The 2014 Census Results and 2015 Opinion Thread!

Munkus Beaver · February 2015

Never seen an opinion thread before? Well here's your crash course. Once a year we collect the names of people and put them in a thread. Then you figure out the people you want to give opinions for, and then you give them. Really, the whole thing is self explanatory. You don't really need a primer for this! Do it in order or cherry pick your favorites. Doing them all is a Herculean Endeavor that I do not recommend, though some people do this anyway with Smiley Face opinions in place of words. If that's your deal, then go for it! This is the 2014 census thread, 2015 opinion thread.

Or you can do Marry Fuck Kill for every three forumers and have a hoot.

The last two years' threads are found here and here if you want to get an idea of what is going on:
ETCETERA:
The rules for signing up were:

Sign up to be counted for the Census as an active member of the forum (any forum) by posting !Census2015 in your message and nothing else. These are counted to see the number of active members, lurkers included.

Sign up to be counted for the 2015 Opinion Thread AND Census by posting !Opinion2015 in your post and nothing else. If you have a name that more people might recognize, then post !Opinion2015 followed IMMEDIATELY by your preferred name and nothing else.

If you want me to include special instructions in the OP to either ensure you DON'T have an opinions posted despite not signing up then send me a private message. Please only do this if having any opinion made of you, even accidentally, would cause you unneeded duress. If you have special needs or a request that I haven't mentioned in this post, send me a private message.

AS OF JANUARY 31, 2015 WE HAVE...250 active members. 2012 is our peak year and the census has declined from 2012 and 2013 but is an increase from 2011.

Bendery It Like Beckham · February 2015

I'll do this later

Goose! · February 2015

If you were at a PAX that I was at and we met or hung out, you are awesome and we should do that again.

If not, you should come to PAX East/South.

This is the conclusion of my forumer opinions.

miscellaneousinsanity · February 2015

Sometime when I have the time and money i'd like to attend a pax and hang out with you chumps

more opinions later after I look over the list

Mortal Sky · February 2015

@Usagi is the feminist badass we all deserve in our lives, and you've got a rad fuckin' tattoo to boot. Plus you're the patron saint of the asymmetrical Bob cut always and forever. You're always open for a good joke or random 2-in-the-AM-PM tumblr message of general thoughts and I endlessly appreciate that

@Metalbourne inspires me a lot. Keep on doing what you do best, and I hope you land on your feet. You deserve it.

@Fishman is my favorite Kiwi. I already gushed about how positive you are to my forum experience in the Christmas subforum's appreciation thread, but here's one thing I deliberately left out of that ramble to save for now: dude, if I ever end up becoming a father, I hope I'm half as good of one as you are, because every post I see from you on that subject is just so warm and happy and full of Star Destroyers.

@DHS Odium, I called you a handsome bastard back in Boston and I don't regret that

@Naphtali was a gentleman and a scholar at the PAX East group dinner. Dude, I'm kinda bummed that I won't be making PAX happen this year.

@Lost Salient is on the big list of internet people who I need to hang out with, but she took off from Charlottesville, just over the mountain, to Texas. Alas. Sandra, you're a fantastic forumer but our threads of choice don't overlap much anymore. Woops.

@Tynic is the most fashionable and witty mad scientist.

@Goatmon, you're such an earnest and clever guy. Your dedication to voice acting is a delight to watch, too. I know what your name stands for, and I trust that one day you'll be a master.

@The Otaku Suppository is the active forumer I've run into in the real world the most, by a long shot. Matt, you're a wicked fuckin' guy. I won't be at Otakon this summer, but maybe I should shill MAGFest to you as a potential AB advertising gig if you're still in with that crew.

@miscellaneousinsanity is a rad dude. My first text of the new year was your auld lang syne jam and it made my night that much better. I wish my hair could be anywhere near so perfect. And, of course, we gotta hit up SPX again this year

I'll write up more later but it's late and I gotta sleep

Tofystedeth · February 2015

@joshofalltrades , @Virgil_Leads_You , @Stilts , @Kadith , @DHS Odium
are all terrible people. I know this, for I have played Cards Against Humanity with them.

And it was a blast. Can't wait to see you all next PAX.

@Lost Salient caused me to wake up to the most hilarious and confusing drunken text conversation Saturday morning.

Mortal Sky · February 2015

also, as a general series of thoughts since I'm still vaguely awake

I'm nearing five years on Social Entropy. Whenever the last forum battle was. I'm 21 now and I've had this account for seven of those years, hence the gothy 7th grader name. I've grown up around this forum, and so far I think y'all have had a better influence on me than I think the 250-odd of us, plus many forumers of the past, will ever fully know. Thank you.

