Najira's Thread Round Up(Weekly umm maybe :S)

[Ataraxia]

With Jae's weekly stuff in retirement ....and with me having loads of free time today I thought Id start some sorta a weekly thread and see how long I can go(I know I know, this has Jae Weeky Thread Cheap Immitation written all over it).

I dont take into account newly made threads....even if the thread started of awhile back but still gets replies its eligible. But it has to have a reply made to it 7 days prior to today.

Anyhow Im gonna be rounding up a sorta weekly thread award system....ok lets begin.


ERUPTION THREAD OF THE WEEK
Hands down here....the Post a Pic thread went haywire with a rather unneccessary flame war(as always) between Mr.Jae, Agentdweaver, CoolMac and of course me. A few other people showed up and had their say but none of them was as well taken as Hotshot(aka The Bengali Tiger, because his posting is as rare as the animal). It was a shock that a poster who posts so rarely here came and gave his views on well lets say alot of things, but its all been resolved now so I wont go into details as it might lead to a resurrection.


SPAM THREAD/S OF THE WEEK
It was between Matija's "Is Anyone On This Forum" and CoolMac's and Dweaver's "the for ADULTS thread (minors still allowed)" and well I have to say its a tie.

Matija's thread was created as he was interested to know if their were fellow Croat's in this site, unfortunately that question was not answered till our beloved Andreas Dahl came along and gave a shortlist of known Croat's. As for the rest of the posts well it looks like Toni Kukoc Fever hit the NLSC for awhile as 4 people claimed to be him and a couple claimed to know him personally, I have no clue why anyone will want to be a Euro Role Player but hey its a weird world out there.

The best post and reply, well it has to be CoolMac's post of him being some itty bitty point percentage croation and then the ever lovable/hateable Mr.Jae pointed out what the rest of CoolMac is.

i'm 0.000000031% croatian.........

and 99.99999999969% idiot.

Ok well then lets get on to the Mac-Weaver combo, never have I come across a thread soulely made for the purpose of two members to post about so called "adult matters". Of course it was soon ended before it turned out into a flame fest(as we all know Mr.Mac and Mr.Dweaver are subject to plenty of flaming). Props to Jae for that, yes he did a good moderating job there(no Dweaver Im not Jae's dickrider).

okay heres our thread 20+ year olds......since we already posted too many adult oriented stuff in the other threads and lead them off topic. we can chit chat about anything realting to adulthood here

can't you read? we are talking adult stuff here..if you like to join you have to first think of a topic for adults only........well?

Defection!!! j/k Laughing

Don't worry, it's just the beginning, we'll post something worth talking about tomorrow...

mmmm a non loyal member in our midst.....agent man is right........we can't think of anything worth adult while now......since we talk so much already in the other threads...may be tommorow we can topic a new one.......

Well unfortunately for them their was to be no tomorrow.

:lol:

This is spam, any thread that promotes the posting of COOLmac will be locked without question.

THE BUST/FLOP THREAD OF THE WEEK
Well Paradizecityz "Houston, Texas" Thread is definitely a candidate, specially considering the amount of replies(spam) the "Anyone On This Forum" recieved. Course its only a query thread therefore its not a true bust or flop.

Its a tough decision this week but Ill head to our brotherhood nearby(aka NBA Talk) and give this weeks crown to "Shaq vs. Kobe Round III". These two are the most talked about players on most basketball forums and in the NBA, so it was suprising it had just 38 replies specially considering the gigantic Laker fan population we have. Im not sure whether its sheer "Oh not again" or "Its all about Bron" to blame, but its this weeks Bust/Flop Thread of the week.


FUNNIEST THREAD TOPIC OF THE WEEK
Dogg's "Help me find one teletubbie's picture, please!" ......as scary as it is its just something so odd that I cant stop laughing when reading it. Dogg is indeed a very amusing character...but I never thought he loved shows made for Toddlers. I have a feeling he wanted to make a "I Love Teletubbies and Im Proud" thread but was worried abt the aftermath.


DISTURBING POST OF THE WEEK
Sorry to put CoolMac and Dweaver on the bubble but the following material is indeed very disturbing.

Mmmm, how old are you C-mac?

nice hair, although a it out of date, unless it's a trend still inthe Phillippines... I used to have longer hair(and curlier ) back in my early teen heavy metal days.. Ahhh, memories...

why mr.agent man you naughty boy

well i'm 24.......i never have any sort of professional haircut since february of last year...(i cut my own hair) trust me.i like the long hair look.....i look kinda wierd with me sporting short ones.......my girl says i look ok this way........how bout you...post a pic for your self

THE STEAL/SUPRISING THREAD OF THE WEEK
Its another tie, this time its between Rockwell's "Best STAR-surname for a player. Vote!" and Indypacers "Drilling in Alaska OK'd by senate".

Rockwell's thread is clearly disturbing but it also is interesting to reply to at the same time, why? well maybe because some of us here are desperate to be known as the person who named the next big thing in basketball(even though I doubt that kid will be great). But Rockwell's friendliness and no-hater attitude has spurred on more posters to come in and shoutout names.

