Here are your top five nominees for Category 6: - the Most Enjoyable Thread Award. Again, they are in no particular order. Voting for this category will close at Sunday midnight BST, and I will announce the winner and publish the final vote count. Any votes received after that will not be counted.

Have fun voting! biggrin.gif

Ooh, I was really surprised to see that one of the threads I started has been nominated! Thanks very much, whoever nominated it! smile.gif

Ditto! I was thinking too narrowly, of threads that were entertaining in themselves. I can see why the Grade 1 challenge is enjoyable in the wider sense, though. smile.gif

As for "This is a test" getting nominated, I'm gobsmacked at that! Especially as it took me three attempts to get it closed......

Too bad I wasn't around to pm you to remind you to vote, noodle!

Not bad, katyjay! It's like the thread you tried least to win an award for! laugh.gif If only it were that easy for some! biggrin.gif

O'er, I better think of who to vote for in the most cheerful posters category before I miss the dateline! blink.gif happy.gif

We tried (to follow CM's instructions) several times but failed. sad.gif sad.gif Apparently, it's not easy when one does not have a separate e-mail add and hubby won't hear of giving a kid an independent e-mail add of her own. His colleagues think it's a bad idea, too.

Independent email is fine if you know how to hack the password and read the messages without yon child finding out wink.gif

You could have an email address on her behalf, which she does not have control of, and to which only you know the password.

Is anyone else now sad that benjaminja's thread wasn't made early enough to get into the poll? I'd've voted for it. Conversations in shakespeareish are fun smile.gif
nicki_flute
You can have parental controls on AOL too - can that affect email addresses too?

Why??? If everything that went off topic got deleted there would not be much left unsure.gif
sarah-flute
I can't imagine why sad.gif

Well it certainly seems to have gone to me. I would like to know why...seems no reason to me unless it went very naughty at the end and I didn't see it.

I will mail the mods and ask why it is no longer around. They should give a reason - this is not Big Brother.

(If I turn out to be wrong on this last point, I will evict myself).
