How could she forget mod awards?

Mods award no doubt

How about "The most antagonistic" award. I have a winner in mind.;)

Does the member's name start with letter R?

Nominating myself for these!

Maybe its the avatar.

Comedy Award : Pum pum might go for that...know him?

:o What's wrong with my avatar?

He's a pretty goofy guy for sure.

I don't think you can nominate yourself.

-_- gotta ruin the fun now dontcha?

I added the mod awards~

I'll only do positive awards, or they aren't really awards, haha.

Any more suggestions?

Hmm, an award for cutest member in each catagory?

I don't think a guy would want to be called cute.

usually yearbooks have a 'friendliest' person...?

*shrugs* I think I'm cute.

Too modest.

Thread of the year award, this will certainly raise standards of forth coming threads.

Would be a difficult category...I mean, how would you know?

There better be some epic threads if this award is being thrown out.

stupid Question: Is this award thing judged by a group or voted for by everybody?

I would also like to know this.
I'm hoping its just an open poll

judge by how 'not mean' they are hahaha. for instance. anybody whos rude to someone who doesnt deserve it (vampgirl) cant get this nomination. simple as that:o

JF has couples?
Name at least 3.

I second it.

Great idea, I'll include that.



The awards are decided by members voting.

They PM their nominations to me and I put them in a large list and tally them up, then announce the winners. I print screen every PM I get with them so I can make sure they are right.

I considered making polls, but I would have to make a new thread for every category, aka inefficient, and if I hosted the polls elsewhere, they'd be open to everyone, not just JF members, and we don't want that.

It worked really well last year, so I thought I'd stick to that principle.

It isn't restricted to couples, it can be members that'd be well together. It worked well last year, and descriptions are made clearer on each award once we have fully decided on them.

My boyfriend is actually on JF, he's just a lazy bum and never comes online. :)

*angry face* I better at least get most active member!

Pex: I do like those ideas!

Last year we banned appearance based things because JF God and Goddess (basically beauty contests) caused many arguements and epic failed.

Sorry Pex, forgot to mention that one :rheart:

Aww, thats too bad, I would have liked those ones.

It just caused a lot of problems last time so we try and avoid it and keep the awards positive :D

Plus, I don't want to bash peoples egos too much, if they don't win, haha.

Pfft, I could win all of those awards if I wanted too, I just decided to spare a few for other people xD

4 most helpful member : MissMisa.. .4 biggest contributor MMM

Only if I get the award xD

I'd say I'm pretty Ho-ish though haha

Haha your right about it killing the boredom
