    Member of The Year

    What do you think of the idea of having an annual election for "Literature Network Member of The Year"...Starting this year...

    We post nominees and the 10 most nominated members will go to second round, which is a poll (everyone here loves poll, I supose). Then we vote, and by the closing of the year 2005, we'd have our "Member of The Year". Maybe we can present an online thropy along with the title

    This istotally just for fun, of course...

    Share your thoughts...

    Member of the year for what exactly? I mean what would the criteria be? Best posts? Best wit? The most posts? Most beloved and helpful? Also, what if some people felt left out? And who could vote? Newbies (me, me, me!) old timers? I think it’s an intriguing idea. What's everyone else think?

    No criteria, any member you want.

    As I said before, 'tis only for fun...so no need to be too serious with the category/criteria

    Good idea sub, but like Darlin, I will like to say that we should judge the members by the sort of posts, wit and their participation in the forum.

    It looks like fun.

    ive seen this done before on other forums, and you then receive the title of Member of The Year, and get some notice somewhere on the site.

    it is alot of fun, and we can also go on to Ms Literature and Mr Literature.

    Sounds like it could be... endearing, supposing that's what someone wants.

    Maybe, to make things interesting, people should nominate themselves and tell other members why they think they should be The Member of the Year before voting starts.

    haha no i think that it will be very very easy for some to nominate themselves, but more difficult to nominate others. its better to nominate others to avoid the big-headedness that may arise from self-nomination.

    mmm I'm not to keen on it, it sounds like competition... and anyway i wouldnt know who to choose and all, cos most people here are just so lovely... so it seems slightly pointless to me, but I see I am the only one so I suppose that if it happens I wont be able to restrain myself from putting my big nose in it....


    Maybe I can open a betting point on who the chosen one will be instead... I already have a couple of candidates to victory in mind...
    dead on the inside, i've got nothing to prove
    keep me alive and give me something to lose
