I think jlhaslip should be the Moderator of this year. He's a good active, helpful guy and I think he should get this award. He does post informative things aswell.
The Trapper of the year, I think should go to SM. He's an outstanding quality poster on Trap17. He's always active, helpful and makes conversations good to discuss. He posts good Information, tips, Tutorials etc. I think he is one of the best Trappy member on the site.
Shadowx is very very helpful, he gave me 160 credits from when I was always stuck on 32, even though I did lots of big quality posts, it never got higher then 50. He does help ANYONE who needs help, even if he doesn't know the solution, he still tries to help. He's a good helper.
GFXtrap GFX Elite- I think maybe SM, or others. I cannot vote on this one really because I have only seen SMs GFX. Others I have not seen.
7Gears Gamer of the Year- Again I cannot vote, because I am hardly active in the games area.
I have seen alot of coding help, etc from these 2 members. Outstanding coding support for lots of members who are wanting to start programming, and/or need help with programming.
I am not very sure on the other categories, as I don't really post as much in a few months/weeks.
Well shoot! Same catagories as last year, and I don't fit into any of them I am still pretty computer illerate, I'm too busy to live here, (even if I do enjoy it here) All I know to talk about is dogs, so I'm not even interesting, I do try to be funny though!
Despite being admin Buffalo Doesn't always seem aware of everything going onbut always does his utmost to find out. Saint_Micheal 6,000 odd post contribution means theres bound to be something worth something Buried in there.
Most Valuable Poster- Saint Micheal - Posts are very helpful and intuitive.
Moderator of the Year- JLhaslip - Dedicated to helping people.
Most Helpful Member- Bluebear - Always very helpful and eager to respond galexcd - Always very helpful towards the more techniqual of Posts
Most Improve Member of the Year- Difficult one. I will say -SKy- Simple reason I don't remember him being hugely active before I left but since i've come back I've seen his name lots.
GFXtrap GFX Elite- I havn't seen coolcat around so it will have to be Saint_Micheal , his graphic work is very good
7Gears Gamer of the Year- BK then random no.s is his name
1337 Programmer- Galexcd - No Point Needed
Comedian of the Year- Saint_Micheal - Ah well, I didn't want to do this but there isn't alot of humour buzzing around
Shoutboxer of the Year- Rvalkass Jlhaslip Saint_Micheal -Sky-
Always Active on the shoutbox and deserve this award
Lives at Trap17- Saint_Micheal - always online JLhaslip - From what he's told me the only thing that gets him off this site is work and sleep. KEEP IT UP
Okay these are my nominations. I decided to only nominate 1 person for each catagory but there are other people for each catagory that were almost as good but not quite.

(And thanks everyone who nominated me. I did not think I would be nominated at all!)
A REAL 1337 programmer'd take about 5 seconds to decode that string of binary... If you can't search "ascii binary converter" on a search engine... make sure you have no spaces...
Comedian of the Year- Saint_Michael (and his sidekick - SPAM -)
Spam has taken over you! WHY! WHY did you eat that tin of SPAM! Why did you have to SPice hAM!?
Shoutboxer of the Year- Saint_Michael (and his sidekick - SPAM-)
Spam has infiltrated the shoutbox's script and is posing as Saint_Michael to get him nominated for this position
Lives at Trap17- Opaque
I really DO think that Opaque sleeps in a cryogenic rack server in a Xisto server farm...
the nominations by others above have pretty much covered already what i had in mind for mine. there's no point in being redundant anymore, publicly or privately.... even if SM harasses me some more on the shoutbox. i'll just await the time when voting starts to cast my personal choices among the nominees.
i am glad someone had the same idea as me. can we nominate in private or does it have to be public? i hate leving people out that may be deserving too and although i've been here for a while, i don't know everyone....so my vote is a little one sided i think so would like to do a private vote. i could care less about the credits too haha.
so do private votes count? yea or nae
If you want to send me your nomination list via PM you can as well as for the voting its private/public in the sense that no one will know who you voted for.
Trapper of the Year- My vote for trapper of the year has to go to Opaque. I mean, he made this forum
Saint Michael. He has been a great member, and he deserves this honor once again.
Most Valuable Poster- My vote for MVP is Saint Michael. He has been a great member, and he deserves this honor once again. HE alwasy has great things to post about.
Moderator of the Year- For modeator of the year, I chose jlhaslip. I would've selected BH, but I see him as an admin. But, haslip has been really helpful, helped me with my .zip thread not working.
Most Helpful Member- I would say that goes to Buffalohelp. Even though he is an Admin, I think he solves a lot of problems, and is well desevered of this award.
Most Improve Member of the Year- Sky. I really didn't know this member that well until recently, and he has showed that he has gotten better at his posts
GFXtrap GFX Elite- coolcat50. Coolcat has some really nice graphics going for him, I've seen his work and he is great at what he does.
7Gears Gamer of the Year- DeM0nFiRe is well deserved for this trophy. What can I say, he is a true gamer at heart.
1337 Programmer- Alex the programmer deservers this. I wouldve given this nomination to Demonfire, but because alex did make the programmers club, he is deserved of this tropy.
Comedian of the Year- SM. Yes, he is the one who makes all the jokes in the shoutbox. Even though some of his jokes are lame , a lot are funny.
I couldn't decide on the other nominations though.
i am glad someone had the same idea as me. can we nominate in private or does it have to be public? i hate leving people out that may be deserving too and although i've been here for a while, i don't know everyone....so my vote is a little one sided i think so would like to do a private vote. i could care less about the credits too haha.

I started this topic so members can come here and sway the public opinion by submitting their
campaign speeches for the 2009 Trap17 Awards . Feel free to post your campaign posts below me.

to the populous. My fellow trappers, ask not what this forum can do for you- ask what you can
do for this forum. This is the ideal I try to keep in mind whenever posting on this forum, and that

Well after reading those topics from someone who has nothing else better to do then try and ruin
someone's business I thought I would show them who the better people are. So as members of
trap17 it is our goal now to bring trap17 crashing down on our rivals and show them that trap17 is
still as strong as ever. So how do we help out, well that is simple enough go post a review on
these web hosting review websites and of course spread the word to other websites, and to start off
I have found several websites that have trap17 listed for review and rating. So when you....

Well, when I first joined (probably a week ago or something like that) I never had a problem posting
topics... lately I've bee posting alot I find topics hard to come by that I want to post about
passionately. However, I will tell you a quick story - and it will get to my simple point. I worked
yesterday 12:00pm(noon) to 5:30pm... then I went back to work 9pm until 2:00am. Came home, went to
sleep, and went back to work at 7:30am until 5:00pm. Couple long shifts... not too bad and so at
this point I'm not really tired. But when I came home, I felt like a few dri....
On GaiaOnline.com, people in the forums say "le" before some things. For example: they say "le bump"

Well? I've been looking for some decent forums as of late. These are nice, but the activity is a

I know that Trap17 is just a free-hosting thing but every time I refresh my screen and take a look
at the newest regsitered user; it is always a different username! People register to Trap17 every
minute and it is so amazing! I wonder how everybody finds out about Trap17. I mean, my friend
(Mike) told me about it because his message boards are hosted by you guys but I don't know how
everybody else did. Wow, Trap17 is very active too. I guess you gotta be active to keep your

what does trap17 mean ?? Ok! Time to open up the secret! I used to play CS in a gaming zone at my
place called Trap17. I used to waste 8 hours out of my life,everyday in that place and I kept
doing it for about 2-3 years! After which that gaming zone was converted into a Gaming Shop where
