Wrapping up 2017

Forums:

As we near the end of 2017 and also the one year mark for Viva (Dec 1) the the Academy is accepting nominations for this years Zonies.  

The Academy is in negotiations with 2015 ZOTY St Mark to see if he'll host this years Zonies.  This year there's so few of us there's a good chance everybody could win an award.  Admin is expected to deliver the State Of Viva address on Friday Dec 1 at 9am EST, and the Zonies will be Friday Dec 8 at 2pm MST.  We're still working on simulcasting the Zonies to .net and reddit and we'll keep you posted as we get closer to the date.  This years Zonies is brought to you by The Family Band, Liquid Blue, and Hasbro Hacky Sacks. 

It will be the best Zonies yet with many special appearances from Zoners past and present, so mark your calenders. 

Feel free to post your nominations for various Zonies (categories and zoners) in this thread.  The Academy will consider all suggestions.

 

I'd like to kick off the nominations by nominating Bucky Badger for the 2017 ZOTY.  He captured my heart right from the get go with his anti Italian American slurs.  The guy is one of the funniest, wittiest Zoners here and we're lucky he hasn't been banned yet.

 

 

>>This year there's so few of us there's a good chance everybody could win an award

Things have changed.  Disco Stu comes to mind in the event we have a participation award.

The Alex Koford award for participation despite lack of substance

We should have a still crazy after all these years award.

The Academy has just awarded Timmy the Don Kirshner Memorial Video Tribute;

Celebrities-- Sigh.

This Hoover is a bore. 

 

Wake me up in 2018.

i ilke buckyb, who's this rosebud dude?

This is a time-honored tradition.

>>>>>>We should have a still crazy after all these years award.

 

I'd nominate Puddles with his Seedbank Pedophile thread, and Gdad just for being him.  Love ya Comrade Rovski.  You lurking?

I know I speak for every Zoner when I say this is going to be a very special event. As a 7x ZOTY, I'm truly honored to be hosting.

I'd like to nominate McDoodie with the special O-60 in 4.9 Seconds award. Nobody goes faster than McDoobs. Nobody, motherfucker!

 

i always liked the "most likely to awards"....

 

 

most likely to fill tulsa chris void...for example, ya know, if there was a void...well, theres a void, but, maybe a  void by another name...

 

ok, never mind that one...how bout

 

most likely to see at a show...roshambo nomination for example...

 

i, personally, am trying to break my own record of last year w lowest thread count....i started six threads in 2016, and had 5 total posts...tough to beat a negative 1, but, i gave it my best shot this year to defend title

Tough race for creepiest creepster award this year

For thread of the year I’d like to nominate Briand’s Al-Zero thread: https://www.vivalazone.org/other-stuff/al-zero-every-official-cd-release...

Oh, the brutality

Enlighten us.

>>>Wake me up in 2018.

 

Are you going to Japan? 

>> Enlighten us.

I'm in the same boat as you, not sure if there's a nominating committee or if it's write ins or what have you.

Go ahead and post your nominations here, gang.

The Academy will review your submissions, and make determinations based on an esoteric, highly political process which will remain a mystery to all but the most innie of innie zoners.

Good luck, everyone!

It's a stressful time of year. 

Arbitrary Meltdowns -

We’ve got some of our best people working on writing overly verbose introductions for each category.

 

For example:

”a quality zoner is one that knows when to pull back before embarrassing themselves past a point of no return, one that knows their level of discourse has devolved to the point of not only tarnishing their screen name but lessening the quality of the entire board. The nominees for most use of self control is:”

Best restaurant advice to vacationing zoner - I nominate the Denver Zoners 

The latest nomination for Most Transparent Group Sock Handle could be a shoe-in.

Mind you, it's a very very tiny shoe (especially to fit so many complex relationships in).

Cool thread

 field is crowded for biggest douche

could be a douche--off this year, for sure

Look at that moon!

Wrapping Up '17. I'll chime in around Dec 20.

>>>>ThePhilZone.net field is crowded for biggest douche

 

>>>>most likely to fill tulsa chris void.

 

We’ll have 5.3333333367 seconds of silence for him.

 Most in need of a Big O?

Do I need to spell it out, or is it clear enough?

BK, glad you stopped by.  As ZOTY 1999-2000 we’d like to have you present an award or two.

 

>>>>Most in need of a Big O?

Probably Thom or Hillman. Honorable mention Java Dave.

2000-2001

The year is important. It was my hay day and all.

I’d like to give the award for “Biggest Nobody Zoner of the Year,” if I may.

Would both you crybabies like to see a good thread?

Most in need of Timmy’s Prozac - Slackadoodle Doo

<<<The latest nomination for Most Transparent Group Sock Handle could be a shoe-in

 

lol. no doubt.

as transparent as my great grandmothers skin.

this is looking like the thread to watch, folks.

Slacker, go back over to thephilzone.net. You belong there too.

