 |
|
Hello,
It is nearly time again for the KarateForums.com Awards. For those who don't know, the KarateForums.com Awards are like the Emmys or the Grammys or whatever, except that they are for this community. This will be our fourth time doing them and you can view the past winners at the links below:
http://www.karateforums.com/awards.php
Last year, we had 7 award categories. They were:
| Quote: |
1. Member of the Year
This award is intended to acknowledge the person who you view as most valuable to the community as a whole. Current staff members (Sempais, Senseis and Administrator) are not able to be nominated in this award.
2. Community Spirit Award
New this year. This award should go to a person whom you feel posts interesting and insightful comments that exemplify the spirit of KarateForums.com - kind, helpful and encouraging. This award is open to anyone, regardless of their skill level. Regular members and staff members (except for the Administrator) can win this award.
3. Staff Member of the Year
Basically, the same as Member of the Year, except that this award is for current staff members (Sempais and Senseis, not Administrator) only, if you are unsure of who is on staff, please visit http://www.karateforums.com/staff.php for a complete listing.
4. Funniest Member of the Year
Humor is an important aspect of the forums and this award recognizes the member who has brought a smile to your face many times. This person should have a good clean sense of humor and can be either a staff member (except for Administrator) or regular member.
5. Thread of the Year
This award distinguishes your favorite thread from all the others. This thread may have helped you out, taught you something new or just had a great discussion in it. It should be martial arts related and has to have been created between the dates listed above.
6. Article of the Year
This award distinguishes your favorite article that was published in the KarateForums.com Articles section in the past year (it must have been published in the past year). Whether the article enlightened or inspired you, this is the place to recognize it. Visit our articles section at http://www.karateforums.com/viewforum.php?f=44 for a complete list of articles.
7. Funniest Thread of the Year
This final award distinguishes this thread as the funniest one of the year. This thread should have made you laugh till you were blue in the face. This thread must exhibit good, clean humor. |
So, now, as we're a little more than a week away from nominations beginning, I just wanted to put a call out to see if anyone had any suggestions for new categories or anything for the awards in general. Please let me know.
Thanks for reading.

Funniest thread could probably go, but I'd vote on my favorite article.

Hey milkman, I think that numbers 5 and 7 were the ones that we were thinking of eliminating. Article of the year will remain on the ballot as for now. Thanks for your response. Any other ideas you may have would be welcome as well.

That makes a lot more sense to me. No further suggestions!
