Special Titles For 2016-17 

Post#1 » by fatlever » Thu Oct 6, 2016 12:40 am

Hey Everyone,

We'd like to announce special titles for four of our active members. RealGM encouraged us to come up with some fun ways to recognize some posters who have added a lot of extra value to the board over the past few years. After debating this for a few weeks we came up with the following:

LamarMatic7 - "Hornets Forum High-End Journalist" - I hope most of you get that joke, but regardless, there is no denying the great work that Lamar has done covering this team over the past few years.

BlackoutBuzz - "Hornets Forum Capologist" - Whenever there has been a salary question about this team over the past few years Blackout has had the answer.

amcoolio - "Hornets Forum John Hancock" - Since 1776, nobody has done signatures better than coolio, our resident graphics guru.

Flip Murray - "Hornets Forum Spelling Bee" - Kudos to Flip for the creation of the 1st annual Hornets Forum Spelling Bee Draft, probably one of the funniest threads I've ever witnessed on this board. Just one example of Flip's great sense of humor.

Hopefully this can become a board tradition each year where we can create special titles for a few members each year who have really brought something extra to the board.

Thanks to everyone for making this such an amazing community.

I would like to congratulate LamarMatic7, BlackoutBuzz, amcoolio and Flip Murray on their Special Ranks.

You all deserve them and we are happy we can recognize all of you for your contributions to our Charlotte Hornets Forum.

Thanks for the recognition. Honestly every poster in that thread deserves some recognition because it had some of the funniest stuff i've ever read on this board.

Snidely, Swedd, Fat, Yosemite, LP, Braggins, Slam, Diop, JDR

I'm probably forgetting some people but you guys had me dying. You're all bees in my book. Here's to you guys:

the James Donaldson episode was quite good from the recent ones, if I may say so myself. for those not interested in every single podcast I release, that might be one worth listening to.
