Good afternoon, dear fellow members. In the name of this year's awards committee I'd like to assure you that we are currently trying our best to make this year's awards an event that you will wholeheartedly enjoy. Look forward to it please.

Among other things, we have thought of a few new cathegories, and in fact, the purpose of this thread is to ask you for your opinion on one of the proposals.

More concretely, the awards is called (for now) forum of the year. We are thinking on the lines of people voting for the forum (game/open/software etc) that they visit most oftenly, or that they enjoy posting in the most. What we would ask is whether you think that it is a good idea, if it is a nice idea but you can suggest some improvements, or if you think that all in all its not worth it, please by all means tell us so.


If you have any question, suggestion or comentary feel free to comment here, or PM any of the members of the committee

Truly yours,

[Exodus]

i vote you add '-Man' back to your name!

 

[Proto]

Well... I guess I appreciate your meaningful (sic) contribution, or something like that ^_^;

I think it's a good way to read into the general public's tastes as far as the type of threads are concerned. I'd certainly like this feature better than and more informative to the the NGemu Enforcement Squad's (NGES ) assumptions, opinions and on-the-fly policies.


Btw..

In the name of this year's awards committee I'd like to assure you that we are currently trying our best to make this year's awards an event that you will wholeheartedly enjoy. Look forward to it! please?

This is how I read it. ;P~

It could be intressing as it would show which emulation people were the most intressed in... however if off-topic discussions wins... well I guess it wouldn't say that much

BTW can't we have a award for the worst admin? that'd be fun.

 

[Prafull]

Voted for Nice idea.
I think pcsx2 forum and open discussion will be much ahead of anything else.

 

[Vanit]

Well I must admit that I think this is a good idea now so you have my vote .

 

[ChankastRules]

Wait a sec?!!? This smells of foul play, Vanit... your name is included in the first post... it kind a makes it sound like you're supporting the idea in the first place....... it's kind of fishy to make a post like that

I think they prefer to stay away from degrading and potentially insulting polls.

Really? is that why we have had such a awards as nutter of the year ( well I guess that would be compliment to some, but still... ) ? , I think the community should have a chance to say something on the admin for once, and make them a little nervous.

I am part of the awards committee which is why I was listed in the first post. I sort of opposed the idea of forum of the year in our private discussions because I didn't understand what the point was of awarding a section. But upon hearing a further explanation of it I think its a good way to make people feel good in a broader aspect for contributing to something as a group rather than as an individual. So thats why I decided to give it my support now because I think its a good idea.

no every committee member supported the idea. i think :heh:

vote yes! :thewave:

 

[Samor]

committee? =P

err...ok.

 

[cloudvii]

Well, I'll vote for "Ok" as I've said before
Side note : Seems like hushy's the only one hating it so far :S

Offtopic : @Samor, Why aren't the keys under pacman pressed down? Is he weightless!!? ^^"

 

[hushypushy]

sigh, i think forum of the year is stupid, all you have to do is see which forum has the most posts in it, ok done, there doesnt even need to be a vote

 

[ArchIBaLD]

same thing goes for thread of the year, look at the number of the replyes and that's it right?

actually "forum of the year" award doesn't really asks you to look at the post count. when a user picks his favorite forum he should consider the users (helpful, flamers for example), the moderators, the forum in general (responsive or not) and many other things that he may consider. that's the basic guideline (well, that's how i look at it).

 

[cloudvii]

It's not about the more posts
Actually, if it was then we shouldn't choose the member of the year and just go for the member with the highest post count.

For example in open discussions, members can normaly post more than in game discussions, because the idea of that first one is so wide and contains big variety of choices. But that doesn't mean all ppl favors open over game discussions

actually, he is... almost

not really... like, I'd probably never vote for open discussion

 

[hushypushy]

you guys are missing my point, which is "what the crap is the point of forum of the year?" what does that mean? best forum? fine, i think PSX discussion is the best because i spend all my time there! thread of the year is different, you dont have to participate in it to actually like it. the thread im nominating for that is golden but usually (USUALLY) the forum you like the most is the one you post in the most. and since there are an assload of "regulars" in open discussion, i have a feeling it'll be a bit skewed.