I think ole Slacks has had a pretty good year.  He’s definitely a hot topic at .net and all up in PepeFrogs dome.

Trigger warning for Slack...

COLLEGE

Don't forget the, "kissed so much ass to admin to stop playing in the banned, & rewarded a chance to viva again" award.

 

That's a top notch award right there!

Shout out to the dotnet'ers for holding down the negative zone.

 

Yes, I dare bring up OG's good name!

Who’s ass did I miss Doobs.  I gave them shit about banning me for no reason and said I think they’re doing a piss poor job.  I’d like to see the ass kissing.  Post some links.

>>>Slacker, go back over to thephilzone.net. You belong there too.

 

why? OG said he's done posting there and you both keep returning here so I think this is the place. 

 

Most Goodbye Cruel Sone Statements is a toss up between McDoobs and Rick

Hello cruel Zone.

Poor McDonald 

There’s a group sock handle here? I thought people had to leave their socks at the door.

I love this shit. So may cool friends I’ve made on the internet 

Nancy has got to receive something for her relentless trolling of turtle.  

>>> i ilke buckyb, who's this rosebud dude?

 

 

he was a sled the whole time.

why? OG said he's done posting there and you both keep returning here so I think this is the place. << Creek sleeping on your couch? Please put the crack pipe down, son.

 

I haven't seen one post that resembles the shit that spews from OG's trap.

 

Judit WILL NOT LET HIM POST- HOWEVER, she was out numbered by fellow admin to let young Atiex back as well as socal douch-kid Hoover.

Right wing society round these parts. When you two ass clowns(Hoover & Latex) were allowed re-admission to Viva, did it happen to come with some free Bump Stocks courtesy of Viva admin?

Can I ask an honest question, why do you all dislike each other so much?

Lol BK

<<<I’d like to see the ass kissing.  Post some links.

 

I heard you bought them all cats.

Those cats needed homes.  It was a win win.

lol, a well timed roughed up ginger pic will never get old. 

Same with the hence meme.

>>For thread of the year I’d like to nominate Briand’s Al-Zero thread: https://www.vivalazone.org/other-stuff/al-zero-every-official-cd-release...

lol, a real showstopper!

lol, maybe a show stopper, but no one on that thread has a thread started in .net in that person's name. Take a gander some time. lol

>>>>>>>lol, maybe a show stopper, but no one on that thread has a thread started in .net in that person's name. Take a gander some time. lol

 

Fake news.  I've posted in that thread and had a thread started about me on garbagezone.

Well I guess it's a right to passage.

Internet notch on the belt?

Cringe

Anarchy

>>Yes, I dare bring up OG's good name!<<

 

jesus h. christ dude. all you have ever done is post about that guy. look i got nothing against you or him personally, as i've never met y'all. i also am against 99% of bannings and anything that curtials free speech. i mean, i get it. but maybe some of the others that got back in also do more than shit stir and act like a 8 yr old. 

your constant refrencing to the orange dude is just fucking weird. 

Good call, Turts.

 

This thread made me peek in at that other dumpster fire and this jumped out...

 

Meh. Viva handles are like motel soap

....which is funny considering he's posting in this thread.

 

The only question is which one is Scut Farkus and which one is Grover Dill?

>>>>>This thread made me peek in at that other dumpster fire and this jumped out...

 

BK, do you or Gravy want to act as the liason between Viva and .net for the Zonies? 

Slacker has kind of dropped the ball on reporting on the goings on over there lately.

Just peeked real quick did ya? hmm? yes?

That place is like a lake of sad & angry gasoline.

>>>>reporting on the goings on over there lately.

a handle named drumspace just joined. Other than that it's 

just consumer watchdog talk from frEd and smiley faces from Kirby. 

>>BK, do you or Gravy want to act as the liason between Viva and .net for the Zonies? 

Definitely above my pay grade.

>>>just consumer watchdog talk from frEd and smiley faces from Kirby. 

that and the occasional 'I gave a friends teenage daughter a job' thread

Timmy, Hounder just took the job. The pay isn't great, but the working environment and benefits make it worth it.

there's pay?

Yeah, but it's Bangladeshi child labor pay.

>>>>a handle named drumspace just joined

 

This has been coming for a long, long time.

Why are you all so invested in that place? You generally don't like its inhabitants, and don't want them here, so why spend time on it at all? It seems like it's a win/win for everyone.

Who are you all?

I spend zero time there.  Do they talk about Viva over there?

 

I don't want to step on Hounder's toes by answering.

C'mon, just look up in this thread. Plenty of people check it out.

It's ok, I resign

Maybe Sarah Huckabee Sanders will do the job.

I just sent an email to Jimmy Carter

I am expecting to receive my nomination any day now for the "Most Passive Aggressive Conspiracy Theorist Zoner" Zoney!

I would be flattered if I was in the running for this year's coveted "MPACTZ" Zoney Award!  

>>>>>right to passage.

