Noru 4 Posted December 6, 2009 I think those are good, smaller list compared to last years but that's probably because the forums haven't been as active this year. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Alvas. 10 Posted December 7, 2009 That's small and nice. Hope all this goes good. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sherman 40 Posted December 7, 2009 Maybe a "most missed"? Since we do have a lot of inactivity and a lot of people have went missing / are rarely seen anymore. Even without that I think it looks nice and simple. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Spider-Vice 24 Posted December 7, 2009 LOL or you added it on purpose or Sherbert is blind. Well, I think this place is running out of awards really, we're becoming inactive, as far as I know... In 2007, there was much more activity but I guess it was because of the suposed GTAIV release... My Suggestions of awards: - Most Responsible Staff Member I may edit this post later but to be honest, that's all I can get now :S Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
_Ray 16 Posted December 8, 2009 Well since I really wanna win something, how about most hated regular member? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nate10 44 Posted December 8, 2009 Most Missed Member is already there, learn to read Mr. Admin I actually didn't see it before Sherman mentioned it. As for the categories, I think it's fine as is but I just can't think of anythnig more really. I'm pretty excited for when the voting starts! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sherman 40 Posted December 8, 2009 Ahah, I really didn't see it. I hate you all. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Spider-Vice 24 Posted December 8, 2009 Good. More stuff: If we ever do any TGTAP GTAIV meetings or such (which could be a good idea for activity), we could have best GTA player. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TM™ 13 Posted December 8, 2009 I think the list up there seems to be enough. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Thomas. 21 Posted December 8, 2009 I think the list up there seems to be enough. I agree with you there. More would be better with more activity, which there seemed to be a lack of this year. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Scott. 16 Posted December 9, 2009 I always love these, just to see who gets awards etc. I think they look like a good list of awards. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chris 246 Posted December 10, 2009 Ok well if there are no objections or suggestions then it looks like we'll go ahead with nominations fairly soon. Perhaps this weekend or next. Nominations will run through the rest of December at least, with voting commencing soon after that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gerard 64 Posted December 11, 2009 Most Responsible Staff Member - We have "Most Respected Staff Member", which is probably better. 90% of the time you guys don't see who moderates what (deleting spam topics, fixing newbie mistakes), so it would be hard for you to see who was doing the best job. Respect is a much broader concept which depends entirely on your perception of staff. Best GTA Player - How would members here know who was good at playing GTA? Only the idiots who brag about how good they are, the few that have gameplay videos. Multiplayer is still a bit too small-scale - its not as if someone will have played against every nominee and know who is best. I could see "Best Gameplay Video" happening though. Favorite Forum - I assume you mean "Favourite Subforum" - not a bad idea, but it's probably going to be a private gang subforum (voted in by gang members only) or the fun-and-offtopic subforum. Neither of which are useful results. Favourite GTA Subforum would be a bit boring too. Maybe if we restricted nominations or did entire forum sections (eg GTA vs General Discussion vs Gangs) this could work. Most Hated Member - No. I could give that to you in the form of a ban if you like though? Most Helpful/Respected Forum Boss - I like the idea of a forum boss award, but it is likely to be a popularity contest. Most Hated Moderator - No. Undermining staff makes this forum a very dangerous place. I'm happy to have a fun award for staff, such as "Most Nooby Staff Member" or maybe even "Least Professional" something, but nothing abusive or personal.
