Should all POTY winners have that indicated in their left side of page member summary and if so in what way?

[Jingthing]

I started this thread with all sincerity.

I actually do think the forum software people should design a PERMANENT MARK signifying POTY WINNER for all POTY winner ever. Myself included. Leaving it optional for POTY WINNERS to indicate that with text or graphics is in my view very weak. 

 

I did suggest a flashing pink POTY tiara. Not in the avatar! Separate. 

 

I could be many other things. 

 

For example automatic NINE DOTS.

 

It should not override the members power to edit their own Member description text.

 

Obviously any PERMANENT POTY MARKER would be limited by the forum management's interest in doing this and also any limitations of the software depending on what that mark should be. 

 

If I haven't been clear enough.

 

The very same permanent POTY WINNER marker for all POTY winners.

I dare the new P.O.T.Y. to post an honest photo,and Rooster do an interview.

I don't think Rooster is into this stuff. Interviewing a Farang wearing a mini-skirt is not likely to catch his fancy.

Last time I looked, which was a few days prior to the deadline less than 300 had voted, I doubt that it climbed above 300, how many members are there ? That's gotta tell you something, knock it on the head is what I would reccomend, and before I get admonished by anyone, yes I did vote, it's gone past its sell by date, drop it.

Maybe getting awarded with a permanent POTY WINNER mark will serve to highlight the fabulousness of the POTY experience and serve to juice up the interest at contest time.

[Andrew Dwyer]

If POTY winners are to have a permanent marker of their success then all the other contestants should also have a permanent marker to make other posters aware of their achievement at POTY.

 

 

 

I have adjusted mine accordingly !!

The annual POTY contest functions a the "great seperator". Separating the Farangs with "too much time on their hands" from the ones that don't.

I suppose, "having fun in Thailand and living life to it's fullest" is in the eye of the beholder.

[sipi]

I don't see many other threads that attract 300 posters.

[sipi]

I can't find it but one of the POTY threads had over 110 thousand views in a week or so.

From what I can see nothing comes close.

Even the worm thread and country living threads only managed a few thousand each.

Players, it's OVER for another year, get it? Get over it! If you can't cope, I can recommend counselling for you!

Please look at my profile. I do tvf 2 weeks of the year. The other 50 weeks I've got better things to do.

But I would be interested in hearing which councillor you go to.

They need a special hat for anyone with more than 10000 posts.

Why not instead hand out 3 vouchers for  sloopy-soapy-happy-end sessions in Bangkok instead ? My ego down below would be very much be satisfied with that ????

 I don't think it would be too much to ask to grant a ninth dot, and if it was gold that would be a nice touch.

You already have 9 dots. Eight in a row and I see another one on top of your head. Or is that where you were hit with a 9 iron?

Poty has always had around that number of voters, so I would assume the 300 were having a bit of fun..

 

Now if you don't like a bit of POTY fun at Christmas then stay away....It is very easy to stay away ya no...

 

But on the other hand, you maybe one of those miserable blokes who don't like anyfink, I know a few....????

I assume that the number of hard-core regulars is under a thousand. It is not too strange that we only had 300 voters.

A lot of posters like to go out of their way to complain about something they don’t like, I really don’t get it !!

 

An example:

I don’t like jazz music.

Perhaps I should find a jazz music festival, go there and stand up booing and shouting “ I don’t like this !! “ ????

 

Yeh i know, freedom of speech an all that !!

But it’s the same tired old posters returning to the thread to complain about POTY when they could just scroll on by !!

Absolutely, and to be honest I wasn't too interested in POTY until one year my name was nominated, and I was getting a lot of votes, then my interest grew.....Weeell, had never been famous before, except for my singing.

If my gray cells are correct, I recall Sipi nominating me one year....????

I gave you a like, but I also want to boo,  for you not liking jazz. ????

The noodle, plastic bag, whitening cream and lots of other threads do nothing for me.

I should tell the whole world over and over and over and over again.

And I was one of those who voted at every stage, and in previous years I also voted for you and Colin, so your assumption that I'm a grumpy old sod who don't like a bit of fun goes for a ball of chalk.

Yeeeeees, and there should be a "Boring Topic", where blokes can go and be boring, a Monty Python sort of thing, ideal for anti-poty folk.........????

You recognised the Colin and myself were a class act, well done. Talking about a "class act", has Yinn been seen anywhere on here...?       

My monitor has gone for repair, this spare laptop is not ideal for me to go searching...

I think she is taking a break from the role for a week. Being Yinn is hard work.

She’s taken a week off according to her campaign team, travelling the world to thank her voters.

In her victory speech post, she failed to even mention me and my pivotal role as her unwanted unofficial campaign manager. But I will still take full credit for putting her over the top!

Yes your late support for NCC certainly done the trick.
 

Might have been due Golden Flower comment.......just a guess. 
 

Im sure her Uncle Max, Danny et al could shine a light.
