The Start of Something Special: Member of the Month

Who are you to talk? Its not like you ever had any good ideas or anything. Nice thinking by the way, Im looking forward to this already next month. Maybe you guys should do member of the week. That would be a bit too much though, and not give people a chance to think about who it should be.

Okay, calm down a bit dude. Breathe in, breathe out... The idea of having other members vote was a decent idea (just not one that we're likely to use). And you might have noticed that KingBoss has the Bright Idea award, so obviously we (the staff again) thought he already has had at least one excellent idea. So, yeah, it actually is like he ever had a good idea. Chill.

My whole point of that was to thank and congratulate him, and I think having the mods pick people and having the rest of the community vote is a good idea as well. The first part was sarcastic, which is kinda hard to tell over computers. But then again maybe you were being sarcastic...???...

LOL I actually read this and really did think you were being an asshole for a second. But I read it a couple more times before scrolling down and I could see the sarcasm. It's all good bro.

Nah, I missed it. Like you said, it's almost undetectable over text, and it's also the first excuse people will use anymore if you catch them saying something stupid. "Ha it was sarcasm you idiot you should have known that." Not saying that's what you're doing now, but it makes it really hard to tell. You have to have some major emoticons in there from the start if you want people to catch it because there's no tone of voice. For example, "Who are you to talk? Its not like you ever had any good ideas or anything. "

[addmanrcace]

Yes. If theres something you need to know about me, its that I'm a joker. Most of my friends hate my cynical sarcasm.

Hmm... Not a completely bad idea, but it would also ruin the surprise of it all. Plus, I kind of see this as more of a way to let us reach out and say "hey man, we think you're doing a great job and we want to let you know that." But perhaps you could PM one of us if you feel somebody is deserving and we can take that into consideration when we make a selection each month.

My idea was to try and involve the community a little more but I do like the idea of the surprise. And when you guys want to surprise someone, there's really no need for a vote from the community because they may not vote for who you had in mind.

[mjc0961]

Yeah, but everyone in the poll will know that they might win, and as far as I know, all of the polls are public so everyone can see who is winning. Not nearly as much fun. I think if you want to be involved, offering a serious suggestion to one of us would be the best way.

Of course, that's just my two cents on the matter. For all I know Webb will come read this and say "That's a great idea, STFU and go make me a sammich mjc!"

[addmanrcace]

I think that Webb and the mods should get together and choose who it will be. The surprise will be nice.

[King Boss]

Nah I don't think he'll say that. Because I'm starting to agree with you more. I forgot about viewing poll results before you vote.
