trancEaddict awards!!!!

Has this ever been talked about before? I think it's a cool idea...
We can have awards for stuff like most posts this year, best track identifier, most direct downloads offered, longest thread, rookie of the year, TA of the year... etc. All nominated and voted for by us

Tell me if you think it's a stupid idea
lol

Cool idea but maybe we should stick to the music side of things...this is a music forum btw. If we made one where people got voted many would bitch like they did in the "TA celebrities" thread so voting for people is not a good idea in my eyes.

Maybe we could have one @ the end of the year w/ things like best single, album, liveset, producer of the year, etc.

I would tend to agree with you on that, i dont think voting for ppl on this site would be a good idea, it would create too much rivalry which is something we are trying to get away from and to promote better relations between us TA's

but at the end of the year a thread for best single, album, liveset, producer of the year, etc. is a great idea teknohead

hmm..well I know one that NOBODY can contest.

BEST TA to write in Red is none other than

*drumroll*

wicked NEO!

naww.I think rivalry among us would be a bad thing, if u think somebody is making a good contribution, like IDing tracks, then congratulate them with a PM, not an entire thread.

but the best(not most popular) production, CD, set etc for the end of year would be cool.

I think "highest post count" might be bad idea But "most pointless thread" and "longest post" etc... would be a laugh. It's all in good sprits afterall. Don't want to get too serious now do we? Maybe split it into forums (i.e. music forum awards, track identification forum awards, dj zone awards & chillout awards. Or something.

As long as it's made clear that it's all in good spirts and people should in no way begin submitting their entries for next years contest. More of which you'll read in my upcoming 12 pager about why a longest-post competition could be a winner

lol. don't go all yellow on us neo...stick with the red. it suits you.

Posted by da_MynDLesS_one on Oct-02-2001 23:44:

some awards can be beneficial in some ways... awards like most direct downloads and most tracks identified would encourage people to become more active in all aspects of the forums... don't you think?

I thought about this idea too (well, I was thinking to give a prize only to the most marcant TA - like in everything he does for the forum) but yet this I found hard to decide. I mean, who should decide? even thru vote, there might be some conflicts, to give a bad vote to someone just because U had a problem with him. So I'd drop the idea. We are not here for contest.

though I would like to give a special contribution prize to Swamper. And I am not sucking up on the chief, but more and more I see how much dedication he has for this site, and I know that trance is the main thing that animates these desires he has... so to him we must all be thankfull.

Respect Swamper

hehe, in the chat the other day, me and jeff (tu_face) were discussing it, which led to a poll bout who's the best dj, and scott bond is winning that one
lol

but when time comes, we'll make such threads

hate to say i told u so

yeah this could be quite fun... if we were gunna nominate ppl on the TA boards, then the categories would have to be stupid so that no-one actually gained any respect for it... like on the GC forum, they had, randomest poster, best lookin member that had a name rhyming with fish... stuff like that

if we have actual awards.. then we would have to make threads for nominations (and only count the ones that get the most nominations) then make a poll thread like jddark did about most underrated (bcoz that was the only one we couldnt agree on hehehe)

peace

I don`t think that awards are a good thing for some reasons:

1. Remember the discussion about the VIP Forum? Same thing would happen here again with people who have awards feeling supreme to others.

2. Swamper took a step in the right direction by hiding the amount of posts someone has, since it leads to the same problems explained in reason 1. , so introducing an award system would be a step back.

3. The nice thing about this forum is that everyone is equal. No post counts or anything (except the TA Status which is ok). Introduce awards and you`ll only bring unhappiness and anger to this forum.

4. It`s all about the music not how big one`s name is in this forum.

5. Noone needs awards to see whether you`re cool or not. They see it by what you post and contribute to this forum.

Biggest number of postings - bad idea... some monsters just post and post without any content, swamper also removed the number from our profiles. But all other categories - nice idea!

did he? cause I just looked and they are in our profiles, in fact that was the whole idea, to let the only in the profile and not post it here.

but I would never agree for the TopPoster on TA...

I agree with you, but number of posting will be our "personal statistics". I myself never paid much attention to it.
