Balloting will begin soon on the 2004 Best of Soxtalk Awards. Each category will be vote only, no discussion, but feel free to use this thread for any contest related questions or comments. This year there are a couple tweaks in categories. There wasn't a battle of the threads like last year, and that category was dropped. The post of the year was in reply to how to ask a girl at Blockbuster out on a date. Critic replied

 

Tell her you will have her back by Monday at noon

The only nomination and clearly a deserving winner.

 

Voting will end at the end of this year.

 

Happy New Years

in my run at most conservative and crazy...I've alienated myself in all other categories...

 

DAMN IT!! I won't be second funniest anymore

Ayo, how could Man Of Steel be left out of the Rookie Of The Year voting? It's a travesty, I tell ya!

 

I guess it's too late to add someone to these lists?

Yes, the nominating has closed.

Awww... I was hoping to get some notice in the graphics catagory.

 

Well, at least I am in the race for rook o' the year.

 

 

Damn you and your blonde friend qwerty!

Yes, the nominating has closed.

The one thing I noticed was that it is the same people in each category.

HEY! This vote is nothing but a popularity contest!

The one thing I noticed was that it is the same people in each category.

Only about 15 people bothered to make nominations. There seems to be one or two individuals that received many nominations for the same positions. The admins and mods also tried and fill in some nominees where only one or two people received nominations.

It is too hard to make nominations IMHO off a whim.

I spent some time in the posts of the month and poked around the threads with the most views in each forum. The balance was looking for quality over quantity. It was also funny looking at some of the nominations and scratching my head why? The silliest one IMHO involves me for the Rush Award for Conservative Thoughts. One of the guidelines we had was if enough people nominate a person, we put him/her on the ballot.

It the more someone rocks the boat, the more they are nominated. Whatever works I guess. I will just have to turn up the b****-o-meter before the enxt nominations.

I see the Funny Poster thread is mysteriously locked, so I can't even stuff the ballot box with my one vote!

Oooops. Thank you for correcting my goof.

For post of the year, I was going to dig up Jeckle's when he flipped out and swore Eddie Guardado was cheating by blowing a game against the Twins.

Holy s***, I could have sworn that you were a rookie.

 

So Tex, since only like 15 people sent in nominee lists, I can blame you for keeping me out of the Rookie Of The Year voting in favor of, umm, redandwhite and some dude named tmar? Alrighty then.

Haha, the only place I even had a slight chance at getting nominated was Rookie of the Year. But, at all message boards I go to, I'm a 'quiet poster' type. I'm not the funniest nor the loudest, so I don't really get noticed. Oh well. I doubt I got any nominations, but it doesn't make any difference to me. Most of the others up there were more deserving anyways.

 

Good luck to all!

Damn Hammer, I thought you'd been here as long as I have. My bad. I'll nominate you for poster of the year in 2005
