Move all serious Category ideas here. I'll be contacting the mods and people at the old folks home to get this thing rolling.

Strip of the Year
Let me get a webcam set up. I think I might be a genuine contender.

Sorry, this is a serious thread. I'll start making some serious suggestions:
Best Mixdisc? It was a relatively small thing last time, and not everyone heard them, so I'm afraid this might be a bit of a doozy.
-
I feel that such categories as MVP and "TOUAMBer I'd most want to meet" would probably be repeat wins. That doesn't necessarily mean they aren't worth doing, though.
Strangest escalation of a thread into flaming?
Best thread?
-
Most Apporopriate Thread Lockdown
Next Mod
Most Likely to Completely Disappear One Day, Even Though We Know You're Not Dead or In Alaska Or Something
-
Best Thread Digression From The Original Topic

Best Thread Digression From The Original Topic
This would be a tough one. I used to fairly regularly give out an informal Most Wandering Thread Award, but the number of competitors just got to be overwhelming.

Best Thread That Actually Stayed on Topic. No Seriously These Exist

I don't think photo evidence would mean much. I think you would need letters of reccomendation.

Equation of the week.
Yeah ok, I've got nothing. I just wanted to be included.
I do like the idea of giving awards to threads as well as posters though, if nothing else it means we could compile a list of awesome threads for newbies.
How about best CortJstring?

You only want this one because you are the obvious winner. Where's the follow up btw. Dude!

Of course Melanie is a lock for MVP, but I doubt I am even in the running anymore for most likely to. I stayed away too long.

The Bozack Memorial Nickname Award
-
I was serious about the "have some dignity" award - for someone lacking in dignity as a poster and/or person in general
Most missed former poster
"Too much information" an award for a post where someone revealed more than we needed to know about them
Best Gina joke/reference
Best quality of life: an award for the board member who's real life away from his/her computer is probably fantastic
Married to the Net: an award for the board member who's real life way from his/her computer is probably non-existant
Best smackdown - the best response to a stupid/inflamitory/unnessary post
Best food-related post
Best thread
Best foreign board member
LOL award - award for funniest post
-
The Bozack Memorial Nickname Award
Oh yeah, that reminds me, Rumjay needs a new name. She's all letters and numbers. Fuck that shit.
-
The Bozack Memorial Nickname Award
I love this idea. Ceremoniously awarding someone a nickname is a lovely idea, and perhaps us Mods could know who it is in advance and then collectively decide on nickname for the person.
-
Also:
Most Likely to be Onstad: an award for the member who is most likely Chris Onstad in disguise.
-
Best "Dude Who Has Got No Mercy" (Most wonderful Urban Dead player on the boards)
-
Of course Melanie is a lock for MVP, but I doubt I am even in the running anymore for most likely to. I stayed away too long.
But surely you are a shoo-in for Most Awesome Life, speaking of photographic evidence.
These are all great ideas for awards but don't forget how much rereading of the boards it's going to take to come up with nominations for a lot of them.

What's wrong with "Rumjay Numbers?" I think it has a nice ring to it.

Yes, Hove some dignity is a cute little typo that V once made which became a TOUAMB meme. Have some dignity is something Chris Onstad said to someone that was lacking dignity. I can't remember the context, i'll never win the court jester award.

I'm back in the running.

I didn't make it; the original post was here, (http://touamb.com/index.php/topic,847.msg15318.html#msg15318) by flenker, and there was some alcohol involved. I'm the one who has principally tried to use it as a meme (and generally failed), though.

Actually my research indicates that Flenker made the typo and V was just the first person to run with it.
I also vaguely recall Jough being the one who was constantly telling people to have some dignity but this is really hazy
[edit: this is what I get for pausing in my research to fetch a beverage. Damn you Cherry Coke!]

I recall Jough using the phrase frequently, but I don't think he originated it. Perhaps he can tell us.

Duh (http://www.achewood.com/raysplace.php?date=07092003&allnav=1). Why did it take me this long to remember?

Oh, I miss Ray's Place. We need more Ray's Place.

I'd say you succeeded.
-
I'm fairly certain that neither me nor Onstad originated the phrase "have some dignity" but I still think of the board whenever I hear it in the popular culture (i.e. in a movie, on a T.V. show, etc.).
And V, stop trying to make "hove" happen.
-
This is a fight I have given up, Jough, in an attempt to hove a little dignity myself.
-
If we give out awards for threads on an "of all time" kind of basis, it might be better to put them into some sort of Hall of Fame, either by literally moving the threads into a new sub-forum, or just honoring them appropriately should they still be active. We'd have to set the bar pretty high, though (top 10, maybe, for the inaugural class?); once we start letting Bill Mazeroski-grade threads in the whole thing'll just turn into a huge mess.

It just occurred to me - there are a bunch of new people who weren't around for last year's swap. A follow-up would indeed be nice. I think I am off now to create a new thread on the matter.

See I think we're only awarding things from the last year and you haven't had that avatar for at least that long... I think.
Also if we're going to start breaking out knife pictures I'll make sure you have competition.

Wait, that wasn't even you. It was your friend.

I have a couple of my own. I just find it judicious to hide them since I am a middle eastern male with a security clearance.
