Now that we've done favorite poster, best avatar, best tag, funniest thread, and most intelligent poster, I say we do a Hottest Poster thread for our next round of ego stroking, using an aggregate of all the posts in the PPOY2012 thread.
Robertsan, no contest.
 
There are a hell of a lot to choose from. Regardless of whether or not I agree with their position on a particular subject there are plenty of posters who, more often than not, rely on reason to form their arguments and can defend them without resorting to nonsense.

Like everyone some current and former mods come to mind:
Stump
Hitokage
Mumei
Opiate

There's also people like:
empty vessel
pigeon
bocodragon
rentahamster
GhaleonEB
phisheep
Dude Abides
kinitari
Charlequin
OttomanScribe
Fragamemnon
speculawyer
Chichikov
Marrec
Monocle
SmokeyDave
CountDookake

Certainly not exhaustive!
 
phisheep
Opiate
Stumpokapow
Hitokage
Kaijima

Obviously non-exhaustive. Also, it's a limited opinion, since there are probably plenty of intelligent people who just makes normal posts, or don't really post that much at all, or only lurk in threads that I don't read. Or make super insightful posts in specific areas of interest, that I end up passing over because they don't make an impact on my memory like the more prolific ones. I'm not going to worry too much about filling the list, since they'll keep making good posts whether I note their name or not...

Also included is practically everyone I talk to, in different places, that posts here. You know who y'all are, so take that to heart.
 
how do you think gaf's average intelligence (maybe restricting the sample to members with more than 100 posts or something) compares to the world's average intelligence (weighted of course by how many gaffers there are from each country)? how about the OT's average intelligence, i.e. the average intelligence of those who mostly post on in the OT? OT vs. Gaming?
 
Mumei, Opiate, Bagels, and Marrec all constantly impress me with their intelligence.

There are a ton more, but I can't spend the time looking for all of them right now cause I am lazy :p

This forum is very much an intelligent one, no matter how often it descends into madness.
I'll second Bagels.
Intelligent people I disagree with on a regular basis:

Mumei
Ottoman Scribble
The crazy libertarian dude with the Gendo Ikari avatar, now banned
J. Dubya -- gone but not forgotten. I disagreed with a lot of his opinions, but he was a cool dude and I enjoyed reading his posts.
 
You have a quick wit about you.


I feel like in my posts I don't always post things in an academic way but more in my own feelings based off the facts that I have come across.
So I would not say myself.



However you all fail as WedgeX is the smartest on this board.
Next smartest is SC2 gaf.
Next is poliGAF.

I think brotherly bias invalidates this.

I don't know about that though. I mean we do have Lions fans in the thread.

I'll cut you.


speculawyer, ghaleonEB, monocole, hitokage, kinitari, and mandrake are all pretty smart. Although perryferrell is by far the smartest person I've come across on GAF.

let me rephrase that question. how does the intelligence of the average gaf poster differ from that of the average person, controlling for age, sex, and country of residence? i'd wager to say it's slightly above average. however, if we controlled further for hours of daily internet use, i think the difference would become statistically insignificant.
 
sammy (an artistic genuis)
Ragingspaniard
Stump
Opiate
Gaborn (rip)
bishoptl

I dunno, lots more I'm probably missing.

Yes. The mens should post shirtless and have a swimsuit competition.

>_> <_<

OT: Three standard deviations above
Gaming: Three standard deviations below
 
Anyone else page through this thread with their name in the browser Find box, just to see?

ha ha

I am an idiot for more than one reason.
 
I have not seen any poster able to drop comprehensive, reasoned, and educated posts at the drop of a hat like Stumpokapow. Bro has quality thought flowing from his brain like a river and apparently has the typing speed to match. He is also not overly selective about it, but freely and calmly engages people across the full spectrum of intelligence and respectfulness in equity.

Probably makes me seem like a kiss-ass to say since he is a mod, but it is fact.
 
My personal (and factually correct) list:

  • Drinky Crow
  • G-Fex
  • J-Rock
  • macuser1of5
  • Myself
  • Pheonix Dark (not so much booksmarts, but he's clever)
  • Puddles
  • SoulPlaya
  • Spindashing

I also think highly of some others but since they've already been posted, I feel that my time is better used highlighting those that haven't had their moment in the sun.
 
When Kosma wasn't spouting his right-wing bullshit, he was actually pretty smart about a lot of subjects. He gave me some great advice about Bangkok hostels. It's a shame he couldn't resist shitting up PoliGAF.
