Though there were those that tried to do this before, Mr. Pedro is known for being the creator of the Toon Zone Member Awards. Starting in 2004 (http://forums.toonzone.net/showthread.php?t=130135) with his goofy idea to recognize some beloved people in the Toon Zone [Yes, there is a space! /old TZ meme] community, Pedro created something we'd remember and enjoy participating in for years to come [see 2005's thread here (http://forums.toonzone.net/showthread.php?t=159509), and 2006's here (http://forums.toonzone.net/showthread.php?t=186567)].

After I begged and pleaded, my good friend let me take over his baby this year. I learned that it was a bigger challenge then I thought, but it was still cool to do. And luckily, I had KuwabaraTheMan to help me out. Due to certain circumstances, he won't be able to help me finish this.

Thus, it is that time of year again. After dealing with a lot of personal stuff, as well as TZ based issues, this no longer has to be prolonged. Know why? Because I don't care anymore. But to stop some people from bugging me [/coughsIshtarcoughs], I've decided to just truck on. So let us begin!


Up first, Best Meme presented by Ishtar-

Greetings, fellow Toon Zoners. This next award is dedicated to that one running joke many of us love to say over and over and over again so freaking much that it stays in your mind forever, even if the rest of you can’t stand it! That's right, it's the award for the best meme of 2007! Before we announce the winner, let's look back at last year's best meme:
Uhh just wondering but...WHO THE HECK IS HITLER some movie villain I dont no about?Or some villain that for some reason I did not no abouthttp://www.forums.toonzone.net/images/smilies/sweat.gif

That's right, it was the infamous "Who's Hitler?" meme made famous by our very own Megaman X! Of course, there have been quite a few great memes this past year, but only one will be crowned victorious! The nominees are as follows....

Best Meme:
-WTFcow?-
-Golly gosh, ya think?-
-Over 9,000-
-Screw the Rules-
-Haku is dead, Kakashi killed him-

And the winner is... Over 9,000!!!!


Thank you, Ishtar. Since I'm not sure of if Toon Zone will let me link, if you want to find the clip, you know how to Google. And alas, Toon Zone does not have over 9,000 active members. But I'm sure Vegeta loves you guys and gals all the same. Congrats to OVER 9,000~!!! May we continue to abuse you on the internet and beyond.

After this short break, we'll check out what Delia is wearing to the red carpet tonight... or the Best/Worst Spam Thread will be presented by veemonjosh. Stay tuned, kids.

a DBZ meme won? That's cool. It is a pretty popular one, after all.

Most of the other memes were pretty mediocre.

Not surprised Over 9000 won, despite the age.

Next, Best/Worst Spam Thread presented by veemonjosh-

Spam threads have always been a hilarious staple on Toon Zone. From DuelistGoku's toaster ads to Matt Wilson's "lunch, brb", they've been our breakaway from the harshness of forum rules.

Last year, a member asked the simple question "Can you fly a plane using farts for an engine?", which we turned it into one of the best spam threads ever (for the lulz, of course). However, due to the thread, purposely turning threads into spam was outlawed on the form, forcing people to create new ways of being spammy.

To which they did.

Some people this year (*cough*Kuwa*cough*) posted over and over again that they were leaving in the Comings and Goings thread. Other people witnessed the hilarity of a member named Owner trying to promote crappy fanboards and blame Super Sonic for going advanced on him. There was also Ms. Jarrel, the best teacher to ever be on Toon Zone, teaching us about having sex with biker boyfriends in sheds involving hammers. And lastly, there was CN's 100 episode Naruto marathon, which gave birth to Uzumaki Hansen and Orochikitty.

However, only one spam thread can come up on top. This year's winner is... any owner thread!


Thank you, Josh~! I'm not sure if owner has another persona on the boards right now that the mods haven't noticed, but my sources haven't told me that he has popped up again. Thus, all I can offer you kids is a link to his forum: http://srenfropublicboards.5forum.info/index.htm Have fun with that. =D


While on the topic of curious behavior... why don't we see who won Best n00b 2007? The lovely J'onn J'onzz is presenting-

Whatever people will say about Toon Zone in 2007, and believe me, I wasn't exactly one of TZ '07's biggest fans, you have to admit it had good noobs.

Ms Jarrel was an instant classic. People couldn't wait to nominate her for best noob. I probably shouldn't go in depth on this one since most of the backstory is unknown to the public, so I'll just give props to DarkGundam for making a spam account just as good as your first.

