Here it, the surprise of the Lowies. This one is the Lifetime Acheivement Award and the TWO winners will be enshrined in my own personal Downlow Hall of Fame.
Five candidates. You get to pick two. Like the other two posted right now, this one lasts until Friday.
The nominees are....
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Gobbla2k1- The reason this board was here in the first place. This was the guy... well, this was the kid... who started the little forum that has turned into the 3aDownlow.
How old were you when you started this? Seventeen or so?
Was the proprietor, one of the original moderators, and is still a key member of the forum.
Although his role has diminished due to increased responsibilities, his fingerprints are all over the board.
You know what, nix that. This board IS his and Matt328's fingerprint. Which brings us to...
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Matthew328- Like I said earlier, Gobbla had to scale back his responsibilities on the Downlow as his responsibilities in the real world grew, and when that happened the brunt of the load fell squarely into the lap of his partner in crime, Matt.
Matt was one of the original proprietors of the site along with Gobbla, but has helped maintain this site since its inception. Even today, he brings his expertise on the high school landscape to the Downlow.
Who were the original guys who ranked the teams in the different regions? If I remember correctly, toby, bearcat, j2k, and MATT.
Who took over when one of the other mods could no longer do it? That's right, Matt was doing the rankings for two regions.
And our weekly state rankings? All Matt.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
LH Panther Mom- One of the four who took over when the first group of moderators left. Also has more posts than all but two people on the DL (PhilC/PhiIC has a few more than her or RM).
She kinda reminds me of my 'momma' and was one of the original mommas of the board. She also has one set of rankings that Matt will never have-- the POOH Ranking system.
Is always there to settle the board down when it gets wound up and (at least it seems like) is always in good spirits.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ranger Mom- The 'mom next door,' RM's taken on the role of Downlow sweetheart/stud-woman. She's also kind of the Sheriff of the DL, moderating problems as much as possible. A lot like LHPM, she's always there to wind things down whenever the board gets wound up.
Trails Phil by less than 100 posts for numero uno all-time, but is number one on the DL in date requests. Combine the times that she's been asked out with the times some of the young 'uns have asked her to ask her daughter out, and it's somewhere in the neighborhood of Adidas' post count during the last year.
That number's about as small as President Taft.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sinton66- If RM's the Sheriff, 66 is her Colt .45.
This is the guy who's never been afraid to step on some toes if they're stepping on everyone else's, and is one of the big reasons the Downlow has remained such a family-friendly site through it all. Was the post leader through much of the earlier years of the DL, but has 'fallen off the wagon' (if you can call it that ;)) and has 'slipped' to fourth on the list of top posters.
Still, he was one of the guys who has held the board together through it all and has done as much for the board as anyone.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Guys, if I have any of the info wrong, just let me know.
Again, good luck to everyone. Voting ends FRIDAY at about 6:30, and you get TWO (2) votes in this poll.
