It's always difficult to choose these categories, but over the years its now hard to choose not because there's a healthy amount of competition, but those who once shined above the general population are now secluded in small little pockets of Newgrounds. Newgrounds is now left with flavors of the month, with the rest being seasonal taboo subjects spawning from every other corner of the net. The whole internet in general use to be a scattered bunch of interesting sites where each offered it's own unique brand. Now the net is just a cespool of entertainment spawned from larger sites and pissed along to every other site. Nothing is original anymore; just passed along and recycled. Hell; you can't even choose a clear winner for the shit categories because not 1 person really stands out as worse than everyone.
That's how bad it has gotten. I know I'm not around as much to notice people (I've read all the nominations so far and I'm still scratching my head at half of them), but may as well give it a shot. I doubt I'll feel like voting because I probably won't even recognize half of the finalists.
Funniest User
Fuck this shit. I use to actually cry from laughing at topics so hard before, but now I actually find myself limiting smart-ass remarks because the tripe I see handed out as conversation pieces here sometimes is ridiculous. However, JadeTheAssassin at least tries to humor the masses. Thankfully someone realizes the need for funny here and does their part to contribute.
Biggest Attention Whore
Cellardoor6 no fucking doubt. I would've voted him as funniest user except he's serious about what he says. Even more is he signed his life away to prove a point. Trust me; I won't think anything different of you just because you joined the Marines to fight for what you believe in. Get the hell over yourself.
Drama Queen
Cellardoor6 for the same reasons above. Plus have you ever seen him carry on an argument in the Politics forum? Jesus Christ!
Never Logs Off
Does this ever change? ZeroAsALimit.
I Miss Yew
Sadly this is the only category that I can find a clear choice; bigbadron. Regardless of what he did as a mod, he actually made worth-reading posts. Fucking sucks that he grew up though.
Best Artist
Fuck; I don't think I've paid any attention to "artists" in any recent time. I'll vote for Luis because to this day I still laugh at this picture. Plus he draws shit and stuff, whatever.
Master Creator
If I ever see a topic made by FUNKbrs, several things hold true. First; I can always recognize it was made by him just by the title. Second; I always open it. Third; even if I don't agree with it I always read and enjoy the whole thing.
Rookie of the Year
I can never pick a person for this since I usually only know someone is relatively new based on them making some retarded comment. I was even surprised to find out that MoriChax is "new." Well I guess she gets this vote since she's not an idiot.
Most Improved
One of the few people that I've actually seen around for some time long enough to actually note difference in their posting is Idiot-Finder; and he actually has become a better poster in ways. For starters all of his topics aren't random "photoshop this picture" topics anymore.
Biggest Spammer
I guess it's "spam" but it's actually funny 99.9% of the time. My vote goes to Minion777.
Most Overrated
I already know this person is going to have something to say about this (I thought this even before recent events). My vote though is preceded with a question; who in the hell is EyeLovePoozy? My only guess is he's the next Sarai; known for some arbitrary reason, modded because "hey I heard of that dude," and known only because he puts his name out there.
Most Underrated
FUNKbrs, who also got my vote for best creator deserves this since none of you seem to realize that he provides this forum with what it so desperately needs; original insight and topics for people to discuss. His topics aren't "HEY GUYS CHECK THIS OUT LOL," yet I see people bash him for actually doing what more of you need to do; TALKING!!!
Worst Moderator
The only reason I vote for EyeLovePoozy is because he lacks 2 essential things; logic and reason.
Best Moderator
I vote Sanjay only because he always demonstrates 2 essential things; logic and reason. Maybe my vote above can learn from him.
Worst Poster
Wow; what a narrow category. Fine; I guess I'll choose CartoonDiablo since I don't seem to have ever seen a single post from him in which I said "that needed to be posted."
Best Poster
Similar to how I won in 2006, I would say the funniest person on Newgrounds is also be best poster, so my vote goes to JadeTheAssassin. Seriously; Newgrounds needs popular users once more. They either get modded or grow up.
Well there's my fucking opinion; go fuck off.
