It's that time of year again, folks. :beer::D

Official Rules
1. You cannot nominate yourself.
2. Links are highly suggested but not required, since sometimes the really brutal ownage gets deleted. If such is the case, member testimonials must be available.
3. Limited to Anandtech (full site, not just OT) - no "funny videos", etc.

Suggested Categories
It has been suggested that the Ownage be broken down into more specific subcategories, like any other awards show. Suggested ones include
1. Ownage of the Year
2. Best Technical Ownage
3. Best Ownage per Forum
4. Best YAGT-related Ownage
5. Best Ownage delivered photographically

--- The Nominees ---

Loke vs the World
The thread that shall live on in infamy.

Airsofter gets owned by Shadownight and an Internet flash.
After Airsofter experiences a series of events similar to The Ring, he panics and posts a thread. Hilarity ensues.

Philippine Mango Exposed
remagavon pulls out a huge list of posts showing PM's trolling habits.

Neffer Of The Year
The fourteenth post sums it up nicely.

Miss USA Smokes?
Member pontifex, forgetting his earlier post on how hard it is to find women, posts that he'd never date a woman who smokes. iamwiz82 digs up the old thread, and pontifex attempts a ninjaedit on his old post.

I hate my gf's parents!!!!
Myspace clashes with ATOT as teenage hormones meet parental maturity.

This is what happens to racist punks in the real world
When Keeping It Real Goes Wrong, biggiesmallz seems to think that two drunk people fighting is inherently racially related. Upon seeing his nomination, he makes a less than gracious acceptance.

QUICK LOAN. MAKE A FEW
TySnyder ignores the "if it sounds too good to be true" adage of old, and is pwned by quoting.

Anandtech Pwnerator
A nested quote-fest ends in the ban of many, many members.

Markkleb is confused about shipping
Amazon is not a local hardware store. They have to charge for shipping. Markkleb does not understand this.

HUGE PROBLEMS with Monarch Computer
EvolutionWRC gets it from multiple angles in this thread.

**Gatsby is "Supermodel" Material
The man whose name cannot be spoken, lest this post dissapear! With "Mccauley Culkin good looks", J.L.G's quotations make up this thread. Sampson lets him have it near the end.

My boyfriend made me join Anandtech
Provoking automatic "shens" at the idea of a female joining AT, jndietz and rachelmb own almost everyone in the thread. Pic.

SHAME ON YOU NEW EGG
"Supply and demand" evidently weren't taught at "BTRY B 529th FA BN"s high school.

the uber credit card
AznMthr doesn't believe that Azurik actually has a coveted Amex Black card. Six minutes later, he is proven wrong.

tec699 tries, and fails, to convince AT that he has money.
LikeLinus shows that tec699 is, at best, "regular ballin" rather than the millions he attempted to portray.

thatguyant hadn't thought about the repercussions of plotting a con on an online forum.

Plane + Treadmill
The Sequel
Physics and common sense own dozens of ATOTers.

DVK916 forgets to wear his Nomex suit when trying to start a flamewar.

Syringer insists that Wendy's doesn't sell square burgers.
myusername promptly offers photographic proof that as we all knew, Syringer is a moron.

Physics vs ATOT, mark II
ATOT member Titan confuses Physics and Philosophy.

Is it illegal for government building to have christmas things?
StatsManD gets uppity about a nativity scene, and gets his ass handed to him by believers and nonbelievers.

Grab Bag Sempron Hot Deal
rgreen83 makes a play for Best Technical Ownage on eits by slapping him with a half-dozen benchmarks.

9/11 conspiracy theorists multiply
SP33Demon demonstrates his epic stupidity and disregard for common sense and physics in Yet Another Conspiracy Thread.

Emmy Plane Crash Skit
Mill cries insensitivity over a skit on TV ... iamwiz82 proceeds to link an old thread where he claimed he had cancer as an April Fool's joke. Ownage ensues.

IMaN00BieGF's welcome thread
Another case of insta-shens on a female member, IMaN00BieGF proves everyone wrong with a special pictorial burn to her209.

Cheers!

Loke wins the ownage of the decade and the ownage of the century if it ever gets there.

EvolutionWRC gets it from multiple angles in this thread.
I would argue The Fox didn't so much get owned, as he was right, and everyone who flamed him kinda got owned, since Monarch apparently did go out of business and screw people over.
Best reverse ownage?

How did Loke own anyone, he got mad he didn't get made Mod and took it out on the site.

Not to mention the way he coyly flaunted that he had discovered a hole made it obvious he could still exploit it.


Either way things are better without the pathetic self pitying guy.

"Philippine Mango Exposed," "tec699 tries, and fails, to convince AT that he has money. " and the "**Gatsby " are too close for me to choose just one. This was a good year for pwnage of the year.

I propose a new category called "Goku's threads".

Loke wins hands down, and he showed commendable restraint by not locking out the mods and trashing the forums.
I lurk at another forum he visits, and the only time he's even mentioned the event was when someone asked him about it, and he refused to give out any information, so he gets bonus points for keeping his mouth shut.

I got banned in that one. IIRC I was probably one of the instigators.

Added Emmy Plane Crash and IMaN00BieGF's thread (Thanks Quasmo!)

The thread search is horrible. I can't find them at all. :(
