No, he is disqualified from the competition because he would get every award...

Hmm, I'll make the deadline for nominations Wednesday Afternoon, at like 6 pm Eastern U.S. time.

I think another forum is needed for the awards threads since they are taking up the entire misc section.

please? :D

I have noticed that I have been mentioned in a couple of threads. However I am rather ambiguous to all of this. Of course I like compliments, but I would like to prevent an atmosphere on the forums where we slab each other on the back and create a sort of in-crowd of regular posters. I much rather prefer to see new members with a very specific interest who came to UCP via Google or whatever and are able to discuss their subjects in a grown-up manner.

There are many of such members around which hardly get any exposure, but who are really the interesting part of the forums because their in-depth knowledge can be shared by all members here.

Ah c'mon Pieter, we need the attention!! :D

No, but seriously.. you're right. Even though I created this whole Awards thing, I'm also against it in a way, because it leaves out those members who regularly contribute to this forum, but tend not to stand-out as much as others. However, I felt this idea would be a good week or two of fun and competition in the forum, something that I feel can revive the forum back to it's prime.

There are awards who recognise new people arn't there?

And really this is just a bit of fun....

I can't really say I noticed a drop in user figures. There are a lot more Supporting Members than before, we have a lot of new guys coming, and there is generally new replies to threads that are waiting to be replied to.

One thing that can never happen is a place staying exactly the same. People come and go all the time, some you wouldn't expect, but there are a band of what I would deem 'hardcore' site visitors- I'd like to put myself amongst them, even if it is just for conversation.

I have to say that I don't like the awards thing- it smacks slightly of favouritism and reminds me of school, with all those 'popular' gimps. It may be nice to be nominated, but it just seems vaguely unfair to some others. Still happy to be voted for, though ;)

I was originally intending on gathering the nominations and making the final voting threads today, but I have two exams in the next two days.

Expect the final voting to be Friday night or Saturday morning.

Do I have to wear a tux to the awards ceremony? Can I show up drunk? Do I have to check my guns at the door?

So many questions, so little time to prepare!

It's happening tomorrow, sorry. I've been rather busy this week.

EDIT: This means Saturday, just in case all of you in the Eastern Hemisphere are already out and about while I'm awake here at 4:40 in the morning.

Don't worry, I haven't forgot about this thread.

I could have done the awards this past week, but I decided against it. I feel this will be more festive and fun if it gets done over Christmas Week, with Awards Ceremony on New Years Eve.

Just hurry up and post - I'm not 100% sure I'll have 'net access then, but I still want to vote :p

I also think if a poll can be made without the results being known until closing (is it possible) then that would be preferable in the voting.

I love the awards. It's not often you get the chance to bask in your own glory.

Also, it lets everybody know this forum does have a few gearheads running it, rather than a nameless, faceless "operator." I like the sort of "town hall" thing the awards bring to the site.
Great work.
Cheers.
