Scott Posted December 28, 2016 Share Posted December 28, 2016 After a review of the vote results, there have been a total of 39 illegal votes. These include, but are not limited to, returned banned members and duplicate accounts. These have been removed from the totals so, the results are: Transam: 105 - 28 = 77 Naam: 94 - 11 = 83 So the winner is for Poster of the Year is: Naam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only 160 of the huge membership of Thaivisa could actually be bother voting! Over recent years, since the concept has been revived, the thing has gone from silly to nasty and treacherous. It has reached new lows this year. With the incredibly low turnout, the cheating, the egotistical hysteria of some posters, the abuse of animals, the desperation and disappointing change of personality in some members who were once admired, and the plain tackiness of the whole thing, it may be a good time to discontinue the farce. At the very least move it back to the Pub where most of the participants spend their time pissing in each others pockets. Even any entertainment value, sometimes gained by those of us on the sidelines, was ruined by several idiots who just kept posting meaningless drivel every few minutes. The music wasn't bad.

Interestingly there were 46 pages of comments on another thread here re POTY yet there were only 160 eligible votes registered. Somehow I think not many of us take this 'popularity' contest too seriously. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are a lot of valuable contributors here at ThaiVisa, who share their knowledge in a great variety of areas. I think of the POTY contest as separating the wheat from the chaff.

My only gripe here is that lobbying was being done over on the Pattaya branch with a thread titled "Please consider supporting 'Pattayas own Naam' on POTY 2016'.

I think that should be a prerequisite. Anyhow, this is Naam's hour and I'm sure we all congratulate him on his much deserved recognition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chiang mai Posted December 28, 2016 Share Posted December 28, 2016 Congratulations naam, you are indeed a worthy winner of the title. I have to say I'm still confused and unsure about events that got us to this place, who why how etc, I had one picture in my mind which now seems to have been at least partially incorrect - never mind, a well deserved win.