Speed Racer · February 2015

Huh, wonder how I missed the census thread

Ah well

If you wanna tell me how great/awful/mediocre I am feel free

Sterica · February 2015

When I was a teenager, I was lucky to get on the internet for a few hours a week. Mom didn't want us tying up the phone line. And of course Dad needed the PC for work and stuff.

@Speed Racer ur a cool dude and luke razor is a good name you should keep it

knitdan · February 2015

@Munkus Beaver dude I have no idea how you're still alive. You're pretty cool for a Bama fan

@Raijin Quickfoot you have a cool beard and drink cool beer

@Fyndir I am happy you got a new kidney a while back

@""Platypus Beirut" @Centipede Damascus I know what your handles reference, I think

@Bobkins Flymo Hopkins Spyderco. N'awlins Zydeco. Poppin' Fried Dough

@crwth we can't handle the crwth

@Metalbourne you are the best and I hope you never stop being you

@DaMoonRulz I wish one day my beard will be as glorious as yours

@Usagi there is literally nothing you don't know how to do except maybe how to not be awesome

@tynic you don't look as nervous in photos this year (I hope that didn't come off as creepy)

@Vivixenne thank you for your patience and understanding

@Abracadaniel you're in the top 5 on my list of forumers named Dan or Daniel

@Stale good god man you're making the rest of us sick folk look like total wusses

@""Dongs Galore" ban dongs galore

@spool32 what can one say about spool32 that hasn't been said at least 32 times? You're a good father and probably a good husband and also a good forum prescience and you are much more patient than I could ever be as what sometimes seems like the lone voice crying out in the wilderness

Also everyone in D&D chat, yes even you

Webcomics peeps, there's just too many of you and I'm bad at names

Artsy crafty peeps, see above, although some of you I mentioned, I really feel welcome here and it warms my heart to see everyone's projects

Mr Fuzzbutt · February 2015

#Opinion2014

BahamutZERO · February 2015

fuzzbutt you're doing it wrong

Munkus Beaver · February 2015

@Metalbourne: Remember when we were enemies, and we hated each other? Remember when you were cantankerous and I was a naive teenager? My, how things change. You have become one of my favorite forumers due to your upbeat personality and joking (but never insulting) demeanor. Keep being the cool forum mom, we've needed one since Lewie P's Mum isn't around.
@Zonugal: I feel like I insulted you last year, that wasn't my intent. I do like you, or at least I did. This past year has been a real blur so you haven't killed anyone, right? Still cool beans? Great! Anyway, I apologize if I insulted you and wish you the best.
@Brogey: One of the friendliest guys I know. Smart, listens to what you say, and was a constant ally of mine. I really miss Bogey and wished we talked more often.
@JoeUser - THE friendliest guy I know. Is responsible for me getting through some of the toughest times. Is like a random Santa who brings smiles whenever the Doctor brings me frowns. I love you, Joe, and I wish I could do something to show you how much I appreciate you and your kindness. Much love.

I'll do more when I feel better.

i don't know what that was,but thanks!

Blake T · February 2015

I think it was performance art.

cabsy · February 2015

I have previously done opinions for everyone but honestly I've been so busy n such I don't have opinions about as many people as I used to do. Also I was trying to stay away from 'is a cool dude' opinions this year.

@Munkus Beaver - get well, dudebro. you are like the second coming of Stale. I guess this means I hope you are really great at cooking pigs. I really do hope you get better because there is only so long a person can handle being fed a shit sandwich and I want you to know I think you've been handling it better than most people ever could

@Raijin Quickfoot - such beards. I typoed this when I first wrote it as "such bears" which is also applicable, probably

@Fyndir - the sweetest giant that there ever was. I mean, I don't KNOW that you're a giant, I just hear things, and I think I've only ever seen one picture of you, so in my mind you're the BFG, and you can never tell me differently so I will just picture you flattening your giant ear and letting ceres ride along across the countryside

@Brainleech - quit letting your villagers move out goddamn

@Grey Ghost - I don't know that this is technically an opinion per se, but I feel like you should know that every time I see howard stark in agent carter or captain america or whatever, he always reminds me of you

@Crwth - such a fashionable dude who takes all the teasing of the forum with hella grace

@Hermano - I was shocked to find that you were not actually gus from breaking bad. I feel like I may never trust again.

