Just about any of the "Good morning class" threads for most funny.

Most Boring post - Any dealing with Ultra White Hot Nova markets blabberings.

Best Pic - The one that I still remember seeing for the first time that really caught me was Relayers (I believe it was his) picture of his Toned Proof IHC. There may have been nicer pics since or before, but that was the first I saw, and it really left a strong desire for me to start collecting IHC.

Thanks Relayer

Marty,

As usual, you screwed it up. Don is #2. His '66 SMS Kennedy in MS68DCAM trumps my Accented Hair in PR68DCAM.

Russ, NCNE

BEST SLAPDOWN AWARD ~ this special, most cherished award is given to an outstanding individual who put another forum member rightfully in their place ~ this award can only be earned by one who has gone beyond the call of duty to argue a point tirelessly until all other members have added their two cents worth as well (I had to do it) and proven someone either a liar, a phoney, or just plain old suffering from that ages old disease, cranial-anal inversion syndrome. I nominate Russ from his flambé of user, cointoast (by user, I mean forum user) on threads: Link1 Link2

ElectricEye

For Least Valuable Poster, I vote for RAYMAC ~ (he, she, undecided, or it) took part in three posts which resulted in one stupid question, one stupid comment, and one helluva drama laden non-factual tirade about a subject that (he, she, undecided, or it) knows absolutely nothing about. See post: Link on (get it?) I would also nominate RAYMAC (he, she, undecided, or it) for the Post to Discredit PCGS that Backfired the Worst award based on this post. This user ID by someone who was probably suspended under another user name at least once, deserves some sort of recognition for their efforts.
