Ownage of the Year - Nominations

[silverpig]

Every year someone does an official AT forums "Ownage of the Year" thread, posting threads occurring on anandtech exhibiting pure ownage. To those familiar with these threads, they need no further introduction. To those new here, well, they're my favourite time of year.

I know it's a little early, but we're getting close to the end of November and I was hoping that whoever usually does them starts one again soon. I'm looking forward to it.

Until the official thread surfaces, I deem this the unofficial thread where we can start to talk about some candidates.

(upon searching, it appears the person who did these threads was MercenaryForHire, who last visited "2/1/2008 6:25:40 PM" and there are threads for 2004, 2005, and 2006, but none for 2007. Maybe we need a combined 2007/2008 thread?)

edit: Thread for 2007

edit2: M4H is AWOL. I'll do it. This thread is for nominations. Once sufficient ownage has been posted I'll make a new thread with a shiny pole.


Nominations:

1. Pat Threw - Help me hack my stolen school hard drive.
2. jonks - G20 don't want to touch Bush.
3. zanejohnson - I hung with a C4 Corvette today from 60-140
4. fritolays - Once a girl loses interest, how possible is it get it back?
5. CasioTech - Internet fattie pics on photobucket
6. travisray2004 - My brother stole my car!
7. Polish3d - Teachers Facebook creepin'
8. DIxyCrat - hulu vs. RoadRunner
9. Googer - Vista Sucks
10. glugglug - Oil and gold prices didn't change Friday! Conspiracy! (It was a holiday)

I nominate the "Im gonna make 1,000,000 in one year" thread. People called him out on it a year later, which was July IIRC?

Didn't M4H disappear off the face of the planet?

Yeah, I don't know what happened to him...

The epic casiotech thread comes to mind. I have probably gotten badly owned and forgotten about it also.

He is my gimp, like in Pulp Fiction. In fact, as I write this I can hear his whimpers.

This or Diesel.

The former forced the OP to change his user name. The latter resulted in the long-desired permaban.

there was a 2007 thread

[BarneyFife]

can someone post a link to the diesel thread

Someone recently mentioned the mods owning some kid that stole computer equipment from his school. That was quite the excellent ownage, someone should link that, I'm too lazy.

 

[Eeezee]

Why don't YOU create it?

 

[OCGuy]

DMcowen's gas thread in P&N should take the crown EVERY YEAR.

Odd. I searched "ownage of the year" in the title and got all the other threads but not 2007...

Well I was hoping MercenaryForHire would do it, but I guess I might as well seeing as how he's AWOL.

I dunno - that was pretty much self-ownage. IMO posting about running out to get a "loaf of bread" at 3AM then offroading in a fucking Liberty was pretty good.