Owner was insane. There's not a lot more to say about him. Okay, there is. I'm going to rant about him for quite a while here. He's just that messed up. The guy's made like 20 forums, and he's so hated on the internet that every single forum he's made, and he's made TONS, has been hacked. Either by idiotic mod choices, like people who publicly bash him, or by people whose forums he stole layouts and descriptions from. This guy honestly has no purpose in making these message boards anymore. The original was about Ed, Edd, N Eddy, and now they're about... I have no idea. There's a whole section devoted to times he was hacked, and another devoted to his hundred page list of rules. Props to daniel and all your other five hundred accounts you made while claiming they were your “friend”.

Jeff_iz_xlent was fake. Fake as hell. His biography was all lies. Not to say that owner's wasn't; I don't think anyone believes owner was a 60 year old woman in the hospital. But Jeff's was just blatant lies. He claimed to be a teacher, but he couldn't type to save his life. Or at least he acted like he couldn't. Sometimes he typed regularly, other times not. His fakeness was so blatant, but that was part of his charm. Honestly, he mentioned being deaf in his profile, but he never mentioned that in any of his posts. I understand that he could have gotten over his disability, but a deaf teacher? I could only understand that if he were teaching deaf kids. Which I suppose is a possibility. But he wouldn't really pick up dialect the way he did without hearing. It's easier just to not believe any of his garbage. Props to lavenderpaw on this one.

Lastly, YoshiAngemon. I don't know, man. I've talked to him. He's just totally out there. I can't even express how weird he is. He's like, on drugs, 24/7, but all childish and clean, you know? I can't even explain him. He's just too... too obsessed with the entertainment world. One time after veemonjosh yelled at him, he referred to Josh as “grumpier than Shrek, in Shrek The Halls!” It's just so awkward talking to someone who is so totally detached from life that he compares anger to a lame Shrek Christmas special.

Will these guys be remembered as well as classics like JWL, and RaveMaster1? Maybe. It's been months since owner was banned, and Toon Overlord still suspects most spammers as being “owner's thugs”, so at least he's been remembered this long.

I could complain about Timbox not being on here. But I think I've complained about Timbox being on here for quite a while.

[and here's the winner; the presenters won't tell me who it is so I'm leaving it blank :(]

owner2637~!!

Since we were not able to contact owner, here's a random LOLcat:

Thanks, owner... we still love you.

Guys, please keep things calm and not derogatory. Also, we do not allow discussion of previously banned members, especially negative discussion. This is your only warning.

The Guitar Slayer
02-27-2008, 12:48 PM
In addition to what Zach said, flaming from either side of this debate will not be tolerated. I've already had to delete one post, and I will be PM'ing others to perhaps rethink their words. For the rest of the introductions, I would recommend re-reading them before you post them. For any responses, also think twice.

If anyone has issues with what has been said in this thread, please do not hesitate to use the report button. I want this to be perfectly civil.

Due to past history involving the participants in this thread, I will be watching it. Please do not give anyone an excuse to close this thread.

:confused:

How do you not discuss previously banned members in a section exclusively filled with them?

I understand that TZ does its hardest to prevent anyone's feelings from being hurt, but banned members are not even listed on the members list. Are their rights really that protected?

Also, any attempts to regulate speeches and the like would probably be ridiculous and futile. Kury isn't planning on sticking around on TZ after she's done with these. I doubt she has the respect for this forum and its members to censor her presentations and their speeches so as to not offend some people she'll never see again after this month.

J'onn, I'd like to drop this discussion after this and get on with the subject at hand. First, I was not necessarily referring to the posts about the award itself, but some other posts referring to other banned members (though those could be seen as more inflammatory than what we'd appreciate as well). We limit discussion about banned members as to not restart any arguments or drama that may have developed from the actual ban, and it helps remain a calm, sane environment on the forum.

As to the speeches, I am aware that Kury said she will be leaving Toon Zone shortly, and I'd hope she could make a dignified exit, as she has had quite a following on these forums, and I'd be personally disappointed if she tried to do anything destructive, if not for the sake of the other members here. What we do here is try and prevent people from yelling at each other, mocking each other, or being noticeably rude to each other.

This discussion is over.

On that note, please continue with the awards.

It isn't something you guys really need to be concerned about to say the least. In short, some of the winners have been banned, and Zach has already said further mentioning of them isn't allowed, so that takes away 3/4ths of the categories.

