Texsox Posted December 29, 2004 Share Posted December 29, 2004 Balloting will begin soon on the 2004 Best of Soxtalk Awards. Each category will be vote only, no discussion, but feel free to use this thread for any contest related questions or comments. This year there are a couple tweaks in categories. There wasn't a battle of the threads like last year, and that category was dropped. The post of the year was in reply to how to ask a girl at Blockbuster out on a date. Critic replied Quote Tell her you will have her back by Monday at noon The only nomination and clearly a deserving winner. Voting will end at the end of this year. Happy New Years Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only about 15 people bothered to make nominations. There seems to be one or two individuals that received many nominations for the same positions. The admins and mods also tried and fill in some nominees where only one or two people received nominations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I spent some time in the posts of the month and poked around the threads with the most views in each forum. The balance was looking for quality over quantity. It was also funny looking at some of the nominations and scratching my head why? The silliest one IMHO involves me for the Rush Award for Conservative Thoughts. One of the guidelines we had was if enough people nominate a person, we put him/her on the ballot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Queen Prawn Posted December 29, 2004 Share Posted December 29, 2004 It the more someone rocks the boat, the more they are nominated. Whatever works I guess. I will just have to turn up the b****-o-meter before the enxt nominations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ive been at Soxtalk since June of 03' Holy s***, I could have sworn that you were a rookie. So Tex, since only like 15 people sent in nominee lists, I can blame you for keeping me out of the Rookie Of The Year voting in favor of, umm, redandwhite and some dude named tmar? Alrighty then.

farmteam Posted December 29, 2004 Share Posted December 29, 2004 Haha, the only place I even had a slight chance at getting nominated was Rookie of the Year. But, at all message boards I go to, I'm a 'quiet poster' type. I'm not the funniest nor the loudest, so I don't really get noticed. Oh well. I doubt I got any nominations, but it doesn't make any difference to me. Most of the others up there were more deserving anyways. Good luck to all!