@Metalbourne - so here's the thing about metal, is that for a long time I thought your actually quite sincere compliments were like snarky? so when you were like "I love you!" I was like "is she being like, backhanded and rude ala Regina George?" but then it turned out you weren't and that is awesome and you're da best

@Naphtali - from when I met you at pax east that one year you seem really cool and friendly and I am kinda sorry that I have not had many opportunities to interact with you on the forums/since then

@DaMoonRulz - see above wrt beards and bears. your willingness to take awesome photos of yourself has put you at a high rank in my book

@Usagi - I was really hoping you'd be at pax east this year! or sometime, so we can hang out. but I suspect it would be like last year at east with LS where like I wanted to hang out but then I was like anxiety as what and I was like probably nobody wants to hang out with me anyway, is what I'm saying

@tynic - sisters in ridiculously unruly hair, gin and tonics, and cookery. if I were skinny we might even have similar tastes in slightly weird fashion but who knows

@Stale - it's weird to have this person that like, clearly shaped a lot of the forums but isn't really around that much anymore for a variety of reasons, so it's like as a person who lurked for a while and still doesn't post a ton I actually know a (relatively) decent amount about you but you have no idea I exist? uh anyway I am sorry god decided to visit all of the plagues upon you. you're a fuckin tough dude above and beyond all reason and if you weren't being tested by some bet between god and the devil I shudder to think of the carnage you would wreak upon the world

cabsy - it me

@Sheri - sheri you do such cool crafts! I feel like sometimes you almost slightly project this like, aura of not being as friendly as you are? I don't mean that in an offensive way so I hope you don't take it that way it's just like I hear that you are super friendly and welcoming to new people and that makes me really happy

@Lost Salient - another chick of the forums I want to hang out with. I was gonna try to meet up with you at a pax east that one time but I can't lie I totally fuckin chickened out because I persistently think of myself as like some goober that nobody wants to hang out with and you're all just humoring me and I didn't want to bother you on your vacation

@Lonelyahava - cool ladies of the forums unite! cool ladies of the forums with misbehaving hair unite! cool ladies of the forums with misbehaving hair that can hella cook unite! basically I'm saying you me and tynic should hang. I mean I know that would be hard considering our global positioning, but still.

@Veldrin - so you were my satanee last year! and I have to be honest and say that like a million years ago someone linked to this video you made for your now-wife and it was the CUTEST SHIT EVER TO EXIST, and it just really shone through with how like friendly and cheerful you are, so even before I really paid attention to your posting I thought of you as super nice but then it turns out you have adorable doggies and all, so I was right all along

DrZiplock · February 2015

So, I filled out about as much as I'm going to. See, the thing is, if we interact and I didn't have you on this list...I'm sorry. I think that you're all amazing people and it's a reason I've been a member of this community since...I think 2006. I just couldn't take the time to really sit down and get to everyone.

But I love you all. Mostly.

@Munkus Beaver - Don't talk much these days, but the fact that you're still around to talk at all is pretty impressive. Disease, tornadoes, etc. Try not to get sicker if possible, amigo. Also...cops still can't "guess" that someone is going over the speed limit

@Raijin Quickfoot - Fellow Giants fan. Which means he's a sad sack, just like me, but it's cool....you're a standup fellow.

@FAQ - I miss the days of following you from thread to thread to give you endless shit, ya damn goose. But still, aside from a creepy spider avatar, you're good people.

@Odin - Damn you and your ridiculously good looking face.

@Langly - Since you've moved it's not like we're seeing a whole lot of each other these days, but I hope that you're doing well, man. The lengths that you are willing to go on behalf of your family is impressive and you're a rock star for just being who you are. Though, I will say, I think Carlos misses you.

@Grey Ghost - If you were in front of me and dropped your ice cream on the ground I would probably stare down at it with you...and then laugh at your lack of ice cream. You pull off the "hi, I'm handsome" thing well and seem to be a gentlemen of high caliber from all our various interactions. ...except that time when you called me an asshole over text.

@Metalbourne - Don't know much about ya beyond what I hear from Usagi, ma'am. And while we don't interact a whole hell of a lot, her endorsement says that you're pretty awesome. Cheers!

@Naphtali - I'm having a hard time remember any direct interaction with you HOWEVER...we always seem to agree or awesome similar posts. The world clearly needs more people like us. EDIT - Fuck me, I'm an idiot. You were one of the best god damn Secret Satans I've ever had. I've been using so many of the things that you sent my way. Seriously...out of this god damn world. And sorry for not putting this out there earlier (and in the first draft of this), but I had your real name associated with the gifting and it just dawned on me that oh fuck...so, uh..THANKS!

