Uh-huh. In the same vein, I'd like to insist on the "Avatar designed by Minnie for someone called DJ" award. It's a must.

OK, seriously, why change the awards? Maybe add one or two on, but if it ain't broken...?

What about Gadget's suggestions?

Maybe a vote needs to be done on categories first?

I'm sure I suggested this before – is this thread going round in circles???

Re: BFG 2005: Awards

I think a lot of people found the 'Best first 10 posts' award difficult to nominate for - maybe it should be changed to 'best newcomer' and has to be awarded to someone who has joined the forum since the last BFG?

Also the 'biggest ****-up' was tricky - anything that means going back through pages and pages of threads isn't going to inspire people.

There are definitely a few from this thread that could be worthy additions/replacements...

Sorry, Lory, I knew you had already said this, but we need to give people time to vote, so we're going to have to sort out the categories sometimes soon - I was just emphasising the point you made.

Can I get the birthday one even though I'm not going to be there? Unfortunately family plans for my 21st (on the 21st) slightly obstruct a wee trip to bonny Scotland to meet all you guys...

Well thats all well and good, but the list of new catagories you suggested are frankly rubbish. So whaddya want eh eh?


Of course - All suggestions will be discussed and agreed/disagreed with by Franck at some point (for it is he).
