This is the counterpart to Forum Rivals, so we can pat on the back forum users we think are particularly nice and congratulationable(even if it is not an actual word). This is independent of whether or not we actually interact with them on a regular basis; some users seem outright cool just from reading them.
Off the top of my head (thus likely forgetting someone) and in no particular order:
-Doodlebug Anklebitter: One of the most entertaining and indecent posters to read. Also, I like the way in which he showcases his ideological views, even if I can disagree with most of them. Plus his aliases are awesome.
-Orthos: All-around cool guy and very even tempered. Always a good addition to a discussion and one of the voices of reason in this otherwise mad world of Paizo forums.
-Meatrace: Quite a clever and assertive poster, even if we sometimes bump heads on certain delicate matters. I like his argumentative consistency and debate stamina, and can be a pretty fun poster to read in less serious topics.
-James Jacob: This man has the patience to answer even our silliest questions. I particularly enjoy the fact he takes the time to personally explain the reasoning behind design decisions, and that he does so in a light-hearted and pleasant to read manner.
-TOZ: Has probably the best one-liners in the forums. And his coments seem to have the capacity to quickly defuse otherwise tense topics, which is a remarkable quality.
-Mr Fishy: Mr Fishy does not care if you like Mr Fishy. Mr Fishy likes Mr Fishy.
-Aberzombie: Very entertaining and informative fellow. I keep reading his name as "Amberzombie", however.
-Gorbacz: Funny, clever, and polemic, all wrapped up inside a bag that will eat your magic items in the worst possible moment.
-Mikaze: Always an interesting read, and able to delve in often ignored but important subjects in a well-versed and thoughtful manner.
-Evil Lincoln: A very clever and articulate poster that consistently brings worthwhile material into topics, regardless of subject.
-Crimsom Jester: Makes justice to his name. A very comical, entertaining, and clever user. Seeing his name on the posters list often drives me to check the topic in question.
-Celestial Healer: I can't quite put my finger of it, but there is just something very cool and stylish about this guy that makes him very likeable.
The FAWTLy Crew - Aberzombie, Celestial Healer, Freehold DM, Crimson Jester, Emperor7, Taig, Urizen, Moorluck, Solnes, Woodraven, Sharoth, Houstonderek, Aeglos, Ragadolf, Kajehase, Drejk, DSXMachina, Jess Door, Tordek, Eldritch Mr. Shiny, Cheapy, and probably a bunch of others I'm forgetting. Reasons are obvious. FAWTL FOREVER!
Scintillae. Might not be fair considering she's one of my players and easily my closest friend, but still.
Doodlebug, JMD031, Psionichamster, Gruumash, Gark the Goblin, and the rest of the FAWTL refugees. Lots of funny going around in this group.
Ambrosia Slaad has some of the best aliases and is generally hilarious all around.
Klaus I tend to get along with for reasons I can't yet put my finger on, but seems to be a generally cool, laid-back guy. Bonus points for being the same age as me.
TOZ for being TOZ.
Ulgulanoth Dunno, I like this guy for some reason. Again can't quite put a finger on why.
Kobold Cleaver for being an awesome guy despite all the abuse people used to pile on him. And for being a kobold because kobolds are awesome.
Yasha, Turin the Mad, Allen Stewart/KillerGM: So much horror, insanity, and madness. Such beautiful chaos and destruction. Ia! Ia!!
Mr Fishy. Nuff said.
Wraithstrike, Gorbacz, Mikaze, Evil Lincoln, and Ashiel for some reason are the ones I always run into on rules/discussions type threads and tend to like their posts a lot. Even when they disagree with one another.
ALL the Paizo staff, but primarily James Jacobs, Liz Courts/Lilith, Sara Marie, Gary Teter , Cosmo, Vic, Ross...
Contributors Richard Pett, Louis Agresta, Nick Logue, Jim Groves, Kevin Murphy, and Niel Spicer all jump to mind.
The crews at Frog God Games, Abandoned Arts, Dreamscarred, and Fire Mountain Games as well.
I think that's all for now, though I'll probably think of more once I can't edit this anymore =D

~cries and slithers off to a dank, dark, deep hole in the ground to wallow in my misery~
We are too huge a crew to remember everybody >_< I edited that list three times. Four, now =)
=P

~cries in mysery from my dank, dark, deep hole~ I was on the first 30 pages of the original FAWTL thread and now I am so soon forgotten! ~CRIES~ The misery! The agony! To be so unloved! ~cries some more~
~cries some more~ It is too late!

~looks at the poodle in distain~ oh. My misery has just been compounded. It is a poodle!
Sebastian doesn't hang around in OTD as much as he used to. Shame.

Oh right. Add TCG to my list. One of these days I'm going to find stats for a Coffee Golem.

