Seriously, GS seems to have lost a lot of posters lately, why? And, where have they gone? is there a new board that is sucking the life out of GS?

Truthfully (and I can't speak for anyone else,) I still come here to read, but that's about it. I got tired of posting here when I realized that if I didn't follow the "party line/gushfest", that I would probably get a lecture or snide remarks in return.

It isn't always fun to participate in that kind of atmosphere, so maybe that's why some choose to go elsewhere to do their posting...

I guess it is kinda harsh to have "stupid and dumb" but it is all in jest I hope.

Sweet name skatinghunni!

the tone here is very serious compared to many other skating boards. While I personally tend not to participate in these threads, I'm all for them. It lightens the atmosphere a bit. Fun to read them though

OK! I get what you are saying, I took offense to the categories that would bring about bashing (like stupidest/annoying)Then in the spirit of things, I'll add a couple:

~Most Annoying: fans who write threads/posts just to bash a skater
Or Peggy Fleming!
~Funniest Commentator: Dick Button
~Greatest Waste of Talent: Tonya Harding
~Most Likely to Succeed (only new arrivals to the Senior scene debuting 2005-06): Yu Na Kim
~Best Hair: Michelle Kwan
~Nicest Smile: Tanith Belbin

There's my light, fluffy side!

AAAAA- MEN, MKFSfan!!!

Here I go:

Cutest at my Droolfest

: Matt Savoie/Yags/Philippe Candeloro (waaaay before the cheese, his competitive routines and smoldering hot, clad in black Godfather got me into FS at the tender age of 14)

Sweetest/Nicest: Philippe Candeloro (answered my e-mail personally, offered to get me backstage COI passes-to my chagrin he wasn't in the lineup at the show I saw- and warmly complimented me on my French and my musical endeavors...which reminds me, I have to send him a CD

)

Prettiest: Yukina Ota :love:

Annoying: Sandra Bezic, HANDS DOWN

Smartest: Debi Thomas/Matt Savoie

Most Inventive: Stephanie Rosenthal

Funniest: Johnny Weir

"Naturals": Tiffany Chin, Sasha Cohen, Matt Savoie, Lu Chen, Emanuel Sandhu, Oksana Baiul (I know this was more a personality thread than one about skaters' skating, but there's just something about natural talent and musicality on ice that just blows me away and makes me want to gush on and on about it, as you can see in my siggy :love:

- Those who haven't seen some of these skaters can find videos of them posted on youtube.com)

Least mean-spirited and most fun-loving and lighthearted thread starter/GS Breath of Fresh Air:.....

#1Kerryfan!!!! :love:

Cheers,
Sarah M.

This can be like the Mock Elections they do for seniors in their high school yearbook. People can add categories if they want. Most are usually superficial and all are subjective.

Prettiest: Tanith. No doubt about it. No one even comes close.
Most Handsome: Alexi Yagudin. Simply yummy.
Prettiest Eyes: Sasha, Stephan
Best Skating Skills: Michelle
Best Ladies Costumes Over Her Career: Michelle, Jenny Kirk
Best Behind in Skating Pants: All males skaters!

Best Hair Ladies: Michelle
Best Hair Men: Michael Weiss
Most Overused Music Choices: Sasha
Most Likely to Succeed: Kimmie, Evan
Most Wanted on a Desert Island: Alexi Yagudin

I will think of some more later.

Tanith really is beautiful. Such a shame she was left off the People's Most Beautiful list. How old is she?

She's 21.

She (Tanith) should have probably have been there instead of Cohen. But just a small nitpick; I don't care who they choose.

Oh there's no roll the eyes smiley thing.

Crizzy · May 12, 2006

Most annoying-Peter Carruthers, the nonsense he asks after their skate!
Second most annoying-Terry Gannon's "she doesn't control her own destiny" or the little tidbit information he says while TALKING over a skater's program.
Third most annoying-Peggy's exquisite, exquisite and her hair matches her orange shirt comments. the last one was in jest.

But perhaps the grandmaster of most annoying are sportswriters who could never get their facts right. Oh wait a minute, they should be under the Stupidest/Dumbest category. :laugh:

The eyes don't exactly roll, but you send the message, LOL. (Click on "more" under smilies, or type "rolleye" encased by colons.)

I like the fact it doesn't roll the eyes, I think of it more as a "pondering thought."

Ira would be my second favorite in pants, the pink belt in words 2005, wow!!! :love:

But Fumie (shocked I said that aren't you? hehehe) at worlds was :love:

I will say Ira looks better in pants then a skirt JMO, and if I wasn't bias - your are right -Irina is number 1 in pants.
