Paid Members air_raid Posted October 7, 2011 Paid Members Share Posted October 7, 2011  "I provide gold and you lot dont appreciate it. I sometimes think its only me and Lenny Henry left. " He's currently suspended, but I was thinking about Ian_hitmanhart a few hours ago when looking for a new Anvil avatar, and in combination with some mutterings about the 2011 Poster awards I thought it was about time we reminded ourselves what a top poster Ian truly is, and the contributions he has made to On Topic this year. Sterling form both with sharp barbs and top discussion, he even made the "Appreciation Thread" genre his own.  Shameless arselicking, but hell, I'll admit that a lot of Ian's posts have what have kept me logging on. It helps that we have similar tastes, of course, but let's recap the greatness Ian has contributed in 2011.  The Appreciation Threads June 30th Davey Boy Smith   August 21st Rick Rude  September 10th Crush  September 20th X-Pac Kevin Nash Fashion Thread (much better than that cheap imitation one that sprang up!)  His crowing glory, Bound For Gory.  The most recent masterpiece, Next week's Raw.   Titbits Hulk Hogan - the MAN. Definitely the MAN. WHOOO! Guess whose chin? Yes, I am an ARTIST. INFORMATIVE, not just argumentative. Remembering Vince on Prodigy. ROH, big time Charlies. He's hard as nails... He has a sensitive side, too. Sting to WWE? Cena should turn.  No-body is safe Dead wrestlers. Fappers. The overweight. Mafia bores. Mothers. Geordie bints.   And finally I will go to my grave still laughing at Ian's memory of the climax to SummerSlam 88.  This is the house that Ian built.  VOTE IAN.

Paid Members Arch Stanton Posted October 7, 2011 Paid Members Share Posted October 7, 2011 He's currently suspended...Surely not!? What have I missed? Paul Parker not allowed to play Mafia.Aw, that's bullshit. No wonder I hadn't seen it though, Mafia threads?! lol.Cracking tribute by the way. I'll admit that Ian's easily one of my favourite posters here. Suspending him is like WWE suspending Cena. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shovanist Pig Posted October 7, 2011 Share Posted October 7, 2011 I already miss the big man. His posts are always a highlight.Being a humongous lurker. You should suspend me instead for being a dull arse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Devon Malcolm Posted October 7, 2011 Paid Members Share Posted October 7, 2011 He's a good lad is Ian. The best thing he's ever done for me is make me aware of that Video Nasties documentary last year, one of the best documentaries and DVDs dedicated to a film or group of films that I've ever seen. Good all-rounder, too, he (and Pitcos, for that matter) is an underrated off-topic bloke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr.Showtime Posted October 7, 2011 Share Posted October 7, 2011 The best there was, the best there is, and the best there ever will be. This forum went uphill when this boy forced his way up the card. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Pitcos Posted October 7, 2011 Share Posted October 7, 2011 I'd not seen the Rick Rude thread before! The sooner our Ian's back, the better. The forum's a far poorer place without him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members Devon Malcolm Posted October 7, 2011 Paid Members Share Posted October 7, 2011 Guess whose chin?Chin competition aside, this whole Undertaker/Sting thread is one of the most simultaneously brilliant and awful threads that I have ever read. You have several absolute morons reading absolutely everything they can into every piddling detail of a couple of promo videos so that they can to convince themselves, more than anyone else, that it is Sting. On the other hand you have the likes of Ian and Pitcos subtly winding them up with some superb comedy that keeps these idiots coming with their ridiculous theories just so they have more material to work with. It's almost Paul Merton-esque work from them both and several others like Butch, Loki and Cleetus in keeping the comedy flowing instead of outright flaming people (which was probably deserved, in fairness) and having them go away.Then occasionally it segues into some brilliant side-issues such as the Carbomb/Ian argument about Big Daddy V, the chin competition and semi-regular swipes at Ron Simmons and his Daniel Radcliffe / Pete Doherty nonsense that was kicking off in a separate thread at that time.It really is a microcosm of the very best and the worst that the UKFF has to offer. Someone should sit down and do a proper highlights package of it one day (maybe along with the Benoit thread as well) because it really is a great read in so many and various ways.

the flananator Posted October 7, 2011 Share Posted October 7, 2011 I usually just skip through threads until I find Ian's posts. Excellent poster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
