It's That Time Again....

Posted by Dobio Nov. 24, 2007 @ 2:54 AM EST

December is almost upon us, and that means the year end NG BBS awards are on my mind....

I've done them three years, with Zerok and Evark doing them a year I decided to go MIA (which resulted in the worst BBS awards EVER LOL) [but seriously, I just have a special touch], and each year we've had some adjustments to the categories.

I haven't quite decided how many categories we're going to have, but I was thinking that I'd let you guys have an open forum on my page to suggest any categories you'd like to see....and as a bonus, the most brilliant one will actually be included in the nominations thread as a potential award.

...also, your name will be dropped as an added bonus for coming up with it, so you could get a shoutout in one of the biggest threads of the year (at least the biggest of the month) so omg, your Newgrounds wet dreams could all be satisfied.

Anyway, feel free to list some categories you'd like to see...but try to stay away from the obvious ones....and I'm also trying to avoid as many negative awards as possible, because most stuff seems to be based on the last three months of BBS activity, instead of the whole year....keep that in mind, especially when I open up nominations/voting.

Anyhoo, just thought I'd throw this out there.

Random_____

What users have the oddest,qwirkiest ______

It could be location(Fiji?)name,anything of that sort.

Nov. 26, 2007 | 1:39 PM Dobio responds:

That's not an award.


Nov. 25, 2007 | 5:20 PM Malachy says:

"Master Debater Award" ?

I would like to see an award for the most helpful/knowledgeable wi/ht and flash forum users. those guys are always the nicest, and they never get mention since your topic is basically being run by the General crowd.

Nov. 26, 2007 | 1:39 PM Dobio responds:

That might be interesting, but then we get the whole, "What about the Politics people?" or "What about the Clubs and Crews people?" etc etc.


Nov. 26, 2007 | 1:00 PM JohnnyWang says:

Best Art Thread? Off course, since this has allways been a General-centric event, I don't know if that's a good idea. Is there a category for Best New Mod?

Nov. 26, 2007 | 1:38 PM Dobio responds:

The problem with best thread awards is there tends to never be any sort of consistancy in nominations, so it's hard to get an accurate representation.

And best new mod? Ha, they don't exist. :P


Nov. 26, 2007 | 1:02 PM BananaBreadMuffin says:

Worst new user. We have best new user and worst user, but no worst new user.

Nov. 26, 2007 | 1:40 PM Dobio responds:

hahaha, ummmm, there are lots of those...but I'm trying not to glorify people with negative awards. I'll think about it though.


Nov. 26, 2007 | 1:19 PM 36Holla says:

Let the Best Storywriter Award have one last hurrah before it will be doomed to total exile.

Nov. 26, 2007 | 1:40 PM Dobio responds:

Yeah, maybe. Although I don't know how many stories are out there that are any good. Most people lose interest in writing them (re : me) because of lack of people reading it or w/e.


Nov. 26, 2007 | 1:48 PM Malachy says:

well you have done best and worst clubs/crews in previous years, that'll cover the C&C

and Master Debater was supposed to be for a politics person..somebody who actually debates, rather than flames.

and you should ad something for the art forum. best art forum artist?

Nov. 26, 2007 | 8:17 PM Dobio responds:

lol. Well, problem is, Johnny U and/or Stamper would win the art forum artist hands down...as they did the last year....not really fair to the other artists who don't have the well knownness.

Master Debater...lol, name sounds gay, but maybe.


Nov. 26, 2007 | 1:55 PM Earfetish says:

I think that 'most improved' might be a good one

Nov. 26, 2007 | 8:15 PM Dobio responds:

I like that one too.


Nov. 26, 2007 | 2:03 PM Duffi says:

'Best comeback'. Sadly, there don't seem to be too many good users coming back, but I'm sure there's someone out there that deserves to be awarded with this one.

Nov. 26, 2007 | 8:16 PM Dobio responds:

I think there's be too small of a field of competition for that...maybe, I dunno.


Nov. 26, 2007 | 7:08 PM RabiesIsMe says:

It's pretty hard coming up with an interesting, positive award, but I'll work on that.

In the meantime, how about Biggest Impact? I don't know if you already did this, as i've never really followed these threads, but this would basically be about which user caused the biggest controversy or was talked about the most in the past year. Kinda like a new user making a name for himself already, or a known user putting himself in the spotlight with some deed. Whatever.

