PPT'bies
Sun Feb 13, 2005 11:24 am
Well, I was just talking to one of my friends over MSN about the BAFTA's and I remembered that on the old forum we had the PPT'bies. For those of you who either don't know what I'm gibbering on about or those that have forgotten them, they were awards that were given out to members of the forum for different catagory's like "Most Helpful Mod" and "Funniest Member". So, the new forum has been going for a little while now so why don't we start it back up?

Aw. Well, if there's a catagory for who wants to kill and eat Arrow the most, you've got that won. But it will be fair this uyear because there won't be any Janie or Bob to steal all our prizes with their wonderfulness.

Wow I used to love those! I was never nominated for any ( 
Boo, cry sob etc) but I used to enjoy congratulating the winners. I remember when Stephy got Hottest Female or something like that...

It sounds like fun! I probably wouldn't even be nominated or anything, but it would be fun to see what everyone else gets!

I don't want one. I think they're a bloody popularity contest.
And are un-needed.

I got nominated last time. I didn't like the fact that I got nominated, I was quite upset when I did. Good thing I didn't win.

I don't know guys. I hear you when you say it's about popularity, it can be. However I don't detest PPTbies. And I'm not saying this because I won something, because I didn't, or because I think I'll win something this year, because I know I won't.
It was unfortunate that the last one was so long due to certain circumstances, and that those nominated didn't come to the forum by the time the voting was initiated. However, I don't see the PPTbies as the worst thing, it's just an event to participate in, a way for the forum to do something together. These things are just like highschool events. Homecoming it's just about popularity but hey I still enjoyed getting out of classes during the voting and the annoucement ceremony.
I don't want to be the "world peace" type here, but maybe we can come up with a way to make it different. If you think it's all about being popular then vote and nominate those you think really deserve it. I think I'm just for pptbies to an extent because it's rarely that these forum events happen when we can all participate in something, and I like that. I mean, it's not like we can have "movie nights" or something in forums
.
I also don't think it's fair or nice to say it's all about popularity, a lot of those who got an award deserved it. I hate to single you out Yoshi, but I think Yoshi has talent, and I know he got some awards. He may not have been the only talented one, but if I were him or anyone else who won something for that matter, I'd feel pretty odd right now with people just calling it a popularity contest and nothing more.
