Too bad now the real #1's going to be an even bigger letdown. :(

1. Applekidjosh
The REAL user of the year.

I like to talk about a paradigm shift (big word, look it up) in Board 8 over the past year. The board as a whole has moved away from the random, witty humor and absurd drama that made it a fun place in 2003, and while many vets have seen this as reason to leave, other, newer users have taken it upon themselves to fill the void with something entirely new: a genuine sense of community.

And that what is Applekidjosh is the user of the year: because he, more than anyone else - hell, even more than me, Mister Nice Guy Supremo - is all about reaching out, making friends, and genuinely making this message board feel like a real community. Josh himself said it best: Do you have "trolls" in your groups of friends? Do you have people pretending to be girls? Why hang around people who act like jackasses? Josh has, more than anyone else here, made this board a more friendly, open community all throughout 2006.

As a board we've lived vicariously through Josh's life. He kept us briefed on his attempts to lose weight for DDR competitions. He posed nude for us and gave away his own money, both non-consecutively. His own girlfriend even became a poster! Josh's openness to share with us has led to others sharing with him, and thus sharing with each other: he's currently doing a topic a day or so talking with a "new user," which just goes to show how committed he is to making Board 8 a real, genuine community.

There is no other user this year that sums up the best of Board 8 like Josh does. One of the nicest guys on the board, bar none, a class act when it comes to treating people well and with genuine respect, funny, charming, awesome... User of the Year. Congrats, Josh, and thanks. You've earned it.

joshua has had a lot come up in the last couple of months, one of which was his hard drive getting fried or something like that. he's slowly returning when he has time, and when school starts again tomorrow he'll probably be back on a permanent basis.

Wow, Ed, I'm not gonna be modest here, I fully expected to be on this list somewhere... but by the time we were in the top 10 I kinda thought I well... wasn't gonna be. Jeez, #4? Glad to see I'm appreciated by some people!

... what do you mean I should be in shock and awe at the revealed #1 and not talking about my prestigious #4 spot? Psh.

This has been a preposterously fun series of topics, guys. I've wanted to do this for a while now and I'm so glad people enjoyed it. Agree or disagree, I had a blast and I hope you all did too.

And, on a personal level, thanks to everyone here for making 2006 awesome for me as well. I spent a lot of damn time here on this board and I wouldn't do it if I didn't enjoy it. From the bottom of my heart, thanks, anonymous strangers !!
