(Or 2006, if you want to actually be talking about the year that's being covered by them)

 

So yeah, it's that time of year, when I half-arsedly prod you with sticks until you nominate people for things, then eventually, people win awards and everybody's happy.

 

So, what kind of awards do you want this year?

 

Last year, we had:

 

The somewhat inevitable Best Sig award for best sig.

 

The Matt Beale award for beehive development madskills.

 

The 2Gb tbh award for Most Helpful Poster.

 

The 'Rendle always wins "funniest poster" but I'm not bitter' award for the second funniest poster.

 

The "Ricky!!! eeee's not woorrrrrffff it!!!" award for feeding the troll when there's really no need!!!

 

The "Screw You Guys, I'm Going Home" award for the best flounce.

 

The "No, really, I'm really leaving this time" award for the worst flounce.

 

The "I miss Uncle Tony" award for returning member.

 

The "Best newcomer" award for best Loster.

 

The funniest or strangest thing to happen on teh forum this year award, for the funniest or strangest thing to happen on teh forum this year.

 

The "member who is clearly so dull that nobody really thinks twice about ever considering him for an award even though he has been around for so long he can remember the pre-delphi days" award.

So come on people, suggest which of those ^ awards you'd like to keep, give reasons for removing the ones you want to boot, and suggest completely new awards which will excite and arouse everyone!

The 'Best forumer to move to London in November' award.

Best Person with Ginger Hair who lives in Bournemouth :'S

Here's some old faves and new ideas:

Like teh Virgin Award for new member

Like a Sex Beam Engine Award for hottest poster over 47 (manthorp) (cake) (cheer)

I'd like to see the Werthers Original award for best forum oldie. Although how would you define that? Those over 40 perhaps?

 

Other than that, like those suggestions, especially some such as the worst photo award.

 

To elaborate on some of the less descriprive awards, I'll put forward these variations:

 

The Anne Widdecombe award for worst photo in Gallery

 

The Peter Kay award for funniest thread

 

The "This-award-is-not-available-because-it-has-flounced" award for best Flounce.

 

Can't think of owt for disturbing thread though :(

The Chris Cunningham Award for most disturbing thread?

How about the Dragon Porn award for most disturbing thread?

I like that.

"The "member who is clearly so dull that nobody really thinks twice about ever considering him for an award even though he has been around for so long he can remember the pre-delphi days" award."

/votes for self

Come on, you jug-eared, haggis munching, Godzilla-emulating freak, get these awards sorted. And no, Burns Night cuts no ice with me, young man.

On the basis that Godzilla had short arms, I cry "Wrong Mod!"

You are so asking for a slice of face-in-glue action.

WHY ARE WE WAITING, WHY-Y ARE WE WAITING..?

Because I've been running around like a blue-arsed fly with work, and then whatever happened that messed up the thread-readness happened, and then I totally forgot.

Give the job to Trig, I say.

The 'Virgin Galactic' award for most obscure tangent in a thread?

I'd like a Best American award, which will undoubtedly go to Isa, but I at least want to qualify.

Mind you, I'd nominate Lindy, just to piss her off.
