Pwnage of the year 2012: voting thread

[CPA]

wait, wait, wait, wait, where the hell is Dave's Vinegar thread? Wasn't that this year?

edit: okay, I just owned myself. Dave's vinegar thread was started in 2010. damn, where has the time gone?

 

[Born2bwire]

I just can't choose. Texashiker or airdata? moonbogg or cheez?

I'll go with:

2

But I still had a good laugh about cheez. Putting the subwoofer in a cabinet and waxing his cables and boxes. Tearing up the wall to install a European outlet in a house that he rents. That's some good shit right there.

Jesus though I still can't tell if #7 is forreal or not

#8, because if you read through the thread, it's not just moonbogg. There are a number of individuals. I think Zeze was one who posted that nothing's going on and the entire thing was blown out of proportion. Then he posted, there's water around his building. Then, he didn't post again for a week. Without rereading through that thread, it seems like there were 4 or 5 who sided with moonbogg. (Or, maybe they were in another one of the threads on the topic.)


Honorable mention at least for 4,5,and 9.

 

[Number1]

#6.

Not only was Cheez unable to listen to any kind of rational advises, he went on to wholeheartedly endorse Audiotruth, one of the biggest fraud who ever posted at Anandtech.

Just read Cheez's sig to get an idea of the lunacy involved.

Where's the poll so we can vote?

Patience..we need to narrow down the field just a bit.

Yea there were lots of mentions in lots of threads. I think I heard that zeze died in the nef thread for instance. But then in the Sandy thread, they said he just lost power.

In that order.

How about getting this stickied for a week once you have your poll up?

1. Ok and I love when people have old posts thrown in their face, get mad, and yell "stalker" at the other person, high comedy. Too short and not enough ownage to win.

2. Classic ownage. Idiocy from the OP, then when everyone beats them down with evidence to the contrary, trying to spin out of it by saying he's trolling/just kidding (classic ownage maneuver) . I like this one a lot.

3. Troll thread, not an ownage thread. If you look at Muse's threads/posts in other subforums, he is obviously not this stupid. DISQUALIFIED.

4. Quality self-ownage, but too much regret and self-flagellation for it to be a great ownage thread. I don't want to feel bad for the ownage candidate which I do here.

5. Good one, though the thread itself is a little shorter than I would have liked; not quite enough back and forth. Maybe it was closed too soon?

6. I think Cheez is just an epic troll also I don't necessarily call it ownage unless the OP gets very irate trying to defend his thread/opinion and/or going into the denial phase like I mentioned in #2. It is ownage, since we all know better, but the reactions are just not there to make it as fun as I would normally like from an ownage thread.

7. Same as #6.

8. Good one and I think moonbogg turned and ran after seeing what actually transpired. Probably my second favourite so far.

9. How did you choose only one Texashiker thread? As always owned, then denial and attack. Another good one.

10. Ok, not great. Too short.

11. I don't get this one. Am I missing something??

12. Mild ownage, but not all that interesting and boring because the person never seemed to return.

13. Amusing I suppose, but not great. more a rail against speculative reporting than any actual ownage.

14. This is awesome. Complete denial and an attempt to back out of the post by reinterpreting what he said and how contests work. Excellent stuff.

15. I want to choose this one, but I think we need to keep this one reserved for 2013. Still a little too open-ended at this point.

So I think I would rank them:

14
2
9
8
1
5
10
12
4
13
6
7
11
15
3

9, I guess.

 

[Blackjack200]

Wait a minute, I just went back and read the Texashiker thread (#9). So not only did he deny saying something he had just said, and get immediately called on it, he also bitched about scientists not finding a vaccine for Hep C, and then one was announced later that same day ?!?!

Lol, I don't know man, I thought it was 8 by a mile, but 9 is suddenly tempting.

How is Alky's thread not on this list?

Wasn't nominated.

 

[schneiderguy]

To clarify, #11 (my thread) was nominated because of JohnOfSheffield's posts in it. He's a known troll and SAS impersonator.

 

[IronWing]

You missed the Happy Holidays thread.

thanks for clarifying. i was going to say JOS (I'm SAS damnit! please believe me!) proved yet once again what a sack of shit he is.

 

[artvscommerce]

Wasn't nominated.

Ah, I see. Well I guess there's always next year, Bro.

 

[HumblePie]

If I lose my case it would be ownage on me, but if I win my case, does everyone that trolled me get that award then? That's a lot of awards to hand out.

 

[moonbogg]

8. Good one and I think moonbogg turned and ran after seeing what actually transpired. Probably my second favourite so far.

I stopped posting after I was punished for trolling. It was a good laugh but not worth losing the use of the forums over.

 

[HumblePie]

for 2013 I would personally nominate this one.

1012 was so long ago, surprised the links still work.

Shit internet has been around over 1000 years?

 

[JujuFish]

poll allows only ten choices...

Perhaps a playoff system, then.

 

[Ns1]

I would think so. Make atot proud.

 

[JM Aggie08]

Can we keep a running tally in the OP?

4 - for potentially ruining an innocent person's life.