@Brogey - Ah, Bogey. Right...dude, I miss you. Consistently one of the best hangouts that there is and just a damn fine guy. Rarely is someone so quick to smile and laugh as you are, my friend. We don't talk much aside from when we're in the same city, but I hope that we both know that "hey, I'm in town...let's hang out" is enough to bring either of us running. I hope that I see you again soon. My best to the lady as well.

@Usagi - Right. I don't have enough space for you here. You're one of my best friends, a wind in the right direction when I'm getting close to the rocks, and there is nothing that I wouldn't do for you. I don't feel like crying at work, so you're just going to have to understand what you mean to me. Thank you.

@lostwords - You went and got yourself a GIRLFRIEND and thus we don't see you much these days. Though, to be fair, if we wanted to see you in the old days we'd have to be the ones to plan it anyway. I may give you a fairly unrelenting amount of shit over things like cupcakes and movies, etc...but you're a good guy, bud.

@tynic - The global nomadic mad robotic scientist with hair and flair that just won't quit. Gotten to know you a great deal more over the last year and change and am very happy to have done so. Let's not wait too long until we get another drink.

@vsove - Works damn hard and gets it done doing something that he loves. Man, you're all over it. Our professional paths haven't yet crossed, but I hope that they will someday. You'll get a hug and not a handshake from the word go.

@Tam - Hell of an artist and your avatar never fails to make me laugh. Also, you're a solid poster. Also also..you're the guy that drew some badass ink for my brother from another mother, Stale. Well done, you.

@ASimPerson - The cataloger of all things forum battles...back when those were a thing. I've never seen you speak ill of anyone here and you're usually one of the first to throw down an offer of help in the job thread. Huzzah!

@Veldrin - My beard will never be as lush as your own. My jawline never as defined. Nor will I have the creative energy necessary to bust out a valentine's day dance video to "there's something in the water"...yes, I still remember. Keep on keeping on, you marvelous man.

@Vivixenne - Well...you got pretty damn married this year. So congrats on that! We don't talk as much as we once did...what with life happening and all that. But you're pretty damn quick with the offer of an ear and advice - which is pretty generous of you. I wish you well and hope that everything keeps coming up Viv.

@Poorochondriac - How come we don't play video games together anymore? We should get back to that as fun times were often had.

@Calamity Jane - Well, you help out women's shelters and children's hospitals. You love Corgis. You're friends with Kate. And really, every time we've interacted, at least on a professional level, you've been awesome to work with. Cheers to you!

@Abracadaniel - My man, sometimes you make some goosey life choices, but it would seem that now that you're out of the hell of your last job that things are picking up and heading in the right direction. Though, I'd recommend laying off the coffee. It'll stunt your growth.

@#pipe - Don't think that I don't remember that I owe you, brother. I've been trying to dig myself out of this pit and I just haven't pulled your stuff together yet. Though, I will likely need your services again soon. All that said, my world is better knowing that you're in there. You helped out my girl in a huge way and we shall have to drink again together soon. I need a Selfy-Hug.

@Javen - A guy moves to FL to be with his best friend turned girlfriend and he pretty much disappears. I don't blame you, dude. I'm damn happy to see that life seems to be treating you well - even if your shifts end up all over the place.

@Stale - My brother. You got a new gig so we haven't been talking every day, but you should know that I miss it. Your words have gotten me through some rather rough times and I hope that in the future I'll actually be getting some of the tattooed onto myself as a reminder. I miss you, man. Let's be sure that we keep on planning some kind of run on the bikes before well...your legs get the better of you. Oh and I should mention, that Joel and I talk about you enough when we're chilling with my folks that my mom regularly asks about how you're doing. ...stay the fuck away from my mother.

@The Geek - You tend to ping me on FB just as I'm logging off or stepping away from my desk. Sorry about that. I don't mean to be a dick. Safe to assume that we'll see you at Prime again this year? Maybe?

@Sheri - YAY Disney!

@Blake T - Stylish bastard who ended up getting the girl. Dude...well done! Please do not fall down from any high places.

@Lost Salient - Hm. Where to start? You're a god damn firecracker and rock star rolled into one. Your sense of style leaves many in its wake, while you have one of the best smiles around. I'm thrilled to hear that Austin is treating you well, though I will say that VA missed you too. Here's to you, darling!

