2009 Trap17 Awards - General Topic

Recommended Posts

Welcome Trappers to another great year of posting and of course the Xisto awards, in which members are recognize for his or her participation in the Xisto community both in and out of the Xisto forums. This topic will be used for general information, updates and various other things as I finish up the new website with a new look and its own top level domain. As we all remember last year we had some big names and big winners and of course the prize pool of hosting credits for the winners. So now that we are under the new system at this time I am not sure if awards will be giving, I'll be talking with the admin about that in the coming weeks.

Nomination Rules

 

-As usual you can nominate yourself, but don't try to nominate yourself in categories your can't be in such as Moderator of the Year or in some cases forums you have not posted in.

-You can nominate as many people as you want that you feel deserve to be in that category based on where you see he or she posting a lot in, since posts are a big factor in how a person gets nominated in.

-As usual no spam or being off topic in any of the 2009 Xisto Award Topics in the forum.

-When it comes time to nominating people you will use quote tags to list the names of the people your nominate by category

-No Complaining if you haven't got nominated or you didn't get enough nominations, or someone has got too many nominations. Treat this like any other awards competition.

-One Post per nomination, but if you like to add more people to the list make sure to use the edit button.

 

Nomination Dates

 

If all goes well November 8th, 2009 people can begin submitting their nominations for their awards in which everyone will have 3 weeks to submit their lists. Then in December 1st the voting will begin in which all members can vote for their favorite members who have the most nominations. Then the first week of January the winners will be announced and will be giving a Xisto award banner and possibly a Mycent reward. So now for the award categories

Right now I am using the list from last year, but if members have new categories based on the forums or they want to change the name of any on the current list the deadline is November 8th, the day the nominations go up and so look below at the current list of categories and think about any changes you want to make or that you think the list is perfect the way it is.

How about "Best Tutorial of the Year". It would be nice to have. And when I was thinking about myself, how about "The Least Poster of the Year". :) I mean the person who has posted the least number of posts since he joined this forum. Just an idea. Its interesting to see so many categories.

^ Unfortunately I doubt such a category would be possible ("The Least Poster of the Year") as there are many people who join the forum, writes an introduction post and then disappears.

I guess I have to start campaigning again because SM refuses to update my awards from last year to with my new name. *Alex starts making posters*Also, I think we need "Amazing - Dashing - Sexy Trapper of Year", OpaQue won that last year but it wasn't official.

Did you guys get credits last year if you won? I think there should be a New Person of the Year Award(because that would be the only thing I would have the slightest chance at being nominated in lol). The New Person of the Year Award would go to the best member that joined that year.

Yes last year credits were awarded if you won. We'll have to see if OpaQue adds the ability to award myCents to other members.