Nov. 26, 2007 | 8:15 PM Dobio responds:

That's kinda cool....it's different enough too. Hmm, maybe.


Nov. 26, 2007 | 7:24 PM TheRadicalOne says:

Most Awesome user.

I'm not even sure how this would work, it seems more like a joke award than anything else, but this is assuming the whole "awesome" trend keeps going. Which I'm sure it will!

Nov. 26, 2007 | 8:15 PM Dobio responds:

So in other words "Top Poster of 20___?"

I already have that one, JEEZ.


Nov. 27, 2007 | 6:08 PM RedCoin says:

Ummm best old skool member?


Nov. 28, 2007 | 3:10 PM RabiesIsMe says:

You know, It'd be much easier to have a list of all the exising categories in one convenient place. Maybe even this blog right here?


Nov. 28, 2007 | 10:56 PM Hybrid-Of-Souls says:

Underrated should keep the idea from last year (split the award between most and least voted for). As for a new award...hmmm...

I'm not sure if 'Part-time lurker' should be one, since anyone with low posts per day can get that...


Nov. 29, 2007 | 12:34 AM Monocrom says:

All I ask is that you keep the "Best Storyteller Award" as a category, this year.
Next year, there won't be any stories on the BBS. But there have been some good ones this year.

To make it more interesting, perhaps a guideline that each vote be accompanied with the name of the story; posted this past year. Otherwise, the vote don't count. Just a thought.

But since there won't be anymore new story threads on the BBS, let's enjoy the category for one last year.


Dec. 2, 2007 | 11:29 AM HeartbreakHoldout says:

Is there already an award for the most helpful overall user? Rather than being just the best, which doesn't necessarily involve being helpful.


Dec. 2, 2007 | 2:32 PM VeryProudofYa says:

best turtleneck.

Dec. 6, 2007 | 1:46 AM Dobio responds:

Meh, I'd probably win out of spite.


Dec. 2, 2007 | 4:14 PM RedCoin says:

How about best sig pic?

Dec. 6, 2007 | 1:46 AM Dobio responds:

Meh....not really original.


Dec. 5, 2007 | 9:52 AM PostivelyNegative says:

What about "fucking douchebag" and the winner could be you? >:D

Dec. 5, 2007 | 1:18 PM Dobio responds:

OH HO HO, you, you sir are a funny man.


Dec. 5, 2007 | 6:03 PM Monocrom says:

d-bag category?

LOL ..... Dobio wouldn't even make the top 5.


Dec. 5, 2007 | 9:24 PM BatDan says:

All I know is "Best New User" will be even tougher to vote for this year then it will be last year.

Can't we just skip that category this year? In my opinion they're all douchebags.

Dec. 6, 2007 | 1:46 AM Dobio responds:

There's gotta be at least ONE good new user BatDannnnn.


Dec. 5, 2007 | 11:40 PM Frank says:

Best Frank


Dec. 6, 2007 | 2:59 AM MattTheParanoidKat says:

I have one idea Dave. Biggest Troll. It may fit in the "Worst Poster" category, or even "Biggest Attention Whore" category; but we both know well enough that there are some huge douchebags on the BBS worthy of such an award....

Who shall remain nameless ;D


Dec. 6, 2007 | 3:08 PM RabiesIsMe says:

I should win "troll" for my awesome SMG thread of awesomeness. >:D


Dec. 6, 2007 | 3:17 PM Mendou says:

Hi.

Worst BBS awards ever?
Is it because I won twice?


Dec. 9, 2007 | 3:59 PM ShadowWest2k7 says:

The Funniest User Award? i'll try to think of more.


Dec. 9, 2007 | 4:37 PM Hybrid-Of-Souls says:

User for mod 20XX?


Dec. 10, 2007 | 1:46 AM BlueHippo says:

*taps foot and stares at bbs*

Dec. 10, 2007 | 2:25 AM Dobio responds:

Is this a hint for me to get on this shit or what? lol, I usually didn't start this early, did I?


Dec. 10, 2007 | 3:25 AM Dobio says:

For the record, last year I didn't start the thread until the 16th, I just checked.

So NYAH, Bluehippo.

Hmm...Most Changed?
