I kind of want to nominate Lumberjim, but I can't find any of his threads.

Dunno.  He was just obsessive.  Not on the same scale as Cowass, The Lamanite, or AKK.  I mean, these guys were TITANS of fail.

Yeah, but he was so persistently annoying, popping into various threads and derailing them in his quest for attention.

But he didn't produce any epic troll threads of his own so, ultimately, I agree with you. I just feel like he deserves honorable mention.


Dishonorable mentions are possible, I think.  Cram?

Yes, absolutely.  Cram was a massive troll failure.  He deserves honorable mention.

 :argh!:


It occurs to me that a lot of this bullshit isn't technically trolling, it's just hilarious extended drama. From one angle, you might say the the PD members were the real trolls because they're the ones that pushed the poster in question to keep responding for like 50 pages. The aini rape thread (for example) was actually just a heated discussion with hilarious results.

so would it be best to nominate indivdual threads? posters?

should we inform the winners when they've won?

I think that for the purposes of this thread, threads should be named, rather than trolls. We can have a poll for best troll (intentional or not) of all time, too.

I know I'm obviously biased, but the best troll campaign ever run on PD.com was the year-long one undertaken by Cain, Roger, and myself which resulted in the regime change.

Also, the Jihaad that drove the Yogi Bear Cabal out.

But we'd have to include Hugh, so fuck that.

Not enough old timers around to remember them but Merlin of Chaos and Malcalypse the Tertiary had some pretty significant fail moments.

That's not old school.  Old school was Tyler, PD's very first troll.

All over the board.  It was very, very messy.

What finally did it was the fact that the old Mgt wanted a bunch of us to leave (had even banned me for being "too chaotic" at one point).  So we did.  ECH hung around and said "I told you so" as content turned into and endless series of "PIE!", "STABBITY", and "TEQUILA", and Hugh endlessly retitling the same rants. 

At some point, Lauren had the brilliant idea of anonymous mods, which killed ALL remaining conversations.

Lauren finally had enough, and turned the board over to ECH, and slunk off to whatever wet rock she lives under now.

The mods at the time were:  Lauren, Bella (whom I *personally* don't hold as accountable as the others), Malaul, Hugh (who ran about 30 alts, all designed to attack Cain, ECH, and myself, among a few others, while pretending to be the "reasonable" one), and Slarti (who resigned when I called him on some heavy handed shit and congratulated him on adjusting so well to the Bush era).  Eldora was their resident ass-lamprey, and insured that the drama never stopped.

They're all gone now.  With the exception of Bella, I don't miss any of those fuckers. 

Oh, yeah, Hugh also read everyone's PMs and forwarded them to whomever would be most offended.