Zach Logan
03-04-2008, 12:11 AM
I'm just saying don't mock them, don't be antagonizing, and I don't think 3/4ths of the categories involve that. I'll give a day or two for the thread to get back on track, just don't discuss this subject anymore, don't exacerbate the situation.

Id say its just better to start all over than to try to clean up the mess we have here.

Its obvious that the original starters probably couldnt careless about the awards since there somewhere else. Im saying that because i dont have to see the same names for all categories.

Just a thought...

Shall we begin partitioning the various awards to one another and start creating new ones to give to ourselves in a seemingly more legitimate awards ceremony than this farcical spectacle?

I declare myself the winner of "Toon Zone's Most Callipygean Superman Award for 2007"

And I declare Zach Logan the winner of "Toon Zone's 2007 Lumberjack Award" because his burly manliness and authority knows when to put the foot down on belligerence and hate crimes.

THANK YOU. I'm all for something like that. It's much better than the overwhelmingly clique-y approach to the "awards" that was initially going on here.

My approach would be to just lock this particular thread and start up a new one with a different title to sort of get away from the silly back-patting that was going on here earlier. Since I doubt the thread-starter is coming back anyway, there's really no reason not to.

Oh please. I seriously doubt Kury is going to come back and finish this. She was going to leave after it was over anyway, and has completely disappeared since a week ago when the mods got involved. My best guess is that if she's not able to do it her way, she'll probably have no interest doing it at all.

I've been here since almost the very beginning and - if I'm allowed to vent one last time - I was saddened to see this forum turn into a drama-filled, clique-y mess full of in jokes and sad cries for help. The awards thread was pretty much the epitome of that mentality.

So yeah, as Matt said, lock up this topic and start anew.

Agreed.

I've been here since early 2004 so I've been around for each awards thread. It was fun at first, but later I started to feel it wasn't such a good idea. Many good people always get left out of it and that's not fair.

An appreciation thread is a great idea, that way everyone can give their gratitude to whom they want.

Kury was away for a bit also, like, out of town so that is also another reason for delay...

I have never felt it was very clique-y (The Cafe). And I do believe these will be finished, they have done nothing wrong so far, so no reason to close this. Anyways...



Hmmm, I am suspecting Jon to win Best Member...(or was it best male member) either or, I suspect him to win. Hoorah.

What a turn around this is. Didn't I get yelled at in the photo thread a while back when I pointed out that the posts were becoming too much of back patting between the two who shall not be named and that their in jokes were confusing everybody? And didn't I call KtM's eventual return the day he said he was gone forever?

I announce my nomination and subsequent unanimous victory in the "Oracle of 2007" award.

Edit: Seriously though, now that this popularity contest is over, I'm pretty sure Rasputin would win "Best Debator" by far. I can't believe he wasn't even nominated.

D Dubbs
03-04-2008, 09:55 PM
Evidently I am fighting a losing battle...I never knew there was this much animosity about the awards.../does the Pedro call.

You're not alone. I posted this in an earlier thread:

About the whole "popularity contest" thing.

While I agree that some categories such as Best Member may fall under that type of criticism, I don't think it's fair to denounce the whole event in such a manner.

When I wrote in nominees for Funniest Member, I put down people who make me laugh. When I selected members for Best Debater, I put down posters who are able to hold their own in intense arguments. I didn't nominate members because they were my buddies. Heck, some of the members that I nominated I don't necessarily like, but I felt they should be recognized anyway.

And it's true that I may not visit some sections of Toon Zone as much as others, and therefore I'm probably biased when nominating people, because I'm sure there are several great members who I just don't see a lot of. However, that doesn't mean other people can't nominate those members. If you think someone deserves to be nominated, no one's stopping you. Go ahead and do it. And even if those members don't win or don't even make it to the voting phase, I'm sure people will be greatly appreciative that they are nominated at all. And I still stand by that.

03-04-2008, 10:05 PM
If I may add something, I find it rather in bad taste to make fun of banned or n00b-ish members. Sure, some of them were admittedly irritating, but when they're gone, they're gone. No good reason to make fun of them.

