> [@Silver Tyger Girl](#): > > **freakalette** , because of her self-confidence. Although she should post more, darnit. Great Og, girl! You must have me confused with someone else. šŸ˜› Hereā€™s the top few names on my list, in no particular order: **faithfool** , who is like a crazy awesome aunt who has all the wisdom of an elderly relative, an all the hipness of a teenager. **Asimovian** , who shares my love of crass humour, and is far sweeter and kinder than he would want you to believe. **Justin Credible** , laid back and always willing o recommend me new music and comics. **WhyNot** and **olivesmarch4th** , the ladies I want to be when I grow up. The Tolkien trio of **Skald** , **Quadgop** , and **What Exit?** , who are witty and intelligent, but donā€™t make me feel like a dummy. I have tons more, because I tend to have things I like about all of you, but those I named are on my ā€œDream Dopefestā€ list. ---

**Sampiro** He writes about his experiences with wit and humor, and his patience when dealing with everything heā€™s been through is really inspiring. **olivesmarch4th** I thought she was an absolute sweetheart when I first came here, and sheā€™s never done or said anything to refute my original opinion. **TokyoPlayer** The love he has for his wife and child shine through so much in his posts, and the fact that he has consciously ended the cycle of abuse he underwent is amazing to me. ---

Iā€™ll get Pitted for this, but here I am anyway, posting because I was told to! šŸ˜ƒ Sorry to those who like my posts; learning guitar is killing my free time, plus I have been spending lots of time on IMing a few folks. Will try to show up more often, okay? ---

> [@Chimera](#): > > Is it time for the bi-monthly Doper Popularity Contest again? :rolleyes: Do you have a similar reaction to pitting of posters? It seems to me sad if you think itā€™s only okay to be slagging people off. Iā€™ll echo some others and say that I think **even sven** has matured incredibly in the last few years, and I do mean that in the nicest of ways. ---

> [@Chimera](#): > > Is it time for the bi-monthly Doper Popularity Contest again? :rolleyes: I donā€™t seek to begin any sort of contest. I do seek to encourage posters to think and speak well of one another; it makes for a more congenial and inviting atmosphere. ---

Let me another one to vote for **WhyNot**. Not only does she have the most inspirational name, she writes the most inspirational posts. **Dolores Reborn** for giving up so much time to run the Feuds so well. **Diogenes the Cynic** and **Der Trihs** - not that I agree with either 100% of the time, but the boards would be a lot duller without them. ---

My absolute favorite poster is **Sam Stone**. He is this boardā€™s most valuable conservative. Other than that, I like a whole lot of posters, but especially: **Stranger on a Train** , **Quadgop the Mercotan** , **Chronos** , **Worm the Red** , **Siam Sam** , **Sampiro** , and others, so donā€™t be offended if I left you out! šŸ˜‰ Valete, Vox Imperatoris ---

Of the Brit Dopers, I look out for posts by **FRDE** , **Lust4life** , **Mangetout** , and **Lobsang**. There are too many others, but Iā€™m especially glad to see that so many ex-posters have returned. ---

Iā€™ll second **QtM DtC Shayna Jodi Rick** And just about all the mods and SDSAB members Iā€™ve ever seen here, past and present (Iā€™m not a suck up-- I really do find what they have to say even in their non-mod posts interesting). Also, **Fenris** (doesnā€™t seem to be around much anymore, but he brings back memories of how things used to be around here), **Una Persson** , and Iā€™m still a fan of **Scylla** , even though he too doesnā€™t seem to post much anymore. Oh, and Iā€™m also a big fan of **Rubystreak**. She (?) is always the poster child of sensible, patient, to-the-point posting. ---

That said, 'Mika, you yourself rock, 'specially when youā€™re insisting that certain bloviators on the board stop being a dick about philology & usage & such. Iā€™ve been good! I donā€™t believe Iā€™ve complained once. As a matter of fact, Iā€™ve been reading the ā€œget your answers about the One Ringā€ thread pretty thoroughly and interestedly. Not a peep of complaintā€¦tho I was tempted once or twice. ---
