The term "flog" on BigFooty, particularly in the Bay 13 forum, is a playful but pointed insult used to describe posters who are seen as overly provocative, annoying, or prone to posting "drivel." Determining the "biggest flog" is subjective and a recurring theme in Bay 13 discussions, often culminating in the annual "Flog of the Year" (FOTY) award, where users nominate and vote for posters who embody this label through their behavior or posts.
### Historical Context and Notable Nominees
Based on available discussions, particularly from the Bay 13 "Flog of the Year" threads, here’s a breakdown of notable figures and trends up to 2025:
- Past Winners and Nominees: The FOTY award has a storied history, with winners like:
- DanWA (2018–2020, three-time winner), celebrated for consistent "floggish" behavior, such as relentless trolling or controversial takes.
- Footy Is The Win (2022), noted for provocative posts.
- Laphroaig (2021), Subaru (2017), J’AIDS (2015), and TazHawk15 (frequently nominated, e.g., 2023) are among other notable names.https://www.bigfooty.com/forum/thre...inations-in-this-thread-voting-later.1373865/
- In 2023, nominations included Elmer_Judd, Saveloy Rockstar, Triggered Tiger, Aristotle Pickett, and TazHawk15, with comments suggesting TazHawk15 is a perennial contender due to his persistent, polarizing presence.https://www.bigfooty.com/forum/thre...inations-in-this-thread-voting-later.1373865/
- Recent Activity (2024–2025): The 2024 FOTY thread mentions posters like Triggered Tiger and FITW (Footy Is The Win) as strong contenders, with accusations of spamming, meltdowns, or rigging votes for laughs. One user humorously claimed, “I’m just going to rig the result anyway,” highlighting the tongue-in-cheek nature of the contest.[]
### Characteristics of a "Biggest Flog"
Bay 13 users define a "flog" through behaviors like:
### Who Stands Out in 2025?
While no definitive 2025 FOTY winner is confirmed in the available data, TazHawk15 emerges as a strong candidate for the "biggest flog" title due to:
Other potential contenders include Elmer_Judd and Triggered Tiger, who were nominated recently for their “floggish” antics, but TazHawk15’s longevity and consistent mentions give him an edge.https://www.bigfooty.com/forum/thre...inations-in-this-thread-voting-later.1373865/
### Why No Clear Answer?
The "biggest flog" is a moving target, as Bay 13 thrives on subjective rivalries and humor. The FOTY award is less about crowning a definitive winner and more about celebrating the forum’s chaotic spirit. Without real-time access to the 2025 FOTY results, TazHawk15 is a safe bet based on historical data, but the title could shift depending on new threads or meltdowns.