 

Sorry, BL, but I can't help myself. This one's beyond the pale.

 

It's "rite of passage".

Woodstock was a mismanaged fiasco that proved hippies could never be trusted in positions of leadership. Fact. 

Woodstock is a loyal bird, to a loyal dog....true story.

>>>>>Woodstock is a loyal bird, to a loyal dog....true story.

 

On a related note my 5 year old sometimes accidentally calls Charlie Brown Bob Marley and it cracks me up.

It's looking like HerbalDave is a shoe-in for the Mens Warehouse Most Consecutive Pushups award.  Looking forward to using some of the video footage in our lookback at 2017 montage.

Be pretty funny if they turned out to be this kind:

nestle-pushup-orange-small.jpg

Ah, the prestigious most consecutive push-ups award brought to u by men's warehouse.

you're gonna like how many push-ups u can do, they guarantee it!

Just try our new "spring" line!

Okay gang.  Tomorrow is Admin is the State Of Viva address on Friday Dec 1 at 9am EST, and the Zonies will be Friday Dec 8 at 2pm MST

Last chance to get in any nominations.

Pretty sure the David Cassidy thread is sure to take RIP thread of the year.

i nominate whoever is afraid to buy bitcoin 

Surely I can be nominated for something?

Zoner most likely to have a meltdown.

I hope plf1999-2005 is ok, dude came off as slightly unstable at times. All the best to you, bud. 

who will win for lamest warning email?

I like the threads where graivy melts down after being accused of Native American cultural appropriation. 

Latex should get an award for keeping us up to date on wax we won't buy from him or amazon.

Or maybe St. Mark deserves an award for rooting for folks to "stroke out"

Who should get the award for the “Downright Meanest Zoner”?

Bipolar

I don’t think Brian or RR6 really get it.  This is supposed to be light hearted and fun.  That’s why nobody is nominating people for shitty awards but RR6.  If I wanted to be mean and nominate RR6 for something mean she’d freak out and post 100 pictures of cats and 50 of aging rockstars.

 

Get over it RR6.  You’re a terrible troll and you’re just gonna walk yourself into another situation where you get your feelers hurt again.

Isn’t it all lighthearted fun?

I don’t think calling people mean is fun or very clever.

I get that she doesn’t like a few of us and is trying to be a dick or troll or something but go with zoner most likely to head to the bathroom at a show and end up in the ER.  Something funny and zone related.  Not just the grumblings of a disgruntled posting hot flash incarnate.

too bad rrg won't stroke out and go the fuck away. 

how about rrg for the 3 legged bitch award? 

You said you’d consider all categories.

It is Zone related. Plenty of folks are mean, just for the hell of it. There should be an award.

Everything ok today, pyramid?

And, it’s not just the meanest, but rather the Downright Meanest, which makes it more fun.

>>>> Plenty of folks are mean, just for the hell of it. There should be an award. 

 

Skipper got a timeout for only posting as a meanie. Invite her to gripes.net. 

yeah im cool. great day in vermont. 

Timmy and the little losers crew sling shit here day and night

when someone slings some back

they cry like the little bitches that they are

and go right for the gut punch post

every

fucking

time

boo motherfucking hoo

melt baby meltttttttttt bwahahaha 

>>>>>You said you’d consider all categories

 

We will.  You still didn’t nominate anybody.

It seems to be a self-nominating category.

>> when someone slings some back

What would be an appropriate thread to ritualistically shitpost in?

John Coltrane thread?

Sorry Bri but that’s not how it works.  You nominate a Zoner for an award.  You seem to be missing half the equation.

Has rrg posted about anything in the last week other than the zoners she obviously dislikes?

 

Seems like a lot of work to be this angry all the time.

Me no are no nice guy

>> Has rrg posted about anything in the last week other than the zoners she obviously dislikes?

She posted a couple threads that she's now self-sabotaging. She also posted her age, I guess, although I would have assumed from her behavior/grammar/outbursts that she was roughly a quarter the age she indicated she was.

>> Seems like a lot of work to be this angry all the time.

Indeed. Doesn't seem healthy.

 She also posted her age

 

Actually I posted my age when i attended the JVC Jazz Festival.

Nice to see you're paying attention, and that You can do basic math.

I'm pretty excited about the 2017 Zonies.

 Cutest Zoner Couple: Ateix and RRG

Please don't post to or about me, BrianK. 

I hope this is the last time I have to tell you but your advances are unwelcome and make me uncomfortable.

Looks like (another) HR investigation is headed your way, BK.

Want my Allen Edmonds coupon?

I got one, man. Picked up the Higgins Mill boots last Friday.

Actually taking them back. Pretty disappointed.

 Did I miss this years awards ??!!!

Dec 8th ???

Bump for answers !!!

best dicumentary....Dogman

 

the technical artwork only surpassed by Judits colorful displays...Dogs work in black and white was nothing short of horrendous and should be recognized

 

slackers vegetables get a dishonorable mention
