If you were anywhere near jonnys level of vulgarity, there'd be a whole lot more cussing in that sentence. Sorry, buddy.

:panda:

Really? You don't think JonnyTata gets it?

that's what I was thinking, kids got some anger issues. Jeff is just potty mouthed. Maybe there should be an "Poster with the most anger issues" category.

 

[KillerVee]

Oh a panda! You're right. You're much more vulgar.

 

[SLY]

Oh a panda! You're right. You're much more vulgar.

No, it’s not time to vote yet. I just wanted to get suggestions on some possible changes. If you have no idea what I’m talking about, here are last year’s award nominees and winners. (http://www.sportshoopla.com/forums/...ookies-SportsHoopla-hockey-award-winners.html)

Below are the proposed rules and categories (changes/new are italicized). The biggest rule change is that the winner in any category is not eligible for THAT same category the next year (aka this year, but will be again the following year, they are also still eligible for any other category). Idea being we might just repeat winners in a lot of cases due to inertia with so many potential people to vote for. That’s not saying many of last year’s winners don’t deserve the award again, but I think it’s better to spread the love a little since there would be an inherent bias.

If you guys hate or love the new categories/rules or have ideas for new categories, let me know. Thanks.


The 2nd Annual SportsHoopla Hockey Awards - The Hookies

RULES:-Please PM me with your votes to keep it anonymous. (AGAIN - DON'T SEND ME A PM, I'M JUST GATHERING FEEDBACK)
-You can vote for up to 2 posters for each category (you can vote only one if you so desire)
-Each poster can receive only one vote overall (e.g. - if you voted for someone for best poster, you cannot also vote them for funniest)
-Exempt – You can’t vote for me (since I’m being PMed, it would be unfair) and you can’t vote for someone in a category they won last year (but can still vote for them in another)

CATEGORIES:-Best Poster - vote for the person you feel is the best overall poster
-Most Hilarious Poster - vote for the person that makes you laugh the hardest
-Best Moderator - vote for the person you think is doing the best job as moderator
-Best Team Knowledge - poster who offers the best perspective, news about his/her team
-Best Avatar - vote for the poster whose avatar you like the best
-Best Team Fans (group award) – vote for the fans of the NHL team you think make the best posts on here
-Best Poster We Want to See More Often – vote for your favorite poster that rarely or infrequently stops by the board (must be under 1,000 posts)
-Best New Poster – vote for the best poster to join from Jan. ’11 until now
-Best Sig Line or Custom User Title – vote for the poster whose signature or custom user title are the best (it can be either one or both that you like)


Also possible considerations based on the individual post (attributed to who did it), can’t decide if these would work well or not. I think these categories might need nominees to work. Push me off the fence people…
-Best Routine Shtick – Best go to routine of a poster (example – Winged Wheel “Reported” when posters say “To Be Fair”, IPW being a horse, Dash’s puns, etc.)
-Best Original Artwork – Best jpeg, gif, or animated gif created by a poster


I think people enjoyed these last year and I can't remember the number of voters, but I think it was 40ish. The Hookies will return in mid-June.

Hoping to do a video for the awards this year.

Sounds fun, I like the new categories.
How about a Lifetime Achievement Award? We can give it to Bossman because he is posting at an age where most of his contemporaries use their PCs for looking at pictures of Helen Hayes all day. :smile:
How about a 'will they or wont they "do it" award'?

 

[KillerVee]

That panda really wanted that jean jacket. Wonder if he's originally from Texas?

 

[esls79]

There should be a hater of the year award

 

[Comeds]

There should be a hater of the year award

I'd vote for TomWopatH8ter every time. You've been Doaned! That guy was funny.

 

[Eddie_Shack]

There should be a hater of the year award

That's a stupid idea.

 

[li0lsh]

there are a lotta haters on here!

 

[beantownmaniac]

Okay, so in all seriousness, so far I have heard....

Beantown - give the new categories a try
Boss - maybe we shouldn't have only one vote per category

Any other serious thoughts? Thoughts on exempting the previous year's winner? The new categories? Any ideas not related to a category clearly set up specifically for you? ; )

How about:

Best poster in the 02780 zip code?
Best poster born on 3/19/61?
Best poster with a twin sister?
Best poster who drives a green 96 Grand Am?
Best poster who owns a Suzuki classical guitar circa 1960?
Best male poster with a small....Never mind, I cant win that one

You DO realize I'm a lock for just about every category I suggested with the exception of the 2 highlighted, right?

 

[TheRobotDevil]

Flyers fans do lead SportsHoopla in total post count and rep and never count out us devils lol

 

[li0lsh]

rep means squat due to brasky and flyers fans

 

[beantownmaniac]

I don't think I would do the "best mod" category.
Our mods are some damned fine posters in their own right, and it might take away votes from other, dare I say higher prestige, categories.

Are you saying being voted best mod is like winning the Lady Byng award?

 

[TheRobotDevil]

Fine lolish I'll vote for the sharks fans if you vote for the devils fans

 

[TheRobotDevil]

best use of a pun in a feature thread

 

[li0lsh]

ok

 

[beantownmaniac]

I'm against exempting the previous years winner. Also, maybe posters could be eligible for 2 awards so best a mod could also win one of the,as Puck put it, more prestigious awards? Or at least mods can be eligible for one more award? Also, maybe best new poster could be from the start of the 2010/2011 hockey season instead of Jan 2011? Here's some ideas for categories:

Most creative poster (maybe as in threads)?
Most improved poster?
Best single thread topic?
Maybe breakdown best avatar into categories such as:
Best team/sports avatar?
Most unique avatar?
Funniest avatar?

Just some suggestions
