LOL, That's why I have such a wonderful team moderating Trap17 and the feeling of community is alive everytime I enter Trap Proud to host you guys and have you people as a part of our community.Thanks for your support and Co-operat... read more.
Welcome everyone to the 2005 Trap Awards!!! Hosted by yours truly, Plenoptic. What happens at the Trap Awards? Well here we are going to be recognizing those here at Trap for what they do. The awards include
Best Admin: (20) Best Mod: (20) Best Member: (20) Best Designer: ((15) MVP(Most Valuable Poster): (20) Best Programmer: (15) Most Active: (10) The Comedian: (10)
These are the awards so far. Everyone will recieve a tag with their name and the award as well as the amount of hosting credits in parentheses from me. The explanation for these awards are below.
Best Admin - The admin that helps the most and is the most reliable, is on a lot and does a lot to contribute here at Trap. Best Mod - (replace admin with mod in last sentence) Best Member - (replace admin with member) Best Designer - Whoever you think makes the best sigs, templates, wallpapers, and whatever else has been displayed, and is helpful to those who aren't the best. MVP - Any member, or staff that posts good quality posts to help explain anything that has to do with Trap17 rules and what not. Best Programmer - Whoever you think is the best at coding web sites, and what not and is helpful to those who aren't Most Active - Basically, who lives here all day and night The Comedian - Who makes you laugh when you are down, or just makes your day brighter or just makes you smile period.
Right now I am taking Nominations for the following awards - Best Member, Best Designer, MVP, Best Programmer, Most Active, The Comedian
All mods and admins are open for these awards. I am trying to think of a way to open this to all non hosted members as well, thinking of something I can reward them with instead of credits. If you have any suggestions please tell me. Make all nominations here and if you don't know who to nominate for one of the catergories then just do it on the ones you do know. More will be added to this later on. A person must have two people nominate them in order to be in for the voting. Nominations end January 5th. Once everyone has been nominated I will have a poll set up on my site with email submissions so I can see who will win. No set date will be up for the deadline of voting until nominations are through. Good Luck!
Notice from becca:
date changed.bolded to show. and underlined to confirm.date changed.
Best Admin: Its a toss of of OpaQue and BuffalHELP with the work they have done on here and abroad.
Best Mod: All of them
Everyone has done their pull of work in here in the forums so its an equal award for everyone
Best Member: OpaQue
Putting up with all of us and providing the best services on the net.
Best Designer: All members who have a hosted account here.
MVP(Most Valuable Poster): Saint-Michael
Working on the graphics forum has made a small but yet big contribution to xisto.
Best Programmer: kvarnerexpress
I see him doing alot of programming posts which benefit and challange the minds of other programmers.
Most Active: Saint-Michael
Putting the effort into The Graphics Forum and helping those who ask for it and.
The Comedian: Saint-Michael & Becca
This is an obvious choice most everyone knows who I am in the forums and on IM's. Of Course Becca Rivals me sometimes but I can share this award. For I am King of the Forums SPAM SPAM!!!
Best Admin: (20) Buffalohelp, I didn't consider Opaque because he is a shoe-in for the Internet's Best Owner Award...