Well their was nothing in the NBA talk section that could be called a suprise thread but well back in GT our Pacer Fan/Bush Hater made a thread about the senate he loves so much he actually told the community he likes Filip's guns and would like to use them to Kill President Bush. Anyway Its quite suprising that it went to 2 pages and well is still getting posts just like Rockwell's thread. This thread illustrates the unusual nature of the NLSC community and showed how unpredictable certain topics interest level to the members maybe. Imo this thread is almost similar to that of I Hate Bill Walton(where the hell is he?) "Bush's Ass Kiss Gone thread" and most of my threads(as Jackal has been pointing out )
Ok ok lets move onto our final award.

-drum roll-

"DUN DUN DUN DUN"

THE THREAD OF THE WEEK
Its an old thread and has been there for awhile but it doesnt mean that it cant be regarded as a candidate for these awards. But IMO the thread of the week has to be the "Rap/RnB Thread". Its prolly the most solid long running thread in GT. The rap community gets along very well and I think the guys that post in there(Skiptomylou, Pikss, Colin and even Matt)are good examples on how a forum can be when everyone is ready to have creative discussions. On a side note The Knicks Thread too is another solid long runner(well maybe cause Knicks fans are better than other fans *cough*Lakers*cough*) and even the Bulls thread bka "Hey! Look who's winning again". .

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Anyway thats all for now, Ill expand with more awards and maybe a extra feature or two for next week depending on how well recieve this is. My apologise for grammar and punctuation errors....if u want perfection in English go meet the Queen.
I hope u dont mind Jae

[J@3]

Not a bad effort to be honest, it's alot more difficult to do these threads than it seems. Pretty long too, I'll definitely read it all through

Just finished reading it all... bit of advice, try to lay off "certain" posters a bit in future. I'm guessing they've kinda had enough being flamed and while you're not really flaming them, I just hope they dont' respond in an aggressive manner. Well COOLmac won't, but still.

Yeh I know ......but thats what "deserved" to win the certain "award"...dont worry CoolMac and Dweaver....I honestly am not tryin to pick on u guys here(I told u im tired of flaming).....but after some searching(I searched quite alot).....your stuff was the ideal candidates/winners.....no one's safe....I assure u that.

To Everyone - I just thought Id start this for the fun of it...to give something kinda interesting to read.....yes it maybe offensive to some but dont take it too harshly....its just my opinion....theirs no reason why u cant start a thread of your own and feature me

[Dramacydal]

i want Jae's weekly threads...

[AlwaysWhat,NeverWhy]

Well, surprisingly, it was a fun read. It's more humorous than pun oriented, so I like it. Nice job writing it all up in a non-insulting matter. I actually enjoyed reading it

[Dogg]

there wasn't nothing funny about it, i am/was dead serious

[Hotshot]

A few other people showed up and had their say but none of them was as well taken as Hotshot(aka The Bengali Tiger, because his posting is as rare as the animal). It was a shock that a poster who posts so rarely here came and gave his views on well lets say alot of things, but its all been resolved now so I wont go into details as it might lead to a resurrection.

Just because I don't post here as often doesn't mean that I don't have the right to express my views.
I don't mean to hijack this thread but I just feel I need to reply to Jae's comments in the other thread...
Jae..
No, I'm not trying to say that you should start being more like EG. I actually wanted to write that in the first post but I left that out for some reason. I agree that you do have things covered when it comes to moving/locking threads and the like but being a moderator, you're supposed to step in and stop things from going overboard. What you did in the other thread was the exact opposite of that. You're the one who started it with the homosexual comment when the least you could have done was just let the dweaver and coolmac just carry on with their conversation. To me, that seemed like you were starting a flame war whether you meant to do it or not. I do think that you are one of the more active mods around but you just don't seem to know when you should shut up and let people talk. The fact that you don't like either dweaver or coolmac is apparent from your posts but before you go out and make posts like the the one you made in this thread, think about your position on this forum. If it's ok for a moderator to make posts of that nature then you can't expect the normal posters to do any better. It just affects the whole forum. I wouldn't have cared shit if you were just another poster but that moderator tag on you makes a whole lot of difference.

I'd say the same about you if you posted more than once a month.

I do have a life outside of the internet. I try to check back and see what's happening on the forums every now and then but I've been really busy with exams lately. I never used to post a lot before either, I know, but that's just because sometimes I'm just a little too lazy to read through everything that people posted before posting a response, so I just don't bother.
And just so you know, I could care less about "winning the argument" because for one I think it's retarded to argue with someone who you don't even know. I just want to get my point across, that's it.
To Naomi's reply, no I'm not trying to get anyone's attention here. If that is what I wanted to do, I'd do something along the lines of what Najira does and make a 100 posts a day. All I did was express my concerns on certain things and Jae took it as a "tirade" of some sort. I have no problems speaking my mind and if people get offended by what I have to say, I don't really care.

[Ataraxia]

Dude u do know Im jokin.......I would understand if Dweaver was agitated but u?...even he took it as a good sport........

