This forum should have member awards each month. I've seen another forum do it and it was quite successful.

Here's an example:

etc.

I mean, it's just an idea. Of course it will cause some fights, but that, my comrades, is a risk I'm willing to take. I like to watch a good old internet fight.
*punches in the face*
*punches in the balls*
*flies up in the sky and shoots balls of fire at him*
*gets military to bomb him*
*somehow survives and throws a house at him*
Entertainment at it's best!

Get him with the skyscraper! Come on! Kick his ass with the tank that you got out of nowhere! You can do it!

"Pull me up, then," he hinted.
"I think that might be sort of difficult," grunted Twoflower. "I don't actually think I can do it, in fact."
"What are you holding on to, then?"
"You."
"I mean besides me."
"What do you mean, besides you?" said Twoflower.

Indeed. No sane man can deny the excellence of Sheriff Benson. I am looking forward to your film.

Side Note: That particular picture was taken from my prefered (favorite) episode.

In fact, we have these. It's in the... Spring? I think we've already accomplished them for this year.

Thanks, I'm glad you like my stuff. I'd hug you if it weren't for this damn internet thing.

Oops. On track.

As for the awards - yes, we do have them, and they are indeed as fun as heck; you just can't let yourself get dissapointed. Don't expect anything and just have fun with it, that's the best way. But yes, very fun, very interactive; they always bring the forum tighter a bit, if you know what I mean.

Well, they're not advertised all year …round for the new members. Maybe I could add a suitable brief to the New Members sticky in GD.

Maybe I could get off OWF and do my homework.

Alas, it was a good idea, albeit if it had already been done a few months earlier.

However, one good thing to come out of this is that it is becoming more and more prevalent that we need to inform new members of certain topics. This is one of those topics. They don't seem to read the threads we put up (most of the time), so I'm wondering whether informing them through the email activation is a better solution.

Wow... two people think I'm the most knowledgable. I always admired Max and his amazingly photographic memory in that area. I usually have to go look things up.

I agree with Alcar, we should make more use of that email feature. Now that we've used it once, we can go and erm ... spam everyone about OWF again.

Be sure to put a snazzy title such as "Pen15 Growth" to make sure they open it.

Ooooo, tough luck. I had thirty short pens. T'was absolute horror in my School exams.

As for the email feature, I think developing it would be a great idea. Especially seeing as it was such a good method to get members back last time Mwhahahaha. Mass propaganda!
