I completely disagree. An online popularity contest? Yeah, that's already been done, it's myspace and Facebook. What is this, junior high, or a deals website? I will not be participating in this juvenile behaviour. Please mark my ballots as all spoiled in protest.

Someone's not winning anything.

I agree it's all about popularity, and the winners will be the elitist oldies.

The only way to get recognized/nominated is to have MJM's post count or be a borderline troll/flamer.

Although I'm not as harsh, I agree this is kinda childish and lame. You do this kind of stuff at tween/teen sites...not in a place like this. It makes no sense.

Oh well, what do I know....

This is no popularity contest.. Well, maybe one or two awards are.. For the most part it seems the reason for these awards is to reward those who have contributed to RFD. There is an incredible amount of useful info on these boards, and credit should be given to those who have gone the extra mile. For those not nominated, it gives them a chance to show their support for those who have provided useful info. Lets face it, these forums wouldn't be anything if not for those users who have taken the time to share their knowledge.

So, if the mods/admins will choose up to ten nominees for each category, how do you determine the finalists if there are more than 10 nominations? I can see the threads already devolving into a "+1 for ___!" shouting match, and it's not even voting time yet...

[Yragorn]
