How about Sexiest Redhead Poster? Most Improved Poster, and Least Improved Poster. Poster Whose Posts Would Be Improved by a Cat Walking Randomly Across the Keyboard While Posting. Best On-the-Spot Poetry Maker-Upper. Of course, no one’s yet come up with a category I would win… sigh. ---

Least/Most seen? Coolest user name? Perhaps awards divided by forum as mentioned above would be in order. Some folks never leave their preferred forum - of course some are all over the board. So maybe forum award capped off with two or three overall awards. I’d suggest bagging slam awards - though tongue in cheek seems harmless, most folks around here do have an understanding of humor in general at least. Warning gratuitous smilie use ahead 😉 * * * All you need to start an asylum is an empty room and the right kind of people. ---

**Sexiest,** of course. **Most Missed Poster,** for all those people who have left us. **Most Missed Thread** **Best MB Scandal** **Biggest Heartbreaker,** for whatever reason (taken, jailbait, etc.) **Most Sex-obsessed** And, for the perpetual MPSIMS topics to be decided once and for all: **Poster You Most Want to Date** **Poster You Most Want to Do** And, the category I won last time around: **Best Sport** So, Opal, when are you going to get this started again?

Opal- looks good to me, although we’ll probably debate ad nauseum what makes up a “newbie”… (“I’ve only been here a month! I’m a newbie!” “Yeah, but you’ve got over 400 posts already! You’re not a newbie!” “I’ve only got 50 posts, but I’ve been posting for six months- am I a newbie?” “How about three months? Is that a newbie?”) Given that I first made the suggestion, I suppose it’s my fault, and I apologize. And I’d suggest… ehm… what are my numbers again?.. ah, hell, I say leave it up to the particular voter to decide whether someone’s a ‘newbie’ or not. Free-form it. * * * JMCJ Just confirming that my ass is, in fact, the wisest part of my body. ---

A person doesn’t have to still be a newbie to win a newbie award. Things like “Fastest Assimilation of a Newbie” could apply to someone who started a year ago, but the award refers to them when they were newbies. * * * – Teeming Millions: [http://fathom.org/teemingmillions](http://fathom.org/teemingmillions) “Meat flaps, yellow!” - DrainBead, naked co-ed Twister chat O p a l C a t [www.opalcat.com](http://www.opalcat.com) ---

I know it’s a bit late to be adding my two cents, but are things like “oldest” and “youngest” and “most posts” really vote topics? Aren’t they kind of, well, easily discerned without a vote? Ah well. So, how many times are we allowed to vote? 🙂 Is there a sign-up thingie? ---

“Sign up thingie” = Way to prevent people from voting 100 times in an hour. Something where they sign in, type a password, whatever.
