also it seems like ultimatebob should've been on here

as the inventor of coolcoin, he has made us all rich (as long as the real treasure is the friends we made along the way)

Eh... Coolcoin was soooo 2019. 2020 was the year of brianmanahan for certain!

Ponyo deserves an honorable mention as well. His bromance with Elon Musk in 2020 was legendary!

BudAshes with the Haymaker. I think he also gets Comeback Forumer of the year, as I think he left us for several years, and returned early last year, dumping on people straight out the gate in such a delightful way?

I'm an IronWing kinda guy, too...but damn, BudAshes campaigning hard.

eh? I like the manahan, but let's be honest: his life has long been 2020 before 2020 was ever a meme.

2020 has exceeded even my lack of a life

before 2020, my record time without going inside a building i didn't live in was like 6 weeks

in 2020, that record of hermitage was shattered with an 8 month streak

So, the OP had a short list of 10 ATOTers. The poll only shows 5. I thought polls could have more than 5 options. There is not comedy options - or is there? There is not other option.
In any case, we should have had at least semifinals and then a final poll. Therefor, this poll sucks.

My write in candidate is @Perknose. At least when he posts, he has something to say ;)
For your kind information, you too were on the top 10 shortlist. The point is, I only wanted 5 poll options for simplicity, so I chose the top 5 from my opinion. 4 people not on the poll, that are in this thread, were in my shortlist.
For my SECOND nomination ... why not GOD-BOT ???

:eek:

Do you play Runescape, or old school runescape?
JFC: do you take shots of Haldol before you make your lists of things?
No.

Heads up for those joining. If you want to see my summary of the nominees, just look at the first post on this thread.

Since I see Shorty on the list this must be the coveted Masturbator of the Year award!

Muse: His mental masturbation is unmatched, but at his age I doubt he has the physical stamina to match Shorty's self ministrations.
Ironwood: Well we know he's got the hardwood for the deed but I don't see him having the will to wail on his willy when there is work to be done.
Me: The talent is there, but I just aint got the time. Maybe if I can retire early like Ponyo I could really focus on jacking it like I'm in San Diego.
Shorty: The favorite and reining champion, there is no doubt he is a giant(pun intended) in the field of pecker pulling.
Panino Manino: Clearly just a made up name when the OP ran out of nominees.
It was not a made up name.
Bellow was from the first post.
Now before I go on to the 5th one, I want this forum awards polling to be as diverse in viewpoints as possible, so the next person is a trump Supporter, and I do not mean that in a mean way, they even claim in different ways that they are a Trump supporter.
5. @Panino Manino My opinionated summary of them: Much newer to the forum from the others or me. Known to be a pro trump supporter. Mostly found in the tech forums (graphics cards, CPU, ect.), but are known to come to the Political forum as well. When it comes to the tech forums, they are a very helpful and nice person. However, when it comes to the political forum... I just want to leave it at a quote where they say they wish that the January 6th, insurrection "coup succeeds, hope the country enters a civil war. It's beyond time for murrica to taste it's own poison."

There is no way in hell I'm voting in this poll until you add brianmahahan to it. Brian WAS ATOT 2020 personified!
Fine i'll let you on who would have been the 5th one, if I did not want to be fair to Trump supporters. It would have been @esquared , he sorta tried helping me in job search, but other than that, did not see him post that often as perknose did.

OP, you know if you have 10, that's just about all of us. ;)
Awwww, poor baby! You're just misunderstood . . . like Taylor Swift or Stalin.
So true. Thanks @biostud



It's alright, my friend, no one blames you anymore. Mostly because you outlived them but still...💛

I was going to post that! :D

Yeah, 2020 will go down as the year when Coolcoin stopped working as a reward token because Ethereum's fees went through the roof. Right now, the latest transaction price for sending 100 tokens is $18.72. Insanity.
