Can we nominate the announcement thread where AnandTech was sold off? Anand trolled us good on that one, basically we have all been self-owned for investing so much time on these forums only to have it go to waste...

Were you expecting some sort of payback for investing time on an internet forum?

Was that time somehow saved up if the forums weren't sold?

I don't think that word means what you think it means.

Anyway, IIRC, this used to be "ownage of the year" and not "self-ownage of the year." I think what happened some years ago is that incidents of self-ownage, clearly in their own tier of magnificence, dominated the trophy, so I guess, maybe, it was renamed?

I think this should qualify as ownage--yes, I believed it wasn't your soup. (self-ownage would be continued denial from my part, which never happened)

I will leave it up to the voters to determine whether or not my expectation of being owned as soon as I posted that, should qualify for a nomination. Meaning, I wouldn't say it was engineered so much as I fully understood the gravity of my comment, and was more than willing to suffer the consequences.

Well! If "Ownage of the year" is in play:I nominate zinfamous for :http://forums.anandtech.com/showthread.php?t=2411379

If it's "self-ownage" then my vote goes here: http://forums.anandtech.com/showthread.php?t=2386357 The recipient should be self-explanatory. :awe:

I think eits wins. that was one hell of a thread

I never added the "Luck vs RG3" thread to the OP until today. I don't follow football, so I can't full-understand the ownage. I gather that eits has an extremely optimistic view of his favorite player in spite of that player's performance versus another player that was given similar opportunity.

You make poll thread!
