Ok everyone... need to share two items of information with everyone concerning the nominations and the nominating process!

1) It has been mentioned that some are not comfortable in accepting their nominations for a variety of personal reasons. With that in mind, each person nominated will be contacted by pm over the next week and asked for their acceptance of the nomination before they are included in the poll. If, for some reason, the person does not wish to be nominated we will contact the nominator (sounds like a math problem or something there) and let them know so they may have the option of nominating someone else. Make sense?

2) During this discuss it was decided, as a group, that the Super MOD's and Admins (cariad, Widget, suchaminx, Tessa, and myself) are declining any nominations for the "Most Helpful" title. We feel that being "helpful" is part of our job description and is part of why we all choose to volunteer in our positions and prefer not to have recognition based on that reason. We appreciate the nominations, thank you to those of you who nominated one of us in that category, they really made us feel loved and wanted (), but as we said, we just wouldn't feel right excepting them in that category!

So, if you have taken the time to nominate one of us in that category please feel free to make a second post with new nomination(s) for that category in the thread and we'll take it from there!

A HUGE thanks to everyone for your participation!

[Bragi]

Out of curiosity...which we all know can kill the cat...is the list of past year's nominees and voting results posted somewhere? I was looking but did not find anything. I was interested in in how long the awards have been in place....which members have been past winners....how many people vote...

Gosh, finding those threads must have been a lot of work. Note to self: figure out how to use the search engine more efficiently. Good job, annie!

[thrall]

HI annie

thanks for the pm

i will add for most knowledgeable

Sir Russell

[gagged_Louise]

Just adding that I'm declining nomination for most knowledgeable. With so many experienced Doms, switches and longtime subs around I couldn't stand for that, though I'm appreciative of the exchange of ideas here. Those who have nominated me in that category might get a pm from Annie at some point asking for a new nominee.

With all other nominations I'm perfectly okay and grateful.

[Guest 91108]

aww.. i would like to have been up for most likely to bite.

[moptop]

I'm sorry, I just realised I left the switch category empty, and I didn't mean to!

Most interesting Switch - Alex Bragi. I'd add Timberwolf, but I'm not sure he's still a member, certainly not around.

[nia25]

I would vote but I don't know very many on here... so good luck to everyone!!! Plus I couldn't chose between three people in some of the categories!!!

[jeanne]

Let's see, so I have to replace two of my Most Helpful nominees...
