Paid Members tiger_rick Posted January 9, 2007 Paid Members Posted January 9, 2007 Vote for the UKFF Under-rated Poster of 2006.Discussion allowed.Sorry for delay on this one. I'll just add on this one that this is my favourite category. All 10 guys and the many more nominated are absolutely excellent contributors who deserve a bit of recognition.
fleischmark Posted January 10, 2007 Posted January 10, 2007 (edited) If WHCMHage doesn't get both 'Poster of the year' and 'Under-rated poster of the year' then i'll be sourly disappointed.EDIT: Just to clarify, I meant because it would be funny. Coz, like, it wouldn't make sense to be both. WHCMHage seemed to get confused and thought I liked him. Edited January 10, 2007 by fleischmark
Moderators Chest Rockwell Posted January 10, 2007 Moderators Posted January 10, 2007 shucks - I guess I should stuff more people off here full of booze and drugs, huh?At the risk of this sounding like a backslap-fest, you got my vote for the LOL award... But accept that with the caveat that Stingersplash would have had it, had he made the final ballot - take that for what you will
bazhsw Posted January 10, 2007 Posted January 10, 2007 $tew bagged my vote but I'm sharing the poll with some great posters. I don't know about being underrated or whatever but it is nice to know that people actually read each others contributions to the board and value them.
Paid Members herbie747 Posted January 10, 2007 Paid Members Posted January 10, 2007 bazhsw got my vote.
Paid Members JLM Posted January 10, 2007 Paid Members Posted January 10, 2007 Mine also. Feel the love.
Paid Members ShortOrderCook Posted January 10, 2007 Paid Members Posted January 10, 2007 (edited) This is a wierd one. In that, isn't it a little bit contradictory? I'm guessing the only criteria would be posters you regard as good contributers who seem under-rated/overlooked by other posters and/or don't recieve much 'recognition'. Â Yet, some of the first guys that pop into my mind as really under-rated posters are guys like gadgetboy, Freaky_Jason, Black2, Gossy and to a lesser extent frank. None of them are there, reinforcing my thoughts that they're some fucking good posters, which many fail to realise, whereas the nominees are surely not so under-rated having recieved enough nominations to qualify...? Â Surely Hagester being considered one of the posters of the year would disclude him as a choice for most under-rated poster of the year? No? Edited January 11, 2007 by purplemonkeydishwasher
Moderators Chest Rockwell Posted January 11, 2007 Moderators Posted January 11, 2007 I don't really understand this award, either... What are the criteria for it? I don't know where I've ever seen posters 'rated' before in the first place, for any to be under-rated..The only thing I can think of is it being a category for anyone who's not been nominated for 'Poster of the Year' in previous years..?That doesn't really seem to make all that much sense...

The reason this poll was last was because Hage, JLM and $tew ended up in both poster and under-rated poster awards. I wans't sure that they should be in both, but the general opinion was that the people who nominated think they are under-rated. It's a matter of judgement, but the people nominationed and the final list of people are totally justified, in my opinion.

That clearly indicates that you are rated. It's essentially like getting Best Newcomer and Life Time Achievement awards.THE WHOLE DAMN SYSTEM IS WRONG.

At the end of the day, if people believe that someone is under-rated, who am I to exclude that opinion just because others do rate them. I don't disagree with you, but the decision has been made so live with it. Otherwise, I'll go power mad and delete your posts!

This thread scares me Posted January 18, 2007 Posted January 18, 2007 (edited) Who is the big boot? and why havent I seen any of his/her posts?This was another tough poll to vote in as I think everyone on the list (apart from the big boot) has lots of interesting things to say and deserves more credit for the input to the forum.Hmmmm. Im going to have to stay out of this one. Edited January 18, 2007 by bootcleaner
