Just first place.

ROFL. My first post (on this incarnation of the forums) is the Forum Rules topic! How lame is that. My first real post is in a topic "What will it be called" where I correctly predicted it would "definitely be San Andreas"

Yeah it would be ideal. It's just impossible to do, which is a shame. Though you also have to remember that not everyone has the games on PC, others just have the PS2 or Xbox versions... so yes it is a great idea, something we've wanted to do in the past, but something which unfortunately is impossible to do. At least having it linked up with the forums. Of course gangs are free to use the RP/Warzone forum to organise their own gang wars in multiplayer GTA if they wish. EDIT: WTF all three of us just replied at exactly the same time :|

That's a vB forum though, not IPB. Though I magine there's a similar mod for IPB available, though maybe not this version we're on. What I described in my above post would take a bit of work to do.

With the avatar section becoming cluttered - Yeah we'd just have very small not much bigger than an emoticon sized thumbnail trophies there, hover over them with your mouse and the award name and year shows up. Clicking on one will go to your profile where you awards are shown in detail with a bigger images.

Dunno really, depends if I do it properly or not. If there's already an award mod for IPB that's been released I'll use it but if not I'll have to code my own. The thing is if I use something someone else has made it's not tailored to how we want to implement it, therefore it's often a wiser decision to code one by myself, at least then it does EXACTLY what I want and need it to do.

I LOL'd.

Because some people have asked, we will probably close off the voting forum and sort out who's won on New Years Eve, or possibly New Years Day. If it's looking like we need to have more votes then we may leave polls open for slightly longer to avoid ties etc. As for actually revealing the winners and handing out awards... I'm still considering what to do. I was going to code a little hack for the forums which would let us give you awards and they'll be shown under your avatar in posts and stuff. In that case it may take a while for me to actually reveal the winners.

http://www.thegtaplace.com/forums/index.php?showuser=5614 - tends to spam a bit, hence the high post count. He is very active, but could do with better posts.

Shit? They're the same person? Funny because if they are, they each got multiple nominations, so many people are confused EDIT: Yes, just saw Lord's sig... meh. Poll updated.

Well cubanwhip if your stuff is really popular then feel free to post it in our Gfx + Creativity forum

I haven't approved any mods for over a month now, haven't really had the time, but I should get round to it soon.

Yes that's right, earlier in the month we asked you all to make your nominations in this topic. I've now counted up all the nominations for each award, and a specific poll has been made for each one. The members who got the most nominations for that award are in that poll, and now you can cast your final votes. Please head over to the 2006 Forum Awards board and vote honestly (and please, no voting for yourselves, you'll be named and shamed) in as many of the polls as you have a valid opinion for. Feel free to say who you voted for, but you don't have to reveal to everyone else your vote if you don't want to. All the polls have been pinned for your convenience. Good luck to everyone who's been nominated!
