Well its time to bring back this old Tradition of ours. For older Members, you know the score, for the newer Shas'saal, allow me to explain.
This award is split into many different categories, and is meant to show respect and appreciation to the members and moderator staff who keep thisplace on the map of the internet. If you feel a member or moderator has made your time on here more worth while, then now is the time to show it, anonymously of course ;)
Unfortunately, we do not have access to the old Nominations sheet, so we're literally working from scratch, just like Aperture.
To make a nomination, fill out the following form, and PM to me(Narric) (http://secondsphere.org/index.php?action=pm;sa=send;u=177) by January 5th. Voting shall take place between Jan 6
th to Jan 12
th. With the awards given on the 13

Of course, if you believe there is a category that should be included, then do so on your form ;) I'll update everyone here of the new category, and we should hopefully have plenty to laugh and joke about ^_^
Looking forward to seeing these nominations.

Hmm, call me crazy, but I think there is a little bias in those nominations. ;)
Narric, do you count as a moderator or a normal member these days?
To be honest, I'm not sure :P as I don't even have full Moderator abilities within all Contest Boards (such as granting Karma, cannot "Smite", and being able to lock/move threads in the Contest child boards)
To the rest of the forum, I simply have Member level stuff :P

Ah, of course. You don't have the 'Moderator' user group... the karma stuff isn't done on a per-board level but rather a forum-wide level.
The child board thing is likely due to you not being a moderator of those board(s). :P
So I'm a Member wit a few special abilities? :P Unless you want to give me a Level Up XD

Now that would be as silly as FT having root access the the server. Oh...
So you guys are going to nominate me for everything right?
I mean it only makes sense, seeing as how influential I am on the forum.
Who are you again?

at least he hasn't broken anything in a while.
And yes, I DID have to say that.
Who's FT?

Who're you?!
The guy who still has full Moderator abilities within all Contest Boards ;)
:shifty:
Interesting, my list of people I need to kill has increased by one.
:shifty:
So I nominate people within the past year. :derp:
So wait, am I a Moderator, or a Member? I ask becuase one person has already sent in a Nomination form, and I'm one of the Mods on their list.
Let's keep everyone happy and create a 'Best Narric Impersonator category'? And we'll then not count Narric as either a mod or member. :P

Well your profile says Moderator in this board so perhaps go with that?

OK, this is now a category. I shall update the form, and I expect there to be nominees for it ;)

I can live with that :)
I'm kinda disheartened that we still only have one set of nominations :(
I get people are busy, so hopefully this reminder will spark some to post in as well?
I completely forgot these were running. Damn. Will need to get my votes in tomorrow. (New Year's Eve is my traditional entry date ;) )
Tis OK, I think its been forgoten for a couples so its not at the front of most long-runners mind. :P

I think that you're probably going to have to leave this open for a while into January. Trying to get people to post during the Christmas/New Year period is always more challenging.
Moved to January 19th :P
For the 2015 awards we should keep them open for 6 months... :P
I think keeping people aware of it would help more :P

I say 8 months. It would be more helpful.
