So is voting closed now?

It's still open for those last 3 people. I'm just doing something right now.

Also, you and Scarecrow's right. the low-ratees are the most interesting specimens so I think I'll start high. Highest to lowest it is.

Okay.
GamerXD8 8/10
He's still in my book considered one of the "spammers" sometimes, but like BoomerangReturns, he never breaks the rules, and when he does, he maturely talks about it with the mods without making a big deal about it (take notes people!) He NEVER gets angry or butthurt, he's nice, and optimistic. I really like this about him, and I think some of users here in particular can learn a lot from him.

That's nice, now he's in for sure!

And to hype it up even more. I will try and normalize my curve. Which means, rest assured every number over 10 will have at least 1 user associated with it. Place your bets on the highest/lowest 10 or something i dunno

Zed for 1st place. 10k money.

I guess since my main critique is that I am rather inactive here now, I guess I should do this aswell o:

Mecha-Hewitt - Extremely active on the forums. Great mod and very helpful. I owe you loads for helping me organice the BSE! Although playing around a bit too much with his "mod-powers" sometimes. 9/10

Stone - Remaining active and always trying to do whats best for the comunity. Would be even more active if he had the time. Created the best stick animation forum ever wich brought me into animating in the first place. The founder of the RHG system. A great guy who's helped me with a ton of stuff. And a very professional animator. Sadly, sometimes too busy to notice your messages wich makes it seem like he's ignoring you. 9/10

Camila - Very cheerful person. Always been very active on the forums and has done very well since she became a mod. Good animator. Fun person to talk to. 9/10

Hidro - Use to be very active here on the forums. Created the StickpageTutorialTeam wich I'm glad to be a part of. Funny accent. Lost my respect a bit for quitting the forums/IRC after that incedent with Hewitt, but gained it back once he returned. 8.5/10

Erin - ALWAYS being on IRC and saying Hi to make you feel welcome. :) Great person and great artist. 8.5/10

Jombo - A great ex-mod. Awesome animator and a funny dood. Wich I knew him better though. 8.5/10

Sharp - My only swedish friend here on stickpage now that Fresh left. Funny guy who's joined me in several livestreams. Getting better at animating. Seems rather active here on the forums aswell. 8/10

Frank'd - Aka Frank. One of my closest online friends. Not very active at all here on the forums, but online on IRC quite often. Awesome animator. Great taste of music. Likes otters. 10/10

I did a double-take when I saw Oxob's name on the last posted notification.

Ahdo 8.5 / 10

He is a good lad. He doesn't step out of bounds and even if he does, it's to set someone in their place. He came into my life a few months ago but it feels like he's been a part of it for a long time. He's a genuinely nice guy. He's has a potential to be a great animator and a future moderator because he knows that fine line between a joke and serious business. He a great guy to have a laugh with. so yah 8.5 / 10

Ahdo: Pretty neutral for me. To be honest, I always skip his posts. They're usually (if not always) redundant in a topic; meaning he only repeats what someone already said in a discussion. Not really bad to be given a low score tho. Here's me generously giving a 6/10

Amond: Who the fuck is this guy?
Seriously now, he's just like Ahdo for me. Uninteresting, yet not really obnoxious. I skip his posts, and actually had to go to his profile to get an idea of how he is. Makes jokes that could be funny if you're really new to the internet. Have a 6/10 too

I rated the last two to make it a solid 10 voters.

Well that's it for everyone! Now it's time for...



Here it is. Highest to lowest. I'll be releasing 5-10 at a time give or take. I'm almost done rating and just have to do some of the writeups. Rating the Users were hard because all 50 ratees are Force Ranked which means nobody will have the same rating twice. So if you get a low rank/rating, it isn't because I think you suck. It's because you were bumped down by another person for reasons beyond us both. It also means absolutely someone will get a 10 and a 1 and everything in between and absolutely someone will be higher than others. Just a disclaimer though, sometimes the writeup doesn't justify why I rated the user so and is something that I just like to personally share. But I hope it gives insight to why I rated the person that way. Also, the rating doesn't rate you as a person but just how I percieve you, so don't get butthurt/proud about it. Sometimes I also don't really have much to say about the guy but I really try not to say "Don't know him much." and it comes out a bit forced.

