Probably yes, no spam is better than spam - that's for sure...

This is a quick reminder in preparation for the next category:

The next category, to start tomorrow, is Best Signature, so (if you read this) please decide on a signature you are going to stick with throughout the week (unless in skylark's case for example where it has to be edited daily, or in any other important case). I'll be keeping a close eye on those signatures which receive votes wink.gif

Car Expert


Unlikely I will change it this week, but if my signature changes, it'll only be to add closing dates and suchlike.

I'm not going to win any awards for my signature though, let's face it! laugh.gif

Just a thought : would it not be a good idea for the best username award to go to the best new name of 2008/9, rather to an existing name? It was very nice to get best username of 2007/8, but it didn't feel quite right getting an award for a name I thought of in 2006... smile.gif

...it'd be the same people as you'd vote for in 'best newbie'. I think it'd be nice to reward an original, new idea from 2008/9.

But of course, the decision is yours CE smile.gif

This is unofficial, but I've chosen Tuesday 13th October, which is a week-and-a-half after the last category ends. I've also chosen this date so the ceremony doesn't clash with the England-Belarus football match on the Wednesday which undoubtedly quite a few people will probably want to watch, even if England already qualify by then smile.gif

I removed it as it didn't attract many votes last year, probably due to the fact people found it difficult to find threads to vote for.

excl.gif Awards Update - Best Newbie excl.gif


To make it fairer for those members who registered in July 2008, I have changed the eligibility starting date to determine those members who can be voted for based on last year's voting. Therefore members who have a member number higher than 34195 are eligible to receive votes.

Technically yes, you do count. In reality, you don't. You will be eligible to receive votes (seeing as DaisyChain had two chances to win this award with two different usernames), although it wouldn't be right to class you as a 'newbie' anyway...

some of these might appear on my list of votes.

How come Crotchety Mum got votes last year and so isn't eligible????? I joined on the same day didn't I and I am eligible unsure.gif ???
