torticullis' semi-comprehensible drivel and theannoying_one's two second contribution drive out my "rage" and "insults" threads respectively and win the GADs.
Being the bitter person I am, I'll complain about this. Why? Because I can.
I mean, for christ's sake, does no-one actually read these posts? In fact, forget that question. I know they don't. If they did, the likes of "Vive City Rap" (yes, I'm ranting about that toss again) wouoldn't even be in contention for spitting at, much less winning something.
Alas, whatever decent writing I put on here is simply handed off as over-intellectual babble. I can only assume that whoever is deciding GAD these days has the literacy of a five year old orangutang.
I don't deliberately try to win GAD, and to be honest, in the past I've won it unjustly once or twice myself. But even those posts were at least interesting to read, brought forward debatable points, and were generally of some quality. But when I put together a decent post (or five), I don't expect to win, as there are a lot of good quality posts on the forums on a daily basis, so when some utter drivel wins ahead of not only mine, but a dozen other far more worthy posts, it makes a mockery of the whole system.
Ooh, he hasn't won before, drop him a prize for persistence.
It's about time they re-wrote the GAD rules:
"Post on the forums, and your name will be dropped into a hat, or simply burned if you're any good, and you can win a prize at random."
That said, they say that taste is a relative thing, so we're back to the literacy level and ability of the GAD reviewers to hold their attention on a post long enough to make a decent decision.
I could rant all day, but I won't. And to the cynics among you, I'm bitter because crap posts keep winning, not because I don't. Vice City sodding Rap.
Jesus christ. I'd rather rub my face against high grade sandpaper for half an hour and then apply some old spice than read that sort of toss.

Filthy ignorant cretins, the lot of them.
I've won two, one maybe a bit unjustly (The one I did for a review),
But the other one I was quite proud of, Mario Brothers: Plummers Of Rage,
Even though no-one replied to it.

I mean look! I've shown the forums how to hurl intelligently thought out abuse at one another without aggravating the swear filters. Surely that warrants a little recognition!
Certainly more so than a load of boring, rhetoric, unfathomable, mediocre codswallop.

like i care. what am I? Mr impeccable spelling?
I don't give a damn about expectations. I certainly don't give a damn about how you want me to spell when no-one else seems to care how they manage themselves.
i tlk txt n stuff rararar.
witless buffoonery. Two words that sum up these forums perfectly.

Your "Insults" post deserved to win the GAD prize.
I have to admit, i thought you were robbed, your insults post was tops.
The first time I won GAD it was pretty undeserved. My thread was about three paragraphs long; good spelling, nice grammar, excellent punctuation, just not very inspired. Goatboy moaned about in my thread. Free game, pee off a notable: two prizes in one.
I'd like to see more topics in Life win prizes because they tend to be more interesting, but I don't think the entire system is corrupt.
