I don't even know how to respond to this properly --- I have been in perma-blush for the past week and yes -- mortified, and yes -- kinda hoping no-one would notice this but you know, I am kinda happy this thread was made because look what I get to do?
I get to show why all these awesome people who posted in this thread deserve respect not only from me but from our community as well! So here goes:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
@Nelomaxwell :
(The naughty man who made this thread)
He is a spectacular writer, one of those rare people who bleed emotion into text and infuses reality into his phenomenal worlds where fantasy and humanity come together beautifully. If you want to be stunned and see for yourself why I consider him a gift to the literary world, check his talent out here. Just amazing.
----------------
@YourNeighborhoodComicGeek :
I know. I still can't believe he's only thirteen. If the guy is this awesome now, imagine how he's going to be when he's not a teenager anymore? O_O
Big contributor to the Vine with reviews and interviews and how-to's. (hey -- that's rhymed! Woohoo!) Like this.
--------------
@Decoy Elite :
Now this Viner has been known to tell it like is (like pulling me back from jumping into the fire recently) but his Character Talks and his WebComic Reviews are not just informative and well written, but done with the reader's entertainment in mind and so definitely fun to check out. I kinda wish he would start up the Character Talk Series again...(hint, hint.) Here's just a taste.
--------------
@White Mage :
Dear, dear, WM. Larger than life -- this Viner also calls it like it is and never shies away from tackling a topic close to his heart (or other, almost as important parts of his anatomy.) His taste in art is spectacular, his posts on the forums are flat out hilarious (and bang-on true) and nothing can compare to WM's rants.
Nothing.
He's a rainbow in action. ;)
--------------
@Samimista :
My precious, unbelievably sweet, incredible, one-of-a-kind little sister. Everyone knows Sami on here and if you don't, drop her a hello on her wall -- she would love to get to know you. There is no one on CV that comes close to the kindness of this Viner, and there are a lot of kind people on here. I don't think I know anyone who is as knowledgeable as her when it comes to pop culture and as a prolific gamer, her reviews are well worth checking out -- especially if it involves her darling (well, second in line darling) Snake. ;)
----------------
@Roddy010 :
Not only is this Viner the campaign manager for White Mage's ambitious goal of becoming a moderator (;p) but his eclectic taste in music makes him pretty cool. Kinda wish he would pump out some more suggestions to share with CV, like he did here.
----------------
@mrdecepticonleader :
My fellow atheist and equalist (heh heh), he not only is a visible force on the Off-Topic forum, but he's a regular contributor to the Fan-Fic forum as well, sharing some Zombie/DC goodness in his stories. Polite and always willing to share information and enter discussions, he is a huge transformers fan. (I know, shocker **points to username**)
-----------------
@Fuchsia_Nightingale :
My beautiful Fuchsia, I don't know how I can give her justice here, but I'll try. My go-to source for wrestling and squishing, she always goes out of her way to make people smile and although she will be mortified to see this, I have to point out her fantastic writing ability and thorough and endearing write-up on a childhood favourite that will have you smiling like it did me.
Oh, and since I am going to be in trouble anyway, I am taking the opportunity to wish our Fuchsia a very HAPPY BIRTHDAY (well, it was four days ago, but still) because I am forbidden from making her a Birthday Thread) Love you! <3
----------------
@mikethekiller :
Contributor to the "What's On Your Mind Thread" and everywhere else, his familiar username has been around since 2010 and pretty much tells you what he thinks, even if it goes against the tide. I took a look at this Flickr photostream and even though he claims mediocre, it's everything but. Pretty cool.
