostly positive things to say about him, we just quite frankly have very little in common, and he can maybe be a bit one-dimensional when it comes to his posting, and in fact, lately he barely posts at all. So eh, this seems like a fair spot.

'''73. ExthaNemesis

I spent most of this year practically despising Extha. Extha has always been a user a bit more focused around sports talk than anything, so I guess it's not a coincidence that this is the first year I often felt strong dislike for him, and it also happened to be the year two of his "teams" won their respective championships.

The only reason I can't consider Extha the biggest bandwagon fan anymore is mr. meeks from Kansas who happens to cheer for two of the best teams this decade in baseball and football. But the fact is, I think Extha's trash talking, whining about calls and such, complaining, arrogance, and abrasiveness is just a bit more annoying coming from someone who I just can't respect as a true fan of his teams. I don't care how many Yankees games you watch, or go to, or crap you pay for, is it really that hard to cheer for the Yankees? Does it really take that much devotion to be a fan of such a consistently good team? I mean, this guy is so used to success with the teams he happens to cheer for, that one of his defenses for not being a bandwagon fan of Arsenal is that they haven't won a title since he has been watching, as if thats somehow a COMMON THING FOR YOUR TEAMS TO WIN CHAMPIONSHIPS. Since I don't care about hockey, I've seen one in my lifetime! (Back to Back Pistons, I was only like 3 and 4). And then it's equally frustrating because I never see him talk about his terrible teams, like the Raptors or Rams, he is more content to just pretend they don't exist on the board. Like I said, it's easy for me tonot be annoyed by other annoying sports fans, when I know that like me, they also have to deal with their fair share of crap and terrible teams. But, especially when you don't live in the same state as any team you cheer for, I imagine it's pretty easy to tune them out when they suck, considering you can't really watch them on TV anyway.

Like I said, it's pretty rare for me to concentrate that much on someones sports personality on the board, but that really is mostly what Extha likes to talk about these days.

Quite frankly, outside of the sports thing, me and Extha are remarkably similar. We both have that being a dick sense of humor, while generally not being serious about it at all. We can both take criticism as well as dish it out. We are both E-pop kings. We are both some of the rare breed that enjoys video games, sports, anime, and also happen to get laid (though, he's more of a relationship guy, I'm more of the one-night stand guy). So it's strange that we don't get along very well these days, he's a guy that used to be one of my BFFs on the board, I wonder if it was me or him that changed?

While Extha can definitely take criticism and stuff, it's also pretty easy to piss him off. I just get the vibe that he is pretty angry these days, like that topic about some car loan or something. Generally not a quality I care for.

I guess the main difference between me and Extha on the board is really, our tastes in stuff on the board. The more I think about it, in terms of taste in music, games, and even sports, Extha shares quite a bit in common with the board for the most part. Meanwhile, I pretty much disagree with the board on everything. It's interesting that we both became popular honestly.

Hmm, what else. I always think it's strange that Extha is willing to associate himself with some of the people he does. He seems to be buds with Meeks, it has always frustrated me how Swift and Extha don't just tell Vlado to fuck off. I've never understood that. Extha seems a lot more willing to interact with the "outcasts" of the board, and well, they are generally outcasts for a reason.

I could probably trash Extha all day if I wanted to honestly >_>. I guess it's because I've known him longer than a lot of people on the board. We talked back before either of us were very well known, I've known the guy for a looong time. So I know him pretty well. The fact remains, despite our difference, I still have him pretty high. BULLET POINTS

-He is a very fun user, and the fact is, his board antics and the fuck that happens afterwards is fucking hilarious. Remember when he pretended that he could stalk that mod Jessa and find out all her secrets? Or when he stole a grocery cart? Or when he posted his tim allen pic but committed the sin of having BOXERS ON, and was caught? All this stuff makes me chuckle just thinking about it, more than anyone else, Extha has been the cause of some awesome B8 moments. -The fact is, love him or hate him, he gets the board talking, and never fails to make things a bit more interesting around here, it'd be a big loss if he ever left. -Tons of openness and honesty can be interesting, and entertaining. I'll never forget his topic where he talked about how his girlfriend (at the time), ordered him to come to bed with her or it was over, and he did it like a bitch. He HAD to know people like me would give him shit for ages, but he still did it. I guess I respect how comfortable he is with himself, for being willing to do that, especially for someone already constantly in the spotlight. -The fact is, as much as he pisses me off, the guy has a good heart, and is the kind of person who would defend any of his friends till the end of time.

So I guess, in the end, the common theme is, he is a guy I can respect, even if we can't get along like we once did. Extha is a good man. A frustrating, infuriating, good man.

'''72. GrapefruitKing

Probably more than anyone, this is a guy I wish I interacted with more. GFK just seems tons like me. He's just that college kid that loves to drink, possibly do POT, not sure, likes to fuck babes, and loves the college lifestyle, yet keeps his nerdiness edge with stuff like GameFAQs and video games. Really cool and fun guy without a doubt, and I would say I almost always enjoy his topics.

Fun Fact: Until he started posting more, I always assumed he was gay. Maybe it's because that is just a weirdass username that has the word "fruit" in it, but hey. I knew NOTHING about him so whatever >_>.

I am not sure why we haven't interacted more. I click most of his topics yet I don't tend to post in them for whatever reason. And I'm not sure if he uses AIM, but hey, even though GFK probably doesn't really know me, I hope he knows I like him quite a bit,and enjoy his "work" on the board.

'''71. Silvercross

Silvercross is one of the most awesome guys on this board honestly. He is interesting (his topics on the process of testing games are still some of my favorite topics ever), very smart, very funny, and on the rare occasion I've played online with him, fun to play with. Just an all around super cool dude that really adds to the board whenever he posts here.

For whatever reason though he kind of disappeared most of this year (only re-appearing recently). His appearances are much rarer on AIM than they used to be (I used to talk to him a decent amount on there), and obviously he doesn't post so much. He had like a serious girlfriend and I think he is still working in the game industry, so it makes sense. It really sucks that he isn't around more though, as he is one guy I would love to have on the podcast. Ah well.

'''70. PepsiPlunge

Pepsi seems like at one point, back when he posted more, he was really popular on the board. I've only ever really seen him in wrestling topics though, so thats where all my impressions come from.

The main thing I like about this guy is that he genuinely loves professional wrestling. I love occasionally chatting with him about it because I know he isn't going to be a downer about everything, he just is always positive, and always wants to have a good time watching the show, no matter what it is. Whether it's ROH, TNA, or WWE, I get the feeling when Pepsi watches a show, he always goes in with an open mind, and an "open heart". Ready to mark out if the show warrants it.

Unfortunately he disappeared for a long time this year, I half-wondered if he was dead, but then he showed back up on AIM randomly one day. I IMed him and was like "holy shit you still are alive". But I realize now I IMed him with my "I am Westen" account, he probably had no clue who I was >_>.

By all accounts, Pepsi is probably one of the top nicest guys on the board. I know he used to burn his ROH DVDs for Steiner and others, and if you talk to him, he is never going to have an unkind word for anyone, except maybe Russo >_>.

Sometimes I wonder if English is his 2nd language or something. Something about his posting style seems just a tad robotic, it's just a feeling I get, but I'm unsure. Nothing I think is bad per se, It's just something I notice. A great guy who I hope is sticking around a bit more often this time around.
