These guys. These are good guys

You're soft bro.

Wait, Big Smoke is 2012. How can he be in the running in 2014?

Seriously? Some of the butt-hurt that you'll see in some of these contests are actually real? Honest question.

A couple days ago, the "King of the n00bs" stuff was brought up in the Top 101 Posters thread and I made a comment about how during my n00b year, I wasn't nominated or even mentioned...and followed this by posting 3 different "crying" gifs. I was being 100% sarcastic... I followed the n00b of the year thread during my n00b year, but I didn't actually give a shit that I was apparently invisible during that time.

Sometimes when it becomes clear to me that the butt-hurt and/or desire to win or be commended in some of these popularity contests is actually legit, it kind of prompts me to think a bit harder about who I am interfacing with on here.

Aussie joined in like 1996 and ran away with it last year.

I got beat out by BoneKrusher because he made signature panels for everyone. He won it and has since disappeared.

I haven't seen him around much lately either. Maybe he finally got a job?

July, 2012 join date.

I'm sorry your mom wouldn't let you use the keyboard until you were a sophomore in high school, but there should be no ****ing chance as a KOTN nominee.

I think it's because he is just recently becoming noticed. Just kind of now coming into his own. Kind of how Sorter was 2012 champ, although I think he registered around the same time we did (September 2011)...I could be wrong about that though. Sorter kind of sat back for a few months at first, I think... then when he started opening up a bit more, no one could give him the n00b treatment because he sat back and learned the ways of the board AND could back him self up with his extensive football knowledge.

You were real good with handling the n00b treatment as well. I used to get a kick out of it. You'd basically be like (in your own words), "**** off" whenever someone tried to come at you with the n00b shit.

I remember that. He was another September 2011 registrant. Did he go back to that other board he used to part of with Boss Chief and Black Robert? What is it...the Coalition or something?

Yeah, just checked Sorter's join date. September 2011 was the registration month of Lewdog, Sorter, BoneKrusher and myself... I wonder who else?

I don't give a **** what happened to him. Some chump with some above average Microsoft paint skills doesn't mean shit!

Looking back, I don't see how you lost that. 2011 was a horrible year for n00bs.

Sorter definitely understands message boards and has a calculated approach. I've noticed that.
