Forum Awards 2022, Do You Want Them?

#1

Post by Star »

Ladies and gentlemen, :bow:

I would like to formally announce that later this year ‘The Official Fastlane Forum Awards 2022’ will be coming your way. Are you sure they’re official I hear you wondering? Well, yes they are. @PTRACER has graciously agreed to them happening. :oimate:

At the moment, the plan is to run them around the summer break, though maybe I could be persuaded to run then sooner if there is a lot of interest. I want to stress, these awards are not about me, they’re about you, the good members of this forum. I am just your glamorous hostess. :angelic: Oi, who laughed!!! :shocked:

In addition to awards that will be voted on, if you have ideas for a particular/special award, I will also be allowing those. For example ‘The Special Award For Best Forum goes to @PTRACER ’. Get the idea? So get your thinking caps on for those. These will be limited in number as I can’t do dozens of them.

Anyway, I have some ideas on the kinds of awards I’d like to run but I want to know a couple of things from you guys:

1. Are you interested in having them?

2. What categories would you like to see included?

I can’t guarantee all of your ideas will be included, depending on how many there are. I have to consider my award designer/maker @Ultra (aka my daughter). She has a long history of making awards for me over the years and I can assure you, you won’t be disappointed. I don’t want to overwhelm her, bless her. :cool:

So it’s over to you. Please let me know how much interest there is here for them. Oh and one other thing. I won’t run any awards that are mean, nasty or mind offend. This is supposed to be a bit of fun to makes us all feel good and to hopefully make us all smile. :mates: :drunk:

Hey Star, I like the idea!

This is the last one we ran in 2015, you will see the kinds of categories we had back then if it helps:

Let's give this a few more days and I'll send out some prompts for people to check this thread.

Yea, I think it always works well. Sort of always brings the forums back together.

Thanks. I did look at the awards you had before and they're not that far off the kind of thing I've done in the past.

I'd be happy to do them if people were interested, but if they're not there is little point. I don't want to force them on people and I don't want to waste my time or anyone else's either. I'll wait and see if people just haven't noticed this topic, but I am thinking they probably have and just don't care. If that is the case, so be it. :cool:

I don't want to force people into having them, I just want to know either way if it's worth the time and effort is all. It's horrible when you do something like that and only a handful of folks get involved, it makes them kind of pointless too.
