Whether it's your first Bonnaroo or you’re a music festival veteran, we welcome you to Inforoo.
Here you'll find info about artists, rumors, camping tips, and the infamous Roo Clues. Have a look around then create an account and join in the fun. See you at Bonnaroo!!
I appreciated billybaroo's moxie and the thumbs down portion of his platform. Then, he had to remind me he is a waffler. Looks like it is time to make my campaign less subtle. I will study the other nominees in depth and render a verdict about who is superior to him (spoiler alert: it's everyone who like pancakes. Does fins like pancakes? He'll outrank Billy then) then launch my offensive. Let me remind you that my endorsement has carried both winners to victory. You'd be surprised at how persuasive threats of arson involving someone's tent at Bonnaroo can be.
I can forgive the waffle part. Or ignore it. Everyone can't be perfect.

Firstly, I passed out (drunk) shortly after creating this thread, and have just awoken from my slumber. Secondly, the OP shall be updated with names of nominees, Lastly, anyone who can't figure out what this is, probably don't recieve the award, and shouldn't be allowed to vote (live).
There is an alternate universe out there somewhere where we get along and use our powers of snark for good. I believe someday that can be this universe. chicojuarz told me you are a good guy and I choose to believe that is true.
I say that about everyone so that they'll let down their guard and I can steal their wallet.
Thank you to the Class of 2014, for being not all that great. The fact that the first 4 nominations were for a former winner who no longer posts, a sarcastic nomination for Tranter, another person who isn't currently on the forum, and myself who joined the forum in 2012 should tell you all you need to know about how this rookie class is viewed.
If it matters to you and I'm not sure if it does... I think you're fine and so are at least half of the people Dave Maynar nominated. I was taking my sarcasm to its limits there.
Oh, I know. I was just returning the favor. For the record, your 8-point agenda is brilliant. It could be Inforoo's very own Eightfold Path. Except for the part about waffles. Pancakes are the superior breakfast food.
I've already typed out my acceptance speech and would like to present it to the committee prior to the vote. If the voters accept bribes, please PM me.....
(looks out to the crowd. Tries to hush them but the standing ovation will not stop. Despite multiple attempts to quiet them, the chants of "Billy! Billy! Billy!" won't stop. After a half hour, the crowd has finally calmed to the point where I can begin my speech.)
Thank you so much to custephJHOinTN and bonzai for your support. All three of you are beautiful and wonderful people. To Dave Maynar for subtly leading an "anyone but billybaroo" campaign. And also to Dr. Joe, whose support is surprising considering the amount of angry PMs he has sent me but very warranted. Thank you to the Class of 2014, for being not all that great.