J'onn J'onzz
03-04-2008, 10:29 PM
Hmm, so it's not okay to mock previous trollish members like Owner, but it is okay to mock KuwabaraTheMan, who made thousands of intelligent posts in his five years and two accounts on the forum? And it's okay to make up stories about someone who hasn't even LEFT yet, like Kury? This is insane. Claiming that the AIM chatters control the awards is ridiculous. The cafe is far from the AIM in-joke festival it was in early '07, back when it had no active mods, and guys like TheDarkness were still spamming the forum to death. And it's not like the six or seven people who frequent the Toon Zone AIM Chats are regulating the forum. The cafe is open to EVERYONE, and if not enough people who don't go to the chats didn't vote, hey, that's their problem. And is being crowned 'best n00b' really a huge honour? It's more of a roast than a knighting. The people who claim this is a popularity contest DO have some merit to their claims, but it's no more a contest now than it was in the previous few years, and almost no one complained in any of those years. Because back then, people ENJOYED Toon Zone. Reporters didn't think they were superior to the rest of the forum. People didn't take a simple parody awards thread so seriously that they started speculating about the host not posting an award for a few days. Few cared that Mr. Pedro had a life, but when it's Kury, an ex-mod who has the contempt of the staff for trivial reasons, we get page after page of insults and speculation. Please. She's ill. I'm sure she'll post the rest of the awards when she feels better. This thread is for awards, not this kind of drivel.

Seriously. Kury and I may have our differences, but this blatant bashing isn't needed. And Jon is right, why do you guys care so much, you had the chance to vote, the chance to nominate people, to express who YOU want to win this thing. The chatters consist of like 8 people, last I checked that doesn't mean they reign superiority. Like D_Dubb said, he voted for who HE wanted to vote for, you guys had the same opportunity. And did I not say Kury had a reason for being out? So come on, let's stop the bashing of the clique's (which don't really exist) and such...

Indeed. I was staying out of this as some were wisely requesting, but I have to second J'onn's commentary. I don't know the backstory of this, but too much of this thread has been petty nonsense and it has no place here. Let's please leave this alone and if the awards are meant to be completed, then they will be in due time. I won't be posting again until & unless there's something to post about, hopefully others do the same.

It's complete and utter fail disguised as a message board.I think we're done here.

And I'm probably the guy who knew the least about any of this and I still found that gem. Just follow the link in her sig.

It may be true that she is very against the forum, but I've talked to her on AIM, and she's confirmed that she will post the rest of the results eventually, and when she's finished posting them, she'll leave the forum, as has been her plan for several months.

What a turn around this is. Didn't I get yelled at in the photo thread a while back when I pointed out that the posts were becoming too much of back patting between the two who shall not be named and that their in jokes were confusing everybody? And didn't I call KtM's eventual return the day he said he was gone forever?

I announce my nomination and subsequent unanimous victory in the "Oracle of 2007" award.

Edit: Seriously though, now that this popularity contest is over, I'm pretty sure Rasputin would win "Best Debator" by far. I can't believe he wasn't even nominated.

Oh yea i remember that, then i said the photo thread was like a TZ Myspace, then kury got PO'd at me and edited my post and said i was on her "list".

The awards were like a rigged prom, people deserved diffrent positions, but they all went to the same people. I got nominated for sexy member and best member, yet, they went by how many people got their name called up, which to me isnt fair.

Theres alot of bad blood between me and the Hierarchy Kuwa and Kury, mostly due to how they treated me and others on the AIM chats (well i said some stuff too, but i was never as vulger as they were). Yea, long history, but im leaving that in the past where it belongs.

So now that it seems were starting over, ill be glad...

Thank you for those who stood up for me, but you know what? Screw this. I tried to finish these in an unbiased way despite the issues I have with this website, but you guys don't even care.

I'm tired of this website, I'm tired of trying. I don't even know what it is I did wrong, but whatever.

Sorry, Peter. I guess I wrecked your awards. Didn't realize so many people hated me.

Kury, come on now...don't say that.

What you guys have done is so ridiculous...if I can get poked for being rude to members, which I can be, some action should be taken here. You guys need to lay off, everyone has a time in their life when they complain about things, Tz is no exception, it certainly is not perfect despite what some of you think, it has its good points and its bad points, just like everything else in this world, just like me, just like Kury. Focusing on all the bad points aren't helping anything, this unneeded bashing is just pathetic, at least do it in private. All of you ganged up on her, and for what? So you can feel better about yourselves that you "finally put down the person with power," as some of you claim? You haven't done a thing besides showing how rude some of you can be.

Kury, I sincerely ask you to finish these awards, don't give in to them.

Ok, all done. Nerds have had their revenge on the popular kids, etc etc etc. Karma is marvelous for all parties, but I'm bored now.