As I rank and rate every user, I will also put a Lasting Impression or basically what I recall the most when the name rings in my head. Some are pretty obvious but some are really obscure and maybe just struck me in particular. It doesn't necessarily spell the most memorable thing I know about the user either, and definitely not the most memorable thing they've done in this place. Finally, don't be surprised if you have had no Lasting Impression at all.

GO! AND PLACE YOUR BETS EVERYONE!!!


##Jeff - 10
Lasting Impression: Every post ever. Mostly his rants and batcave chatter. Also, when he personally invited me to be a mod ages ago.

I don't wanna go into a long spiel about this guy because I think we can all agree what he's capable of. That and there are 49 others waiting for me and I need to get this ball rolling. Picking number 10 wasn't hard at all because this is it right here. This man. Is a doer. Plain and simple. He actually does things. And he gets things done. I'd like to think that everyone's ultimate form is teh Jeff, and what everyone ultimately will be if they do something well and keep at it. I know, not everyone's gonna agree with that but yeah there's my tops.



##Scarecrow - 9.8
Lasting Impression: When he mentions how when he pretty much started coming here, he was trying to learn how to animate, only to realize he could just learn by himself, proceeded to do so, then just mastered all the other things he felt like doing. Also recently, calling me a chumparoonie.

There isn't a moment where I don't imagine Scarecrow speaking in a raspy scary mad scientist-like voice whenever he posts something. And then he posted his IRL pic and I've just chosen to selectively erase that from my mind. It wasn't cool. Who is this guy XD? Scarecrow to me is like Zed's twin brother who, doesn't get invited to parties because he rejects all the invites from the getgo and tells the inviters in person how much he'd like to go in a sarcastic passive-aggressive manner that makes you just want to invite him just to spite him. For whatever force of habit excuse he has for still coming here, it better be long-lasting. This place without a grump would feel so different.



##Exilement - 9.7
Lasting Impression: The very epic rant he gave to GrimmTheReaper about how cool I am. Also, when he trolled and pwned me in Snakes. Twice.

Oh God, I was seriously having a hard time ranking the 9's. I hear alot of flak for Exile being too serious. Not that I don't deny it too but I think it's good to have that one guy knock some sense into this place every once in awhile. Exilement is good. His time taken to dissect and form rants are meticulously put and well-thought out. Reading them you get an inkling that his love for this place exceeds far more than quite a few of even the hardiest vets around here (though personally I think all the 9s are the same in that regard). He's my favorite mod, and sometimes I try to infract people in his style.



##Arch-Angel - 9.6
Lasting Impression: Various outbursts in the Art sections and the Trash Bin. The man says what he wants XD

Close match tbh. It could've gone either way, but the only reason why you're lower than Exile is because I got to know you kinda late into my mod tenure. I didn't think I saw you much about the time when Sacred and Zed began dropping off and for awhile I thought you were as distant as Tecness. Anyways, if Scarecrow was like the SP Gr(u)amps and Exile was like the SP Father, Arch is like the SP Son. You can feel his strong feelings for this place when he comments on crappy lazy art, helps out beginners willing to learn, and constantly updates and hypes his RHG animation. I admire his love for helping people out because it's like he's returning the favor for when he was here for the first time. His strong views on animation and the Dojo also reveal his awareness towards serious matters that glide well with his humorous playful side.



##Smile - 8.9
Lasting Impression: Countless IRC Convos which as Smile mentions in his writeup last for more than 4 hours---more than anyone he usually talks to.

WhatsthishigherthanZed??? The highest honor I believe for anyone who has never animated for serious. I guess you can say Smile is like SP's snowman. I'll admit, I think I could give this guy a lower score but I don't really care. Smile has always been a background character, but he is very mature in this sea of noobs as shown in his spotless record. He has some really weird dislikes and peeves but who doesn't. Anyways, what else can I say but I hope you like it on top XD

well i don't know where you go that idea. i did nothing but party until my body became crippled from partying too hard

Hew you should've rated Zed. And Sacred.
They're the coolest cats on the forum.

Hah, I love this thread. What a cool idea
