NaTaS+ 958 Posted June 29, 2013 (edited) Sarge SteVo blots Bay BoneKrusher Trident Ngata Thantos Bucman Mine are unranked. I kept it under 10 and I could have added more, these are just guys I feel are definitely worthy of recognition for their continued support of these forums. Without their addition, both historically and currently, this board would not be the same. Edited July 2, 2013 by NaTaS Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SteVo+ 3,702 Posted June 29, 2013 (edited) I suppose we can take more than that. As long as you are sincere about it and not throwing in a J&D or something. lmao In that case, I'll go with six. I'm comfortable with this list; I wouldn't want to figure out who to cut if I absolutely had to make a top five. Bay, blots, oochymp, Sarge, Thanatos, Trident. These are listed alphabetically. I know you said, F4E, that you want these ranked, but it is impossible for me to rank one TGP member against another. Each member provides their own individual contribution, and those contributions as a whole make TGP what it is. I cannot rank these six, all of whom I consider elite, higher than one another.

oochymp 2,393 Posted June 29, 2013 since it looks like nobody's following instructions, I'm not going to either I'm taking SteVo's approach and listing six alphabetically, I have a lot of trouble coming up with a ranking Bay blotsfan NaTaS Sarge SteVo Thanatos Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Phailadelphia Posted June 29, 2013 (edited) Blots Thanatos Sarge Stevo Bay I didn't put these in any particular order. I see the same 5 names in here a lot so I don't think it's going to matter. Edited June 29, 2013 by Phailadelphia Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JetsFan4Life 542 Posted June 29, 2013 (5) Stevo (4) Sarge (3) Bay (2) Trident (1) Thanatos Obviously don't mean any disrespect to leaving anyone off as I could also make a list of 10+ members worthy of this distinction but I decided to give it a try the way JD intended.

Sarge+ 3,436 Posted June 29, 2013 It was very hard for me to leave a few people off my list. I think it just speaks even more to the environment that we have created here. I doubt many other sites have as many members who are equally deserving of the title of "elite" member when you sit and think about what a lot of members bring to the table here. This thread just proves even more that I would never trade TGP as it is now for any other site on the web. I've been here basically since the beginning and the site only gets better as time goes on, at a time when message board usage is in a steep decline. We're not going anywhere. In my mind the results of these nominations only mean so much. There are definitely a few people who won't get the elite title this time around that I could never imagine TGP not having for one reason or another. The best part is these members probably know who they are, and they won't be offended about not getting nominated. It's hard to vote when you're forced to pick 6 or 7 from a list that could easily span 10-15 people. I'm not saying we need more elite members than what is being allowed. I'm merely saying that it's a testament to how great of a site we really have built that it's so hard to narrow down a group of elite members. It's a good problem to have. 11 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sarge pretty much nailed it. The only thing now is that the number of candidates members provided is skewed because we have members listing 5-10 people.

I, and many others I'm sure, have confidence that the staff is capable of sorting it out properly. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
