Halloween Forum Awards....

This was an idea I had a few hours ago....

"Halloween Forum, a large community of members and so many that have helped others and just had a good affect on others. But how should we thank them, messages? Not really....
How about awards!
Why not thank those on the forum properly and vote for them for being a great help to others...."

This could be a yearly thing where myself and some others will have the chance to organise a vote and give out several prizes to a few members....

Prizes could be vouchers from companies, and could be accompanied by a lovely certificate....


Please give feedback on this topic and let me know whether this will be a good idea...

That's an awesome idea!

We could start by PM-ing nominations (including a brief blurb about why that person is being nominated) to the organizer, who then makes a poll out of the nominated names, and the top however many vote getters get the awards.
Ooo! is it possible to make a poll such that voters can't see the results? Because then we could do an awards ceremony (like the Oscars with spiderwebs and pumpkins) on youtube...OR live on ustream.tv...hmmm....

That is a FANTASTIC Idea. The tough part would be narrowing it down. There are so many folks out there that are gods of knowledge and are the nicest folks in the world.

Great idea. A lot of logistics to this..but certainly makes me think.

I agree. It's a great idea, but there are so many helpful, inspiring people on this site, I doubt I could narrow the selection down much.

There are other ways that we can do this. It is not something that can happen overnight as it would take a little time, but there are additional things that I can implement that may be able to help.
Need to give some additional thought though.

There could be a few categories, maybe ones that match the forum categories. There are some that specialize in some but not all.

Agree with vouchers and certificate. Maybe a highly prized HF t-shirt, sound fx CD, etc. Or provide a list of things that they can pick from. The craft guy may want a new glue gun. The animatronic guy may like a wiper motor. You could also the guys at Hauntcast so they can add it to their show.

Because then we could do an awards ceremony (like the Oscars with spiderwebs and pumpkins) on youtube...OR live on ustream.tv...hmmm....

"I'd like to thank my wife, my zombie actors, my hot glue for sticking through 3 rain storms, Home Depot to whom I owe lots of money..."

exssssssselent idea

I think it is a brilliant idea. When someone helps me with a problem or even just takes the time to respond to a thread, I am always so thankful and like to pay it forward. By awarding certain people in various catagories I think will only enhance an already great forum. I think it would be wise to allocate a predetermined amount of time for all members to discuss ideas pertaining to this subject.

I think something like a quarterly awards might keep things fresh, keep people inspired and interested.

I don't know how others would feel about it but maybe a monthly dues of an insignificant amount can be deposited into a paypal account for awards.

Oh, yeah, I'm down with that idea, I think it would stimulate input. We had something like 2,000 people on-line at the same time last Halloween; let's double that.