Best Mod: (20) All of them are here to help and so selecting any ONE is quite a challenge... I'll abstain.
Best Member: (20) all around : St Mike. As recognized as any one member, active all over the place, put lots of effort into the gfx site.
Best Designer: ((15)(Since am more interested in the Web Site Design aspect, I'll base my vote on Site Design rather than Graphic Design) Snlildude's site is the one I am impressed with as a member's site, but there are lots of other's that I haven't seen. Tyssen's design work is really good for the sites he has worked on, check out his portfolio of work, I'll say Tyssen for this one.
MVP(Most Valuable Poster): (20)Inspiron has impressed me quite a bit in this category. As has Avalon. Both of them offer really good advise when they post and rarely is there even any suggestion of Spam, Spam, Spam... on their postings. Of course, these are only Nomination suggestions. There are a hundred good posters here. Any one of them could get this award
Best Programmer: (15)Kvarnerexpress always seems to be testing the limits and challanging others with his questions. Spectre is good, too. Always seems to have a good answer for the programming end of things.
Most Active: (10)Plenoptic seems to here mornings and evenings everyday... except for the Mods, probably the most active (especially when you consider the Shoutbox) and very helpful to others.
The Comedian: (10) What, like there is any doubt??? Saint Mike, of course.
lol Why did you take me out of the Best Member but not the others lol Anyway, the only reason why I don't have nominations for Best Admin/Mod is because I am gonna have voting for all of them on there. As for the Best Member I can't put everyone on there so I just gonna have people vote. I am still trying to decide what I could do for non hosted members so I can open it up to them.
Best Admin: Buffalo is by far the best admin besides OpaQue, but naturally because he is the owner here, I am not sure if he is included in this.
Best Mod: Mayank or Jlhaslip
Best Member: I would say plenoptic, but I know he can't award himself , so I go with,.... Saint Michael
Best Designer: A toss up between a few good guys, but I say Saint Michael again.
MVP(Most Valuable Poster): I would have to say Plenoptic, but I go with Buffalohelp
Best Programmer: I have no idea but I would say anywone who is most active in the programming area
Most Active: Plen again, but I will go with Jlhaslip or Mayank or SM.
The Comedian: Saint Michael again. Hehe. You can see who I like the most
That about does it. We have great members, mods, and admins and I want to congratulate you all on the great efforts and contributions you have made to this forum!
Best Admin - So so hard to decide. If it's not for OpaQue, then trap17 would not have been alive. NilsC (the admin who was active during the first half of '05) was pretty good, but I just cannot choose between OpaQue, NilsC, and Buffalo. Best Mod - Hard to decide. I think we (staff) should look at who has done the most in terms of eliminating spammers or setting rules for others to follow. Best Member - :-/ Best Designer - Johnny. Not active, but this goes to him. MVP - NilsC Best Programmer - http://www.trap17.com/forums/index.php?act...highlite=secord Most Active - The topic starter The Comedian - The topic starter
Best Mod - Hard to decide. I think we (staff) should look at who has done the most in terms of eliminating spammers or setting rules for others to follow.
might as well have put your name to that one snlil
but im surpised you didn't put a category for shoutbox god.

