So yes it's being controversial, but I just wanted to get peoples' opinion, that's all.
Anyway, after much debate, here it is!
Extra special thanks to Waaagh_Gonads and Legoburner for pointing me in the right direction and keeping me out of trouble

Sorry, I can't vote.
Came across about almost none of these guys.
Nevertheless, nice effort.

  • Honorable mentions
  • HBMC - In the face of GW relentless price gouging and monkey editing, his sardonic humor helps keep me sane

  • LunaHound - Anyone who likes both anime and miniatures is cool in my book

    Mine goes to LBursley, I've been watching all his videos and it's been inspiring me to get painting again. Especially now that I know about paint additives like flow improver etc., I didn't know what any of that stuff was before.

    In all fairness though I think this could have been done a lot better. I mean we didn't even get any real time to nominate people, it was quite literally first come first served, which is the only reason I ended up on the poll at all and a lot of long-standing members were left out.

    I have to say this pool of the Dakkite of the Year would be cool on a forum with just a couple hundred of members or just a home made forum for your friends or clubs...
    Dakka sheer size alone doesnt cope with this concept IMO... Theres lots of important people that are not even on the pool ( no yak? wtf?) and I dont think you can ever make a size effective pool of the generality of dakkaites.
    Also I see in this pool people that are the oposite of someone who contributes to dakka. Its more like a parody and its ok I guess, just not for me...

    It's because the only people who ended up on the poll were the first ten to post in the original thread, as it was said.

    I voted for GWar. I have not been on dakka for quite a while now. But from what little I have seen of Gwar to me he seems like a mini Yakface in the you make the call section before yakface was overlord.

    He has been helpful to me an replied quickly to my SW rules questions. Also due to his efforts on the SW faq he wins my vote. (if only because SW are my main army and he has been helpful with the rules)

    Also I really dont see the point of this. Unless its a popularity contest.

    Well, about 6 months ago Dakka switched from a 40k discussion forum to an exercise in placating Gwar's ego.

    I mean, I'm assuming that's why the Mods work 24/7 to make sure nobody ever says anything remotely mean to or about him, while ignoring his constant arrogance and flamebait.

    Vote for whatever causes the strongest response in you. For example, some people may have a strong response to Legoburner's making DakkaDakka have great software, while others are overwhelmed by Gwar's horribleness.

    Maybe Dakka gets paid for every post gwar makes? Even if it's just one cent per post, 50 cents to a dollar a day is pretty decent.

    "Improved". Gwar is like a troll version of Stelek, who was like a bad version of mauleed. I long for the old days of YMDC: Yakface and Mauleed Dictate Conclusions.

    Guys i have a question but dont kill me for asking please.

    I know some of you on this page doesnt get along with Gwar! and certainly doesnt make any attempt to hide it.
    Your reasons i can understand , im not arguing about that.

    But if you look at the poll , atleast 59 people voted for him.
    Which means beyond the arrogance or w/e those are 59 people that appreciate Gwar!'s help.

    Cant we atleast respect it that much?

    Your kidding right? Have you seen the one sided dictatorship of a joke that YMDC has become? You know its bad when DCM's and even regular folk across the forum say that they wont visit the thread due to certain people.

    What makes more sense:

    A few dozen people across the forum in multiple threads decide out of the blue that they will pick on somebody cause they have nothing better to do?

    OR

    Said person openly admits to deliberately trolling the forum, spammed, and flame baited/argued his way across the forum and people are sick and tired of his antics thus bringing all this down upon his own head?

    Hmmm.......

    Well, he's not right 100% of the time, but one thing I've noticed is that someone will say something that does not jive with the rules in YMDC. Gwar will come in and say how the rules actually are. The first poster will say that Gwar is rude, and a troll, and that he's the reason that nobody goes into YMDC any more. I find that my opinion is usually pretty well received on YMDC, and that's because I actually follow the tenets of YMDC, and most of the time I have solid grounding in the rules for the posts that I write. It's the people who come into YMDC and post nonsense that's not based on the rules that claim that YMDC has a hostile atmosphere.

    @ Wildstyle: that's not strictly true though. Sure, there are plenty of people that confuse "how I'd like the rules to work" with RAW, but there's become a bit of an echo chamber towards a highly literal interpretation of RAW, focusing less on meaning and context, and more on precision. The Russes in witchhunters debate was a classic example of that. There were solid arguments that RAW supported taking a russ, just not the strictest literal interpretation.

    There's plenty of hostility even for people with reasonable points.

    You say immense contribution, I say ceaseless spamming of his opinion until others leave. I know of a sizeable number of respected posters who no longer use the YMTC section of this forum entirely due to Gwar and his methodology and ceaseless showboating.

    The idea you would vote for someone who has crapped in the sandpit so many times that others don't want to go back there is really tragic. And any contribution made has been immediately followed up with demands for praise and attention, which is also entirely distasteful. Good people do selfless things to make the world better, not to receive an ego stroke.

