Who was the definitive poster / overall MVP of the Punboards. He / she who brought the most?

Obviously I am the winner here, but we've gotta be democratic about it so go ahead and let the nominations begin.

[Mikey]

This is the easiest pick on the board and let me tell you why:

Without the vision of this person, there is no Pun's House. Without his creativity and genius, there would not be a reason to even have this parallel universe. While the deed to the property may belong to Pun, the guy who did the grunt work on this son of a bitch should win this award hands down. That man is...

LUCKY

The rest of you are free to cite his excellent rants in the hottie showdown and whatnot.

[Lucky]

Aw shucks. I did create the ugly as sin "Mets" skin. And the "You're Stupid" one which was so brilliant in theory but I couldn't perfect.

Optard on the other hand was the one who managed to completely rewrite the board with the word censor. Of course I'm the one who gave him the idea and told him how to do it.

[Pun]

Personally, with this being the 1 year anniversary, there are 4 people that need to be given co-posters of the year: Solly, Moose, Mikey, and Lucky (from here on out, dubbed "The Pun's House Four").

I came up with the idea of a keeper league before the '06 baseball season started. I talked it over with these 4 guys over U2U, IM, e-mail, etc. When I finally created the league and set it up, those guys were instrumental in setting up the rules, payment systems, and the like (thankfully, Lucky has even taken over the reigns of the league, otherwise, it probably would have only lasted that first year). When the season ended, I began talking to them about someplace where we could "gather" in the off-season to discuss rules and such, because we all figured that if we clogged up the OO boards with our fantasy baseball junk, especially in the off-season, the mods would get pissed (and rightfully so, because other folks don't need to be subjected to our crap). It was those four guys that talked me into starting this place.

I did some research, and chose ProBoards, because it's free, and it is relatively easy to customize. The fantasy threads were the only ones that existed for a few months and the keeper league guys were the only ones that posted. But then the OO crashes began to happen more frequently. With some prodding from Solly and Moose (I didn't want to be seen as trying to take anything away from OO), I set up some forums that were similar to OO's, so we could post here. More and more people were invited and some of the current regulars jumped on board (Tex, Sergei, Thai, Court, etc).

So you see, there really is no other choice. The Pun's House Four are the Posters of the Year. Without them talking me into creating this place, there would be no Pun's House.

[The Jewish Cunthead]

Lucky
Tex

[Jack Quinn]

thanks for the nod Pun

but really, without Pun actually DOING something, there would be no Pun's House Four, no awards, nothing.

So I nominate Pun

[The Jewish Cunthead]

It goes without saying that none of this would be possible without Pun so I'm just voting for the best poster, the one who brought the most to this site for me, it's a toss-up between Tex & Lucky.

[Pun]

I'm removing myself from the running in any categories.

[Loki]

Damnit, you were my TOP pick for shithead of the year, too! ;D

[Krydor]

I nominate Jeb

[National Champion Chris Cole]

I say we all tell Pun that him NOT getting this award in year one is bullshit and give it to him anyway.

[National Champion Chris Cole]

If he is really adament about it we can set up Lifetime Achievment and give it to Pun in the first year.

[Lucky]

Meh. Pun sucks anyway. He's nothing more than a figurehead. A hollow suit. He's probably off playing with his little kids now anyway. His life is already fulfilling enough.

[Loki]

Bah. You're just bitter because you haven't found anyone "worthy" of being Mrs. Lucky. You know, able to rattle off baseball statistics going back to 1900 who can also fire off multiple 5000+ words per posts on the trade of Cliff Lee.

Can you imagine the initial conversation between Lucky and his dream woman?


Lucky: VORP?
Dream Woman: WHIP.
Lucky: OBA? IBB.
DW: SLG? ERA! K/BB, K/9? IRA!
Lucky: HLD! OPS! SLG!
Together: HR!!!!

POST OF THE DAY!

And Lucky, you can just lick my balls, because at least some of us have a job.

[The Jewish Cunthead]

Well done, loki. EXALT~!

[Lucky]

Hey, I have a job. I have 2 jobs. I'm a teacher. A molder of young minds! I'm also a landscaper. A molder of... uh... shrubbery.

Sure, I hate those young minds but I still mold them.

Actually, technically I probably have 3 jobs at the moment. I briefly returned to my videography business on request.

Vote Lucky! He's Jamaican!

[Chris Eco]

Solly and Tex, because I have instances of both agreeing with me when no one else did.

[DevSop]

Lucky and Solly

[Lucky]

Strange observation but I just read this back and something occurred to me.

I hate shrubbery too.

EDIT: In all seriousness I'd nominate Pun, Optard, Solly, and Tex.

[creepy]

Not to suck the dude off or anything, but definitely Lucky.

And Uncle Tex and Moose are tied for second right now. Gotta think on that'n.

[The Canadian Content]

I'll nominate Solly and Loki. The two guys that made me laugh most.

[Batman]

Loki and Psychofish.

(Tex and Lucky get the "lots of people nominated you, so I don't need to" award.)

Nothing like a pity nomination to make a guy feel good aboot himself, eh?

[Batman]

Pshaw! I couldn't decide between the four of you, so I went with the two where my nom might make a difference. Lucky and Tex don't need any help from me to make it to the poll.

I feel I should point out, nobody's nominated me!
