Main Points Raised

  • One participant proposes various humorous award categories, such as "Most times slapped with a mackerel" and "Longest forum post that completely misses the point of the thread."
  • Another participant expresses agreement and humorously suggests that a specific member would win all the proposed awards.
  • Several participants engage in playful banter about their eligibility for the awards, with one expressing feelings of being "verbally abused" but still seeking affection and cake.

I know we do the Member Awards every year in Nov/Dec, but what are your thoughts for a "silly" awards list?

Things like:

Most times slapped with a mackrel.

Most times almost banned by Evo.

Easiest avatar to make fun of.

Longest forum post that completely misses the point of the thread.

Shortest post that completely answers the OP's question. (Can't be a yes or no question)

Most imaginative description of a basic phenomenon that could have been much shorter.

Most kitten/cute animal pictures posted.

Most verbally abused member. (But we still love them!)

The list goes on and on...so anyways, what's your thoughts?

P.S. Winners get cake. Mmm...cake...
P.P.S. The cake is fish shaped.
