ThaiVisa Poster of the Year 2014 Vote Now!

[daveAustin]

I voted AnotherOneAmerican out of that lot, but close with UG. Some decent niks but also a few suspect ones . As already mentioned, Sheryl is probably TV's most invaluable member and I'd vote for her in a second.

[NancyL]

Wow, what a surprise to find my name on the list. Am I the only woman? What were the criteria for nomination? I suppose mods can't be nominated, because Sheryl contributes way more than I do.

Some of my British friends have commented that it's a shame I can't be awarded a MBE for the welfare work I do here in Thailand to assist British nationals, but winning this award would be way more of an honor. (How's that for being tongue in cheek?)

Does this mean that members who are nominated are immune from ever getting banned from Thai Visa? Here I figured I'd log onto Thai Visa and find I was banned for something I posted, not nominated for Poster of the Year.

Give it time Nancy

[thhMan]

I vote for Balo's dog too !

[NancyL]

Oh, I just wandered into the ThaiVisa "pub" and see that's where you did the nominations. I'll go back and see how that unfurled. Then I need to go into the CM forum and do a little campaigning, I suppose.

Bit late for that, JT covered the entire continent already!

Now ... an 'entire continent' might be a bit of a stretch ... however, there does seem to be some local commitment.

Those local will know this famous mark ... now infamous!

Would assume that JT is penning his acceptance piece as we speak.

Vote 1 for JT

[mrtoad]

Will be intetesting to see who has captured The Digital "Do as You Likey" electorate.

[benalibina]

A total votecount of 47 while, 61 members have voted.....odd...

My money is on David48 (48 is the number of times he's already held this title)

Nancy L is my choice.

A font of good information in Chiang Mai, advice, and she does a lot to help people in distress.

A mention must go to Sheryl the moderator on the Health Forum, she has helped so many people with their health issues

I like both of them, but nether one has ever been slugged by a baht bus driver in Pattaya. 2014 is Jingthing's year!

Thank you for the support.

[mrtoad]

UG endorses JT. That's a massive moment for JTs campaign

[geronimo]

Costas is coming from behind (again)

He has it in the bag this year.

[mrtoad]

re, how did I get nominated??

I'm supporting Jingthing

[geronimo]

Costas is slowly pulling ahead, early days yet though. Guess he got the undecided vote.

Mate, the difference (14 votes) is the number of people who have recorded a 'Null Vote' ... meaning basically they just wanted to have a look, but not vote. It looks neferous, but in reality, it's not.

I learnt that lesson last year.

What I am encouraged by is that apparently Thai Visa does have new software which records the the equivalent of the computer or machine number so that multiple accounts can be easily weeded out. Members do risk being banned over that.

But, in the end, it's a bit of fun.

It's a nice accolade to receive, but I feel a little sorry for those who actively chase it.

In other news, ThaiVisa Admin announced a huge spike in new member sign-ups.

[asdecas]

Who chose these people in the first place? Why was I not included?

come on Dave. You been chasing this for over one month now! Like US Presidential campaign with all your topic and postings.

[bangon04]

Why not just publish the number of "Likes" awarded to the top 10 posters. Just as valid if not more valid than the above selection....

If you had been nominated, I'd have voted for you. Sorry, but now money is on Jinghting, only a massive scandal can derail his quest for the ultimate honour.
