[BuddyBear]

It's been a while fellows. Those of you who have been here long enough know what I am talking about. Last Spring I went away on important business and I returned to find things had changed and not for the better. I came back to find old friends but instead I found a lot of guys had changed and were now bitter and needlessly argumentative. A lot of the frustration came from losing, bad beats, money issues, erectile dysfunction, but who knows...I found a changed forum and I knew I needed to do something.

Right now the gaming industry landscape is as bleak as it has ever been and what's a degenerate to do during these times of uncertainty? He turns to his friends on the gaming forum, that's what he does. There are a lot of great guys on here (i.e. Razz, IMGV, BuddyBear, JJgold, Raiders, etc...) and it's high time we pay tribute by honoring and acknowledging their efforts and hardwork they put into making SBR a great place. Therefore, every month I will nominate one poster to be the Poster of the Month.

This month it's time to pay special tribute to one of the legendary gaming forum posters on here. We are truly privileged to have him post at SBR. He is there for a helping hand and always gives great feedback to everyone on here.

The November Poster of the Month is Pags11.




Congratulations to Pags11 for a tremendous NCAAF season and continued success in NCAAB.

Fellow SBR posters please congratulate Pags11 for the great work he does here on SBR.

Yoshi it's never easy to make the selection....there were about 40 guys who were on the list. It's competitive but i've been impressed with your posting keep up the good work and I wouldn't be surprised if you won the award one day.

[Yoshi]

You really think so Buddy?
I dont know...i feel like iam too old, Pags surely started his posting career waaay earlier than me...i will never be as respected as he or Taco is.

I think I can change your mind about Yoshi with one post..

I'll Pm you..

[BuddyBear]

Hang in there Yoshi....good things happen to those who are patient.

TACO: you moron this is a thread to celebrate Pags' accomplishment on here...we don't need you to go into one of your jealous fits right now. And you wonder why you never win the POM award it's b/c of your jealous attitude....i have a right mind to throw you out of this forum once and for all.

[pags11]

buddy and SBR crew,

I am truly honored...last year I was able to win Degenerate Handicapper of the Year and I was please to get that honor...however, I have yet to be named poster of the month until now...this is awesome...

I want to thank all those that have educated me on the industry and also those that helped me handicap all of the college football games and college basketball games this past year...especially razz, buddy and imgv...

I truly feel this is the best forum out there, and I think we need to keep putting our heads together and make some good cash together...

I do enjoy educating others on my experience, as I've been doing this for a while...if you guy's ever have any questions, feel free to private message me (as some of you already do)...

thanks again...

pags you are indeed a legend sir.

[goldengoat]

you 2 need to get a room or something

[jjgold]

Someone throw Pags a $50 Bill for the award, solid guy

[BuddyBear]

lot of bitter and jealous guys on here in these posts....the culture at SBR has deterioted dramatically since the early days.

?

This is your personal kiss-ass thread. And you 'award' a poster, who is normally allright, but in the last few weeks has shown a very childish side. So what is your point? If such a question wouldn't inspire you to throw me off the forum, that is?

[SBR_John]

I think folks are paying Buddybear to be made Poster of the Month...

[The Prick]

that is unequivocally the funniest post of all time! I can sorta see being jealous of a dude with a hot broad, or a sweet ride, or a ton o' cash (that last one usually brings the first two). BUT to be jealous of the fact that BuddyBear thinks you're the cats pajamas????? Even Taco made that little Homo-Smiley with the dudes clinking beer glasses. Seems like BB is trying to stir some shit, and that makes it if possible even funnier, since he's always complaining about that sort of thing. Congrats, Pags, I always knew you'd go far

[BuddyBear]

I seriously think it is time SBR cleans house on here by removing the posters who contribute nothing....

[tacomax]

i have a right mind to throw you out of this forum once and for all.

Go on - do it. Show me that you can do it.

[BuddyBear]

Stop trying to hijack this thread Taco...this thread is to acknowledge the effort that Pags11 makes on here. Other posters on here have given their support and you should follow in turn. I am sorry you feel such ill will toward him and me and are jealous that he won the Novemeber POM award.

Hang in there bro you'll lose your virginity real soon.

Is there some criteria whereby the recipient of this award is selected?

[BuddyBear]

Is there some criteria whereby the recipient of this award is selected?

Good question...there are five broad categories I use to select the POM.

1. Character
2. Posting Insight/comments
3. Receptive to other poster's comments
4. Respectful of other posters on here
5. Quality over quantity

Some posters think to themselves if I post enough I can get the award and certainly that increases your chances b/c you have greater opportunity to demonstrate those characteristics I've outlined above but the reality is I look at what is being said. The number underneath the avitar is irrelevant to me.

You are an evil man

Got it, thanks. Then the selection commitee assigns numerical values to each of these characteristics?

[tacomax]

Just think of it as the Buddybear Reach-around Award.

[pags11]

actually, I think buddy's been very fair giving out this award...I'm sure he's got a list of past award winners...all were excellent selections...you guys can hate on buddy, myself or whoever...or you can participate in making money like we do...

again, thank you for the kind words guys...

[jjgold]

I like all the posters here

[Willie Bee]

I'd have voted for you JJ, but I'm not part of Buddy's secret police/selection committee.

[kdmfox]

An amusing thread.

[Sean]

:hmmm ... food for thought

[onlooker]

Congrats pags.

Im just shocked that Taco has not won yet, as seeing he is a respected poster. Just check out his signature line.

[Bill Dozer]

One of those theads you'd like see reenacted live and in person.

Congrats Pags!

[tacomax]

As strong as my posts have been in November, my vote would have gone to Jed Bush.

[pags11]

thanks guys...just one of the perks I guess when you actually contribute useful info. to the forum...thanks again...
