Here it is... by popular demand by me, the Interesting General and Adventure Related Chat Thread Awards!
Yes! The Interesting Threads Awards is a pointless tri-annual award that is hosted by me! Woo-Hoo!
The winner (The person who started the thread) will recieve:
1. Bragging Rights!
2. The right to tell everyone about it!
The runner up will recieve:
1. Nothing!
This award prerequisets(sp) are quite self explanitory.
Here are the rules:
- The thread must be from the General Disussion Bord, or the Adventure Related talk and chat.
- It must be an interesting thread.
- You can't nominate your own.
- THey can't be stickys.
- And the thread you nomitate cannot be this thread.
If you take this seriously, name your nomination here!
If I get a lot of response, I will make a new thread to say the official nominees, and the voting will begin!
The winner of the thread award will get the chance- no, the privelage!- to say that their thread was the best from January to April.
I nominate "Guess Who Thead" by Peter Thomas. I learned so much about everyone. We're a big, happy fammily thanks to that thread!
What about you?
To save time, I nominate the following since they're givens.
The posts salvaged from ezboard found here http://www.sylpher.com/oldness.html
I'd also like to nominate, from the Yabb days the Haiku thread by Yakspit and the I love Mark Lovegrove innuendo thread. The latter is a community effort and can't really be attributed to the thread creator alone [if at all]
I must nominate the hijacked NewsBot thread... it was a thread started by Barcik about a news website that had no bias, people disagreed and then NewsBots were posted...
it was awesome
[at the risk of tooting my own horn this is the one i nominate]
hahaha, that was the best eric. I found it a while ago tho, and most of the pictures are gone.
I should have addded:
Teh nominees must have been posted between JAnuary and April. :)
What year?
-MillsJROSS
This one, I should think.
I too nominate the "I LOVE MARK" thread -- that thread was sweet and a community effort!
CLeksutin vs. the Ninjas thread. Best thread ever.
Man, I was all over the Mark thread.
Hijacked threads are the best, and in that spirit, I declare that all posts ever are eligible.

It wasn't a new source with no bias, it was a good reliable newsource with average bias. Yes, I can't let an argument go. ;D Anyway, where is that thread?
I nominate DG's tech support thread!
Hmmm. I dunno. Howabout Chris' April foolsday joke, AGS to become shareware! Okay, I nominate that thread
Bah, the Sekrit Hidden Moderators (TM) made that thread what it is. But I've said too much...

/me points and laughs at Esseb's use of smilies.
Not before I crawl up in a fetus position to cry over my atrocious spelling.

That was the worst of the year! How could you say such a thing? ::)
The most interesting for me has been the one which gave us the possibility to see our fisrt backgrounds again... My vote goes for it.
Hope this one counts (since it was locked), but does anybody remember the Mappomedia thread?
That was probably the funniest thing i had ever read.

edit: woops, this thread was from September, I guess it can't qualify. my bad.
LOL!!!!
(That's probably the first LOL i've done in like a year.)
Too bad. That was hilarius!
I second eric's nomination for the newsbot thread.
To remind and/or familiarize you of its greatness, please review the following:
http://sylpher.com/evenwolf/robots
Layabout:
CLeks vs Ninjas.
That was a great, rocking awesome thread. But without any evidence of its existence, I have only the memories.
Hooray for Even!
Woop woop!
Though newsbot 3 doesn't look good unless posted on a coloured background
Bwahaha @ Evenwolf
My robot so kicked ass
I nominate philroberts' Lunchbox (http://www.agsforums.com/yabb/index.php?board=8;action=display;threadid=11225;start=0) thread.

BTW- Someone gimme the link to that Newsbot thread. I can't find it and it sounds hilarious!
for the love of god...
it's Colossal...
i've been here almost 4 years and only 3 of you can spell it correctly...
2 l's 2 s's
Shut up, Collosal.
Two o's as well, and one a.
to this day eric will verbally refer to me as "Evan"
the spelling of Collasle just isn't a huge priority for me for some reason.
I've been thinking my name doesn't fit much any more. I have an alternative I might try out.
I just avoid the whole spelling problem and just call him eirc.
Hahahahahahah!
If that was unintentional, then it was funnny!
if it was intentional than it was stupid 8)

Newsbot by Barcik- 3
Hijacked Newsbot: Barick- 3
Same one...
The fact he has roughly only 20% of the threads nominated there, and half of them misattributed sorta put me off compiling a different list.
I guess I should clarify the tone of this post with a smily. (:
welp, if this thread is going to work- there definitely needs to be some organization.
I don't really think the best thread should be picked by numbers. Rather, the winning thread should be the one with the mose robots in it. that always worked in the past.
Jesse's mom, "Let's see, which of my children did I love the most?"
Jesse, "ooh me! me mom!"
Ernie, "As I re-ckckck-all. You lu-uhuh-ved me precisely 38.102% mo-ore-ore than Jesse."
OK, we should have categories.
For example, there could be an award for the following:
Stupidest Thread
Most Informative
Best Locked Thread
Most Loving
MOst FUn
Those are all so stupid. Someone help me out here
I vote for the thread below
http://www.agsforums.com/yabb/index.php?board=1;action=display;threadid=13053;start=0
never seen anything like it.
it's very interesting.
;D
For the most informative thread, I would nominate the Guess Who Thread, but, seeing as there are some injustices in this world that do not perish (such as not being able to vote for your own thread. Good heavens why not?), I shall nominate the MSPaint Game for the most Fun Thread (which is not a listed category, strangely enough) ;D 8)
I am cool
I'll add another nomination for the c.lex vs. the ninjas thread, I had a loot of fun that night!
C.
PS: I think this is the 3rd or 4th nomination for that thread, could you at least put it on the list now ::)
