Holy crap! Wasn't expecting that. I deleted my account cause I felt Bozarking had kind of evolved into a character ever since the Teehee! comment and I was starting to feel boxed in and writing posts about ass and incest that didn't come from the heart. The fun was in coming completely out of left field and being able to unselfconsciously try to write the funniest/most screwed up stuff I could think up. The response had started to shift from "Jesus fuck what the christ did I just read" to "Bozarking you loveable rapscallion!" I was starting to feel like Homer near the end of the Stonecutters episode.

The most fun I ever had on this site was the "two jars of jam" comment on the Hayden Pannitiere gif and I knew I wouldn't be able to recreate that as Bozarking. I'm still going to post here just under different names. I just want to say thanks to the Reddit community for being so awesome. I'd tried posting on Digg but was pretty much instabanned after my first few comments. There's none of the weird Byzantine internet politics and hierachies you find on most websites and forums, I've even seen people write "wow, I've never thought about it that way before" which I thought never happened online. Anyhow I just wanted to say thank you to everyone on Reddit for being so receptive to my nonsense.

I wish I had a classier way to prove I really am bozarking. http://www.reddit.com/r/AskReddit/comments/90lbd/hentai_scenes_youd_like_to_see_a_girl_gets/

I waved chicken bones over our servers, and the orientation they took when I threw them at jedberg indicate that you are telling the truth.

Well either that or you took over bozarking's computer and/or house, killed him and/or possibly ate him, and are wearing his head as a hat. The chicken bones were a bit fuzzy on that question.

You really made the right decision in retiring bozarking because you were dead on the money with this:

"Bozarking you loveable rapscallion!"

It was getting nauseating seeing redditors clamor over each other trying to make a bozarking reference every time someone said something gross and sexual. Reddit was turning bozarking into a cheap in-house meme and if you hadn't pulled the plug when you did, I don't doubt that we would have been seeing Official Reddit Cuil Narwhale Bacon Bozarking posters for sale.

Holy shit, you're bozarking. I feel somewhat responsible for your leaving, so I guess I'm sorry. You should definitely do more writing though, even if not in the form of bozarking. You and flossdaily are my favourite people on reddit.

I'm going to try my hand at drawing a syndicated panel comic. Most of my posts here were a way of blowing off steam due to how frustrated I was trying to come up with ideas. My problem was that my brain went into "professional cartoonist mode" whenever I started writing and would attack me with awful ideas like "A weightloss reality show for whales called "the last 5 tonnes". I'm of course not going to send off a package of deranged comics about enemas and incest to Kings Features syndicate but they will definitely reflect the dark/absurd aspects my sense of humor I avoided when I first started writing.

If you really are bozarking, consider doing a verified AMA?

That's an idea, I guess they could verify by checking IP addresses or something. I avoided doing an AMA as Bozarking cause the thought of answering all those questions in character was pretty daunting.

Sort of. I felt a few weeks ago that Bozarking had run his course and was mostly commenting on the Bozarking, Bozarking, Bozarking, threads cause it was fun. I wrote a post about throwing tomatoes at call girls that I was kind of meh on and got an immediate "you're trying to hard" response.

I've watched commenters on other sites go through "Fat Elvis" stages and thought it was best just to end it. It's not like I can't take criticism or anything as much as it confirmed my heart wasn't in writing Bozarking posts anymore. I've actually been pretty shocked at how crazy the response was since they were mostly written as drunken attempts at writing the Aristocrats joke/Derek and Clive routines. Definitely been a weird self confidence boost. My dream ever since since I was 7 (I'm 22) was to draw a syndicated panel comic and I might actually give it a shot now.

Bingo. The only way to get a halfway-decent "best of 2009" is to allow nominations all year, then choose the most popular ones for final voting at the end.

What we have now is more "best of the last week or two that people can idly remember".

I mean seriously - bozarking for best commenter of the year? One or two dumb spiels about wanting to fuck his sister is better than the hundreds of pages of insightful, poetic, compelling human stories, analysis, insightful ideas and epiphanies I've read on reddit over the course of the whole year?

Bullshit - he's just a flash-in-the-pan meme that people temporarily recognised, so he got the votes. If people still remember him by name in six months time I'll eat my hat. Two hats, in fact. With a side of shoes.

It's an insult to all the people on reddit who actually do provide skillfully-written, engaging, interesting content, nominating a lame Readers Wives' wannabe like bozarking.

106
kleinbl00•

Speaking as a game-player, it's all a game. Bozarking did exactly the right thing, as did Necrophiliac, as did wrench_hands - go hard, go fast, go funny, and then vanish like a fart in the wind before anyone can really get used to you. Does anyone really think they would have made a movie about Richie Valens if he'd lived long enough to tour the casino circuit? But hint at unplumbed brilliance and lo and behold, you're an instant legend.

It's actually far easier to rack up karma as a new account than it is as an old account. During my hiatus I swapped usernames every week; one of my accounts has like 5k karma. And yes - go for the joke, go for that which can be read in five seconds or less, and plant it early on. Either that, or write absurdism - call it the 4chan effect. People like reading titillating things that they don't have to consider the reality of, and if everyone is talking about you, everyone has something to talk about. Get into the habit of it and you start getting lampreys; I think there was a time when Karmanaut couldn't post anything without immediately going to -4 because the grumblies would downvote everything he said on principle. On the other hand, philoj had amassed 70k karma or so in a couple years (and this was prior to six months ago, back when that was hard) and nearly nobody noticed when he vanished. The chattering class does not reward consistency or long-term contribution, they reward lolcats and Facebook screengrabs.

