How about most forgettable poster? I nominate myself for that. I think it’s the username. No one can remember my username, because it’s not hip or funny or snappy or disgusting or anything like that. ---

**RickJay** , that is gonna be real hard to beat. I once started a thread that got no responses, and I just want to say I feel better knowing that I’m not the only one. Now then, the reason I am the worst poster ever is… I dunno, maybe because I start so few threads? I usually lurk in other people’s, then post something pointless. Like now, for instance. ---

There was a post once of mine in the Pit (which I was unable to find in a search … it’s from the first six months or so of my existence here) wherein I quoted someone a LOT and … well, I was still fairly new, and I hadn’t gotten that whole “[/\*\*\*\*quote]” thing down yet. I just tried to duplicate it and was unsuccessful. Looks like a quote doesn’t become a quote unless you have lots of [/\*\*\*\*quote] tags. It was, shall we say, massive. And not in the happy fun way. ---

Bah. You only need one per [q\*\*\*\*uote] tag… I must be losing my mind. ---

Personally, I think the criteria should be some combination of high number of spelling/grammar mistakes and low response count for threads started by the nominated poster. In the meantime, since **unclviny** is the only admitted SDMB poster that I actually know, I’ll vote for him. Now, if there was a “most mediocre poster”, I’d surely be in the running for that… ---

Don’t give up \*\* unclviny\*\*. There could be a prize involved here. You could just win a two week all-expenses paid vacation to one of Louisiana’s finest beachfront properties. Wouldn’t that be a big treat? ---

Me. The guy who thought up my user name was a largely unacclaimed journalist who died nearly seventy years ago, with a really tragic life. And the cat whose name I bear was largely a loser too, despite her motto of toujours gai archy, toujours gai. [Read it and weep.](http://www.ennes.org/donmarquis/bio.htm#top) “Broke, disabled and blind, Marquis died December 29, 1937”. ☹ I also have been known to end arguments with brilliant observations like, “Oh yeah? Well…you’re a CHICKEN!!” instead of getting the cites. Actually, that’s how Al Bundy ends arguments, but you get the idea. ---
