Starter for 10 categories Categories Admin of the Year (self explanatory) Magere Hein before he vanished Moderator of the Year (self explanatory) DDT is the only moderator, so... Post of the Year (for an individual post that can lay claim to being the greatest) This one Shitposter of the Year (someone who post constant rubbish) Tempus Fungit never posts anything of value Sage of the Year (someone who contributes valuable wisdom and information regularly) I pass. It's hard to mention just one specific person, there are several members out there The Farewell Award (for a much missed poster who has left us this year.) I think Magere comes across as sane enough to actually have a life outside of DL and will probably return someday. So it's probably not a permanent farewell in that sense. My vote goes to Deathray or maybe RandomCanadian who racked up several posts before quitting. Estuarian float is gone too. The Good Riddance Award (for a poster we're all glad to see the back of who has left us this year) Errm, I will have to pass on this one out of respect for the person who will wind up getting this award anway The mong award (for a poster who is an utter retard, beyond any normal comprehension) It starts with an "M" and ends with an "orbidkid". But I won't say the member's name outright because I am a very noble and respectful person Chief Lister of the Year (for a poster who has created the most magnificent lists) Hmm, I will have to look into that. I think that Msc, Bibliogryphon, YoungWillz and a few others tend to make good lists but not 100% sure Tip of the Year (for a "this person might be ill" post that proved to be absolutely accurate but wasn't obvious) I don't know. I don't keep track of who said what about whom 9 months ago Crystal Ball of the Year (for an absolutely ridiculous candidate put forward who actually died) See above Wifey of the Year (best female poster) It's a tie between Toast and Handrejka w***er of the Year (best male poster) Hard to choose just one DL Gimmick of the Year (credit to Spade) Is gimmick like a joke or running gag? A vaguely defined award so I dunno Swearer of the Year (best/most prolific use of swearing) (credit to Lard) Paul Bearer, as he is the only effing one who can swear properly Thread of the Year Probably the ones who dealt with major events of 2016, like the US election, Olympics or Brexit Rant of the Year Any of a certain person's 20 paragraphs long Islam-related rants that he, at his finest, churned out on a regular basis Death of the Year (most entertaining and talked about) David Bowie Joke of the Year You mean in the Joke thread where everyone just pastes funny stories off of other websites? Put Down of the Year I don't know Best Newcomer Apologies to Joey, drol and Coffinlodger and a few others, but the best newcomer has to be Robert Mugabe, lol.

msc 18,375 Posted December 6, 2016 If you're actually doing this, a few that come to mind to tip of the year. charon's David Provan one, didn't work out for the DDP but enough for folk to use him in many of the other deadpools around here Sir Creep banging on and on (and on and on and on) about Gordie Howe's imminent death when it seemed he was recovering from ill health. I can't find it via search but someone on here posted after Alan Rickman got married last year with a "why, is he ill?" type post. It was the first thing I thought of when I heard he'd died.

Whilst he provided some interesting insight and contributed much to some threads, his crazed fights with nearly everyone on the forum distressed me somewhat. The mong award (for a poster who is an utter retard, beyond any normal comprehension) No one deserves this award. If they can log in, they have achieved a level beyond retarded imo. Chief Lister of the Year (for a poster who has created the most magnificent lists) Modesty prevents me from nominating in this category, but I agree BiblioG and msc are major contenders, probably msc for his stat work.

Joey Russ 7,207 Posted December 7, 2016 I'm sorry everyone but this is definitely joke of the year, from Paul Bearer himself: David Cameron was visiting a Glasgow primary school and the class was in the middle of a discussion about words and their meanings. The teacher asked Mr Cameron if he would like to lead the discussion on the word 'Tragedy'. So the the prime minister asked the class if they could think of an example of a tragedy. A little boy stood up and said, 'If my best friend is playing in the field and a tractor runs over him and kills him, that would be a tragedy.' 'Incorrect,' said Cameron, 'That would merely be an accident.' A little girl stood up and said 'If a school bus carrying thirty children drove over a cliff, killing everybody inside, that would be a tragedy.' 'I'm afraid not', said Cameron, 'That's what we would call a great loss'. The room went silent. No other kid volunteered. Cameron searched the room. 'Isn't there someone here who can give me an example of a tragedy?' Finally, little Johnny raised his hand from the back of the class and said, 'If a plane carrying you and all the Tory M.P.s was hit by a missile and blown to smithereens, that would be a tragedy.' 'Fantastic!' exclaimed Cameron, 'And can you tell me why that would be a tragedy?' 'Well,' said little Johnny, 'It has to be a tragedy, because it certainly wouldn't be a great loss, and it probably wouldn't be a fucking accident either' EDIT: Apologies for wrong link, I just copied and pasted your joke instead Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
