Will they ever happen?
The last one was so much fun, and it's almost the end of the year... So I thought I'd make a poll. The problem is, there aren't that many people active anymore and I wonder who would have the energy to "host" it?

Y'want it?

[Unplugged]

Well OF COURSE!

And I want some new categories

[QueenBee]

staringelf, well if we decide to have it, there will be new categories of course... We just have to fix them, hehe!

True, true

I'd really like to add a new category called Good Sport Award, cause I know of somebody who really deserved it this year!

[crni]

yeah, it'd be fun!

[freddie]

Yeah, sure. I'd lobby to get Echoed the most attractive member award. (Eventhough she's not active on the forum anymore)

[Kate]

Already? Lol. It seems like it's only been a short while since we finished with the last awards.

But yeah, it'd be fun!

-->Shamless advertising<--

VOTE FOR ME AT THE HOTTIES AWARDS.

*cough*

[forre]

Yeh, why not.

[Mossopp]

Yeah, I think we should have another awards ceremony.
Now there are less regulars I might actually have a chance of winning something this time!

[kishkash]

That wouldn't be entirely fair.
I do think however that there should be some rule defining eligibility. For example: a member cannot be nominated if he/she hasn't posted in the last 6 months.

I totally agree! So stop thinking about voting for Echoed, Freds! She's not here anymore. Dot.

Anyway, shouldn't we start the nomination process? I mean, we gotta start figuring out what categories should remain unchanged, what new categories should be created, and then start voting on nominees for each category, just like last time, and then the most voted get nominated!

If we had the nomination process done by the end of the December, we could start voting in the beginning of January.

What do you think?

What do you think?

Yeah, I'd say that sounds pretty good.
Who's organising all this BTW? Who's in the 'Awards Committee'?
And who voted "No" on the poll? Speak now, traitor!

Personally i would be even stricter, i would say no nomination if the person hasn't posted in the last 30 days. If someone doesn't even post *once* a month, i can't see how they could be nominated, this is not the "Tatysite.net Lurkers Awards".

Yeah! But then it's like... we'll be voting for the Tatysite 2004 Awards, in 2005! But there's no other choice really, we're too late anyway. Weren't the last awards in November? Or am I totally crazy here?

I nominate Miguel, haku and Queenie.

Yeah, I nominate myself and haku and Queenie too

AAAAWWW *Wipes a tear* I feel so loved Do I sense a group hug coming up?

I agree, 6 months is still a pretty long time. I can understand if someone is away on vacation or whatever - but I don't think anyone of the active users is.

Okay now let's figure out how we're gonna set this up!

I agree, too. It's only fair. But I'd make an exception of Rachel. Even though she came back to the forum only a short while ago, she managed to do so many nice things and contribute so much that I didn't have nearly enough time to keep up with giving the reputation points to her. Lol.
