Here It Is! The 2013 606v2 Boxing Poster Awards!!!STOP BEING LAZY AND CAST YOUR VOTES TO CONTINUE A TIME HONOURED 606 TRADITION!!

First topic message reminder :

It’s that time of year fellow members of the 606v2 boxing fraternity, the time to appreciate our peers, adversaries and for some perhaps even ‘friends’ here on 606. Continuing a tradition set by Jabmachine2k and last year Seanusarrilius; I bring to you the 606v2 2013 Boxing Poster End Of Year Awards.

I am sure you will all agree that 2013 has been another great year for our boards, many great debates have been had, some heated arguments have occurred and of course from time to time anarchy and chaos has arisen. Yet we finish the year arguably stronger than ever. We have seen new members come, old ones go…but the place remains somewhere where we can all enjoy and discuss the fascinating yet often frustrating sport that is boxing. We have the V2 Journal going strong and a podcast which continues to garner new listener’s week on week.

None of this happens without everyone on this forum however, and these awards give all of us an opportunity to show our appreciation to those we feel deserve it.

As always we have a wide variety of awards up for grabs…and the recipients of these prestigious awards will be decided by all of you.  

You can vote for the same poster in multiple categories. Obviously you may feel that some warrant a few awards…ultimately the people will have the final say. ALL VOTES MUST BE SUBMITTED BY PM TO ME!!

So the award categories are as follows:

1. The HumanWindmill Poster Of The Year Award – In honour of the late great Windy – We ask who has this year been our most valuable poster…they get good debates going, contribute to others & just generally make this place better.

2. Article of The Year – Which one article did you enjoy reading most in 2013

3. Rookie of The Year – An award for the newbie’s; which pimple faced rookie has most impressed?

4. Most Knowledgeable Poster: Whose boxing knowledge raises our collective IQ the Most?

5. Unsung Hero Award: Which poster hasn’t received the credit you feel they deserve? Show it now

6. I am Sparta – I mean 606v2 Boxing: Which poster lives & breathes the site; working day & night to make this a better place.

7. Guilty Pleasure Award: Who, despite your best senses telling you otherwise, do you secretly love seeing post? I won’t tell, I promise.

8. WUM of the year Award: They tickle and they torment. Who has done it best in 2013?

9. Most Loved Poster: We love him and we need him on our forum. Who is 606 most beloved poster?

10. Funniest Poster Award: Wit, Comedic Timing, King of Put Downs: Which posters make you laugh most?

11. Stubborn Mule: Whose unrelenting defence of a single topic/boxer has impressed you most in 2013 perhaps they even got you round to agreeing with them?

12. Most Influential Poster: When they type we listen? Which posters have the most influence on our great forum?

13. Feistiest Poster Award: Who is the poster most likely to go to war on the forum?

14. Lake Placid Award: Don’t bother trying to annoy this guy; for they won’t bite.

15. The Best Threads Award: Who has had the best number of articles in 2013?


RULES

1. When you PM me your answers, please do so in single file list, with answers on their own. eg.

Windy
Seanusarrilius
Azania
Steffan

This will make tallying a lot easier for me.

2. Please do not discuss your nominations below. By all means laugh and joke about whatever, but let's keep the suspense if possible, otherwise what's the point?

3. You cannot vote for yourself. This is a chance for us to show our appreciation for each other, so let's do that?

Ok, can't think of any other points. All common sense really. After January 3rd I will post a date for the ceremony. I will refresh this thread throughout the coming weeks so everyone sees it. Feel free to do the same.

My hope is that everyone gets involved in this, we have had great turn outs in voting for the past couple of years and I would really like to see it continue, as I am sure those who conducted before me would like also. To those chaps, thanks for the thumbs up in allowing me to do this...hopefully I do it justice and go down more like James Corden at the Brit Awards than Jonathon Ross at the Comedy Awards!!

Cheers guys,

Owen

To be fair fingers, I had put it up in Decemeber just before xmas, then realised many wouldn't be on over that period so extended the deadline. So it's actually only been up 3 weeks; which is about the norm for these awards. You may be getting mixed up with other awards threads which are title 606V2 awards, but these are for the magazine and a different thing entirely.

As Paul said; you need not vote in all of the categories; a point which was stressed in the OP...if you only feel you can cast a fair vote in 1 or 2 then feel free to just send me those. Anything is better than nothing.

To be honest I'm pretty fed up of doing stuff on this site at the moment which people ask to be done and then no commitment is made on other peoples behalf! Given people have felt the need to comment on having one, comment on being the one who started it, then put there two pence in as to the awards on offer, length of time votings gone on for etc etc....then not actually voted (something they could have done in the time they spent whining etc) it's fair to say it's left me pretty p**sed off and questioning whether I will bother doing stuff for this forum in future.

I'm not getting confused mate owen, if memory serves me right seanus ran it last year? Maybe that was the year before? Did he ever run it? I'm doubting my memory now! I don't visit the magazine or listen to the podcasts though I keep promising myself to start.

Try not to get too stressed my friend, it's just abit of fun.

Even though people don't sing it from the rafters I'm sure everyone is appreciative.

I'll vote in the categories I feel I can.

The magazine hasn't launched yet, so I'm glad you've not spent ages searching for it

He means the journal I hope!

I would guess so.

Haha! Yes journal.

Anyway my votes are cast.

Cheers 3fingers,

Poor guy came on thinking he was sane, after all that he'll be checking himself in for memory tests come tomorrow.
