PPOTM (October) Nominations Thread
 

Ok, this is how I run things. Follow the rules, and have fun. Go.

Rules:
1. Number of nominations does not matter (everyone advances), but, each nomination requires a short paragraph to be valid. If you can't back up your choice with 3-4 short sentences, you should reconsider how much you think they deserve this award. Don't nominate yourself.

2. I'm closing this Sunday/Monday because I'll be gone most of the weekend. Don't whine, just nominate :p I'll be editing the first post with accepted nominations, but if you want to write a blurb for someone already nominated, go for it. This is all about user appreciation.

3. This thread is for nominations or questions only please.

4. I can't win. :(

5. This month we're gonna try out a noob PPOTM too as per request, so if you can think of a noob who has done something good, nominate em and I'll put that up under a separate category.

Accepted PPOTM nominees:
Adam (Excursions)
Spence (Allofmeoliveme) isn't accepted because he's uber fag ;)
Albert_bass
Cobert
Brian (Mute Print)
Brandon (Fire Whispers)
Jamie (J-Cool)
Kif
Rancid Dan
Butler
Chumpradio
Tjebby
Rissa (because I totally am her bitch :-\)

Accepted NPPOTM nominees:
REAL_FOB/TBS/BN_FAN
Mr. Clean
Glitter&Trauma

For the Noob category I'll nominate: Real FOB [insert rest of name]. He may have an annoying name but he's all in all a fairly good new user. He's dedicated to his music and he tries to get other people into bands they may not know. I feel he contributed to the forum well and I wouldn't mind at all if he posted more as he hasn't posted much lately.

For the normal category I'll nominate: Spence. He has always contributed well to the forum but now with his modding abilities he helps keep pop-punk clear of spam and he's making people be better users overall.

[size="1"]He also lets me download lots of music from him :p.[/size]

I nominate Adam, becuase although he doesn't post much, when he does, he makes excellent contributions. His confessions thread added a spark to the forum, and his knowledge of music is very broad. He has also helped me get in to a few cool bands, including the Bleeders.

I refuse to nominate a noob because, honestly, I can't say there is a noob in pop-punk that I feel is a respectable poster, let alne one who has made a significant contribution. Most seem to be very uneducated about styles of music/bands, and a lot of them are poor posters in general. There also aren't very many noobs in pop-punk it seems.

OK, if there's a n00b who is a decent poster at the moment, they haven't done enough to catch my attention in any way. Although, I have been absent for a week, so my views should really count for a quarter less than everyone else.


As for a general PPOTM... I really don't know. Nobody has really stood out for me this month. Let me go back and poke through some recent posts and try and come up with someone.

Edit: I nominate Albert_Bass. His posts are generally interesting and well-informed, and let us not forget, he introduced me to the joys of Bigwig. Yeah.

I'd like to nominate Cobert. Since he's been back he's been sparking up some good conversation, especially in the Co&Ca thread. He's a generally helpful poster and he has a lot of knowledge of pop punk.

As for a n00b, I can't really think of any.

I nominate Mute Print(Brian) and Fire Whispers(Brandon). Both are really cool guys. They are both good posters. They don't just post in the DT either.

[size=1]Brian's given me some A3 through AIM even though I use 56k also.[/size]

Pazz_10 as noob of the month, for me. She's been nice and active this month, if I recall.

Real_Fan, as far as I can remember has only posted in like two threads this month (Scene and something else).

Brian is the best, but I'm sure he's won it already.

If he has, I nominate Jom, just for ****s and giggles.

Pazz is a guy...:p...not really a noob either...

[QUOTE=AZNGuitaristDude101]Pazz is a guy...:p...not really a noob either...[/QUOTE]

No.

[QUOTE=BridgeToSolace]No.[/QUOTE]
Well Pazz has a join date of Sep 2004. Same as me and Vince. If pazz is a girl, then it's a girl named "Matt". :p

[QUOTE=BridgeToSolace]No.[/QUOTE]

pwned! :smash:

Yeah, whatever :rolleyes:

(Define noob.)

If I can't nominate Pazz, than I'll skip out on that section. Real_Fan seems like a cool guy, but he needs to post more.

(Define noob.)[/QUOTE]
[QUOTE=wikipedia]A newbie is a newcomer to a particular field, the term being commonly used on the Internet, where it might refer to new, inexperienced, or ignorant users of a game, a newsgroup, the Internet itself, or an operating system.

Variant spellings, such as newb, noob or n00b (spelled with zeros replacing the "o"s), are common in Internet use.

[/QUOTE] Matt has posted quite a bit in the past. Especially in the blink thread and what not.

[QUOTE=AZNGuitaristDude101]Matt has posted quite a bit in the past. Especially in the blink thread and what not.[/QUOTE]

I avoid the blink thread, so I wouldn't know.

I meant "Define how long it takes for someone not to be a noob."

But oh well, Vince told me whats up.

[QUOTE=AZNGuitaristDude101]Matt has posted quite a bit in the past. Especially in the blink thread and what not.[/QUOTE]

lies

Jon: I see.

Deux: No.

Ok. Let's stop spamming Vince's thread before he gets upset.

Neg rep.

I nominateJamie (J-Cool)

A good, friendly user who has just as much a right to be nominated as the rest of the users on the list. Take spart in forum activities and doesn't spam at all.

Matt should still be able to be nominated for noob. Almost the whole time he was here before the past month or two he only posted in a Blink thread and very rarely anywhere else. He just recently started posting a bit more outside of it and I see no harm in putting him in anyways. Plus it makes for a bit of competition.

No, n00b is for people who joined this month traditionally.

TBS fan guy didn't even join this month.

I know he didn't, that's why I figured it'd be better if it was just noob in general. Pop-punk rarely gets any real noobs. And when we do they're usually avid Blink fans who can't type. If not though than whatever. I guess my idea isn't really going to work.

I don't think we should really have a noob of the moneth, but whatever.

Meh.. I thought it would encourage newer people to stick around. Which would help the forum out a bit seeing as it's slightly lacking in users. It won't really work if there are no noobs though.

Yeah, but PPNOTM is for people who have joined in the month of which the competition is being held for (October).

All I'm saying is that it can be adjusted to fit the forum. It doesn't [I]have[/I] to be any way. If people agree that it should be changed then it can be. I guess I should have discussed it a bit more with Vince before he made it. Oh well.

Ok, but how do you calss a noob, what join date ?

Could Tjebby and Depthsofdreams etc be classed as a noob or what?

Techincally, I'm still classed as a n00b by some people.

erm..... nominate me for best noob.......
but seriously i nominate Untitled for ppotm

Noob PPOTM? Well.....I really don't know most noobs kinda get on my nerves. I guess I could try to find someone later or something.

As far as PPOTM goes I really don't know right now i'm kind of torn between three people Rancid Dan, Puma, or Kif. This is really hard all good posters but I think I'm going to go with Kif.

Kif is a really friendly guy. His posts are always infomative and most of the time on subject. He's not a frequent spammer. Actually I don't remember seeing any spam by him. And I can't forget if it wasn't for kif I wouldn't have this kick arse avatar!