ohh no one nomianted me....just kiddin i dont think i have done anything useful. But i will have to nominate Saint Michael, He is always online when i come. And he is kinda funny.
So Saint Michael Lives here all day.
Oh Comedian I would go form becca and SM, I was amazed to find that Becca walks around the hous naked like i do
i've been a memeber here for a while. i've read some good posts and horrible posts. i've
understood people and not understood people. i have made connections and non connections. i want to
say publically right now that one of the connections i have made with is opaque. not because i am
kissing *bottom* for another friend. we rarely speak to eachother. in fact, the only time we really
spoken when i was on the verge of suspention on trap and on the verge of deletion. i have read alot
of what opaque has said in these forums. he created these forums and everyon....
I am posting this here rather than in the 'Web design' topic as it seems to be something
which happens exclusively to my Trap 17 web site. When i have my web site open, which you can find
here , every so often (quite regular actually) a short and high pitched beep is sounded. At first I
thought it had something to do with my sound card or my PC, but recently I discovered it only
happens when I have my site open. It does not matter which page of the site I have open, or whether
the page has multimedia embedded in it, I get it regardless of the page I am on. Has....
Hello Trap 17 =], I hope to enjoy my stay here. I've got a question, Once i apply for a web

Well today is surprisingly my trap17 birthday. Although I could make this post very lengthy I
won't. Trap17 has been a great service for someone like me who can't necessarily keep up
paid hosting month to month. Although at times I do not use my hosting account substantially I
always keep those credits up. Whenever I have a computer problem I am sure to go to these forums
because they offer the best and fastest response that I can rely on. With soon going into college I
may find it hard to keep those posts up but I will sure try my hardest. Thanks for a great ye....
Well the voting has begin for the 3rd annual Trap17 awards and I like to toss a pre-victory
congratulations for those made it to the finals, and a better luck next year for those who did not
make the cut. Also I ask you all to vote only once, because I should have check this poll script
before setting it up, and it seems you can vote more then once and I have check out other ways to
set this up as well. I have faith that people will be honorable in their selections regardless of
the stupidity I put in for not checking this script earlier. Also some categories had to....
Hello, i was wondering real badly. Does anybody know how to make an FTP browser or uploader in
Visual Basic 2005 (also in 2008 - but they are the same) because i am making an add-on for my

search it - i've given up searching for 2005. Many many thanks if someone's found one for
me. Rep++++....

some new categories to the ever growing forums and with the number of active members the competition

Hello Trap17 Members, mods and admins /biggrin.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":D"
border="0" alt="biggrin.gif" /> I've always loved venus fly traps, and for my birthday, my
girlfriend bought me a "grow your own venus fly trap". The reviews on the websites says it works, so
hopefully it will! I've read several websites on it, saying that they like warm weather,
some sunlight, and not to use tap water! I also read that using a fish bowl is a good idea to
keep it steamy, and also using rocks/pebbles to keep it elevated from the water (but obviou....
Ah the boring old trap feedbacker. Probably the most active account without a sig or avatar. Now I
know that non-members can't see sigs or avatars but us members should see something more than
just the name. I usually recognize a member here by his or her avatar rather than the name. (Oh
there's the hybrid bus guy) (Oh there's the christian penguin mod)... Anyway back on topic.
At first I was thinking that the Trap feedbacker should have a sig with a link linking back to the
topic where opaque introduced it. I'm sure new members don't even know....
Don't Be Fooled by The Inflation Strategy We are taught from early on that more is better.
The more we have of anything, the better off we are. More may, in fact, be better, but we have to
be careful how we define more. Sometimes more is actually less. Take the case of gold. Today,
it is at or near a "record high" in terms of its value against the dollar. People are scurrying to
"invest" in gold with the hope and anticipation that it will go up even higher. At first this seems
like good investment strategy, because gold is certain to become more expensi....
Well, here it is the close of my second year with Trap 17. Seems like only last month I was
lured over here from Asta Host by JLHaslip. Actually it was on 5th January 2006 and 2 days later I
got my hosting approved. I have really enjoyed my time on the forum, all the support I have
received from so many members, greeting new members as they join and introduce themselves, helping
out whenever I can (which is seldom in the tech department, since I am not extremely computer or
graphics literate, but I do my best), giving opinions on subjects I may have a little mo....

Yeah, I'm pretty embarrassed that I just refferred to myself in the third person. Believe it or
not that's something I do sometimes irl, yeah I know pretty embarrassing but true. I do that

It's like people don't even notice the Credit System at all! In fact, just a few days
ago, someone applied for hosting with only nine credits! Also, as I said on another thread: I
start to wonder, do people nowadays actually read ANYTHING? It seems that way. That or people are
just ignorant... I have just one thing to say to these people: RTFM! (And if you don't know
what RTFM means, go check a dictionary!) Hi everyone, My name is Alison sn is....

TRAP FEEDBACKER UPDATE: (by OpaQue) I just finished coding another minor update for the feedbacker.
Trap17 Feedbacker now allows members to REPLY to individual posts. The Feedback will include the

whose post is replied. QUOTE Hello, Today OpaQue made a change to both Astahost and Trap17

This tutorial will explain how to create a basic timer using Visual Basic Express 2005. If you

is a few minutes to sit down and read this and a version of Visual Basic. OK, so what will this
timer actually do? Well, you are able to enter a number of minutes and a message, and then click a
button. Once the timer is up, your message pops up and you are reminded! So, basically it's
a little reminder system. I use it to remind me when TV programmes start, when I have to....

I am really surprised that thetre is no thread for this fantastic game.This is simply the best

Hong Kong for example! Also,there are numerous graphical add-ons for this game,like face
