Discussion on Forum Awards

As stated in that other thread, Forums Awards will be happening slightly earlier this year. We're trying to make it actually apply to a calendar year, rather than the March-March pattern that had been occurring.

We want input from members on the topics nominated. Obviously some awards are more serious than others; they should be judged in the right spirit. Feel free to suggest new award or whether old ones should be changed/removed entirely.

I anticipate that certain members will attempt to quickly devolve this thread in to in-jokes and stupid suggestions. This will very quickly be met with infractions. Do not test me.

The current list of awards are as follows:

The Categories



Best Thread Creator

Best Blogger

Greatest Debator

Fan Corner Suite
Best Oddworld Writer

Best Oddworld Artist

Best Role-Player

Best Non-Oddworld Writer

Best Non-Oddworld Artist

Funniest Poster

Most Unintentionally Funny Poster

Most Meaningful Poster

Most Underated Poster

Best Advice Giver

Member with the Greatest Oddworld Knowledge

Best New Comer

Best Old Dude

Dearly Missed Member

Most Liked

Most Eccentric

Most Annoying

Best Couple

Best Photo

Best Avatar

Most Dedicated Member

Best Staff Member

Member Who’d Make a Good Moderator

Most Likely to Still Be Here in 20 Years

The Oddworld Forums Unofficial Mascot

Most Valuable Poster (MVP)

This isn't for voting, right? Just suggestions?

Oooh, how about "Best blogger"?

Or "Best Member who Returned"?

...

How about just "Best Member"?

there's a few to throw out there.

with the 'hardest working' one, i was thinking about the fan games and such that have been rapidly rising in numbers in FC, along with the Oddworld MMORPG, which a few members have helped out on. they don't really fit under any of the FC awards currently up there.

Somehow I think there's a reason the best blogger award was removed.
Note: Joe and Ghost are omitted from this award by default.

You wait until we call the award nomination period and post in that thread.

I remind all members that if you want to suggest an award, please think about the likelihood of us actually including it. We're never going to add 'Angriest Member' or 'Most Abused Member' to the list as they are both rude and unfunny. Rude and funny are fine, as long as you have both.
