so how about it ?

dont know if its every been done before, but i thought it might be quite a novel idea seeing as its nearing the end of the year.

could maybe have some nominations put forward or even sub - divide into categories where they would be put to a vote.

or just start here by nominating your favorite thread, classic contributions made by members throughout the year. worst troll, poster of the year, best mod , rookie of the year and so on.

a bit like our very own oscars ceremony.

what ya think ?

Talking of Avatars, I never realised how much Hoss looked like a Predator

Something similar was done years ago with mixed reactions.

There's nothing new under the sun, nor on Thaivisa.

(I think I won biggest cynic)

I think I am the newest. So please be gentle on me!

Should we have a poll to find out what jingthing is nominated for?

Hope they have one for " playdumb " otherwise I won't be awarded anything.

Please don't mention the red thingy's eh.

You mean to say jingthing should not receive an award for killing the greenies?

Doh!

Give it a rest!

Best posters are always banned, that puts pay to the best poster award.

Biggest liar award would be the most difficult to award, there are just too many contenders.

If there were an award for 'Most Unflappable Poster', I'd give it to Buchholz.

I find his/her ability to produce calm language whilst dealing with emotive issues in the face of intense criticism quite unnerving.

Good going, buddy!

Well he has alot of experience under his posting belt.

So could we ask the "House" if they'd help us out with this?

Perhaps set up a temporary sub-forum for it? or should we just have each forum run their own threads for nominations with a cut off date of say 16th Dec and then create one massive poll with all the votes visible on the one thread or would we need a thread for each catagory?

Tech assistance will be an award category...hint hint...

"Klingon of the year award"...................there can only be 1 entry and winner surely????? unless the dogs Klingon too???

Hi Old Croc,

I also won in the Photo section a couple of times 2006-7 or so I think

The Colonel an Amateur Photographer

Kanchanaburi Win

Transams' right.

There are too many on here who will take it personally and throw a strop if they don;t get mentioned or feel left out. Bitch fights will start and the whole thing will degenerate into a cock waving match.

Some will probably even be sad enough to open up duplicate accounts to nominate themselves, and even if that didn't happen the accusations will still be flying. Unfortunately there are too many who take internet forums, and themselves, way too seriously.

Oh....

And I nominate myself as the best poster in the history of the internet. Anything less and it will definitely be a fix!

Here are the nominees in the category

"Posters who fekin refused to admit they were wrong but eventually came to their senses and simply said 'I was wrong", or 'I dont know', or 'eeehhhh, perhaps my gardener doesn't have a freakin <deleted> to do with the price of a brand new BMW in Thailand, I stand corrected".

Nominees:

1.

2.

3.

4.

5.

I will accept votes on these fine posters until midnight 31/12. One post per member only, thanks.

That's pretty well what happened last time from memory.

What was started as a bit of fun brought out all the jealous, bitchy, cliquey posters.

I do recall TV management used to have a poster of the year award for a year or two.

Whoever they picked, there were always many who vehemently disagreed.

Will there be a category for 'Longest running vendetta"?

So could we ask the "House" if they'd help us out with this?

The voting system should be modelled along the lines of the FIFA world cup venue selection process.

But we may have to send out to manila for more brown envelopes.

Will there be a category for 'Longest running vendetta"?

Probably not, but why not consider "The posters who refuses to admit being wrong and opted to run away like a little girl wearing a pair of Hello-Kitty panties, thinking everyone will forget about the sad fact that they're full of it and doesn't have the balls to admit it!"?

I could nominee a couple....

Correct. On a forum if you said coal is black, for sure some one would come on and say no it's not it's purple, end of story.

Brown coal, lignite, and othet types of coal are different colours :lol:

Actually how about an award for which forum member resembles which Queen band member the closest?

Shame, I thought this idea had mileage too... Guess the naysayers take another scalp
