Why would you want to hand an award over to MCN? If only he would post more, people might notice him.

'Most Suited Avatar' is a good one although Denster and KKLEIN generally win them.

Add the award. If I win I'll accept the ban. I'm blates not the biggest spammer though.

You spamming up every thread I post in with your Geordie talk hardly qualifies as a rivalry.

I think it's a great idea, I'll be voting 8-)

if your going to do it ... make sure you do it properly. The last person who attempted to do this did a pretty shabby job and just gave up in the end - POOR FORM!

This kind of thing is bound to tear out the heart of the community.*

*my vote for best meme

You'll have trouble beating off MCN and Irene for biggest spammer.

I suggest something like 'Most Underappreciated Forumite'.

PostRe: Possible GRcade Awards? by **G-Rat** » Tue Jul 28, 2009 4:28 pm

I well want to see this happen.

Although I wouldn't be able to vote legitimately on some of the categories like, Most Missed Forumite, I'd be up for voting on the others.

But yeah, kudos if you stay committed to finishing it...I've seen a lot of things like this fall down before it even got started...

That's what she said.

Spammer! Lies! I do constructive posts! I don't want to win that!

Underappreciated FTW!!

Okay, I've taken suggestions so far and have constructed a list of the 14 categories that I feel are the crucial awards. Note they are split into person-specific and more general forum-based accolades.

Definite Awards

Forumite of the Year
Most Entertaining Forumite
Most Missed Forumite
The 'I Wish They Would Post More' Award (AKA Most Underappreciated)
Best Newcomer
Most Useful/Helpful Forumite
Best Username Award

Best Forum Game
Most Memorable GRcade Event
Best Thread (GGC)
Best Thread (Non-GGC)
Best Long-Running Thread
Quote Of The Year

Potential categories, as suggested in this thread, are listed below.

Potential Awards

Best / Worst Taste
Best / Worst Name Change
Most Intelligent Forumite
Kindest Forumite
Master Debater Trophy
Best Looking Forumite
Most Obscure/Oddest Forumite
Most Creative Forumite
Best Rivalry
Biggest Spammer

Best Photoshop
Biggest Facepalm Moment
Best / Worst Meme

I'm thinking around 18 awards is plenty. So, I'm going to edit the opening post and include a poll with all the above potential categories and the option to vote for 4 of them.

I'll leave the poll open for a while yet, maybe until after the weekend to ensure we get good voting numbers. Then, I'll get to work on preparing a proper nominations thread! Nominations will be open for a while, maybe two weeks, and once nominations have been collated I can sort out the actual voting process to happen sometime in mid to late August.

This is happening people!
