    End of Year Poster Awards for 2011

    A comment by Troung got me thinking: Who were this year's outstanding posters on WAB? Who was this year's best thread hijacker and what was the hijack? What were the best and worst threads on WAB in the year 2011? What was post of the year? Who was best poster of the year, and who was the worst poster?

    Ladies and gentleman, cast your votes! We have just under 3 weeks until January 1st. Categories are as follows:

    1) Best Hijacker
    2) Best Hijack
    3) Best Thread
    4) Worst Thread
    5) Post of the Year
    6) Best Poster

    You can answer one category or answer them all. There is no Worst Poster category because we don't want to be offending anyone here, do we?

    Also, I've been told by the Mods that Yellowbelly earns Ass Clown of the Year

    A good fun thread to be involved in, Benny.

    I'm proud of you.

    You finally created a decent thread.

    Ok, I've been kind of busy lately so I couldn't surf WAB to fulfill your attention seeking thread once again but I do remember a few.....

    But I took a hiatus earlier in the year so I don't know what went on here at the beginning of the year so this only covers the second half....

    Best Hijack


    I couldn't decide on one so I chose two.

    Nothing better than to hijack a thread started by the master jacker himself.....

    Obama will unite us



    It was a pretty boring thread about hurricanes and such until chainsaw pooping pterodactyl got involved starting at post number 111. All the better since a mod's warning to keep thing on topic started the derailing.....

    Hurricane thread?


    Worst Thread

    Thread?

    What's a hijacker / hijack ?

    Best poster - OoE overall definitely, Zraver technically/historically

    Best thread - Any thread on nuclear hypocrisy

    These are two I particularly enjoyed -

    What if Japan had not surrendered?

    Possible attack on Iran

    Hijacking a thread means someone posts in a thread and start to take the thread off topic. The best hijackers usually take the thread off topic without people noticing it going off topic. By the time anyone realized the thread had gone off topic, pages and pages of posts had gone by talking about something completely unrelated to the original topic.

    Which is why I'm keeping my eye on gunnut, making sure he doesn't hijack this thread. But where are gunnut's suggestions? Where are everyone else's suggestions?

    Nothing to worry about, Benny.

    Gunnut has lost it.

    Ever since he became addicted to that video game, he's just going through the motions.

    We can see one of his threadjacks coming a mile away....

    Dissappointing, really.

    Do not make fun of World of Tanks. It's a cheap first person shooter without being the usual reflex based first person shooter. French tanks will be added soon. I want to see if they really back up as fast as they go forwards.