@Shazkar Shadowstorm - I gotta say, I'm a bit torn on you, man. There are times when you're posts look like they are written by an indecisive 14 year old girl and then there are times when you're sticking to your fitness goals and pulling down new jobs at startups. I honestly do root for you and have since you were getting out of school and looking for the job, but damn man...you've got the brains and capabilities...just trust in yourself a bit more. And use full real words in your posts.

@Tonkka - I see you once a year and it isn't enough. I need more Tonkka in my life. And less nachos. So that way you can sit and we can have a beer together.

@NightDragon - I recognized your name from AC where I used to lurk and just look at the pretty pretty pictures. Now I'm seeing it around SE more and more and I think that is a very good thing. You're trapped in Boston under some snow right now and that kinda sucks, but it's good seeing you posting around these parts.

@Rankenphile - Brother and damn fine man. You busted your ass so hard to get into gaming and now...you've published a game! And it's fucking awesome! Man, I couldn't be prouder of you. I was overjoyed that we got to chill in Seattle this year and I hope to get to do it again soon. Keep the faith and you know damn well I've got your back.

@JoeUser - Are you the nicest guy on the boards? You very likely might be. Poster of the year for something like 3 years running now. Maybe longer. Actually...much longer. You have interview lemurs and new job red pandas and just, you're truly one of the great ones.

@DrZiplock - Asshole

@Zonugal - Few people embrace themselves as much as you. I will say that while it's not my particular cup of tea, I respect the hell out of it. Looks like you've also managed to find yourself a slice of awesome when it comes to jobs. Congrats again.

@The Otaku Suppository - I see you, what? Once a year? And it's a good time and we're usually drunk. That MIGHT have something to do with it. Maybe, just maybe. ...see you in a few weeks.

@beavotron - You're killing it out in LA. Your professional and personal works are out of this world and I'm a big admirer of them. TG has sent a few people out to your studio and I have yet to hitch a ride on it, but I hope to at some point. Keep on shining on, you crazy diamond.

@Ominous Lozenge - Worst DM ever. But beyond that, he's actually a pretty good person who without hesitation has offered assistance and help. Excellent opinions regarding food and beers as well.

This is hardly a comprehensive list, because a lot of people I felt like I would just write "is good people" and that almost seemed like it would seem... insincere if I put it down for so many people? But really, most everyone here is good people so if I didn't list you, know that I didn't forget about you, just that I hate looking at names on a list and knowing I enjoy you posts but not being able to come up with something specific to say.

Munkus Beaver I've nothing but respect for you, because you've been through a lot of tough shit (no pun intended) and you're still soldiering on.

Raijin Quickfoot receives from me equal parts fear and admiration at just how many different beers he manages to have in a week. You have awesome opinions on things beyond beer, too!

FAQ a true forum mainstay. Can't imagine this place without you.

Chincymcchilla I love how you can be the foil of so many forumers.

Bluedude152 you're improving.

Brolo I'm sorry but you can never change your avatar.

Bobkins Flymo I don't know what spurred the move away from Waluigi but as long as you keep being as cool as you have been, who cares what your avatar is?

Grey Ghost keeps the superhero threads full of, ahem spirited discussion

The Cheat another person who I can't imagine SE++ without.

Crwth I know it's the forum tradition to act like you're stupid and ugly but you're actually a pretty handsome dude with a good sense of humor.

Blankzilla I like the new tat! Nerd.

Centipede Damascus you are yet another person who I can't imagine not being here.

Metalbourne you frighten me, but in a good way. Like, I'm intimidated by how you do stuff with knives and hooks for fun. Never mind all the other, not-fun stuff that you've dealt with. You've got true strength.

DaMoonRulz you have the manliest beard of all the forums. Truly you were a Viking in a past life.

I Win Swordfights we butted heads a lot when you first started posting here, but you have matured so much since those days. I suppose I've matured a bit as well. I'm glad you're still here.

godmode it just tickles me pink every time I see you post, because you're still using that Beartato from the live-action Nedroid edit I made all those years ago

-Tal you shall forever be remembered as the One who has Bioware Game Opinions.

Vivixenne again, congratulations!

Poorochondriac you are a pillar of this community.

TrippyJing TRIPPYYYYYYYYYYY! (What more needs to be said?)

#pipe I said it before and I'll say it again: you're a lousy banana but a wonderful human being.

Blake T I already said congratulations to Viv, so do I have to say it to you as well? To be safe: Congratulations!

GSM I haven't seen your posts much lately. Your forum battles were things of beauty.

Rankenphile I wish that I could kill you and absorb all your awesomeness so that I could become the One True GM. Or at least get to play in one of your games sometime.
