2011 Golden Boogs Awards categories
So with the end of the season coming, it's time to think about the Golden Boogs for 2011. This year, the football awards are being determined by the polls for 2011 Highs and Lows, and we are looking to cut the number of the other Golden Boogs forum awards.
So here's a question for you. If we were to have just five Golden Boogs awards, what should they be?
Here's a reminder of the awards for 2010:
AVATAR / SIGNATURE OF THE YEAR
CALL OF THE YEAR
MODERATOR OF THE YEAR
ADMINISTRATOR OF THE YEAR
FUNNIEST EVENT OF THE YEAR
NEWBIE OF THE YEAR
MOST IMPROVED POSTER
MOST BORING POSTER
BEST FOOTBALL BRAIN
QUALITY OVER QUANTITY
FORUM RIVALRY OF THE YEAR
OBSESSION OF THE YEAR
EGOMANIAC OF THE YEAR
WORST THREAD OF THE YEAR
BEST THREAD OF THE YEAR
MIA AWARD
THE MCLINDEN AWARD

MATT ELLIOTT MEDAL: FUNNIEST POSTER
ROMANCE OF THE YEAR
POSTER MOST LIKELY TO BE THROWN IN JAIL
VILLAIN OF THE YEAR
PERSONALITY OF THE YEAR
DALEY C POSTER OF THE YEAR
Plus, we're looking for a Master of Ceremonies, so volunteers welcome! In cutting the number of awards, we hope to make the Awards a lot more manageable this year!

Re: 2011 Golden Boogs Awards
they are all good awards. if the reason im picking 5 is to knock the others off i wont.
Re: 2011 Golden Boogs Awards
Yes, it is, as we can't run that many awards. Frankly, we struggle to find anyone to run the awards as it is such a big task to count the votes and then run the ceremony. We need to cut back, or cut them altogether.
Re: 2011 Golden Boogs Awards
i thinm we should make it 10 awards.

Re: 2011 Golden Boogs Awards
GE, to save on counting time - once you have the nominees, is it possible to create a poll for each Award that doesnt actually reveal the results to those other than Admin ?
Re: 2011 Golden Boogs Awards
We might end up with 10, but what we're trying to do is get views on what people think should be the awards.

Re: 2011 Golden Boogs Awards
If it's just 5, make them all positive GE.
ADMINISTRATOR/MOD OF THE YEAR - Combine into 1 to credit the hard work behind this site.
FUNNIEST POSTER (MATT ELLIOT) - Everyone tries to be funny, every day with every post, and the best definitely deserves an award
BEST FOOTBALL BRAIN - And not for just rehashing the game in a long winded way- needs to be for all their original/fresh ideas
BEST THREAD OF THE YEAR - Just think it should be in here.
PERSONALITY OF THE YEAR - Could be good, could be bad.......
It's hard chopping it down to 5, but that's what I reckon.

Re: 2011 Golden Boogs Awards
We'll definitely have Poster of the Year. I suggested five so as to get people really thinking about the most important ones. We'll probably end up with about 10 or so.
Re: 2011 Golden Boogs Awards
I don't think we can do that, unless we set up a survey off site or something like that, which could also take a bit of effort.yeh raiders wrote:GE, to save on counting time - once you have the nominees, is it possible to create a poll for each Award that doesnt actually reveal the results to those other than Admin ?

The spiral of silence refers to the idea that when people fail to speak, the price of speaking rises. As the price to speak rises, still fewer speak out, which further causes the price to rise, so that fewer people yet will speak out, until a whole culture or nation is silenced. This is what happened in Germany.
If you do not speak, you are not being neutral, but are contributing to the success of the thing you refuse to name and condemn.

Re: 2011 Golden Boogs Awards
Greeneyed believes The Gospel is not paying attention, as all football awards are being decided by Highs and Lows polls. I think otherwise we'll be limiting any awards that are discouraging.The Gospel wrote:The Gospel's thoughts on what awards should be issued

Once we settle the list, we'll open nominations, and then set up a voting arrangement along the lines Tim suggested. Getting close to finalising the awards list.

Re: 2011 Golden Boogs Awards
Tim would probably know.. but how do you limit a survey site to only taking a persons vote once ? And how would you block it from the public?
Re: 2011 Golden Boogs Awards categories
Survey Monkey is by invite only.. so it will either be pm'd to interested parties or just put as a url in here.. and you can put a block to limit via ip etc...
i doubt we would see any kind of major rorting... after all its a forum award ceremony
and as a sidenote Survey Monkey free (I'm not paying for it) will only allow 10 questions..

Re: 2011 Golden Boogs Awards categories
Two reasons. First, the Boogs is very big to manage, and its difficult to organise a presenter with lots of awards. Second, it is getting a bit like the Academy Awards, the ceremony is way too long, and people aren't able to stay the course of the award ceremony.Canberra Milk wrote:Why all the big changes??
