Hi all...it's getting close to that time of year....when we have the BBPOTY contest.

"Bulletin Board Personality of the Year"

Here's our past winners <!--graemlin::cool:-->

2004 Lipripper
2005 papa_d
2006 joda911

papa and joda will be part of the "Vote Counter / Judges" group along with me....but we'll need 2 more volunteers to help count votes...so if you're interested...please PM me <!--graemlin::)-->

I'll be posting Official Rules and instructions in a separate post...probably Thanksgiving weekend <!--graemlin::)-->

Originally posted by: davesett2000 on 11/3/2007 9:39:31 PM

Thanks Sharon <!--graemlin::)-->

Something to remember for the rest of you is that this isn't a popularity contest <!--graemlin::eek:-->

You are to make your vote for the person that has given the best info, been the friendliest and has basically "stood out" in YOUR mind above others. I KNOW how tough this can be....why do you think we don't allow the "Vote Counter's / Judges" to even vote. <!--graemlin::confused:-->

The BIGGEST reason is that those of us in the past who have spent mega-time here on the BB see what SO many of you bring here to the BB...and chosing ONE of you is mind-numbing <!--graemlin::o-->

That being said...you are still being asked to chose the person that YOU thought did a respectable job of sharing their knowledge / being an all-around good BB Member. <!--graemlin::)-->

john h it should be known that there are many (some would say a select few <!--graemlin::rolleyes:-->) that are prone to "lobbying for votes". It's all fair and in good fun. However, there are those (like myself of course <!--graemlin::rolleyes:-->) that would never think of doing such a thing. I'm here to help everyone <!--graemlin::rolleyes:-->. provide the best info. I can <!--graemlin::rolleyes:-->, be modest in all situations as not to offend or mislead anyone <!--graemlin::rolleyes:-->, and never try to give the impression of any other motive other than to be the Best Boy Possible On This Yearly list <!--graemlin::rolleyes:--> <!--graemlin::p--> <!--graemlin::D-->.
