Norwood's on Fire
Would the posters of the last decade have stood up to the challenges presented in modern era BOTMs?
Look at the Role call:
00s:
Pickup
Brumby
Vimes
Sm00teh
10s:
Burgey
Gasin Myheart
Fred
Jono*
No disprespect to those from the 00s, but surely the evolution of the forum and countless vBulletin upgrades discount the worth of the pre-2010 titles? Back then, posting was easy, you just argued with Richard, an easy way to pad your stats. Tighter moderation at the turn of the decade meant it was harder to do this as you were more likely to be 'given out' than back then. And there were less people posting in the 00s, which obviously means it's easier to be good.
Therefore, none of the 00s winners can be the greatest poster of all time. Apologies.