These are people who are usually my allies in polititroll threads, though not always. I think these people, and a lot more but less frequent posters I'm too lazy to think of so don't be offended if you're in that category, share the same values as me more often than not. I've had disagreements with all of them, none of them acrimonious.
thejeff, AMiB and IT especially are the reason I don't post more. Usually they do the work for me so I can just +favorite their responses.
Honorable mentions to Klaus and thewhiteknife. Although I think we disagree on more than we agree, I think klaus pretty cool. And he knows a lot about church history, which is a subject of particular fascination to me. thewhiteknife seems to have the same values as I do, but has come to the polar opposite conclusions, which I find fascinating.

I love my Fawtl family so much, I am willing to forgive them for liking math, Joss Whedon, Alton Brown and Facebook.
I also like DeathQuaker and Ambrosia Slaad and EileenProphetofIstus, the the latter of whom I have not seen in ages.
Also, baronaremhashevum and Tequila Sunrise get extra love and special mention for being the first people from the messageboards that I met. Without them, I don't know where I would be today.
wtf is FAWTL anyway? I see those threads, and I've occasionally peeked in, but it just seemed like random blathering.
It's pretty much just random chat, yes. Just a fun pointless discussion free from politics, religion, or game arguments.

Grick is pretty awesome. When he pipes up in the Rules forum, his answers are thorough, well-cited, and unbiased. Which is like a breath of fresh air in the metaphorical fart-cloud of "whatever I was already doing is the clear intent and anyone pointing out that the rules say the opposite is a munchkin and/or rules lawyer" that is the Rules forum.

Oh. Maybe I'll have to ruin it then.

Please don't. There's precious little place people can go and get away from that crap.

Yeah... I'd like to say "please don't" either. We don't enjoy banning folks from the boards, but deliberately ruining things for other people is one good way to force our hand.
I'm hoping that your post was a joke.
[blushes at all the kind words]
I think you're all kind of cute.
Man this thread makes me wonder what I can do to become more popular. Perhaps if I offered alcoholic beverages to people I would be more popular.
Anyways, I consider everyone on these forums to be my pal except one person.

Indecent nudity. We'll be all "Gah, how could he?!" on the outside, but all "Ohh yeah!" on the inside.
This thread made me realize there were posters that I liked than I realized.

CourtFool, who doesn't post enough, for appreciable optimism
JMD031 for rants and his strange dry humor and being nice to people
Doodlebug Anklebiter for being a bloody commie
TOZ for chillness
meatrace for humorous strawmans
Vic Wertz for seeming pretty rational and because KC is totally wrong about me hating him (!)
Orthos for knowing when to stop following a thread, and for being pretty chill with everyone
Bitter Thorn for being super nice despite the mullet
Aberzombie for being funny sometimes I guess
Urizen for good honest innuendo
Kirth Gersen for reasonable and sardonic politroll thread input
Ambrosia Slaad for injecting some of the spirit of the old roleplay threads
Kelsey for chilling out and having a coolrad campaign setting
psionichamster and gran rey de los mono and Gruumash and Hitdice and everyone else who occasionally posts in the fawtl refugee thread. I might elaborate more when it is less late.
edit: Grand Magus is an amazing troll who disguises their opinions in layers of insincerity. Most excellent.
yellowdingo: the best poster on the forums
I love everyone and everything.
I'm a bit dubious about someone who obliquely insults me in a thread about people you like...
-.-
Giantflamingskull of death: awwww thanks
Bignorsewolf: I rarely disagree with him in science/political/philosophical threads.
Hmmm that may require professional help... :)
I like everyone on here.
Yeah, it's no problem. He doesn't use the same avatar, so that minimizes some of the confusion. I've only had to point out once in a thread that that wasn't me :P

I like Sebastian.
I print out all of his posts, regardless of topic. I lay them on the floor and roll around on them, hoping to absorb some small part of his wisdom and wit.

You're ruining my reputation. Cursed poodles.
Also I dig:
CourtFool
Doodlebug
Dogbladewarrior
and probably people I'm forgetting.
Just going by those most often in my PM inbox, it looks like wraithstrike (and his evil twin Concerro), Jim Groves, and to a lesser extent Maxximilius.
Grimmy:, i would like to play i n his campaings. he seems like a really cool guy.
[fistbumps Grimmy]
NH Paizo in the house!
Hee hee!
Meatrace got biznitch-slapped by staff in a thread about Paizo friends.
He's one of my faves.

I keep fearing one of this days I'll get RickRolled for clicking on your links.
I thought this thread was about Penthouse Forum. Never mind.
This thread made me realize there were posters that I liked than I realized.You accidentally a word. A pretty important one, as a matter of fact.
edit: "more posters" :)
James Jacobs, for his thread
I like my fellow FaWtLs of course, all of them, I just pick out Bitter Thorn for taking us on a fun sightseeing sunday at PaizoCon
Doodlebug and Gark for beeing funny
I like the regulars of the LGBT thread for their openness (is that a word?)
DeathQuaker for beeing one of the most reasonable and inteligent posters in the forums
Gorbac for inteligent snark
