2018 PF Member Awards Are Coming

  • Announcement
  • Thread starter Greg Bernhardt
  • Start date
In summary, voting for the 2018 award ceremony opens on December 15th and members have two weeks to make their best impression to capture a nomination. Some members have suggested new categories, such as "grumpiest" and "best self-nomination attempt", while others have joked about their own nominations. The voting process can be difficult as there are many outstanding members in each category. The ceremony will take place tomorrow, but it is not a live event so members do not have to worry about missing it.

The greed! You know there's always a "Most In Need of a Shave and a Haircut" category that you always win! Look at that coat! It's like you have three sheep strapped to you!

We once had a category of "most improved member", but I thought that didn't sound good, so it was nixed before being implemented.

I need some FUNNY GD members! Ok, be funny or be BANNED! :mad:

It would be a toss up between two esteemed members for the "Les Miserables" award, IMHO. You know who you are!

GOOD GRIEF ! This is impossible. There are SO many outstanding members in every category, it's frustrating to have to vote for just one in each.

Hmmm. I see "Phinds", but I don't see "AlsoPhinds" and "ProbablyPhinds" in any of the lists...

At what time is it beginning? Generally when majority of members here are logged in, I am soundly sleeping. Don't want to miss the ceremony...

It's not a live event. You won't miss anything by catching some Zzz's.
