Just so everyone knows what we’re talking about: Opal actually has taken down the Teeming Millions Homepage. The links to it, and any of its content, now reach nonexistent pages.
Oh, I almost forgot. Since the voting has apparently stopped, I need to change my sig!

Sheesh Jill, you just aren’t going to let that FIT comment drop are you? Little did I realize at the time how much it would affect you! If it will make you feel better, feel free to call me a FID!

The Teeming Millions Page is still down.
Opal, Falcon said it best, I think: not everyone will like what you do. But you might want to concentrate on the people that do appreciate your efforts. You might not be my favourite poster on these boards, in fact I think I disagree with you on the majority of subjects we ever talked/posted/chatted over, but I do appreciate all the work and time you put into the Teeming Millions page.
If a few harsh comments from people who are not particularly interested in “popularity contests” (and yes, I know the Awards are actually quite a bit more than that) are all it takes for you to take the entire page down, I can only tell you one thing.
In all honesty: you are taking this shit WAY too seriously.
I hope you reconsider.

Oooo! Oooo! I’ve got a new catergory:
Poster Most Likely to Overreact to Minor Criticism
Plunging like stones from a slingshot on Mars.
Yeah, but Frank, that could really be a close race…
What are you trying to say!? You Bastard! How dare you. After all the thought and effort I put into that category, you are so insensitive to my needs as question its feasibility.
I’ll show you. I’m going to burn my house down in protest. AND, I’m going to slit my nostrils like they did to Jack Nicholson in Chinatown. Next, I’m going to smash all my Elvis collector plates, tape a baseball game without the express permission of Major League Baseball, shave my head and wear sackcloth and ashes to my senior prom.
Then you’ll be sorry you cricized me!

Since we’re talking about the voting, sorta . . . .
Who is the butthole who nominated me for Crankiest and Oldest Poster???
I’m only 37 years old and sweet as molasses!
Assholes.
You better be nice or I’ll sic my lackeys on ya.
Got me, and everyone I know, beat by 12 years.

You just shut the hell up.

It was probably one of your mindless lackeys finally rebelling against your tyrannical rule. One of them most likely became tired of fulfilling your every whim. That’ll teach you to try and be a ruthless leader.
Wow, that voting thing sure was fun. Not at all controversial or overly dramatized.
Mull - GAWD, don’t even say things like that! I mean, what the hell am I gonna do if I don’t have lackeys around to protect me.
I feel so, so, so. . . . . vulnerable.
You better be nice or I’ll sic my lackeys on ya.
You seem to have established yourself as a heartless despot by this point. I think it is time you ditched the lackeys. I know, it will be difficult.
But, I propose you replace them with a healthy mixture of peons, yes-men, henchmen, and a couple of ne’er-do-wells. You seem ready for the transition, and I think you have shown the proper level of evil and cliqueishness to truly step your dominating dominion up to the next level.
Wow, that voting thing sure was fun. Not at all controversial or overly dramatized.
Don’t forget a couple of thugs and gun molls.
Ooh, can I be a gun moll? Pretty please with chocolate sprinkles and dancing boys?
Do you have any idea how hard it is to find qualified minions nowadays?
