lpark (Inaugural Class) (also 1924wasagoodyear) - Evidently the stress of balancing his responsibilities as house dookie with his apparently important job as a grain counter was too much for him to handle. A bizarre suicide mission sealed lpark's IC demise. Legend has it that his ghost still roams the boards somewhere, under a moniker known by few, if any, posters.

flapsfisher (Inaugural Class) - Beloved for his "plain ol' likeability, levelheadedness in times of stress, and his unwavering sense of humor."
Nominated by EasternShoreHeel |
SnoopRob (Inaugural Class) - See fisher, flaps.
Nominated by EasternShoreHeel |
clevel (Inaugural Class) - Drew attention to himself for his attempts to send "the play" to Roy, but catapulted himself into the Pantheon for his good-natured attitude in the midst of all the ribbing he took over the situation. |
stinkel (Class of July 2006) - Even after being banned on a different name due to a drunken IC meltdown, stinkel, though beloved on the boards, still struggles with the occasional alcohol-induced rage that gets him in hot water with the moderators. |
Jersey Heel in VA (Class of August 2006) - Famous for his tireless defending of John Bunting and his unceasing mockery of all things N.C. State, Jersey starts no less than five threads a day on the football board. |
MotorBoatJones (Class of September 2006) - Aptly named after a rather obscure character in a Michael Jordan commercial, MBJ delighted the board with a variety of usually inane threads. Often dueling with moderators due to his random style and occasionally insensitive remarks, MBJ frequently went through periods of temporary bans, only to return later to the delight of the entire board.

The Old EZ Board (Class of June 2007) - While not exactly a poster, the old board became a second home to many posters. Though IC changed software in early 2007, the Old Board will forever hold a place in the hearts of all the posters it came into contact with.

Posternames are eligible to be honored if they meet any of the following requirements:
1. Inside Carolina Poster of the Year
2. Most Valuable Poster on a Thread of the Year (as voted by other posters on the thread)
3. They have ever watched an Olympic Gold Medal Ceremony

NewOldGuy (Inaugural Class) - "Simply fabulous in every way. Very knowledgable and diplomatic."
Nominated by EasternShoreHeel |
TheSoupNazi (Inaugural Class) - Contributed immensely to both IC culture and to the 2005 National Championship run by posting a link to the infamous Brian Collins (aka the Boom Goes the Dynamite Guy) on IC. |
RayRayFelton (Inaugural Class) - Loved by many, hated by...the same people that love him. There are many reasons to induct RayRay into the Pantheon, but we'll cite his self-imposed bannings as the icing on the cake. Other RayRay items of interest...his big screen TV and his "Humpries we not be a dookie" thread title.
Nominated by....well...RayRayFelton |
ManhattanHeel - No other poster on the basketball board can put the occasional rogue dookie poster in his place like she can. When dookie posters lock horns with Manhattan, one of two things happen. Either they get themselves banned for making stupid remarks in their frustration, or they run back to the TDD with their tails tucked between their legs.

