I think I said in another thread that people would interpret things differently, so its really up to you. If the "most helpful" person was only helpful to you through PM its still valid to vote for them,i would say - but I'm not going to specify silly rules, vote for who you think fits the catagory best.

Or.... can you vote for someone that is a forumite, but who has "helped" you out during a class...

This for me, i think, is maybe too far - BUT if you feel you only know them because of the forum and they have helped you then by all means vote for them. Just remember it IS the "forum" awards.

I will collate all the results as I get them so no deadline is really needed. I will even check on the Saturday morning of the BFG to see if there are any extra votes coming in....i cant imagine there would be many that do this (thats not a reason to go do it )

Bear in mind we dont expect anyone to have read ALL of the forum - if no names spring to mind for a catagory don't get stressed about HAVING to put a vote in .

Can you only vote for posts/threads made in the last year??????

I dont know what Francks feeling is on this but I would have thought for the majority of voters this is not an issue - votes will tend to come in (and have) based on fairly recent posts so, not unlike the Oscars, posts in the last few months are bound to get more votes.

Also - this really ISN'T the Oscars , its a fun addition to the B.F.G, yu don't need to ask anyone for permisson to vote for what you want to vote for .
