Regardless, it was the closest the Stats Topic ever came to falling
apart (which seems to be a yearly occurrence) and it was at times both
hilarious and painful to watch. The LUEshi topic was pretty close. --- "I never felt truly alive until I was staring death in the face." "I'll die...after I kill you." |

I try not to think about a lot of the stats topic for some reason this year. It seemed... painful. More so than usual. --- This was Ed Bellis. Rufus Shinra 18 took a shotgun to my bracket. Congrats, Guru champ! |

Yeah, there were definitely more tense moments than usual in the stats topic this year, and that's saying something. --- "I never felt truly alive until I was staring death in the face." "I'll die...after I kill you." |

As someone who has been on GameFAQs for almost 5 years now (lawl im so
cool), DSRage is a pretty common case. A lot of disliked users are
annoying for the simple fact that they are young/immature. I've seen a
lot of people who just became way cooler as time went on for the simple
fact that they grew older. --- hay guyz iv ben havng tuff times lately so be niec to me lol : ) |

23. Theo72 Probably knows more about games than you do. Remember what I said about how a lot of the posters here don't... really talk about games all that much? That's Theo's thing. When I made my "underrated user" list, had I decided to do users who were actually underrated and not just obscure, he would have been my easy pick for number one. What oli is to modern games, Theo is to classic ones; the dude is always up for some MAME or a speed run or anything fun like that. One of the coolest topics this year was something akin to "Guess the game from a blurb about it on Wikipedia." Theo owned it. Normally one of those "sidelines" users, Theo's always been a really cool guy with a lot to offer in terms of gaming knowledge and obsession. He doesn't flaunt it, which only makes it all the more appealing. Talk to the dude once in a while. You'll be pleasantly surprised. --- This was Ed Bellis.

Oh, and Icehawk, you're right. The same definitely holds true for,
among others, Dante and WVI, two of my best friends on the site. DSR
just happened to be... a really, really pronounced case. --- This was Ed Bellis. Rufus Shinra 18 took a shotgun to my bracket. Congrats, Guru champ! |

I remember you said Theo was one of the best people here, so I
should've seen that one coming. >.> Other than that, I only know
Theo for being a regular in a lot of Pleinair's topics, in which I used
to lurk. Seems like a cool guy, don't know him too well. --- Ok guys, I'm going to bed, when I wakeup, Jay better have like 60% on Link or its freaking Armageddon! ~ Kobe |

| ALthough, as cool as Theo is, he is obscuire as
you say. Maybe I'm a bit confused as to how you are ranking this user,
but aren't you kinda doing it off who contributed the most to B8 this
year? If so I definitely think Shine should be higher, and Theo should
maybe be in the 40s or something. Nothing against Theo, I like the guy,
but he is obscure. --- hay guyz iv ben havng tuff times lately so be niec to me lol : ) |

| They know who he is, but don't know much about
him. I don't want to sound like I'm complaining here, I just think that
a lot of the users below him "contibuted" more than him, in terms of
conversation, projects, whatever. --- hay guyz iv ben havng tuff times lately so be niec to me lol : ) |

Icey brings up a valid point, which again points to the subjectivity of
this list and how difficult to define "contribution" and "good user"
are. I keep referring to my initial question of "Did they make the
board a better place?" and sort of go from there. I'm a firm believer
that lurkers and "obscure" users can benefit the board as much as icons
and popular folks, just in different ways, and as you've probably
noticed I'm picking users from different areas of the board (not
intentionally, though). To a certain degree, of course, it all comes down to my own perspective of what they "did." And to me, Theo was one of the best users of the year by virtue of the things I described, which helped make the board a better place. It's not a perfect way of measuring people, of course, but what is? =) --- This was Ed Bellis. Rufus Shinra 18 took a shotgun to my bracket. Congrats, Guru champ! |

And I have already said that I don't think of "contributions" in strict
terms of user projects and contests and whatnot. Somebody can
contribute by doing what Theo does and posting a lot about video games,
or what Draco1214 does with sensible stats analysis. There's lots of
ways to be a good user. --- This was Ed Bellis. Rufus Shinra 18 took a shotgun to my bracket. Congrats, Guru champ! |

Ah. Well, I feel like a lot of the users that he does like are practically useless, and I couldn't care less about the projects that they've done... Some of them I feel that the board could do without. But even if they don't do anything for me, personally, they clearly do for other people, or those projects wouldn't be near as interesting. --- "I believe that words uttered in passion contain a greater living truth than do those words which express thoughts rationally conceived" - Sensei |

No, because there are only a select few people here who make anime and
Monster topics, while there are tons of users here who do user
contests. Not that I mind those, but... --- Ok guys, I'm going to bed, when I wakeup, Jay better have like 60% on Link or its freaking Armageddon! ~ Kobe |

The Monster thing used to be really bad, now that half the board has
watched it, it isn't as bad anymore. Meanwhile, off the top of my head,
there's like 3 user contests going on right now. --- hay guyz iv ben havng tuff times lately so be niec to me lol : ) |

The board could also do without your anime tournaments, and constant Monster topics Mumei >_>. Of course it could do without them. It might even be better for it. But I do it for myself, not for anyone else. And there's two Monster topics. =O And it has nothing to do with with dislike for any of those people - because I like (or have no opinion on) most of them, but there are just precious few people who I couldn't do without on this forum. If this forum boiled down to around twenty people I really liked, I'd probably like it a bit more. --- "I believe that words uttered in passion contain a greater living truth than do those words which express thoughts rationally conceived" - Sensei |
