The Dead End » 2007 Stick It Awards

Worst Blog on the ‘Net

John — Mon, 02 Apr 2007 03:00:30 +0000

Before we close the 2007 Stick It awards, we want to thank everyone that made this possible. From when we opened up the nominations in early March, the voting in the middle of the month, and before that with the linkages and promotions on other websites and forums, we’d be nothing without you. Whether you linked the site, nominated someone, or casted a vote (or seven), you helped make the Stick Its a big success.

However, I’ve heard and seen people complain that this year’s celebration was not as dramafantasmic as last year’s, but that’s because – and I myself have pointed it out on several occasions – the “drama” scene is dead. Dead, dead, dead.

Internet Drama

Don’t believe me? Go ask Mahogany from DramaWars… if you can find her. Her month-long drama website experiment was over before it started since apparently all that site was about was her personal bitching against “Krystole.”

Too bad, she could have made Worst Blog, if her site wasn’t dead. Not like that didn’t stop CandyMB for Best Forum…

Anyway, without further adieu, here are three websites that remind you to go flush the toilet because the smell is just that bad… the nominees for Worst Blog on the ‘Net:

And the winner is…

WORST BLOG ON THE ‘NET

Carrying 41% of the votes, Lindsay has been given the greatest ~~dis~~honor of them all – Worst Blog. It must have been tough, beating out Jenn and Brandy – both nominated for this award last year (yes Brandy, we recognize your mug – how can we not? The bags under your eyes look like they could hold a month’s worth of groceries). I can see why, though.

You’re not a doctor – don’t tell the Ph. D’s you need more medicine – I’m sure they know what they’re doing.
What’s a ferver?
Posting your online drama in it’s own category

The people have spoken! Rejoice! Huzzah! See you next year!

Blog of the Year

John — Mon, 02 Apr 2007 01:00:06 +0000

What makes a blog the Blog of the Year? Last year’s winner, DasBecca, is a good example. When you go to her site, you’re not bored by what she writes. She’s colorful, exciting, and doesn’t go on and on with vapid bullshit that means absolutely nothing. People read her website because they really enjoy it, not because she linked them or commented on their site once. They go to her site to get away, not get dirty.

Your nominees for Blog of the Year are…

And the winner is…

BLOG OF THE YEAR

With 45% of the votes, DasBecca is the second ever two-timer at the Stick Its. Is it any surprise? I don’t think so. Some of the other sites were up for the award simply because they had enough nominations to carry them through, while others simply don’t know why they were even nominated.

Congratulations Becca for having a kick-ass blog, and we’ll see you back next year when you go for the trifecta!

I Am Not A Drama Queen!

Your nominees for I Am Not A Drama Queen! are…

And the winner is…

I AM NOT A DRAMA QUEEN!

Apparently, TGO, 54% of our voters feel you ARE a drama queen. Maybe it’s all the comment wars at FrenchKitten the past year, or the “Fight Club” section on your forum, or the constant bashing of people at your blog, but people are getting the vibe that you love teh dramaz.

Sorry Ranee. Know your role… you’re the Susan Lucci of the Stick It Awards.

I Am Leaving The Internet Forever!

John — Sun, 01 Apr 2007 21:00:23 +0000

That’s it, I’ve had enough. Every time I come to my site I get comments from people trying to bash me for something that happened over three years ago. I swear to God, I’m done, and I’m leaving the internet forever. I’m gone. Never coming back. This is it. I swear, it’s over.

Here’s my email address so I can link you to my new “doesn’t exist” blog.

That shit pisses me off. If you’re gone, then get the fuck out and don’t come back, ‘k?

Your nominees for I Am Leaving The Internet Forever! are…

And the winner is…

I AM LEAVING THE INTERNET FOREVER!

I know, I know. She only left the internet once. When she closed Kiss-My-Kitty and swore she was done for good (in fact, we reported it here at TDE when she did just that in 2005). Or was it when she closed Kitty.nu forever and was done with that. Or maybe it was when she wrote a scathing “I’m gone forever” letter at xoxo.nu and swore off the internet because people were just being harsh to her and wasn’t making her experience a fun one. Right… one time. Well, with 53% of the votes, Jenn can rejoice in knowing that we’ll be here waiting when she leaves the internet again.

And again.

And again…

Coolest Layout

John — Sun, 01 Apr 2007 19:00:36 +0000

Personally, I like a nice simple layout that’s easy to read and doesn’t have too much graphic intensity. I think the heavy graphic overload is just the webmaster’s version of penis envy – having a super meaty layout and no content to hear of. Do we REALLY need all those quizzes? Isn’t that what MySpace is for? Seriously, a good layout is just that – a good layout, and this is to honor the coolest of the cool.

COOLEST LAYOUT

With 45% of the votes, Karol gets her first Stick It award. Congratulations! Now can you make TDE a new layout? Thanks.
