Honorable Mention
IrishTP

In this small class, we have three active moderators and several well-known posters. Many of which are responsible for bringing the lighter side to the board. Considering its size, this class is undoubtedly a grand slam signing.

(Note: If you're a member from 2011 with 2000+posts and not on this list, let me know!)

[Irish YJ]

Me too, so much snubbery these days.

 

[BleedBlueGold]

Ah so close. May 2011. But I don't have 2000+ posts...1500+ for me.

I've been snubbed from the Snub team. That's pretty low.

I must admit that when I first saw the title, I thought an emphasized goat. As in the animal. As in a none-too-flattering reference.

When I finally figured out that it's an acronym and what it stood for, I smacked my forehead and relaxed.

ESM*???

Isn't "GOAT" also a synonym for an elderly, bearded fellow or a broad?

What kind of facial hair do you sport, dshans?

Wellllllll ... I have my winter beard (for now and the foreseeable future) and I've been known to get a bit randy now and then, though it's been a while.

I refer you to John Barth's book Giles Goat Boy.

 

[BeauBenken]

Updated the 2011 class with posters who had over 2000 and let me know. Also threw in TP with an honorable mention.

That's three active mods, a helluva group of posters, and The Irish Turningpoint...

Lol- wut? At what point did mod = quality, informed, entertaining, and/or humorous poster?

I don't think this matters all that much to us peons, the 99+% of IE, the bread and butter of IE, the heart and soul of IE.

Try and win the vote based on the content of our character...not the status of our title on IE.

 

[clashmore_mike]

Are you questioning the content of your fellow classmates' character?

I figured taking on moderation duties was a "relevant accolade" as the OP suggests. I know I may not be considered "quality, informed, entertaining, and/or humorous" but I would most definitely consider Clash and Whiskeyjack all of those things and more. You don't have to account for me, but those two guys right there do their share of moderating AND contribute greatly to the posting community.

TheIrishTP is simply honorable mention. So yes, it's a bit of name dropping. His posting on this site has not garnered being labeled as part of the class (he's under 2000 posts), however his insight and insider information is a valuable part of the community even though frequently he is not the one presenting it. Instead it is passed through other posters.

So you can say that I'm not a valuable poster. That's fine. But Whiskeyjack and Clash are helluva posters and on top of that quality moderators. You don't have to like the IrishTP, but you're honestly a bit out of your mind to think that his info doesn't contribute to this site. All of those guys are respected for the work they do, so that's why I mentioned their titles.
