Nah, those are actually funny. (at least in Blue Warp Nacelles?, they are.) I have no idea how the sombrero thing got *started*, though. It seemed to pop up out of thin air...

-See funniest member at the bottom, along with most missed members. I don't know that I'd want to single anyone out.
2. Best Forum of the Decade
-I always had a fondness of old school MA. But I never had to actually deal with the drama. I think overall I'd have to say Sci-Fi/Fantasty.
3. Best Thread of the Decade
-The Grand Misc. Competitions.
4. Former Member You Miss the Most
-Lots...it's hard to even decide. Katie_543, where'sSaavik and Blue are three that come to mind immediately.
5. Funniest Member of the Decade
-Jethro Elvis, Captain Wacky and Spaceman Spiff in a three-way tie. I like a good mix of absurdity, dry wit and good old fashioned pot-stirring.

No comment. I don't like singling people out; too many get left out.
2. Best Forum of the Decade
I've enjoyed hanging out in a lot of fora at different stages. I can't really single one out as the best. The lounges are the reason I'm still here so they "win" by default.
3. Best Thread of the Decade
Aside from a particularly inspirational BR thread, the original staff popularity game in the AL - particularly the later stages - was brilliant. The bar threads in the commie lounge were fun; the Babylon 5 watchathon in the DS9 forum, Shatna's Fall Catalogue thread, and plenty of others that don't immediately spring to mind.
4. Former Member You Miss the Most
Red77 - a lovely human being, a wonderful friend, and responsible for some of the best, funniest moments I've experienced here. Honourable mentions to da Woim, BlackDog, Froggie and Blue, among others.
5. Funniest Member of the Decade
da Woim. Almost everything he said was literally laugh-out-loud stuff. Honourable mentions to Red77 and Shatna.
6. Best Mod of the Decade
Huntingdon and da Woim. There have been a lot of good 'uns and a few that were...err...not, but those two were something else.
7. Most Creative Member of the Decade
wuzit2u, Etched and Spiff (one utterly fabulous avatar after another), ElimParra (brilliant at creating fun threads), and Hunter X (TrekTonight was just priceless).

That reminds me, where's 005 been lately?
I love you too. 
I only see him on Facebook and live journal now. I think he's pretty much left.
On topic- will have to get back on most categories. I have too many favorites to name, but of the posters who have left I really miss Froggie and Blue the most.
Thanks for the mentions.

I'll go with Jethro Elvis. Consistently entertaining and a great guy with a beard.
2. Best Forum of the Decade
The Mine Field. Okay, it's on TK. But we wouldn't have TK without TrekBBS! But, umm, I guess...Misc? Or the Feet Captains' Lounge.
3. Best Thread of the Decade
'This board was rather poorly conceived. Here's why." - Red Quacker. Not sure if that was the exact title. It was the first big "trolling" thread he started in QSF and it kicked off some interesting times and changed the whole board forever. Many trolls followed, some hilarious, some just morons...but it was fun, for a while. And there would have been no CaptainWacky without it! So it wasn't all good, I suppose.
4. Former Member You Miss the Most
I've already mentioned the Quackster (and of the Quacker accounts I think YOSHI is the one I miss the most) so how about SkinOfEvil.
5. Funniest Member of the Decade
And sincce I've mentioned Quacker and Skin, I'll give this one to Big Matty. He only lasted a day or so, but it was a very funny day or so.
6. Best Mod of the Decade
Susannah. Just because I had a crush on her.
Spiff is pretty spiffy too!

So why was the board poorly conceived? How many different ways are there to talk abut Star Trek?

My mind is completely fried, so I don't remember much of last week...if not the past decade. Sorry.
I don't even know half of you anymore.
Though I do think Spiffy, Hold, Awesome, and M'Sharak have done a tip top shape the past few years keeping the boards fairly moderated fine.

I don't remember the thread in question, but Red Quacker was the ultimate troll. It was hilarious. And he managed to stick around a lot longer than he probably should have.
