The Awards are back in a new format!


They will happen every 3 months (i.e. quarterly). We will have a month for nominations, and a month for voting, before we announce the winners.

As discussed previously in this thread: http://www.tfproject.org/tfp/general...ds-update.html
________________________________


During November, we will be asking you for your help in nominating TFP members for the following Tilted Awards:

Tilted Host/Hostess - Given for excellence in welcoming new members to the community.

Tilted Presenter - Given for excellence in creating interesting and original content.

Tilted Mentor - Given for excellence in providing credible advice for those in need.

Tilted Natural - Given for excellence in becoming a valuable member of the community in such a short time.

Tilted Samaritan - Given for excellence in helping the moderators keep the board clean.

New Award: Tilted Sweetheart - Given to the TFP's very own girl/guy next door we all can't help but love

Tilted Employee of the Trimester (Sep-Nov)- Given for excellence in moderating the boards.

Tilted Post of the Trimester (Sep-Nov) - Given to the best individual post by a member; could be the funniest, the wittiest, the sharpest, the most insightful, the most poignant. It's your pick.



You can suggest as many nominees as you like, but we recommend you nominate no more than 3 or 4 maximum per award. Otherwise results will be very dispersed and difficult to make conclusions from.

Mods will also be allowed to suggest nominees. But remember - you can't nominate mods, except of course for the employee award.

At the end of November, we will tally up nominations and put up voting polls during December for 3-4 members in each Award category.

The awards will be announced in early January. We've decided January 2nd because the 1st is a busy day for most people!

We hope you'll participate in showing your appreciation for those members you are especially fond of!


This is not a popularity contest. We are all adults here. What we want is to involve the TFP community in a group event where we all show some love!

Happy nominating!

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.

by post in the thread, the idea is to eliminate the need for PMs to vote, hopefully making the process simpler.

-+-{Important TFP Staff Message}-+- After thinking this over a while, the staff has decided it's best to put the Tilted Awards on hold for the time being. The response to the awards in our last attempt to start them up again was practically non-existent, so we have taken that as a sign that it's best to put them on a back burner. I'm sure some of you were interested, but since this has to involve a good number of members to be worth organizing, we think it's best for now to scrap the awards. They may turn up at a later date, we'll have to see. Thank you for participating in previous editions and be sure that you are still appreciated, with or without awards!
