GTP Awards® 2006!

[Sharky.]

there are a few places where there are very few people who are in here.

Like New Zealand!

 

[Dave A]

I think that would create too many categories, it's a nice idea but there's probably going to be a lot more countries people are from than you originally anticipate. There's a lso a lot of members who haven't disclosed thier location, so they would be excluded.

 

[Lee]

But the winner would be excluded, by way of being noticed by getting an award...

Damn you man, damn you!

What about a award that goes to a member who has improved significantly after having their first account banned?

 

[Keef]

That would be very close to the Turnaround Award, which could include people that haven't been banned.

 

[Leonidae]

Unsung Hero of GTP Award - Perhaps given to the one person who contributes greatly but is rarely noticed?

that would be Greycap.💡

 

[OZZYGT]

I second that.









Ciao!

 

[Slicks]

Changed my previous banner a bit...

Winter theme.
Now, if only I could get ahold of Jordan's Christmas lights...

 

[Thiele]

Now THAT is a VERY interesting one. Competition would be pretty hot between the British and the Americans, but there are a few places where there are very few people who are in here.

yeah, i think 90% of the people here are from the UK or US, most of the rest are from Australia, New Zealand, and other countries, but a good idea

That is good. You are just missing the "®" after "awards".


Some really good suggestions in here (and some not so good ones! ) I think leave this thread a while to gather some more information. The Categories will go up and voting will begin on Friday.

 

[TB]

Clicky for lights in full effect.

Or if you'd prefer just the lights, try this one.

 

[Slicks]

It would then appear that I have some more work to do...

Thanks, TB.

Edit - Didn't take too long.

 

[TB]

No problem. That's what I'm here for.

 

[Duke]

Not if you make it the Previously-unsung Hero Award, Mr Smarty Pants.

 

[Danny]

How about most consistent eloquent use of grammar?

Or maybe an a-z of members with people voting for their favourite poster whos username begins with that letter?

I'm thinking a Duke-danoff-daan face-off.

If it wasn't for TM...

Seriously though, I think would be a few too many awards. If everyone has one it starts to loose its effect.

 

[Dave A]

Might make for an interesting non awards based thread, but yeah it'd be too many awards for this.

 

[DQuaN]

I'm thinking a Duke-danoff-daan face-off.

No DQ?

We can't do by letter of name, or by country. There would be way too many awards. I'm thinking 10-12. (Roughly)

 

[Danny]

Best member to have ridden the mighty moon worm.

 

[daan]

I'm thinking a Duke-danoff-daan face-off.

And DQ. And Der Alta. And Donbenni. And...

Hows about having 2 awards in each category? The 2nd award would be for those people who don't post in bold indigo.

 

[Dave A]

Best member who's name doesn't mean "extreme and general scarcity of food" and I think we're covered .

That all sounds good, even the unlikely ones. We gotta spice up the award fest somehow...

 

[TopHat]

When are the Darwin Awards?

I think most likely to be crowned a moderator is a good one. 👍

 

[Omnis]

How about: Most likely to have the biggest garage?

Sorry if that sounds too high school. I'm not used to superlatives.

 

[G.T]

I think all the Unlikelys except the "most likely to get a lock thread" ones should be still kept. I agree with what was said earlier about keeping it positive and not negative.

 

[Danny]

How about the most delightfully eccentric?

 

[Evolution.]

How about Most Lovable Member?

You know, the guy/girl that could impregnate/be impregnated by your mom/dad, throw insults at you that would make a sailor cry, and kick you in the reproductive organs, and you'd still +Rep him/her at the end of the day.

Or, more simply, the guy/girl you just can't hate.

 

[TopHat]

Ummm.... lets see.....








No.

 

[Evolution.]

Last time I checked, you weren't the one making the decisions, Matt.
