The POTW needs you!
You've always hoped someone would nominate one of your posts. You even imagined what your reaction would be once you scrolled down the list of nominations and saw YOUR VERY OWN POST nominated! Would you act surprised? Flattered? Or maybe you would just fake slight indifference with the same hint of cynism that got you nominated in the first place. You've even thought about it late at night while tucked inbetween your soft sheets and warm blanket, dreamily looking out at the glittering stars through your loft window.
Well dream no more! Prove your stuff right here! Show us what you got! Make us believe in you, post right now, no chance anyone will miss it! I will personally gaurantee to nominate at least one post in this thread, even if there's just one reply and it's shit beyond shit.* Others will too if you got the right stuff!
Go for it baby! Yeah!
* I may **** up the nomination because of the convoluted, difficult to understand, and generally ****ed up rules of POTW nominating and void the whole thing without intention.

Re: The POTW needs you!
I got nominated pretty much every week at the start but then something happened.
Either i stopped:
* Posting as much
* Giving a **** and stopped trying to be funny
OR THERE IS A MASS CONSPIRACY AGAINST ME INVOLVING THE MODS AND THE POSTERS!
Which is the correct answer ... YOU DECIDE!

Re: The POTW needs you!
POTW shares needles with Pete Doherty. Its one of these stickys thats lost all important. In forum terms, like the planetarion rules. In real life terms, like the conservative party.

I used to be pretty much guaranteed a nomination by concatenating the word 'clowns' with the words 'i'd violently penetrate a whole troupe of'. Now it's all change.

Re: The POTW needs you!
POTW is biased towards very specific kind of posts (funny, over-the-top, comprehensible in isolation/out of context) and as a result most of the time it's going to be won by the same kinds of people (Dace, MM, Pabs, Skiddy, 1-X ocassionally and perhaps some other types too which I've forgotton).
I think Nodrog makes the best individual posts when he isn't being a faggot.

There'd be very little point in having a competition where week after week every single nominated post was by you.

Well I more meant that his best posts are either not strictly funny or are only really "for" (as far as I can tell) him and maybe a few other people.
This could be said for Jakiri too who also probably posts a fair amount that a lot of people aren't going to "get" for various reasons.
In general, people are going to nominate/vote for stuff which is angry/bitter/insulting (i.e. Pabs / you), full of smut (Manson) or funny in some bizarre OTT manner (the rest).
Also : Are previous nominations / winners for POTW archived, or threads deleted? I can't be arsed to check back. If 1-X was around he would probably not only check but total everything up into a league using some sort of points system for nomination/win/2nd.

We could have a POTW for serious posts, if that would make you feel any better. Although it would be run by Germaine Greer.

I don't delete any of the POTW threads, I just let them slip away in silence.
I used to delete them for a time, but then I stopped.

I'm semi-around
A quick look shows regular threads remain from 22.11.04 onwards.
Only two prior ones exist : this one from july 2004 and the Rids landslide from early November, almost definitely the highest single vote ever.
I'll make some tables out of what remains, and post them later tonight probably.

No sorry required, especially when your way puts me top
I was going to do something simple like total votes per person. I'd took the numbers out of the threads but not done anything with them yet.

Re: The POTW needs you!
what Apothos said makes sense
Steef btw was a girl. Dutch iirc, claimed to be a model and the gf of a PA player
I think people (especially meglamaniac?) thought she was a gimmick and scared her off.

You are of course correct, sorry I thought that was obvious.
(PS - 1-X, I might leave the stats to you in future, it took ages to go through all those threads and tabulate the data )

Sorry
Although I was actually curious and had some time on my hands so thought I'd compile it. Had I have known how many people were nominated in some weeks, I'm not sure I'd have bothered.

Re: The POTW needs you!
how about a list for the most accurate nominator? i.e. the person who nominates the most winning posts.
