Hi everyone,
I'd like to take a moment to respond to recent posts that have been made in this thread and then hopefully we can get back to the topic at hand, yeah?
Yes, I agree there's slim pickin's this month but you have to realize this is the first month that we're trying out this new system. There were adjustments that needed getting used to, routines that needed developing, etc. That being said, even though the "pickin's are slim", the people who were nominated this month, definitely deserved to be so. No one's, I repeat,
no one's suggestions were ignored. Everyone suggested by members and staff alike were considered, discussed, researched, etc. That's part of the reason why it took so long to get the nominees posted in the first place. We will adjust though, and things will go smoother once the new routine is memorized and used more frequently. And
hopefully, as time progresses we'll see more of you venturing out to all corners of the website and the nominee list will grow considerably larger.
I'm not going to comment much further on the "is it a popularity contest or not" debate other than to say everyone has their own opinion in this matter and that's okay. But I'd like to request that if you can't agree with each other, then agree to disagree, go your separate ways, and let's get back to honoring some people who have done an amazing job of keeping this website the positive, educational place that it is today.
JJ Bones, VapeDogg223, Vick074, and OG1969, you have earned your places in this contest and we are truly grateful for what you have contributed to this community. Good luck to all of you!