SeattleIrish (Inaugural Class) - Without living in Seattle or being Irish, SI spent an inordinate amount of time JCDing at every given opportunity.
Disclaimer: SeattleIrish could have very well lived in Seattle and been Irish. We really have no idea.
|
Ambassador of Quan (Inaugural Class) - Known for his gross overuse of the quote feature and his posts that rambled on for several paragraphs at a time, AoQ joined the other JCDers in his attempts to defend the dark side. |
uncman (Inaugural Class) - After innocently starting a thread about Carolina having vastly more players in the NBA than dook, he was pummeled with pages and pages of posters making comments like "Water is wet" and "We landed on the moon." The thread then somehow evolved into a bizarre diverse discussion, with such topics as whether or not Batman is really a superhero or just a rich guy with cool toys. |
Heel7777 (Inaugural Class) - After starting a nonsensical thread with multiple misspellings and grammatical errors, this poster took offense to flapsfisher's immediate bttt of the thread. Heel7777 responded to flaps with "F U" but when reprimanded and warned of the board rules on profanity, he explained that it simply stood for "frist unlooked...but not anymore, more or less." |
ReddyVanHalen*** (Class of July 2006) - Allegations of a scandalous IC-related gambling episode notwithstanding, Reddy is enshrined in the Pantheon on the merits of his unmatched ability to start new threads and his famed RVHCOI (ReddyVanHalen Common Opponents Index). He was also instrumental in the formation of the inaugural Anti-Meltdown Squad. |
MajorTom (Class of July 2006) - Known for his penchant for always having a barb on hand with which to zing lpark, MT is a stickler for correct grammar and punctuation. |
DMLHeel (Class of July 2006) - Despised for his constant (though ultimately fictitious) claims to "insider information," DML's undoing came with his infamous "glass of brie" comment. |
whatIpostlike (Class of August 2006)- Known for his unique third person posting style, wIpl can always bring levity to the most controversial of discussions. |
RutgersAl (Class of November 2006) - While not exactly a despised poster, this Jersey native spent much of the off-seasons (both football and basketball) explaining to ICers why Rutgers was going to defeat North Carolina. While the Scarlet Knights were able to squeak by the dominant gridiron Heels, the odds of success on the hardwood are slim. We give him an A in the confidence department, but a D when it comes to choosing a state to live in or a team to root for. |
vster (Class of January 2007) - Rapidly rising to fame on the wings of his Dick Vitale parodies, vster's threads drew unprecedented responses, where he was often hailed as the greatest freshman in IC history. Not only did his fame land him in the Pantheon, but, more importantly, it garnered him a gig as Senior Duke Correspondent for Carolina Water Cooler. |
DrummyNC (Class of February 2007)- Drummy reeled off an impressive winning streak as the starter of the Official Game Thread during the winter of 2006-07. Controversy arose after his winning streak finally came to an end and the debate began as to who should be the starter for the Official Game Thread. But in the end, others who dared start the Game Thread in place of Drummy were chastised. |
feedmyego (Class of March 2007) - IC’s resident statistical genius, he regularly goes out of his way to provide valuable and in-depth figures and analyses about Carolina basketball. |
ShadowSpawne (Class of June 2007) - Consistency, dedication, and being an incredible supporter of Carolina basketball are all accurate descriptions of this poster. He is active on the boards year round, which counts just as much, if not more, than using clever gimmicks to gain board popularity.

TrustInRoy (Class of July 2007) - No matter what happens, this poster is always the first to say something positive in an attempt to keep everyone's head up. In a world full of Negative Nancies, it's nice to have a Positive Poster.
Nominated by MrJoshua9 |
SATXheel (Class of August 2007) - SATX is extremely knowledgeable about UNC basketball and is a daily participant on the message boards. Her immense faith and trust in Carolina Basketball have made her a respected member of the IC community.
Nominated by DrummyNC |
Keyserheel (Class of October 2007) - Keyser is widely regarded as the most argumentative Carolina fan in the history of IC. No matter the topic, this poster will find someone within the thread to argue with for at least a page or two. If not for the "heel" in his user name, most would believe him to be a rival fan.
Nominated by KBDiggity |
tdawg148 (Class of June 2008) - While only a lowly RS Freshman, this poster went out on a limb and started the infamous "Tyler Hansbrough Facts" thread. Though many posts on this thread were simply altered Chuck Norris facts, many of the originals were quite good. For instance, were you aware that Dean Smith said even he couldn't hold Tyler under 20 points? |
dwolfunc (Class of December 2008) - This kid is 14 and is now one of the top three names on the Tar Pit Premium. Nothing is true until dwolf confirms it. His friendships with players, though sometimes a smidge on the creepy side, add a very nice touch to the board. |
JasonCapelX25 (Class of September 2009) - This stalker - excuse us - this poster has become quite adept at providing the free board with some premium information. By hiding behind dumpsters, sneaking into practices, and likely purchasing night vision goggles, this guy has brought the inside scoop on numerous basketball stories.
Nominated by a multitude of posters, thanks to his public appeal for a nomination |
