I vote for Mike Mann.
Tampa Terry is a very close second.
I used to wear a WWJD braclet, but now I wear a WWZD braclet…just teasin Zeb
It’s “grammar”. Sorry.
… grammar/spelling police flame me.
sorry. (smiley face)
Tampa Terry is just about the only one that really welcomes newbies into the fold. She gives excellent advice, top to bottom, and spends more time crafting each post (I would imagine) than I have spent writing certain papers for college (ahem).
Since I’m graduating this week, this means by the powers vested in me by the state of Colorado that TT gets an honorary T-mag degree in “helperology”. (grin)
Shut up, “helperology” is SO a word.

Tampa Terry is a man.
Tampa Terry, Patricia, Goldberg…a nutritional expert, a strongwoman, and a powerlifter; who else do you need?
I don’t think that the people that contribute despite not receiving recognition, gratitude, or compensation really care to be deemed the Forum MVP.

I need Cupcake for my cheat days.
TT does deserve the most-patient-with-newbies-and-knowledgeable-about-nutrition award. Maybe the rest of us could take a hint from her and show a little more kindness to our new brethren too.
TT is the man and stands alone atop the grassy knoll of the forum elite …
But when it comes down to which threads I open Vs. threads I leave alone I look for a few names on the lists.
Cupcake
Goldberg
Patricia
Thunder
Mike Man

Dan “I got a good thing going with this quotable moniker thing” Mcvicker
Oh yeah, and anything I’ve replied to already 
B.
I’ve been awed by Tampa Terry’s incredible grasp of some really damn complex subjects and her willingness to impart some of her wisdom on those that ask.
The same is true for ~karma~ but for straightforwardness and attitude.
Cupcake…well, you’ve all read his stuff so he gets a vote for style.
I’d like to put in a vote for Dan McVicker for what was unquestionably the funniest post of all time. This MVP nomination merits a reprint:
"I asked around for some advice on this, and the general consensus is that you should wait to take Mag-10. Remember to concentrate on the basics! What are the basics? Let me enlighten you.
There’s one thing that people seem to have forgotten about that’s a staple of a healthy body building routine: Leeches! You eat your canned tuna and vegetables, and lift twice a day, but why has everyone forgotten about the bodybuilding power of bloodletting!??!?!
If you’re having trouble getting enough calories, I reccomend smoking several large bong-loads of marijuana per day. It’s my favorite “supplement”.
Also, people don’t realize that feces is extremely high in vitamins and protein. It’s a common myth that feces is waste. Nothing could be farther from the truth. It’s a super concentrated load of mass building matter.
Feces is my second favorite supplement.
People don’t realize that if they’re not huge, it might be because they’re possessed. The solution, of course, is to drill a hole in your head to let the bad spirits out.
Now, corpses’ hair and nails continue to grow after death. This is a known fact.
They continue to grow nails and hair because they’re not really dead! these “un-dead” (if you will) are incredible athletes. They have amzing endurance and monumental strength. You’re probably wondering what their secret is. Well, I’m here to tell you that it’s as simple as their diet. What do they eat, you ask? It’s very simple: Human brains. Most living people don’t realize the kind of nutritional value an average brain has. But! you don’t have to settle for the mere human brain. The best way to access the power of the “un-dead” is to defeat them in single combat, and eat their brains! This gives you the focused power of all the brains they have ever eaten.
Another great strategy is to break your bones. When you break a bone, your body goes into healing overdrive, so a guaranteed way to add mass to a certain part of your body is to break all the bones in that area!
I make sure that my femurs are shattered at all times, and beat the shit out of myself with a sock full of doorknobs in my biceps and chest. I compliment this with a steady intake of 3-27 raw eggs and a stick of butter.
Bees are natures candy.
Burning is also highly-underrated. All the protein retention studies are done on burn victims, right? Those guys are in a super-training state!!! Make sure to have your training partner douse you in gasoline after each workout and toss a match on you. Now that’s what I call a “finisher”!!!
Make sure to down some coconut oil after each set. This makes sure to “fat-load” the muscles with precious saturates.
I’m here to dispel the myth that feet are an important part of the human body. People rely on them too heavily, and the result is underdeveloped pecs and biceps. The solution, of course is to bind them like the chineese do to their women.
You can then stop relying on your legs, which already contain big muscles that need no further development, and force yourself to focus on achieveing spectacular gains that you only dreamed of previously.
Two words: Mayo-naise.
I will gladly provide some zany weblinks to back any and all information in this post. I will also be happy to provide answers to any questions about this information while being sure not to muddle my reply with “logic”, “common sense”, or “facts or evidence.”
Atta boy, Dan.
Can I put in a vote for myself for the 800 or so posts I made before I got published:)?
me
That was fuckin hilarious.
I missed that post the first time…that may be the funniest thing I’ve ever read
I’m a newbie and if my vote counts at all, its for Tampa Terry who is indeed a very knowledgeable women.
She has continued to be as helpful and positive now (even though I may have annoyed her at times with my private messages) as she was day one. I owe my sucess to her continued support and advice. Thanks TT
I remember that post from Dan “NeilG is a tool” McVicker. I second that nomination. Hehe, a sock full of doorknobs…
Vicker is da man!!!
Bee’s and brains!
It’s like he is a cross between old Jack Handy + In Living Color (i.e. fire marshal bill,handy man,ect)
Dan gets a vote here
Cake is my Philosophical Guru
and Tampa is the best by far - knowledge with Consciousness & a smile- no tude- ever! That rocks!
Man most able to embody Neil Pert= Magnus Road trip!
Karma has the biggest balls- her ability to put it all out there and tell us about some of the things she has gone through- HUGE! The pictures and her candor, her zest for life.
miss that chicky!
As far as staff goes
I say Lon Man is kick ass
Cutes kid = shugsy’s little miss dead lifting in flip flops / pig tails / and her dolly spotting her!
Tampa-Terry is a nice person who always helps newbies and is never rude.
My personal choices for MVP would probably be TT, Patricia and Thunder for quality information on the training/nutrition board, and SteelyEyes, Dan McV and Cupcake for the OTstuff. (Steely in particular. Half the time, when I go to post something he’s taken the words right out of my mouth.)
I haven’t been posting enough lately to qualify, I’m afraid. Now if there were a Lifetime Achievement Award…
