an idea for the forum.

[Purple Penguin]

I kind of frequent another (game specific) forum and they do something there that I thought would be a bit neat if we tried something simillar here.

every so often (I'm not sure how often, I think yearly) they give out awards. not really prizes but more like titles or something. the people didn't win anything ,except bragging rights. what they would do is nominate eachother for different awards and after a month or so they would have a vote and announce who won. they have these titles to choose from

1) Best contributor

2) Funniest poster

3) Nicest/kindest poster

4) Most annoying poster

5) Most obsessive poster

6) Most argumentative poster

7) Best personal photo

8) Best signature

I just think it would be a pretty neat idea to do something like that here.

what do you all think?

[Purple Penguin]

I'd vote for Alec for #7, just 'cause of his avatar

[Primenal]

I'd try to give Nec a run for his money on 6. If theres something to argue about, i'll find a way to argue about it. :)

so does the fact that the mods havn't said anything about this idea mean they're not interested in it? or they don't like it?

This place is more of a library, research center, and information booth (with the obvious exception of this particular forum) rather than a social club, plus I think it's a case of we just don't have the time with all the activity that goes on in the various forums.

Besides, folks would probably bitch about our results anyway... ;)

[Sapherz]

who said a mod should do it, why not PP (since it was his idea), just make a thread and people just put who they'd like to win each title, then all you have to do is count it all up, ok the counting would take a while, but if anyone challenged, they could count it themselves

[Purple Penguin]

should I just start another thread with all of them or one seperate thread for each one?

[Sapherz]

well if you start one for each it'll take up alot of room on the off topic page. just make sure you think of all the categorys first, and have a few guidelines, like don't vote for yourself, don't vote twice, don't put anything else in this thread except votes, votes will be counted on x day at x time according to x place

[Purple Penguin]

okay so which catagorys do you think I should do? all of them or just a few to see how it goes first?

or maybe we should do one catagory a week or something...

[Purple Penguin]

okay I think I'll do one a week, at least to start with, to see how it goes.

I'll start with Best Contributor

[Elucifer]

can i get an award for something? maybe the most useless award or something.
