I think it is time to start suggestions for next years awards. You guys can suggest new award ideas, suggestions about running the awards, etc. I personally have some. I would like to have a couple of other members to help me "moderate" the awards, maybe Dino, Mister Moss, or some other mods. We can also have the Best International Poster instead of just the Aussie Poster. I would like a certain amount of seriousness in the nominations/voting so someone who shouldn't be nominated be nominated. Here are the awards from last year: Rookie of the Year Biggest Jets Fan Best Jets Poster Friendliest poster Best signatures Funniest poster Best non-Jets Fan Poster Most knowledgeable poster Most Creative poster Best avatars The best thread of the year Most Underrated poster Best Female Poster Most overrated poster Biggest troublemaker Most argumentative poster Most likely go postal Post whore of the year Meanest poster Most negative poster Most annoying poster Worst Avatar Least Intelligent Poster Aussie of the Year Most Optimistic Poster
my suggestion is that there are 2 many.... I think it should be Rookie of the Year Biggest Jets Fan Best Jets Poster Friendliest poster Best signatures Best non-Jets Fan Poster The best thread of the year Best Female Poster Aussie of the Year
Maybe we should have like a Most Memorable Troll Award because we have had some fun ones over the years. I also put in for Most Bipolar Poster
I think maybe we should do a mid year award, most of these award are given to the people who post here at the end of the year where they are fresher n the memory banks, and all the posts who warrent attention earlier in the year gets forgotten
I kept my gender under wraps for months. I question the wisdom of coming clean sometimes. Water under the bridge. Water under my shorts? Whatever. That being said, I'm with my girl PF on this one. Do without the Best Female Poster. When I won I said, "Gee, is this like Winning Best Male Quilter?" And all these voting things, I think I've been pretty vocal about my take over them being akin to being the last kid picked for kickball, which is why I almost always abstain. It's brutal. Not to be unappreciative, but the Best Female Poster Award does seem like a mercy prize or sexist on some subconscious level. Like mainstreaming the slow kid in school. Like the girl with the biggest knockers. Like look at the guy without legs riding a bike or something. With his arms. Fancy that. Like that. OK, I'm on no sleep here.
I think we should do away with Biggest Jets Fan. It?s a completely subjective thing and we?re all pretty big Jet fans to be spending so much time on the internet talking about our team. Plus no one really knows each other that well on here (most people at least). There might be some posters who are completely batshit insane over the Jets and take fandom to a whole new level and we would have no idea.