----------------
@TheAcidSkull :
Awh --- my widdle, teeny, tiny brother! So sweet (it's true) and awesome and who always has a nice thing to say and who always makes it a point to keep in touch with people and ask how they are. He has put together fantastic respect threads (one of them is my x-23 **sqeal**), fanfic and some thought provoking blogs and reviews from comic books to movies. Pepsi-lover and Dorito fanatic, he is way too modest and should just accept that it is HE who rockes. :)
----------------
@Lunacyde :
Participates in the battle forums mostly, he's a 15k plus poster who's been around CV for at least five years who comes up with some pretty cool battle scenarios like his Capture the Flag Tourney. Sometimes he meanders over to the Off-Topic forum when there is something rattling society's cages (like this Respect thread....j/k) but his Paperman avatar alone makes him worthy of respect in my eyes. And outside of the "little bit weird" comment, he behaved better than I thought he would. ;)
----------------
@Imagine_Man15 :
Posting in the Battles forum mostly, he can also be seen venturing into other forums while pitching some awesome ideas for a Justice League animation series that to me, sounds better than the real thing. Two seasons worth! An all around nice guy who is very pleasant to talk to -- Viners like him are what makes ComicVine a great site for people to talk comics and more.
-----------------
@InnerVenom123 :
O_O
Where do I start? If I do, how can I end? It's almost cruel to attempt describing this particular Viner -- he has had me in tears over his hilarious one-liners and observations so many times that it's impossible to put a number to it, showcasing a uniquely droll but incisive humour that deserves its own category. Never malicious, he is a fun and knowledgeable guy who I suspect channels Deadpool. Seriously. Check out one of his many script-format fanfics and you might even think he IS Deadpool.
O_O
----------------
@KnightRise :
Fancy-pants Battles Forum guy who likes to create some pretty cool scenarios which forces Viners to think. Or at least try to. Funny comments abound with this one, quick witted and always alert. To be expected when you're the Knight of Clubs. Who volunteers to be a boy toy without hesitation. Enthusiastically. ;)
------------------
@YoungJustice :
He is a Viner who proves age is just a number. Clever, knowledgeable, empathetic and kind, YJ has an understanding of the world around him that humbles those lucky enough to know him. Open and sincere, he is quick to show his appreciation for people and adds to the fun on ComicVine with cool games in the Off Topic forum. Oh -- and nothing makes him happier than getting Knock Knock jokes posted on his wall -- he craves them -- so I encourage everyone to submit all the ones they know to him. His head will explode from joy. Really.
-------------------
@Blood1991 :
Ah, my knight, my champion, my purveyor of heads which adorn our kingdom's borders -- there are Storm fans, and then there is Blood1991. Man of words and connoisseur of acclaimed literary giants before him, this slayer of trolls has always stood for fairness, his love for Hawkeye unsurpassed as evidenced by his bro-iffic blog on the hero's acclaimed new series.
To victory!
----------------
@akbogert :
This new Viner came out swinging, tackling the new Avengers Arena series and gender objectification in his well thought out and insightful blogs and sharing his unique perspective as a new comics fan in his comprehensive and fair reviews. He's fit in pretty quickly and hey -- he's one heck of a poet. Just another one of his yet to be completely uncovered talents.
(Et je promets que je vais revenir à notre conversation français bientôt...)
----------------
@Aiden Cross :
Ugh -- not this guy.
He's the most pompous, self-inflated, delusional narcissist I have ever come across. Constantly a nice guy and someone to lean on, giving out good advice even though a lot of it is harsh but necessary. I mean, the NERVE of the guy, right? And even worse, he has the audacity to make people laugh when they are feeling down - even going so far as to send hugs in the most cutest, adorable and permanent way?
Pfft.
Know what, Aiden? F*ck you, man. How dare you be such a good friend to people? And friendly? And easy-going. You and your genuineness and sincerity... I've had it up to HERE **makes slashing movement with hand across ankle** with you!!!
(oh, and he contributes awesome reviews and fun and interesting blogs as well.)
------------------
@ragdollpurps :
I sincerely believe there is nothing that can rattle this woman. She is as cool as a cucumber and as fiery as a tamale, throwing down deserved e-smacks to those insane enough to take her on. The "Down With Purps" campaign only made her stronger - fools, the lot of you. Reviewer, artist, blogger and ComicVine's resident Psylocke and Catwoman - anything purple, sexy and female belongs to her.
Why?
Because she's Purps. Just the way it is.
----------------
@BumpyBoo :
Meep, I don't think I can do her justice, but I'm going to try.
