2008 Forum Awards: nominate extra categories here

One other thing guys: it would be helpful if people started seconding other people's nominations, so that we can get a sense of which ones actually have some support.
 
You realize that all the bitching around these awards has not only made a travesty of the whole institution, but it also defeats the whole purpose of them.

What's the purpose of having the awards if they are just a few of the ones most generic, and uninteresting to the majority of the forum's posters...where's the fun in that? Which really, isn't that the purpose - entertainment and fun?
 
I wasn't aware that we were trying to have objective awards.

And who made you the authority on what's stupid or not?
Well, if you want some kind of common sense here - then yeah, they should be somewhat objective.
I don't really need to be the authority, - they are just stupid.
 
every single possible message board award would be stupid but i think we can get over that

i nominate zeph for most pretentious and least likely to listen to metal within a year
 
Zephyrus, shut the fuck up already. You're annoying as all hell, especially recently. Having forum awards to begin with is fucking stupid and trivial, so having more categories so it could be more enjoyable for more people is not a big deal.

I'd have to agree with this. I don't care if I win awards, but I think it's fun to have them and I'd enjoy it if people thought I was good enough to win them. This is the Social forum, and part of being social means engaging in group activities as friends. Grow up already.

I'm for the Best Female Member award if there's also a Best Male Member award, and I support all of the serious suggestions in this thread so far aside from the one about facial hair.
