Anybody remember this thread?

http://www.tfproject.org/tfp/showthread.php?t=130115

We're sorry for the long delay in getting this boat in the water. But, you know, it called for us to stop smoking pot and watching '70s porn in the breakroom, and dammit, it's really hard to pull yourself away from that scene sometimes. Some of you may understand.

But anyway, we are ready to officially accept nominations. And we would like to start from scratch with private nominations.

Here are the categories:

You may place your votes by PM'ing me directly with your nominations.
Do not vote on this thread!!
I have cleared my mailbox for this very purpose!

Nominations on the original thread will not be counted, so be sure to vote again even if you already placed your votes there.

If you have any questions about how this is going to work, feel free to message me or any of the other mods, or you may post your question on this thread.

Deadline for nominations will be Friday, June 27th.

Remember! Vote early, vote often! just kidding...just vote.

blahblah454

What color is your background? I have the same standard green that I have had for 4 years, I like to call if TFP green

mixedmedia

I use the TFP Green as well.

jorgelito - try changing your scheme in the lower left hand corner and you can see the colored text very clearly. I'd hate to make it red or something. That would just be obnoxious...

at some point, I just need to accept that I can not make everyone happy...

...when that point is, I'm not sure, but I'll know it when I get there.

It may involve firearms.

You know it's funny. My name is Will, I'm relatively tall, have brown hair, i'm athletic, play the trombone, have an overbearing father, and had a rather serious relationship with a dark haired beauty. I might as well grow a beard and call myself Riker.

blahblah454

Will, You do know that he was gay right?

I voted before the bump request...but here it is

Whether we write or speak or do but look

Cannot be transfused into word or book.
Our soul from us is infinitely far.
However much we give our thoughts the will
To be our soul and gesture it abroad,
Our hearts are incommunicable still.
In what we show ourselves we are ignored.
The abyss from soul to soul cannot be bridged
By any skill of thought or trick of seeming.
Unto our very selves we are abridged
When we would utter to our thought our being.
We are our dreams of ourselves, souls by gleams,
And each to each other dreams of others' dreams.

Fernando Pessoa, 1918

Crack

nope... not gay at all...

Derwood

my inner (and outer) cynic says "Oh look, a big TFP popularity contest!" I could probably name you the winners before voting even starts

mixedmedia

Well voting has started, cough 'em up.

Maybe there's nothing extraordinarily significant about the distinctions. They seem pretty cut and dry. Maybe you're attaching a significance to them that offends you in some way, but I think you're pushing the drama quotient for no reason.

Redlemon

It may be too early to ask this question, but when next month rolls around...

...are previous winners eligible to win?
...or eligible to win in a separate category?
...if not, for how many months are you ineligible, or can you only win once in your lifetime?

Voted. Bump!

Derwood

i'm not sure what purpose they serve other than to elevate some posters above others

mixedmedia

Since the awards are, conceivably, to be doled out monthly the elevation isn't so great. For instance, there's very little chance I'm going to win one of these, but I don't feel anyone is elevated above me in the least. I don't really get the grief.

And Redlemon, I'm not sure how to answer those questions, yet, lol. I'll get back with you soon.

Halx

Derwood, I think it goes without saying that you won't win an award if you don't do something noticeably beneficial to the board. The tradeoff is that if you DO do something beneficial to the board, you also become popular. So to call this a popularity contest is missing the point. It is a "contest" between people who have become popular for being good for the board.