Since joining the Vine, I have never come across someone who made a bigger impact so quickly as her. Hitting the ground running, the Bumpster gifted us with fantastic reviews about lesser known but stellar books, blogged about childhood memories to bittersweet life lessons, all the while contributing to skeletal pages of characters who would have otherwise languished on the site's wiki library. Her effervescent personality can be seen throughout the forums, whether it's to give support to our talented artists (both visual and literary) or to share her fair and open-minded views on all things human, she truly has the want, the need to make people happy.
And then, there are her stories.
Best you read them yourself and then you'll know why I find them indescribable.
----------------
@Gwahlur_Rising :
A steadfast King of Hearts, this medieval loving, battle-thirsty warrior plays mostly in the RPG forums but isn't averse to allowing his greatness to visit those beneath him in the other forums. His wordplay as sharp as his sword collection, this Viner is worth the effort of seeking out and engaging with - his slightly acerbic but mostly sagacious wit leaving you more informed for it. I can always count on him for a demonic daily dose of sanguinary visuals to whet my mortiferous appetite, and frankly, some really good laughs.
In a nutshell, he is very, very cool. :)
----------------
@CaioTrubat :
You can't think of this Viner without thinking of Assassin's Creed - from his avatars to profile picture, I think it's safe to say he kinda likes the game. He's more than that though -- writing up hard-hitting movie and comic reviews and sharing experiences, no matter how bizarre through his blogs. Friendly and approachable, CT is the perfect representative of the kind of member ComicVine is known for -- interactive on all the forums and always willing to give a helping hand.
That him and his family take in strays just adds to the kindness that exudes from this Brazilian contributor to the Vine.
---------------
@TheNooseIsLoose :
Yeah, yeah, he can be a pain -- showing up in those feminist threads and challenging me on just about anything I say -- gleefully pointing out anything I get wrong and getting all smug about it. At least he isn't rude about it (usually) and contributes to the discussion which compared to some Viners is a good thing. Despite his profile summary at the moment appearing as though his whole purpose is to follow me around Comic Vine (heh heh) he's not without value, giving weight to his arguments with interesting information to consider. Although lovely little memes like this will pretty much guarantee we will mostly be at odds with each other in the future, I know there is some critical thinking going on behind sometimes snarky (and yes, funny) commentary.
---------------
@feebadger :
Oh my, how blessed am I that THE feebadger deigned to acknowledge my existence! And allude to a knowledge of what I contribute to Comic Vine, no less! Thank goodness my chaise was nearby so I could crumple onto it delicately with a quivering sigh, so overwhelmed was I by this most undeserved honour! Sir Feebadger is renowned for his seemingly bottomless knowledge of all things comic -- bestowing his genius upon us lowly commoners with comprehensive and incisive reviews, providing blogs to foster thought and discussion to better ourselves/the-comic-industry and to enthrall us with heart-fluttering fiction!
**sigh**
I must quickly fetch my smelling salts lest I faint again from the excitement of it all! (<3)
---------------
@Glitch_Spawn :
Glitch, Glitch, Glitch. What am I going to do with you? How is it that I continue to adore you more than I do already? The admiration continues to rise having learned long ago you are capable of the most profound things - from providing riveting blogs like this to the Comic Vine community to opening the newest bar in the Off-Topic forum (like that's a shocker, hmm?) I know I can depend on you for being around late at night (read early morning) so we can poke fun at each other for being online. Here's to you -- funny @ss b@st@rd that you are - someone the Vine can always count on for hilarity and jolts of insightful observances about the world and society surrounding us.
Cheers. :)
------------------
@Pyrogram :
Here's a lad from England whose curiosity is insatiable - intent on grabbing as much as he can from life despite being a tad too fixated on a certain blonde god from Asgard. Still, he's an awesome Viner who scurries throughout the forums flinging comments haphazardly and splattering people's walls with posts then demanding answers for deep questions in PMs while encouraging all kinds of mischievous high-jinx with other like-minded gents. How he finds time to post blogs ranging from that blonde god from Asgard to Wolverine's propensity for wrestling with dinosaurs, I will never know. What I do know is that this Viner is clever and informative and a human sponge for more knowledge-- which makes him pretty cool in my book.
