You don't count for that. You'd get a "Lifetime Achievement Award" by default for creating our haven here.  ;)

Quoting:
"Most knowledgable" should be reconsidered because of sensitivity issues, as well. End Quote

Well, I think it would be nice to admire someone for their overall knowledge and the way they enlighten us with their knowledge...show them that they're appreciated :)  However, I like your splitting the forum idea there...

Quoting:
I also think regular participation should be required to be considered for the awards.End Quote

Royal Penguins only?  Or Chinstrap and above?  :)

Quoting:
I also think it should be 1 award per member elected. That way, everyone has a chance to be chosen.  ;)End Quote

That sounds fun :)

Quoting:
Geez, I just went all-out in thoughts, didn't I?!  ;D

S'all good, we're open for ideas, remember?  :)

How could I forget?

Parodies make the world go round. Although....

I don't think most parody authors stop-in to the forums very much.

Ah well. We'll concentrate on those that do then.  :)

Instead of Most knowledgable, maybe we could call it Most Enlightening or Instructive! ?

Quoting:

I like that.  Princess of Ceremonies, are you taking heed?  :)
End Quote

Yes!  I think all the ideas sound great!   :)

How about Most use of References?  for those who like to quote other sources?

Quoting:
As for voting, I thought we could do a different thread for each category then have everyone vote.  Then maybe we can tally the votes as soon as the thread reaches page 5?   ???
End Quote

We should probably do the nominating threads in the games board.

Your idea sounds like the way to go POP.

Quoting:
As for any of the parody categories, I am not that familiar with them so, maybe someone else can pick those?End Quote

Billy and Mike Florio are taking care of parodies in the misheard lyrics board :)

Quoting:

And as for the lifetime award, and any other specialties, I thought we could vote on those as well.
End Quote

We could just do nominations and then once we get a "second" and a "third" we'll just give them the award in different categories :)

Quoting:
How about we set the deadline for all categories for Friday, then start threads in the games board for similar categories?  I think having an individual thread for every category would get really confusing and hard to track.
End Quote

Could you please be more specific?  Give me an example?  I am having a "princess" moment & me no understand :-/

Quoting:

Are we going to leave the voting open to everyone?
End Quote

I think we should.  Why limit it to a certain caliber of penguin?  That seems too elitist IMO.

Thread 2:

Most political
Most likely to start a debate

Thread 3:

Thread 4:
Funniest member

Most active

Thread 5:
Best avatar
Best signature line
Most uses of smilies in their posts

Thread 6:
Best reps of the following:
Before 70's
70's
80's
90's
2000's
Quizzes
Board Games

Thread 7:
Lifetime Achievement Awards


I think we should add:

Most Active New Member (There you go, John_Harvey)

Every member gets to vote!  :D

As far as all lurkers are concerned, familiar ones and not -

To preserve the integrity of this procedure, we should not allow any lurker votes. None.

It would be too easy for some joker to become an impostor and post as one of us in lurker mode. I'd be able to tell, but I really do not have the time to monitor each vote.  :-/

So...

What do you think? Does it matter enough to be a concern?


End Quote

Sounds great HS!:D  When should we start posting them?

Quoting:
Friday it is!  Since I am on so early in the a.m., I will start the threads & we will run them until each one is at page 5.  Maybe Hairspray or Chucky can lock them up at 5 pages.  

:D
End Quote

Will do!  :)

Quoting:
Is five pages long enough?
End Quote

It should be.  They should be pretty short posts.  All we really need to do is type the name of the catogory & who we are nominating for each one.  Short, sweet & to the point!  ;)

Quoting:
Is five pages long enough?
End Quote

Yeah, I was wondering about that.  What if each thread hits five pages before members in other time zones have a chance to log in at all?

Say Princess starts the threads at 6am Eastern time USA.  Those of us that are able to log in early do so, but the threads hit five pages at around 2pm Eastern time.

We have a lot of active members in Australia and the UK, who may not be able to get here at that time of day/night.

Why not watch the time stamp instead, and lock it after 24 hours?

Quoting:
Sure :)  Down with lurkers!

Aw, man!  I wanted to participate!

He can also gush about his sure-fire lifetime achievement award ;D

Somebody remind me about this Renegade Retro.  It sounds like fun!  I have never been there.
End Quote

Shame, shame. You've been missin' an excellent Saturday night - early Sunday morning party, listening to your requested favorite tunes and chatting with many of us night owls in the Renegade Retro chat room.

TV9 will post here and in the "In the 80's" forum giving details about the many different ways you can make requests every Saturday night.

So...

Be on Saturday night.  :)

Quoting:
could we be allowed to make speeches after accepting the award?  ;D

But in the U.K 'Bird' is a word for a woman and as I'm English you could consider me a bird !!

In addition, the winner in each category will receive a lifetime's supply of ice cubes!

Although there may be one member here who would prefer a lifetime's supply of "rice" cubes!

Another thing we could do is PM the winners on Thursday (you probably already know who you are) and then have them get a speech ready on Friday, when we do an Oscar-style show.  What say you, Princess of Ceremonies?  :D

Sounds great Master of Ceremonies!  I heard Joan & Melissa Rivers will be interviewing winners on their fashion statements & any gossip they have to share!  And boy, I bet there is some gossip floating around these boards! nyuk, nyuk ;)   ;D
