Hello. I’m curious about members here and who is noted for doing/being what. And so, I made a bit of a survey to say what you think, and also to pay tribute and compliment members on being a certain way. So here is a minor poll of sorts that gives you a chance to give out an award to another member here. Just some items I wanted to mention. No, this isn’t a “favorites” or “popularity” contest. It’s opinion, and if the mods think this is more suitable for IMHO and wish to move it, then so be it. It’s a chance to give a cyber “pat on the back” to a fellow poster, to show they are appricated for being who they are and that we love em just that way. Granted two or three of the awards are negative in a way, it still gives people a chance to have fun and pass out awards to people who they think are most deserving. Yes you can put down yourself for anyone, (or all of them if you like, that way nobody can read and whine about how they feel left out about not getting an award…if you are reading, and haven’t gotten one from anyone yet, then fill it out and put your name down!) You can also have the same person for more then one. However I hope that on each one you have just _one_ person, if you can help it. Only have two people for the same award if you cannot pick between the two. Also, if this topic is a complete bomb, and drops to the bottom of the page with nary a post (or one or two that say “Man, you suck”) that’s fine too. It’s just for the bored and just for fun. In two weeks (if this is popular), I will come in here and total up the mentions and give the results of the winners. So with out further ado, Here are the awards. Fill them out as you like. **Based on Posting** _Funniest Male Award: Funniest Female Award: Most Serious Male Award: Most Serious Female Award: Most Liked Male Award: Most Liked Female Award: Smartest Male Award: Smartest Female Award: Posts the most Male Award: Post the most Female Award: Best Ideas for a Topic Male Award: Best Ideas for a Topic Female Award: Nicest Male Award: Nicest Female Award: Most Sensible Male Award: Most Sensible Female Award: Weirdest Male Award: Weirdest Female Award: Most Original Screename Male Award: Most Original Screename Female Award: Male You’d Most Like to Meet Award: Female You’d Most Like to Meet Award: Best Overall Poster Award: Best Overall Poster Award:_ **Based on Picture** _Good Looking Male Award: Good Looking Female Award: Sweetest Smile Male Award: Sweetest Smile Female Award: Nicest Eyes Male Award: Nicest Eyes Female Award: Best Hairstyle Male Award: Best Hairstyle Female Award:_ **Misc Awards For Activities** \*“I’d Go Shopping With Them” Male Award: “I’d Go Shopping With Them” Female Award: Drag them to a Party With You Award for Male: Drag them to a Party With You Award for Female: \* **Misc Awards for Either Gender:** _Best Signature: “Has an Opinion on Everything” Award: Most Controversial Award: Most Sarcastic Award: Most Helpful Award: Most Likely Become a Millionare Award: Most Likely to Become a Hero Award: “I’d hit it” Member Award: Member You Disliked But Now Like Award: Member You Liked But Now Dislike Award: Member That is Most Missed Award: Best Moderator Award: Person Most Likey Running the SDMB 10 Years From Now Award:_ **Misc Awards** _Best Topic You’ve Ever Seen Here Award: Best Subject to have a Topic on Award: Best Game Played on Here Award: Best Forum to Hang Out Award: Worst Forum to Hang Out Award: Most Exciting Thing That’s Happened on Here Award: Best Smilie Award:_ Make up an award and give it to someone else: Make up an Award that you would give yourself: ---

Poster most likely called if you need to have the top of you bookcase dusted. Poster most likely called if you want to organize a urine soaked food eating challenge. Poster least like a militant, environmentalist, black female accused of running a prostitution/hash ring out of the basement of the local church. (Although that one did have some stiff competition). ---

I’m sorry I didn’t include those awards. :o I’ll remember to put them in the next one. Now, you two, get to filling it out. That’s an order. 😉 ---

I would suggest not having a _dislike_ award. That could get ugly. Besides, everyone knows that would be **Coldfire**. 😛 My lists are going to have a bunch of multiples, you know. Esp the ladies… [wink] How _you_ doin? ---

I’d avoid gender specific awards, on account of some posters and/or their screen names being non-specific. My first nomination would be a _“Good Sport Award”_ to **Giraffe** , for the whole [“Sandwich Incident”.](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=190370) ---

I believe this was done at least once before(quite a long time ago) and it did, in fact, get quite ugly. ---

What happens, unfortunately, is that human nature sets in. Those who get named are happy, those who do the naming are happy, but plenty of those who are not named get peeved about it and don’t mind saying so. Invariably someone will post saying the whole thing is a popularity contest and shouldn’t the SDMB be above that, or some such drivel. ---

This is why I said that if anyone is not thus far on a list as getting an award, by all means, they can put themselves. I also have the last question being, “give an award to yourself” _shrug_ ---

They’re always popularity contests, even if people just put themselves on it - because then, other people will chime in with “Oh, I agree, **White Lightning** IS the coolest!” or something. It’s not that the thread has any kind of bad intentions, because I’m sure it doesn’t. But some people are incredibly insecure about themselves, and they project that here by complaining about these awards, no matter how well intentioned they are. (And I say that having posted a similar thread a while ago.) ---

Um, how about “Most likely to **never** get over it” award? I won that one in high school- please pass the crown to someone else.😃 ---
