The Best Poster in SMP

[Subfallen]

[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] everyone.

Peter666 is the most interesting poster to me because he seems completely insane and yet charming all at once.

Its hard for me to separate "has lots and lots of posts and some of them are bound to be good" from like the consistently best poster. And there are lots of really good posters. So, considering I'm probably overweighting posting history, my favorite SMP posters are luckyme, chezlaw and madnak, in no particular order. Honorable mentions: Metric, Subfallen, ChrisV (he doesnt post as much any more but I'm shocked no one mentioned him) and then a bunch more I guess.

EDIT: Oh and definitely Phil.

We should put more emphasis on these posters. They totally kick more ass than anyone else.

Agreed. And I have like 3000 more posts than you now so...

I just wanted to pop in and add that as much as I disagree with him on a few topics, Phil153 probably makes me think about things and work hard to clarify my positions the most. I think that should count as part of what constitutes the "best" poster.

Most of the people people have mentioned are pretty awesome. Chez, vhawk, luckyme, borodog, ChrisV, bunny, madnak, lestat . . . basically anybody who posts here regularly is pretty solid. It seems like what happens is that some random people come in, get torn to shreds by the intelligent and poignant commentary and then slink away embarrassed. If you're still posting, you probably have some skills.

I love all the regular posters, including Splendour!

When I first stumbled accross SMP, Foal was my #1 poster, and I still think his posts are spot on. I have never seen him be wrong on any subject, and would endorse 99% of his posts.

Then I (in my mind) promoted Phil as my favourite, mainly due to work done in geo-political threads, where I am pretty sure he is SMP god. Prove me wrong.

Then the philosolophical prowess of Madnak and Subfallen started to play on my mind, and I quickly became aware that the man for the job depended on the job.

While trying to balance all my above favourites, I was occasionally struck to my core in the most profoumd way by metric's posts. Few and far between, but they hurt.

I have to admit that one poster that seems to come in the top 3 of most people's list that I miss from mine is Vhawk. and the reason is pretty petty. I just hate posts that quote a whole book when they want to comment on the last sentance.

I also like conversing with NotReady, tamedueces and Taraz. I find our conversations refreshing.

I am sure there are more.

Excellent point and I think this says much about people like NotReady. Although I'll probably never see things his way, he hangs in there with the best of them.

vhawk, I keep my pocket dictionary at hand when reading his posts. madnak is pretty much the man too. Also, posters i enjoy: lestat,tame dueces,and luckyme. Jay shark for the math end. Splendour for fueling the fire.

Edit: oh yeah, phil that damn twit
vhawk strikes again
