2006 Clannie nomination thread

The 2006 Clannies are back!! Avenger is taking a little hiatus, so I volunteered to help him out with this years awards.

I ask that you keep this to nomination thread only. This will make it easier to weed through the nominations.

Here are the rules:

1. Nominate one - and only one - poster/thread for each category. If you nominate more than one in a single category, the nomination won't be counted.

2. Mods and banned posters are not eligible for the individual categories. You may nominate a thread started by a Mod as Thread of the Year.

3. Each poster/thread receiving at least 2 nominations will be placed on a poll to determine the winner.

4. Nominations must be made before 12:00 noon EST on June 4, 2006. After that, the polls will go up.

Here are this year's categories.

Most Valuable Poster
Which poster brings the most to ClanRam to help make it the best Ram site on the web?

Most Knowledgeable Poster
Which poster provides the best information and insight regarding the Rams and the NFL?

Poster You'd Like to Have a Beer With
Which Clan member seems like the kind of guy/gal you'd like to toss back a cold one with?

Breakout Poster
Which poster has, in the past 12 months, established him or herself as an up-and-coming member of the Clan?

Funniest Poster
Who makes you laugh?

Best Board Catalyst
Whether by posting interesting topics, or stirring the pot with a bit of controversy, who does the best job of keeping things hopping?

Mod of the Year
After lots of concern last year for the mods not being able to be nominated for the awards, here is your chance to give a little love back. Which one of the mods brings it to the table every day? Which one is the most rounded and tries to create the best environment for your enjoyment??

Thread of the Year
So many threads - which was the best?

So, get your nominations in now!

Wow. Talk about some hard choices.

After much, often interrupted research, (remember, I am the only male in a house full of females...even the dogs are female!) I finally came up with a list I believe might make the cut. To those who move on to the voting: Congratulations! To those who didn't: Don't take it bad. Every member of ClanRam is a valuable person....except Bernie M. and LOTR.:tongue:
