I WILL NOT be deciding who gets nominated. I'll nominate people- but I think in the spirit of fairness and objectivity ( ;D ), we all decide who will get nominated, just like in showdowns.

Each category will have a max of 5 nominees just like in the Academy Awards.

12 categories with a nomination thread and run off for 3 board selected categories...

I'm also thinking in the spirit of award ceremonies, that the nomination stuff will happen second and third week of November, and the actual voting will be first week of December, with a ceremony or something week after so the categories get a week to run.

What say you?

Oh, and here's the house categories so far. I took into account comments people said last year as well, but am interested in hearing what you all think...


Poster of the Year - Someone who consistently is funny, insightful, or otherwise makes you type "EXALT!"

Pun's House MVP - Different then above. The MVP brings a different quality to the board, they are helpful to new people, help in other ways or otherwise provide good service...

Best Thread - BESTEST thread of the year. EVAR!

Worst Thread - Thread that wished you had admin powers to nuke it off the FACE OF THE FUCKING PLANET!

Best Avatar/Theme - Best avatar. D'uh!

Worst Avatar/Theme - The AV that makes you hide the screen when your significant other comes around, or makes you think you'll get fired if work saw it...

Best Flame - The flame that makes you say damn!

Best Feud - The feud that in real life would have led to blood! Blood I tell you!

Most Creative Post - the single most creative post over this last year...

Best Showdown - What Showdown had you coming back to discuss, curse, laugh and cry?

Best Pun's House Showcase (Q&A) - What Showcase had you coming back to discuss, curse, laugh and cry?

Best Variation on a Nickname / Login name - Some posters take their nic, and make funny variations with them, usually with an AV...

Nominations threads will open next Monday, November 10th, 2008 for you to nominate all of the categories...
