Does anyone want to do a forum awards?

it is done regularly on smaller forums and seems a bit of a giggle.

there would need to be a decision on categories but im envisaging getting it together then having the results on new yrs day perhaps?

so, what are the categories if it is decided an awards thread is a good idea?

  • great idea, I think it would be a laugh and a bit of fun....

    Could have some serious(ish) categories, but the gist should be in good jest, bit of a pi55-take. Unless you were thinking of a more 'serious' approach....

    My local boozer does it, and gives a presentation, the best of which is the COTY award (Cnut Of The Year) lol - came a close second in 2007 :lol:

    I want to vote "yes, but it will turn into a slagging match"

    catagories:

    best english
    quickest backtrack of any forum member
    most abuse in one post
    the "I don't get it and so will completley misread it" award

    Actually yeah, it could be quite amusing...

    You need to decide if you are willing to organise it all, may be more work than you are willing to put in, especially for a NYD results!

    Yes, if they're mostly in jest. Anything more serious should be along the lines of favourite trail centre, best shop - that kind of thing.

    i woul say the awards should be fun related, nothing too serious, as mentioned above, there is a place for all of that eleswhere.

    so, once the categories are decided, is everyone to vote in secret? ie send a pm to the person who is gonna compile it all and the results released accordingly?

    Something like that, or cut and paste the list and add your vote for each bit so we can all see. Set a deadline of say 2 weeks and go from there.

    Can't you set a pole for each category, maybe get people to PM you nominations for each category. You've got a good start with the category list above. If you leave it completely open you'll just get loads of entries with one vote :lol:
    It's easier to ask for forgiveness than for permission.

    I've bought a new bike....ouch - result
    Can I buy a new bike?...No - no result

    I think SS and Nicklouse would clean up on the "nice" awards.

    I would hope to get a "hated" or similar award.

    There needs to be a category for the Biggest Post Whore.

    This can only be awarded to people who regularly quote someone else's post in its entirety and add +1 or an emoticon :wink:

    It takes as much courage to have tried and failed as it does to have tried and succeeded.