-----------------
@wildvine :
Such a tireless worker, Wildvine always puts the spotlight on others when she is a star in her own right in the FanFic forum, participating in contests and getting the word out. She is presently compiling a library of all the fan fiction submitted to the site by user name -- taking over for The Poet - always constantly updating to the best of her ability. All this and still finding the time to encourage other authors, to review comics and review fan fics themselves while submitting her own. Her talent in humorous dialogue and circumstance is quickly gaining fame but Wildvine is also very special Viner because she takes the time to get to know people - asks after you and makes you feel appreciated and never forgotten. She's one of the most trustworthy people I know on ComicVine so if you don't already know her, it's well worth your while to do so -- she's a diamond - a true Queen of Diamonds.
----------------
@Markus_Langbourn :
Hmmmm --- who is this misanthrope? Has some pretty good fan-fic posted -- has some pretty insightful commentary to share -- and looks like a once avid RPGer. Gotta say, I kinda love his background pic on his profile page -- plus his avatar so thumbs up. He seems to be an alright Viner...
--------------
@deadpoolrules :
Now how did I manage to snag another Brazilian on here? No matter, just by virtue of being from the country hosting the next FIFA World Cup while being the reigning Champions with the most victories than any other country on the planet gets an automatic entry into the "Must Respect ComicVine Vault". Plus -- Deadpool. D.E.A.D.P.O.O.L. But wait! There's more! Our Merc With A Mouth enthusiast has contributed some wonderful fan-fic to ComicVine plus interesting insights into popular movies and games with his blogging worth that are worth checking out. Fun and quirky and friendly. All the ingredients that make a great Viner are found with this cara. ;)
-----------------
@Joygirl :
K, who doesn't know Joygirl? She is fearless Battles creator and debater, no non-sense Off-Topic poster and veritable bottomless well of knowledge of most things DC and well...life. Calling her a prolific contributor to the Fanfic forum is an understatement of epic proportions -- there are mountains of literary goodness to be found here at Comic Vine with her at the helm, let alone published works at amazon.com. She's a jill of many interests - not only creating respect threads for beloved (and oft maligned) DC female characters, but also blogs in which she shares opinions on comics and things in general, including art in the Artist forum.
How cool is that?
---------------
@kiss_lamia :
My Lilith ambassador and fellow Cyclops dissenter -- this Viner has contributed so much to this site, not only the Homosexual wiki page but also in engaging the community in discussions in regards to representation of LGBT characters in comics. On top of being one of the most friendliest and fun Viners here, KL has shared so much of his spectacular art with ComicVine -- ranging from his favourite Marvel female and male characters to whatever is requested of him on his art thread within the Artist forum. He has been my dear friend from the very beginning and there has been many a night he has kept me company -- forcing me to choke down peels of laughter from his one-of-kind point of view so I wouldn't wake my downstairs neighbours.
Kind? Yes. Considerate? Even more so. Kiss_lamia is truly a gem who shines as bright if not brighter than the beautiful art he creates.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
So there you have it -- just a small taste of the Viners who deserve recognition for what they contribute to the ComicVine community as a whole. If I could, I would make a hundred more of these posts, celebrating everyone who visits and participates in this site --- from the Battle forums to the RPG and Fanfic forums, from Off-Topic to the Artist forums, to those who review and blog and wiki-edit. There are a lot of notable people -- so, so many - and even though it's just a tiny drop in the bucket, I am happy to have been given the opportunity to highlight some of them here.
Thank you everyone for posting in this thread. I'm horrified and embarrassed and humbled and just all-out flustered but I am also grateful and appreciative you took the time to comment. It's means more to me than I could ever properly express and it will never be forgotten. <3
(PS. -- Don't anyone ever do this again in whatever shape or form in the future -- I really, REALLY can't handle it, seriously. O_O -- I am planning my revenge on Nelomaxwell...)
(PSS. -- please forgive me any errors or screwed up links -- ;p)
