I knew I had fun this year, lamely enough with my antics in #eoff. Probably the one time I'm in there enough to count.

It'd be interesting to do away with the nomination process completely, but if you look at it, you realize if a person is not going to make the cut in nominations, how are they going to do any better in the actual voting? If one person nominates BrooklynSquallHottie in the nomination process, BSH will only get one vote in the actual voting, so it's rather moot. I guess the idea behind it is so everyone can vote for who they really like, though?

And how would thread/forum specific awards work out? What the heck? I can see how a person might have the most stellar post ever (although they may only work in context and when taken out from their element, they may appear less than awesome), but thread and forum specific awards? How do you do that? Give the thread starter an award, maybe? But what if the actual starting post was nothing compared to the rest of the posts in the thread? Does everyone who post in that thread get a bit of that award? What about forums? I don't even get that one at all. Edit: Do you mean, like, Best Poster in GC, Best Female in General Square-Enix, and so on? Do you want these awards to take a week to do?!?

BoB, if you do that, consider a bot.
