The voting lines have now opened for Category 5: Most Sensible Poster. You can PM/email me with up to ten votes as to who you think is/are the most sensible poster(s). Remember to rank your nominees in order of preference if voting for more than one person so I know how many points to give them. The person for whom you give 1st place to will get 10 points, regardless of how many other people you vote for. Remember you cannot vote for yourself.

I will publish periodic league tables in this thread to give everyone an idea of how things stand. A final league table will be posted on this thread when the voting lines close at 2130 BST on Sunday 9th August, when the winner will be announced depending on who's top of the league table at the end of the week. The voting lines will also open for the next category - Best Signature.

For more details on the awards, see the main awards thread.

EVERY year, i try and get my votes in first, and EVERY time barry gets there first!

ner-ner-na-ner-ner

Barry is such a swot - ignore him

Because that is a very sensible thing to do. And I know secretly that you want to win this award h_c...

*rofl* at the idea of hc winning this award - or barry for that matter

Oh I don't know...at least...ooo...4 of my 17,000-odd posts have been sensible...

Children, never play with matches.

I think it's gone too far for you to pretend to be sensible now

winning Barry ??

Darn it!

He's already won sbhoa, isn't one forumite enough for him?

Oops - didn't word that one very well

*resolves to be very sensible....*

Well, that didn't last very long, did it...?

*resolves to try harder*

Longer than I thought it would!

*doesn't rise to it and puts on very sensible face*

Your face has no nose...how do you smell??

*Be sensible, DC*

Very bad, by all accounts.

Im not even going to pretend to be sensible

I'm having problems thinking of people to vote for...

*wonders if she could be considered sensible*

I think the Forums Cafe might be the wrong place to look We might have to be brave and widen our search to all the dark corners of the Forum, where people speak in solemn tones on serious matters I'm going on a Sensible Poster hunt but I might be gone some time .....

i still think there should be a category "most posts in the forum's cafe and therefore also destined to get the most votes" anyway ...

*whistles* *thinksaboutitandratherducks*

I'd be surprised if you weren't in the running - in the forums outside the Café at least, you come across as informative, helpful and sensible

I'm not sensible

Confutatis, sensible?

Why be sensible when you can encourage your friends to sing karaoke, that's what I say Babybird2...

My thoughts exactly

I got votes for being humourous, but have yet to be considered sensible?!

Darn thingamy for ressurecting that lightbulb thread. Ruined my reputation forever!



Still, I agree that most people voted for so far, are indeed relatively sensible. Compared to most of the... people who post in the cafe lots (I nearly typed Cafe Crew, before my fingers froze over the keys).

Sounds like it's a bit too much along the lines of "Groovy Gang", doesn't it?

Seems not Oh well.

I don't know if I'm sensible or not.... probably the latter.

Yay for having no votes! I'm so freakin' not sensible, you see...

Yeh, you really live on the edge don't you Matthew...

Thanks for my votes!

No votes + boring life + humiliation = so happy!

or the Banana Bunch

Are you sure (when referring to us lot) that shouldn't the the bananas bunch?



Oh darn, I forgot we're all supposed to be being sensible now...!

Sorry!
(You know I love like you really)
(*is scared of Fiona* )

You'd better be! I'm sensible, I'll have you know!

Sometimes Fiona's sensibility can get stuck in the closing doors of train carriages!

At least I can remember hotel room numbers for more than about 20 seconds.

I know

I got a vote? Wow this place really is going to héll in a handcart!

That's definitely not good for your Resident Spammer position

Apart from my jokes(!) which were a feeble attempt at scoring in the Most Humorous Poster category,I am quite sensible. Honest!
