Okay, so…this thread probably won’t get many replies and it might be seen as one of those masturbatory popularity cheerfests (where at least one poster will probably mention about how they’re not listed for anything, either jokingly or seriously)…but I wanted to make it just to give some credit where credit is due for once and really tell some posters how much their opinion really does get noticed and is valued (at least by me, but I’m guessing many others).
We have in our midst a bunch of posters who you always look forward to replying to threads of a certain subject, or–if not–at least–if they show up and post in a topic of that particular subject–you gleefully read their reply, a little happier than normal that they posted and shared their opinion on it. I know I have certain posters that, when I open a thread about a specific subject or some big issue/news event/update pertaining to said subject, I hope have replied giving their thoughts to…and I’m guessing there are others who have their own posters for different things.
I was inspired to make this thread due to recent posts that happened in the Prince passing away thread, where one of the posters I really like to see in any topic related to music got engaged in a bit of a debate in it and it made me want to let this poster know that I appreciate their thoughts in that topic and–really–in all topics related to music, in general. See, I bet that some of you know who I’m talking about even before I mention his name. If you think I’m talking about Wordman, you’re right.
But anyway, it’s not just him. There is a plethora of posters who I always enjoy reading posts by in a myriad of different subject matters…and here’s a few of them.
When it comes to anything regarding food, I love posts by JohnnyL.A., silenus, or pulykamell. Oh, sure, there’s others…but these three are the names that immediately always spring to mind when I think “food” and open up a food thread hoping for their opinions on the matter, whatever that matter may be.
When it comes to movies, I enjoy seeing posters like Mahaloth and especially Equipoise give their thoughts. Equipoise alone is sort of like an automatic, movie-watching machine in human form. He sees a lot of them and I trust his judgement in film fully. And then we have my “guilty pleasure” of Leaffan, who will often give his thoughts on a movie long after the movie has come out and upon his first viewing of it…often having an opinion of the movie that I don’t agree with at all, yet whenever he makes them, I still open them, curious to see his opinion.
When it comes to games, there are a lot of posters I would follow or subscribe to their newsletters, if I could. Johnny Bravo, Jophiel, and of course Kinthalis are all posters I hold in high regard when it comes to their gaming opinions. Also, Mahaloth again, he’s just not good with the movie thoughts, but also the game ones. And also: Der Trihs.
Even TV has a few posters I usually like reading posts by in those shows that I do watch. Little Nemo. Ellis Dee, and Acsenray, in particular, are posters I like reading thoughts by in those topics about those shows that they have an interest in.
How about when it comes to politics? I’m not interested in politics very much and rarely open the Elections or Great Debate forums, but when I do…I always like hearing anything John Mace has to say.
And when there’s talk about law or breaking it going on, I look for posts by Loach or Bricker often to see what they think about the thing being discussed.
And finally, like I said in my first example: Wordman is appreciated in most all threads music. He’s got very extensive knowledge about a very wide range of bands and songs and I always look forward to anything he has to say.
I’m just one person, though…and there are certainly way more subjects than I’ve listed here. Are there any posters you like hearing from when it comes to any specific subject or topic?
