The nominees for this award contribute a lot to the forum. It may be a Final Fantasy Forum, but a lot of the sense of community happens withing the general forums. It is a place for bonding, talking, making friends. It is a place to post about random subjects to get other people's opinions, a place to tell your own stories and pretend you want to hear the stories of others and weren't just doing it to boast about whatever it is that happened, it is a place of debating and support. Here, you can discuss anything from movies to music to cats to ice cream to that man who keeps stealing your sandals and you can't quite figure out why, but maybe you should start stealing his lawn gnomes. Is that a good idea, EoFF? I don't know. But luckily, I have the forum at my disposal to answer that ridiculous question. Let's take a look at the nominees.
Calliope
I think Calliope is a good nomination. She contributes to many threads and also sometimes brings up alternate points of view that I hadn't considered before. Her posts make you think and feel and care. She isn't afraid to say what needs to be said, and I respect that. She is a great addition to the community.
Jinx
I remember when Jinx joined as fierytempest. She made her presence known and fit right in to the community at an admirable speed. It wasn't long before everyone knew her name, and she knew theirs. She contributes a lot of interesting and funny posts that people enjoy reading.
Locky
Locky is another who came on the site and quickly made friends. She joined shortly before I returned after not having had internet for six months. She hasn't been a member for too long, but already she has contributed a great deal. She writes articles that everyone enjoys, and she runs events, many of which take place in the general forums. The events make the community more involving, fun, and interesting.
Pike
Pike is a member who makes everyone feel welcome and cared for. She is welcoming to everyone, and responds to everyone in a way that makes them feel like they fit in. Which is great for new members. It encourages them to post and grow the community. She makes a lot of interesting threads and posts, and I always look forward to reading what she has to say in the threads.
Psychotic
Psychotic scares me. But his posts are funny and he is friendly if you avoid antagonizing him. I think what he add the most is humor. There are a lot of posts that have made me chuckle in my head, but far fewer that have made me laugh out loud. Psychotic has made a lot of those posts. He brings a unique personality to the forums, and it wouldn't feel the same without him.
Shorty
Shorty has a very strong presence on the forum. She is friends with everybody and engages many people in conversation. She responds to many threads and contributes very positively to a lot of threads, and make it feel like a lighter hearted, friendlier place to post. Her posts are often humorous and amusing, and I, as well as many people, look forward to her input.
So there are our nominees for best General Forums Poster. Good luck to all of the nominees!
