The biggest event of the year!
2009_POTY.gif

January 1st is the day of the biggest event of the year on TheologyOnline.com, yes, it's the 2009 Posts of the Year awards with your host, Knight (that's me). As you know every year (since 2002) I countdown the greatest posts made on TOL every year. You may ask yourself "how are these posts picked"? Well, the picking goes something like this.... I round-up all the Post of the Day picks that I have made each year and then I order them by the ones I think are the very best and so on. I also may pick posts that weren't picked as Posts of the Day yet are still worthy of being awarded a Post of the Year. So just because you haven't had a Post of the Day doesn't mean you will not get a Post of the Year!

Throughout the day on January 1st 2010 (and in this thread) I will be slowly releasing the winners. I will also be placing every winning selection in this post so you can easily find all of this years winner.

Before we get started you may want to take a trip down memory lane.....

The Posters of the Year Awards works as follows....

Every Post of the Year author is awarded points. The higher in the list the Post of the Year, the more points awarded. Obviously the more times an author shows up in the Post of the Year the more points they will accumulate.


And that's it for 2009!! Congratulations to all the winners!

me if I'm wrong but I don't think I saw any Catholics awarded a TOLie.

Don't tell me we don't have a shot.

Knight used to mail out actual trophies of a little gold guy. But some catholics named it St. Tolie and started worshipping it so he had to stop.

This year the following awards will be handed out....

The TOP 50 posts of the year.
(as picked by me)

The Posters of the year awards
One might think this would simply be a duplicate of the posts of the year except given to the poster that made the post and not the post itself. Oh no, it doesn't work that way. The poster of the year is weighted so that folks that have more Posts of the Year will get more points and therefore finish higher than folks that have only one post of the year award. For instance, the person who receives the best post of the year might only have that one post in the award show and therefore he would receive less points than a person who might have had three Posts of the Year. The Posters of the Year takes into account BOTH quality and quantity of posts.

The 2009 TruthSmacker Award
This honorary award will be given to a single person who I think has consistently smacked truth on TOL in the past year.
