I know, 2010 isn't over with yet, but I'd like to establish how the yearly awards will work. Last year, I believe, Rapture Ready won "Fundiest Board of the Year." My opinion is, just to keep things kind of fresh, that the same board or fundie shouldn't be in the running two years in a row--though they'd be back in the running the year afterward again. Distind, if you read this, I know you talked about having a page to record the winners, which I think would be an excellent idea. Maybe in addition to "Fundiest Board" and "Fundie Quote of the Year" we can do some lesser awards like "Homophobe of the Year" and "Sexist of the Year" as well. Thoughts?

I say, "Bah" to keeping things fresh. Other boards should need to earn the right to be dubbed crazier than RR.

Really, RR just needs a lifetime achievement award for crazy.
And I think Cassiterides needs to be in the running for Fundie of the Year.

I've been looking at some of the stats, and fundie of the year is almost certain to be fresh, lots of new folks under that.
That said, I'm seriously considering dropping the board of the year in favor of a 'quote of the year' which does not belong to any of those running for fundie of the year. Something for those one off fundies who pop up.
Now, if I had tags, and everything was nicely pre-packaged so I could go through and run some queries on these, but I don't, and it's really easy to miss good quotes in a full year worth of material.
.... that said I just came up with a remarkably simple tag system that may well work... it'd just be a total bastard to... no... not really... hmm. We may be doing sub topic awards next year if I can get this hammered out before the 1st. If I could take my god damn vacation time I could do it, but work has deadlines no one bothered to mention at the begining of the month.

Really, RR just needs a lifetime achievement award for crazy. And I think Cassiterides needs to be in the running for Fundie of the Year. I'd nominate two people for fundie of the year: Andy Schlafly and Bryan Fischer. This year Schlafly stated that faith is a purely Christian concept, that people gave thanks for the Constitution at the first Thanksgiving, that homosexuality was supported in Nazi Germany, that there is an "invisible hand of marriage", that accepting evolution is the sign of a mental illness, and that President Obama has rarely been seen dancing because "Islamic sharia disfavors" it. Fischer said that separation of church and state was an official policy of the Nazi Party, that fundamentalist Muslims and gay activists control the U.S. military, that ending Don't Ask, Don't Tell would cause straight soldiers to be infected with HIV, that sodomy laws should be brought back and enforced, that firefighters who let a man's house burn down did the "right and Christian thing", that halal soup is a jihadi plot, that Hitler's SS were all homosexuals because they were naturally more brutal, and that the Medal of Honor has been feminized.

Aww, but I think I have a board (well, blog) that's a real contender for Fundie Board of the Year, depending on when most of the quotes were posted.

I think Free Republic and Moonbattery have actually outdone Rapture Ready in the fundie department this year.

I think Free Republic and Moonbattery have actually outdone Rapture Ready in the fundie department this year. I agree. I think much of the reason why people see Rapture Ready as the nuttiest is because of their reputation, without much thought of the insanity from other boards.

- Moonbattery
- Free Republic
- Love-shy.com
- Evolution Fairytale Forum

Of those, I'd have to go with Conservapedia. But that might be more "Fundie of the Year," since most of the recent additions have been done by Assfly.
I insult his name because I can never remember how to spell it.
