The time has come to select the categories and shortlist the candidates for the 2010 FoF awards.
I can think of 5 award categories:
Best new FoFer of the year. He/she must have registered this year. Proposed selection criteria? Most interesting/amusing posts? most prolific?
Best NFR thread of the year.
Best Fulham thread of the year.
FoFer of the year. Candidate selection criteria? Most prolific? most new threads? Most interesting contribution?
Fofer lifetime achievement award. For continued achievement since FoF started.
I'm sure you'll think of other awards and/or selection criteria for the above.
I'm hoping this will spark the interest of the great and good of this forum and they will run with the idea. Once we've agreed on the categories, the selection criteria and the shortlisted candidates, it will be easy to set up a vote. Don't show all the results when you vote though. They should be released on 31st December.
Could be fun, don't you think?

Sorry No, these things create divisions and confirm what a lot of the crop of new posters think already that this forum is clicky, sorry but those are my feelings FC

Surely in cases like these there should be some kind of a shortlist from which to chose. Otherwise people will have to re-read all of this forum for the last year and will most likely follow the advice of one of the posters above them who actually has re-read all of this forum to make up his/her mind. The wise admins might make a shortlist of 5 threads or so from which to chose!

Of course it would be a good idea. It is light hearted banter not created to show how "clicky" this board is. Perhaps if people were to see the lighter side of life on here it would be better all around. Nothing like entering into the Christmas spirit eh? Go with it FC cos some people on here need to grow up and perhaps laugh a little instead of being so bl00dy miserable. Perhaps they should sleep with the fishes. :007:

Agree with Sipwell that you need a shortlist of names for each award for people to vote for but responses need to be PM'd to the award organiser.
The award organiser should also choose which categories are included. I would suggest you don't want more than 14 or 15 or people are disinclined to spend the time responding.
If there is a clique on here its a pretty big one. There are well over 100 regular posters on here - by which I mean they post each week - and the mix of content and comment is more diverse than ever before. I don't see anything wrong with a bit of lighthearted back self referencing. It takes a lot to make a forum like this work from a standing start and the suggestion of awards like these would not have been possible before. Some recognition is due.
This is a well run Message Board. So light hearted Xmas awards are fine but once we start formal nominations it all starts becoming a little worthy. Besides the only people who deserve thanks are those who make the site so well run.
So to all, thanks. The Lighthouse Award (available for a small payment) goes to them all.
Lighthouse is right. I withdraw all my previous comments.

You spent all morning hunting that down didn't you? Not a good pick though so go back to the original.

I am glad you agree with me Mr Beamer, I am not being a grumpy old git contrary to popular belief and I am happy to be able to go the cottage Boxing day to cheer on the lads .£50 bloody quid to play the bottom of the league, here I go again! :035:
I'm also not happy with the notion of awards of this nature and will have nothing to do with it whatsoever other than being prepared to make a suitably modest acceptance speech when the votes have been counted.
I don't see why FoF Awards remove the admins/owners of this site from their spot in the sunshine (which they rightfully deserve). It is a fun reminder imo as to why "we" need to financially support this board. A thing, admittedly, I still have to do but will do in the near future.
It can also be a invitation to all those Fulham fans who haven't found their way to this board yet as to why it is relevant to participate here. That's just my fifty euro cents ;-)
Best Youngster.. Has to be Lork if not then i'll take it :54:

and so, Sir, which category would that be in then? :hook:
Seriously? I think that Admin and the Moderators should choose "the FofF best" list and then present it to us New Years Day.
Hmmmm, "Admin and the Moderators" -- good garage blues band name, me thinks. :HD:
on behalf of the moderating staff i would like to announce the winners of the inagural fof yearly awards.

I think the whole idea stinks unless I win a few nominations in which case this is the greatest idea since the wheel :004:
unless you take every person who has posted say, over 50 times on the forum or something, and give them individual awards relating to each person, you cant do stuff like this.
just creates divisions and qliques, which is unfortunate, but it does.
dont mind if you do, personally though.
