Yes, I wouldn't be worried. You could have a kid, he/she could join, have Powerbook G6 as a nic, and be waiting around in tense anticipation for years on end just like their old pa did for the G5!

What a legacy you might gift these forums. ;)

And we should give your kid something to aspire to while waiting for updates - my vote to PowerbookG5!

jelloshotsrule - yes, make a new thread. That could be a fun one.

This has got to be the stupidest thread I've seen here in a long time. (No, I didn't see 'Part I'). Best Macrumors member of the year? How the hell do you measure such a thing? Please describe what you mean by best. The funniest? The most helpful? The wittiest? WHAT? And what are you doing treating people like things for? Best person? No one has achieved anything here, so no sense giving out awards. "Ooh someone can actually write sentences that make some sense! Wow, let's give that person an award!"

Ima joking! That's only because IBM is producing the G5.

If it was Motorola the name may have been good for at least 5 years once they shipped, but would probably have been at least 2 years before Motorola actually got it out the door.

My point entirely, do you think J-lo would be entirely tactful and sensitive in revealing his nomination for worst member?

No.

Would it turn into a flame fest?

Yes.

Flames get put out in the wasteland, which is located in the Marianas Trench (http://www.geocities.com/thesciencefiles/marianas/trench.html) ;)

No worries there....

But you're right, as soon as someone starts the name calling for the worst member, things will go bad. Not many people can handle constructive criticism, outright bashing would be even worse.

D Sort of sucks when a Mac site goes PC.

Can't even flame a PC weenie, because you'll hurt their feelings.

A site with a political forum, and they expect you to remain politically correct.

A little naïve there wdlove?

What would you think if people started picking at all the members they didn't like? It would end up in the wasteland in no time. There's no free flow of ideas when it comes to complaining. We've had those threads before, they always end badly.

Having a "worst member of the year" thread could get interesting. In all honesty, I am sure that we could all see ourselves mentioned at least once under that topic for various reasons... ;) We'll just have to remember to keep an open mind and realize it isn't a personal attack on any one person.

Oooh! Ooooh! I'm the worst member of the year! Absolutely! I managed to get banned for spamming (Albeit temporarily and without knowkedge or forethought), I'm constantly pestering everyone for tips and advice, then I turn around and act all condescending to other people (Forgive me this, I beg you, I used to work at the Aspen Grove Apple Store.) And I only have about 100 posts!! I'm the worst! I'm the worst! Huzzah!

Oh yeah, and I vote Capt Underpants for best member, with Powerbook G5 in close second. No one can beat a person who's nick is from a character that has given me the name "Poopsie Bananapants".

No, wait, I change my vote again. tazo. He may not be qualified (joined too early) but he's the incumbant, and we all know incumbants often win without being qualified!

That's just my two cents...