    Demanding recognition for doing something (like a FAQ when you've spent a month prior decrying the FAQs as soon as one directly disagreed with you...) is puerile and needy.

    Gwar, your absolutely right. They have learnt the hard way that trying to enter into debate with you is pointless and that you will simply keep spamming a thread until they give up in disgust. So yes, they clearly demonstrate wisdom in their character and their wish to stop banging their heads against the brick wall. People are and have left YMDC that might otherwise be engaging in open and polite debate, leaving you to hop up and down on your rock and shout into the void of the interweb that you are correct.

    This thread is a good bit of fun and shows we have a real community even though it's all text and light and we're all thousands of miles away from one another. I really like it here and I like all the people. I don't always get along with HBMC or MGS or Frazzled but I appreciate seeing them day after day and always take the time to read their posts. Same goes for Polonius, whose eloquent messages are nearly always a pleasure to read (kind of a pity he wasn't on the list). Every one of us tends to annoying once in a while (or maybe even as often as we hit "submit") but we still come around. Point is, I like Gwar! and don't really see the need to constantly berate him here or anywhere else. No doubt he can be rather insistent but I hope people will keep their criticism to the friendly/humorous. If you have a serious complaint about any user's behavior, isn't the appropriate venue PMing a mod rather than grandstanding in a thread that's just for fun?

    If it were just a collision of personas then I agree with you Manchu, it's best not the subject of public debate.

    When, on the other hand, you have someone who has gone to great lengths to become noticed within the community, you have a cause celebre. There is a strong dividing line when it comes to Gwar, some vault him and support him, others detest him and are still boggled by just how many times you have to be suspended on this site to actually be banned.

    So here's the thing, if someone seeks out 'celebrity', even in as niche a market as this is, by being controversial and continually drawing attention, they will become the subject of public debate. There is a sizable number of dakka users who have issue with him, why should this not be subjected to discussion?

But the discussion you're talking about--as long as it happens here in "public"--merely contributes to the very cause celebre you're decrying.

    If I waited until everybody in my office went home and then used their computers to register extra votes for my chosen candidate, would that be frowned upon?

    Not true, I simply don't buy the hype and ensure I vocalise my objection. A significant number do not and simply cross him off the Christmas card list as advised by the moderators. Which would be fine but then leaves him carte blanche to tour the site with his circus of self and newer or younger dakkites suddenly believe that this is the way they should be playing the game, spending hours pawing over the minutia to try and find exploit to a commonly held opinion or rule. To accept that you can call someone using the FAQs a 'cheater' etc.

    If you insist, I didn't mean to criticize you (this time, ha). You make a strong case in a way but what about Flashman's point? Even us newer dakkaites don't come here to learn how to play. I'd say we look for clarifications at the most and take the advice as suggestions. If Gwar! rants "You can play whatever game you want while I play 40k" so what? Like Flashman pointed out, Gwar! isn't at your FLGS sitting across the table from you. Those who can't get over it and so flee YMTC seem to mostly have "personas," as you might put it, as inflated as Gwar!'s. Gwar! just has more energy to keep on and on and on. I do think it's wise of them to just ignore him if that's the best they can do but no need to do that and air the grudge elsewhere. Plus, you can humorously deflate an ego (as I think you've done mine once or twice!) and that doesn't make for a vendetta.

    Val is not prepared to accept the presumption that Luna is a girl. He wisely holds to the idea that there are no girls on the internet. Luna hasn't bothered to directly answer him so it's all a bit up in the air, you see.

    As for myself, I am convinced that both Gwar! and Luna are a sort of ghost-like creature trapped inside of Dakka. That or evidence that Dakka has achieved consciousness.

    It is more that I have assumed that just because someone uses a female avatar doesn't mean that they're female. My Diablo 2 Amazon had a ton more successful trades than my Barbarian, for instance, I guess because internet nerds are trained to hand things to "hawt chixx0rs".

    Never assume someone's gender on the internet based on avatar. We all have jolly pirate nicknames. I could be a 12 year old girl in Topeka, I could be a 90 year old man in Ullan Bhattar. Turns out I'm a nerd in Baltimore, but there we go.

    Thanks for the vote of confidence, mate!
    Truth is, I don't think we can really ever agree on the 'Dakkite of the Year'. There are so many options, and restricting them to a mere 10 in the first go is a bit...restrictive? There are lot's of people I might vote for that are not up there. 9Though I may still pick the Donal Trump Dog).

    However, when I first got here, Gwar! was the big name. Infamous, but stil famous. So that is who most of the new members will be voting for, as they have not had contact with anyone else.

    But he has failed us. Heretics started sprouting reviews left and right, our Lord nowhere to be seen... I persevered but a person can only go THAT far.

    Then a voice of reason came. The Donald Trump Dog voiced logic, and kindness, and led us to a better, fluffy (sorry for that word) world.