I never said u cant give your views.....but it was rather odd for a guy that barely takes part in the forum comes in and tells people to calm down and that u've lost respect for them ...I mean it was like me to Jackal that day on saying some tool-ish comments on his life problems.....it was stupid of me because I barely know shit abt him and its wrong to bring up comments of that nature anyhow or anyone......Ive done it to Dweaver and CoolMac......Ive learnt from it and from here on in am not gonna go after them and just flame them with the same old "BibleMac.........Yeti" shit.

To Naomi's reply, no I'm not trying to get anyone's attention here. If that is what I wanted to do, I'd do something along the lines of what Najira does and make a 100 posts a day.

Your definitely seeing x20 cause I post roughly 5 posts per day.....

If you wanted to tell your story to Jae u can just PM him instead of posting it in a completely different thread....I know every thread ends up with posts of no relevance...but if your trying to be such a good member you should have just PM'd Jae with that huge essay u wrote.

Anyway just calm down man......dont take this so seriously.....I have no idea why your so upset over a lil insult.....if I have offended you....and that my posts have caused you to mentally break down and seek counselling then I apologise...

[IronMan]

I like the effort here, really fun to read. Perhaps you and Jae could team up to release some wicked editions.

[Hotshot]

I never said u cant give your views.....but it was rather odd for a guy that barely takes part in the forum comes in and tells people to calm down and that u've lost respect for them

Them? Who do you mean by "them"? I never even had any respect for you to start with

Anyway just calm down man......dont take this so seriously.....I have no idea why your so upset over a lil insult.....if I have offended you....and that my posts have caused you to mentally break down and seek counselling then I apologise...

What the hell? All I ever said to you was this

Just because I don't post here as often doesn't mean that I don't have the right to express my views.

I don't know what part of that makes you think I'm upset at your posts.

[XianeX]

Just to pitch in my two cents: it's not necessary to post a lot to have an opinion and to frequent the board. I often read the threads on the board but feel I have nothing to add therefore I do not post. Don't judge people by their post count because more often than not, it'll be an incorrect view on that person.

[SkipToMy_Lou]

Nice work Najira

Good too see the rap thread getting noticed

[cyanide]

Nice work Najira

Good too see the rap thread getting noticed

Something that you don't see on Jae's threads

[Jackal]

The drama going on now days is so boring.

Same old, same old...

"Jae's a dipshit because he's a moderator that picks on other dipshits."

Lay off folks, he says what you think & is creative enough to make it seem funny. We don't get along with everyone and sometimes we tend to make fun of them. If you aren't the one in the crossfire, shutup & let it be. Let the person defend themselves, if they can't, tough luck.

"Coolmac's too stupid for his own benefit."

We get it. He's not the brightest. Stop stressing it and move on. Go find someone else to pick on to be seen as "cool".

"Dweaver out to prove he's so beyond his teen years & is so mature he becomes immature."

Nothing against you but sometimes the "oh the teen years" crap gets annoying.

"Najira annoying me as usual"...oh wait, never mind.

[GloveGuy]

I'll give it an "E" for effort. But still, Jae, it's either you give us the Weekly Roundup, or we're forced with Najira feeling even more need to post here!

[Fresh8]

Good work Najira!

[Indy]

not bad! i do like jaes more though, i must admit. the power rankings are really great, and his has a great flavor to it

and you do know i was kidding about killing president bush with filip's guns right? well... at least half kidding

[J@3]

I'll give it an "E" for effort. But still, Jae, it's either you give us the Weekly Roundup, or we're forced with Najira feeling even more need to post here!

I might do a "special edition" for my 4000th post and maybe I'll start doing the Weekly Stuff threads again after the NLSC Reality Show is over, but until then I'm sure Najira will do a good job.

As far as what HotShot said, Najira was right. You should've PM'd me, this wasn't the place to post it.

[Null17]

not bad! i do like jaes more though, i must admit. the power rankings are really great, and his has a great flavor to it

i guess it has something to do with people wanting to be in it thus they're excited to see if they made it. plus jae's comments are always fun to read

[Jowe]

It's ok... but not great.

The article is kind of an eye sore trying to figure out the differnt sections and stuff like that.

The comments were way too long, and wasn't funny. I dunno if that was the intention, if was then good job.

[Doobie]

good job najira , i think next issue (if ever) you should do power rankings , altleast top 10 . but this is a good try on matching jae's thread /5

[The X]

I wouldn't try to copy jae's....if you're gonna do it, just spin some random stuff together and it'll probably work

I like the steal/suprising thread of the week as I hadn't read the alaska one until you mentioned it here because of it's boring name....

[Ataraxia]

yeh I dont want to copy and paste Jae's stuff(even though the basic idea is taken from him)....

Ill add 2 or 3 more features for next week.......I dunno I might expand and give a dynasty power rankings......also stuff like Pic of the Week and do a three little pigs and the big bad wolf section(u'll see what it is next week).

Anyway yeh Ill think of some ideas.....n since this has recieved in an OK manner....Ill definitely do my best to make it more interesting and have a wider orientation of stuff for the next round up.

BTW, dont expect me to be as funny as Jae.....some ppl are born with the ability to make ppl laugh....whilst some get their cracks from retarded/bad jokes aka ME.

[COOLmac©]

mmmmmmmmmm cool enough for up
