Hunter scooped Marx! I nominate Hunter for Dick of the Year!

You're not delicious.

As you may or may not know, this award is one of the most important of all of the awards because it recognizes members who are true pillars of this website. More often than not, the awards turn into a popularity contest which means that some of the most deserving members of our board are overlooked in favor of who is currently the most popular. To offset that factor, it has been decided that the Hype-Time Achievement Award will once again have two recipients. The first recipient will be decided as it always has been - by popular vote. The second recipient will only be decided by a select group of seven posters called "The Committee".​

The Committee members have already been chosen and consist of currently active founding members of the Hype as well as previous winners of this award. With the start of a new decade, it is very important to remember those that have had a profound impact on this website alongside those who are currently popular. I have complete faith in the members of this committee to provide us with another great recipient of this award!​

 

[Erzengel]

Pffft. Hunter already told us that.

 

[Marx]

I've been scooped!

I thought Marx had explained that there will be two Hype-Time achievement winners this year?

where?

edit: i pays to read the next page before posting

 

[Marx]

I didn't explain it prior to the announcement today. All I said before was that "an announcement was coming".

 

[Anubis]

Personally, I think it should just be one winner picked by the committee. The fact that Dew and C.Lee haven't won already is a travesty in and of itself.

 

[Erzengel]

Well, maybe they would have won in 2009 , BUT I do understand where they are coming from. Most of the newer posters here aren't familiar with Dew. And it all takes is for an older poster to be somewhat popular in the Fall for them to win.

 

[Anubis]

Which is really why you have the It Boy/Girl category.

 

[Erzengel]

But most people realize that this award is for someone who's considered a veteran or oldbie.

Well the smarter ones.

 

[Anubis]

I think it's a feat in and of itself for managing to have been around as long as I have without managing to get perma-banned.

 

[Erzengel]

Have you, always had the name Anubis?

 

[Anubis]

Yup.

I got banned once by accident though, but that got overturned.

Personally, I like the idea of Hype-Time Achievement being only appointment by committee... though there's a potential for a deserving Committee member to either get left out because of their station or get ragged on for getting the award.

I just think that two award winners in a year takes away from each other. If it's a tie then that's understandable and respectable, but in the committee/voting process I just feel like it takes away from it.

That's just me though.

 

[ComicChick]

like hall of fame members only getting to vote for their next inductee?

that might be a possible route for next year

 

[Erzengel]

There's been like 5 winners? Those even number years could be a b' though.

 

[Anubis]

Which is why they're tossing in a few select oldbies.

 

[Hush]

I'm insulted I wasn't incited to the comitee but alas it's all good in the neighborhood.

 

[C. Lee]

Wow, didn't expect the nominations...thanks to those who did.

I nominate Dew and TheManofBat.

...last year was legitimately a tie. As far as this award ONLY being decided on by a committee, I'm torn.

Well...you didn't join in 2000 and you haven't won this particular award before.

 

[Hush]

I said it's all good in the neighborhood. No need to point out logic and reasoning!