I agree with your nomination for me. I am indeed the best. I humbly pre-accept both the 2014 and 2015 awards that I have not yet been awarded to me but most assuredly will.
Here is my 8 point agenda.
1. Barabbas Day- It is held once a year, on the Christian Good Friday. We vote one person off the board and ban them for at least 1 year or only 3 days should they rise from the dead as a miracle or getting a new IP address. Human history has shown that we make horrible decisions when deciding who to save and who to kill. We should continue that here. 2. Giant Fucking Blanket- It is a well known rule that when someone lays a blanket down at a concert, if you do not know that person, you cannot stand or step on that blanket regardless of the size of the blanket, how close it is to the stage, or the amount of people on the blanket/in the area. So let us take advantage of that. Remember the giant AIDS quilt? I want to do that with blankets. The plan is to sow as many blankets together as possible and then once the main stage opens at noon on Roo Friday, we drive a forklift to right behind the back of the pit and lay that sucker on the ground. If we work hard and sew quickly, Inforoo can reserve several thousand square feet of prime What field real estate for us Inforoo'ers and us alone to watch shows. I don't make the concert blanket laws, I just take advantage of them. 3. Female Headliner in 2016. Her name is Beyonce. Deal with it or DIAF. 4. Jimmyroo will be Board Member of the month, every month until the end of time. Nobody is allowed to ask him any questions. 5. For every post in the GRRRR thread that doesn't involve a serious illness, car troubles, loss of job, death of a family member/friend, or other serious real life shit you must make a post in the Yayyyy thread about the good things in your life. Some of you complain about the most mundane shit. Gain some perspective or buy a fucking diary/journal ya whiners. 6. Implement a thumbs down button. So much of the policing of this board is left to the mods and the assholes of the board. We should let the community let others know that they suck. Because quite often, they do suck. 7. A committee shall be formed consisting of the elite haters, cock-blockers, and feminists of this board to bring shame upon the creeps among us. Every time a new female joins this board and is either very outgoing or posts a picture of herself in My Mug, there is a small group of horndogs, creepjobs, and awkward flirts who aren't as clever or charming as they think and it really grosses me out. 8. End the waffle/pancake poll. There are people who like waffles and there people who are idiots. That conversation is going nowhere. Waffles win.
The parallels between my life and the T.I.N. character in Rookie of the Year are startling. Much like the real Henry Rowengartner, I broke my right elbow in elementary school and gained weird abilities in my right arm (more of the stupid human trick than 95 mph fastball abilities, but we don't choose our superpowers in life.) My mom has a scummy boyfriend trying to take advantage of my abilities while Gary Busey has played an important role in being my mentor while also trying to fuck my mom.
If that is not enough for you, here is a picture of a cat with a waffle on its head.
All I wanted in my Inforoo life was a custom title and some stars underneath my name. This honor is more than I could have ever dreamed of. And remember to never give up..... unless you're RJ/Sonofbeek/Jim and then in that case, keep giving up and coming back, it is your destiny.
Thank you and good night!!!
(A thunderous standing ovation. Flower bouquets and panties are thrown onto the stage by the dozens. A bright white beam shines down from the sky onto my bald spot as I am lifted from the ground and ascend into Inforoo heaven to celebrate with Flanzo. I tell him how I always wanted Rob Ford to be my username but he already took it. We discuss sports, smoke some pot, and make some uncomfortable jokes about Colorado Ron.)
A post hasn't made me laugh this hard in a while. This is a strong way to start this whole thing off.
I look forward to reading all the other candidates positions.
Flanzo was the TIN for 2011, awarded in 2012 Tom was the TIN for 2012, awarded in 2013
Who would be the TIN for 2013?
i mentioned the fact that we havnt had a T.I.N in about two years in a different thread, which sparked this thread. Let's just call it a lock out year, and we can blame it on Kanye, cool?
Every couple days I run through this thread and keep a running tally of how the month is going. I keep it in a Google Spreadsheet and I have everything since January so far and plan to continue for the foreseeable future. Seeing as Cokes seems to be busy, would it be helpful for people if I posted the running one on new pages until Cokes posts his definitive one at the end of each month?

I also appreciate his willingness to both try new albums to him and be willing to put the "first listen" label on those albums even when it's something he could catch shit for because he should have listened to it already.
Nico is one of those posters that when he posts, I read it. Especially when it's a long one, because more that likely I'm going to get a laugh out of it. I was actually going to nominate him last night when I saw Boner make this thread, but didn't want to be the first to nominate someone because I feel I haven't earned that right.
First I would like to thank Dave Maynar & jim for nominating me. I would like take this opportunity to say that a vote for me is a vote for shy music nerds all over the world. That's right , if you vote for me a Bedhead fan in Japan will fell all warm and fuzzy on the inside. So, if you do it for anybody, do it for them.

Damn, girl! You people are way too nice. I'm glad that almost exclusively posting what I'm listening to has gotten me somewhere on here. Also, I dig that I've had Dave's support for quite awhile. I'll just leave this here as proof: www.inforoo.com/post/1622510/thread
Most appreciation on a comment I'd ever made and a nomination for Rookie of the Year? It was a pretty validating afternoon.
It would be appreciated if any of the other nominees looked at past T.I.N. threads and got into the spirit of the thing. It doesn't mean anything but it means everything. Please increase the petty insults and arguments. Some of the people are here to see who wins, but most of them are here for the blood.
hey, i used the pancake pitbull instead of this baby puppy pancake burrito, didn't i?
The early part of the 2010s decade saw sweeping reform in the LGBT movement. Marriage equality went from only being allowed in a few states to being allowed in the majority of states by 2014. However; it was in early 2015 when Tranter said "Gaytriots" that the real social progress took place. Homophobia was eliminated through the land. People saw that the best way to eliminate hate in the world through the satire of a 16 year old. There was great rejoicing. Tranter was voted to state senate, the first child of incest to ever hold a public office.
Billybaroo has a real mean streak to him. You definitely don't want to get in his way once he gets going. That, plus his vast array of live music performances experienced, makes him a worthy candidate. He should be able to succeed at the next level.
Nico, on the other hand, has shown flashes of wit and humble superiority a la pops. However, he lacks consistency in that department, which can make him difficult to rely on.

I'm trying to think of who could be the 2013 TIN, but all I can think of is Monie and her seemingly 10,000 posts. Who else was there?
