From a purely b3tan perspective
Amorous Badger. Say what you like about him (and many do), he seems to me to have changed the face of QOTW. Back when I first started looking at b3ta, as a lurker, a heck of a lot of answers involved what I can only think of as bragging or wank-fantasies. These ranged from dull to frankly embarrassing.

I maybe don't approve of his methods but I do approve of his results. The subtext to many posts was "don't you wish you were me?", and now, although people may not admit it, they don't bait the Badger. There's been an all-around realisation that you can tell a story about your achievements without sounding like a swaggering bellend.

Say what you will, but if you want to read about other people having fantastic sex there's a great big internet full of sites for just that. I like the idea that b3ta is full of humans just like any other pale sweaty nerd.

Troll he may be, but I like what he's done with the place.

Oops
In the time I wrote this Legless nominated the very same b3tan.

I'm not sure his was a serious nomination

It was a piss poor excuse to try to play internet hardman and moan at the same time.

( BraynDedd CHEER THE FUCK UP YOU MOANING TWATS, Thu 16 Dec 2010, 14:09, closed)

The hardmanning is inexcusable
ignoring that though, I don't see why people fucking whinge so much.

Because they know it upsets you
and upsetting you is always worth doing.

that's the only thing that makes me pause when saying things like that
it's a vicious circle of complaining
( Vipros. clever got me this far, then tricky got me in, Thu 16 Dec 2010, 14:29, closed)

True dat
if it upsets you, don't bother reading the comments. Personally I find the snide stuff written underneath the dull stuff to be far more entertaining, but then I hate the world and everyone in it, probably.

I like reading people getting cross on the internet
I sometimes get cross on the internet and the idea that I've amused people reading it makes me stop being cross on the internet.

I sometimes get cross on the internet.
I prefer to be noughts, if I'm honest.

There was a superb XKCD cartoon about noughts and crosses the other day

SAME HERE, YOU FUCKING PRICK
That should sort both of us out, then. Happy days.

THERE DOESN'T NEED TO BE A FUCKING COMMA AFTER "HERE" YOU SEMI-LITERATE TOSSER

YES THERE FUCKING DOES, IT EMPHASISES THE NOW VALIDATED ACCUSATION OF FUCKING PRICKERY

( wotofco pissing in your swimming pool, Thu 16 Dec 2010, 14:49, closed)

You're both fucking wrong!
It should be a semicolon.

A semi-colon would have been more suitable in my last outburst, granted
it would have been quite wrong in the first. You cunt.

I quite like what he does with the plaice.

But his stickleback sauce is simply to die for
I think he's the best B3ta member nomination.

I want to kick his fucking teeth in

( wotofco pissing in your swimming pool, Thu 16 Dec 2010, 14:27, closed)

I disagree.
He's a snivelling little weasel who just enjoys baiting sensitive people because it's the only joy he gets in his otherwise dull and meaningless existence.

The difficulty here is working out whether you're serious or not.

I
agree.
In fact I reckon there's a case to be made for AB as b3ta's Julian Assange (though assumedly without the technical rape charges.)
(jennymnemonic, Thu 16 Dec 2010, 14:47, closed)

There's nothing technical about badger's rape activities

( wotofco pissing in your swimming pool, Thu 16 Dec 2010, 14:51, closed)

artistic rape?

( Vipros. clever got me this far, then tricky got me in, Thu 16 Dec 2010, 14:52, closed)

I heard his willy wasn't long enough for him to be able to technically rape someone

Maybe
but if the movement to vilify anyone with a story like "then I shagged her so hard and good she phoned all her female mates so I could have a go on them too!" has a face, it's probably that of a raccoon.

Don't know who he is,
but that's the reason I stopped coming here, and viewing the QOTWs. Almost every post was blatant look-how-great-I-am etc.

Self-deprecation is severely underrated on here.

I haven't been on here for a while. People used to lap that shit up, I remember spimf/legless telling everyone how much he earned every single fucking week. Got a little tiresome, to be honest.
