When you make your vote for the next notable tomorrow, remember this topic, for I feel this needs to be said.

First of all, how old is your candidate?
Look at the current notables. They have knowledge of their forums like it was the back of their hand. Their average days here are around 900 odd days. The youngest is 680 while the eldest is 1179 days old. Does your candidate fit this criteria?

Next up is the Gad wins. Gads may not seem that important but it’s free games or movies and it shows how good they are at winning posts. The lowest amount of wins is 4 which is good but extremely overshadowed by the 37 wins of Meka Dragon. Does your candidate have a healthy Gad figure?

Next up is the post count. You look at these notables and they are up there in the top posters of all-time, obviously because they have been here for years. However, they haven’t spammed their way up there, which can be seen by looking at the word count.
Does your candidate have a good posts to word ratio?

This may not seem important but it damn is when choosing a new notable. I’ve seen suggestions by new regulars but most of those don’t fit the criteria of a notable. Here are examples of posters that do and are potential candidates.

Solskjær fits the bill with 23 Gad wins. Maybe lacking in the age department but should be a favorite in my eyes.

Asher D is known for his humourous approach to the forums and has a massive 18 gad wins. More well known and has the age maturity.

Dringo missed out one time. Now he should have his time in the light again. 25 gads and 888 days easily makes him a good candidate.

MoJoJoJo is another candidate that has his fair share of gads with 15 and has been here long enough to know the forums well.

Those that just missed out:

I would like to see microchips win but unfortunately doesn’t fit the age criteria.

Rosalind has her followers but again lacks the age criteria

Phillip fits the criteria but unfortunately hardly anyone seems to know the potential he has.

You will probably just forget this post tomorrow but at least think about it. The notable gimmick is becoming ruined and choosing any of the above can only make it better.

Thank you

30? But I thought you were only about 25-26 (because let's face it, what kind of 30 year-old would rile up young boys about Nintendo?) ;)

But seriously, happy birthday for when I'm not here on the weekend (maybe), and long may the fapping commence.

*shrugs*

I may be 30 at the weekend, but with age comes experience and the knowledge that women prefer the more mature gentleman that has taken his time to explore and expand his knowledge of things fleshy.

Now I must smoke

You bloody kids, dont know how easy you have it.

In my day, we had Atari consoles with tennis. It were two blocks batting a pixel back and forth, and we were grateful.
Then we had the BBC Model B. It had 32k memory and we all "oooed and aaaaahd"
And pride of place, my Spectrum 128k +2. It had the tape played built-in!
That's right, built in!

And no innerweb or DVD or CDs.
Or cars.

You old man Goatboy! You're an over-the-hill has been, a relic cast down from hand to hand, foolishing remonstrating about "better times" that have passed you by...

Happy Birthday, mate. The long slippery slide has begun.