This whole "best of" thing really does nothing more than put a target on your back (EDIT: and a cowpie after your name - sweet jesus am I glad to have dodged that one!). It inhibits your ability to say anything just for the sake of saying it, because your "audience" expects something "worthy of bozarking." 'cuz here we are - debating the greatness of a dude who posted a few (very) funny bits of absurdism as if he were Basquiat. But much like teh funny and teh heartstrings didn't go away when Necrophiliac called it quits, it isn't going to go away now. 911wasaninsidejob is still around, as is CuntSmellersINC... only now everyone enjoys their wit without any expectation. It's really better for everyone.

(so why are you still here, asshole? We were enjoying your absence...)

'cuz half the time I wrote something interesting under another alias, somebody (or multiple somebodies) guessed it was me. I can't hide and it's a pain in the ass staying hid. I realized this when someone asked an acoustics question and I discovered that I had the choice of not contributing at all... or owning up to the fact that for every 10 people who enjoy my being here there will be a few angrily stalking me and that fuckit, I can take 'em in a fight.

But the whole "best of" thing? It's bullshit. It aids no one. It recognizes the wrong things. And the people who care recognize your words anyway; raising your awareness amongst the chattering class does nothing but increase the mess.

Me too.

That being said, I don't particularly care.

He's a one-hit-wonder. If he had consistently made witty, funny posts over the course of several months, then I wouldn't mind.

Every time a cousin thinks 'should I?' of his slow but attractive blood relative He will be there. Whenever a brother innapropriately grazes against his sister and feels an awkward sensation, He will populate the silence of their downcast gazes.

I once left the building through the window of the 42nd floor while a bomb was going off, made a backflip and landed on my dragon pet's back and flew back to safety in my castle on the mountaintop.

I came here and wasn't planning on saying anything. But Seeing as you like to tell people what's on your mind, i thought you might like to read what's on mine..Also boobs.

WarToad's comment warmed the cockles of me heart, so I'm glad he won. Congrats to all.

I did the first time. Tonight, though, I re-read it with my live-in boyfriend reading over my shoulder (laptop in couch). And he cried! That has some magnitude to it.

Maybe below the cockles. Maybe in the sub-cockle area. Maybe in the liver, maybe in the kidney...

Maybe even in the colon, we don't know.

I could easily tell I reading reddit's Comment of the Year. Four comments down, IDriveAVan is already saying, "I like to convince myself that I shit tobasco sauce."

Wow, thanks guys!

Looks like a golden nugget. Perhaps the fine folks at Cash4Gold could help you claim a profit here...

You know they feed all that gold to gold zombies. America don't be fooled, you're feeding heathen beasts! Gold zombies are planning to take over.

Huh. I wonder how long that's going to stay there for.

Also, if you friend yourself and post in r/tldr, you'll be "qgyh2 [Statue, F, S, M]" Can I get a screenshot of that?

His Noodly Appendage has blessed us all.

You definitely deserved it, though I'd like to see them rename it to the "qgyh2 award" next year and give it to someone else for a change.

I have to say this, it's a bit distracting.

Wow, that thing looks pretty terrible. I hope they don't keep them forever.

They'll disappear sometime tomorrow. We'll bring them back next year, though, so if you'd like to submit a replacement (that fits into 8 pixels tall, 11 wide), we'd love to have it.

3
starkinter•

I think it'd be a really tough job to fit anything meaningful into that size without it looking a bit crummy. I'd probably go with just a 'B' for 'Best of' or something.

1
FillInTheBlank•

You could always make it larger than 8x11, it's only going to be there for 2 days so it's not really going to be a problem.

I think that would be a bad aesthetics / unobtrusiveness tradeoff.

Agreed. I'd give my account to him.

Seriously though, I have everyone at work using it and people are really amazed on how well it works.

Very glad that MrGrim + Look of disappointment won. Congrats y'all!

EDIT: Wow...that's what I get for commenting on a Reddit post before I get out of bed in the morning. Good thing my priorities are straight though.

Submitter of the Year: qgyh2

I think we should give qgyh2 a life-time award for best submitter already.

21
Moz•

He's not as well known for some reason—probably because he doesn't comment as much—but maxwellhill has been a redditor for longer and has more link karma.

maxwellhill•

Why thank you, Moz but I am simply an old-fashion content provider and really not much good for anything else ;)

He's probably going to win it every year of his life anyway.

S2S2S2S2S2•

Congratulations to everyone! I think all of the winners are very deserving of their awards! However, I am sad that the now-defunct bozarking won over others who've been a community staple for much longer.

18
[deleted]•

If by "much longer" you mean "a few more months", then yes.

While I won't argue against Karmanaut's involvement in the community, his tenure is not one of the things I'd draw attention to.

24
S2S2S2S2S2•

Well, I can't check how long bozarking was around as the account has been deleted. But he only became very well known 'round these parts a couple months ago, quickly becoming a meme. It seems to me that it's the short-term memory of voters at work here; karmanaut hasn't been very active these last few months, and bozarking was the account au courant. (Active being, of course, defined by karmanaut's own ridiculously prodigious standards.)

ABlinkin•

C'mon man, just stop it already. I knew one of the karmanaut fanboys were going to be on here complaining that he didn't get the award.

karmanaut has received more than enough acclaim for the year, it's OK for others to get some recognition as well. The votes have been cast, the community has spoken - don't spoil it with this nonsense.

8
S2S2S2S2S2•

What nonsense? Voicing my opinion that giving an award to someone who just deleted their account makes me wish it went to someone with more roots to the community?

Oh. Right.

Yo, bozarking, I'm really happy for you, I'ma let you finish, but karmanaut is one of the best videos of all time!

Or something like that.

Not at all surprised that the top comment was in the last month, and that bozarking only started getting huge really recently.
