Wait...what? Is this really happening? Do we really even have the stable GD community size to pull this off anymore?

[Cure]

If you wanna do this right, search for the old awards for category ideas and how they went down and whatnot.

[Sewer Bull]

When was the last time we had one of those... 2007 or 2008?

[Master Splinter]

If you wanna do this right, search for the old awards for category ideas and how they went down and whatnot.

I checked and see that it was done in a similar way, but I figure why not switch it up some and instead of only being able to submit nominees, a user can also submit a new category for an award... We all have one week to submit as many categories and nominees that we want, then I will get everything together and we can all vote... I will then make award signatures for the winners...

If you have any suggestions by all means let me know...

Rob Paulsen is Donatello for the New Nick Toons TMNT (http://forums.thetechnodrome.com/showthread.php?t=32289&highlight=paulsen)


I think the announcement of Platinum Dunes handling the next movie is WAY bigger than both of these.

Also I'm nominating myself for member of the year. I'm just that great.

Sounds good to me. Added both nominees to the list.

I think I also want to nominate Vaughn Michael for Custom of The Year with his Warrior Dragon (http://forums.thetechnodrome.com/showthread.php?t=29924&highlight=warrior+dragon) custom from TMNT Adventures.

[Brodie]

Someone should nominate Powder's borderline/barely legal shirt sale thread to the controversial thread section.

[Powder]

Someone should nominate Powder's borderline/barely legal shirt sale thread to the controversial thread section.

Or one that actually sparked controversy...

Such as- "Do you think you have an unhealthy obsession with TMNT?" http://forums.thetechnodrome.com/showthread.php?t=32691

[BubblyShell22]

I'd like to nominate Blockhead for Troll of the Year.

[Master Splinter]

Someone should nominate Powder's borderline/barely legal shirt sale thread to the controversial thread section.

There really isn't any controversy in that thread... The legality of the shirts have never been brought up either that I have seen until your post now, it is my understanding they are sold as a parody, but I'm not a lawyer nor do I play one on t.v. so if you can point me to a different thread then it could possibly qualify if you wish to nominate it...

Added.

[Katie]

I'd like to nominate Blockhead for Troll of the Year.

Why feed his attention seeking? At best he's some 12-13 year old kid who gets picked on IRL and feels better about himself by creating his heroin addict sexed up douche charachter so he can believe he's better than anyone here.

The bones were at least interesting.

[AquaParade]

These awards do make it pretty clear, that the community on here has dwindled a bit on here. Sure, people are posting, but it's a little more sporadic.
Sure that will change next year though.:)

[Candy Kappa]

The Bones for sure. All of them should go for Troll of The Year Award, good times.

[Hellturtle]

Arts - Powder - Koschei

[Master Splinter]

More added! Keep the nominations coming!

[The Stryker]

That list of nominees is super unruly and all over the place.

[Loco]

my guess the Newb of the year is not Acidburn

[Cowabunga Kiefer]

Hmm...I'll have more nominations at a later time, but for now I'm thinking as a Troll of the Year it could be Mutated Turtle a.k.a Pipsqueak. I'll leave it up to fellow dromers if that's a fair nomination.

[Loco]

^ lol Pip' was some times right , though.

[Master Splinter]

Remember everyone if you object to a nomination just send me a pm and let me know what you are thinking... If you have a nomination send it over as well or post here in the thread... I would really like to see some links to threads to backup your nominations... I removed two of the categories (newb and troll of the year) because they are titles I would think would be unflattering to a member... and I am also going to limit each category to 5 nominations total... So what I am going to do is once a category reaches 5 nominations I will post the final list for that category and ask for any final objections and if there are any they will be addressed before voting begins.


These two need to be approved before voting...

Member of The Year
Stryker
Krang
Master Splinter
Hellturtle
loco

Best Fan Work (custom)
Vaughn Michael for Warrior Dragon
Hellturtle
RayH
Patraw
Powder
Loco
Topsu

I personally object to the Best Fan Work list because all nominations aside from VM's I don't know what these project(s) these members are being nominated for... So whoever nominated these members needs to come back and let us know which project(s) they are nominated for...

[Master Splinter]

Loco and Hellturtle nominations are in question for member of the year. Can anyone (aside from hellturtle and loco) provide me a reason to keep them in the running... GK and TheCure have been nominated in their place...

Any objections?

[TheCanadiandrome]

Great idea! I'd vote for ya, eh. ^_^

And, let me nominate gobo for "member too modest to nominate himself for anything of the year". Just don't tell him it was me. Deal?

I think we have enough categories for now... I will keep it in mind though...

What's the point of this?

Also add Brodie to that list.

Can I just say that this is terrible? I can appreciate what you're trying to do, but this is just not going to go well at all.

When a ton of competent people were in charge of this, it was still a cluster-f*ck and now we have one dude in charge? Also, now you're turning down categories when most of what you already have is entirely meaningless to the people who these awards are (were) made for in the first place?

I don't know, this just still seems like a completely awful idea to me. The fact that there are only 2 pages to this thread after almost an entire week is proof enough that the community just isn't here.

[Master Splinter]

No it is not going well...

When a ton of competent people were in charge of this, it was still a cluster-f*ck and now we have one dude in charge?
Nobody put me in charge, I just thought it would be cool to do it, didn't ask anyone for permission nor did I ask for help, was it thought out, no, but I'm putting forth the effort to do something community based... If you want to help, by all means let me know...

Also, now you're turning down categories when most of what you already have is entirely meaningless to the people who these awards are (were) made for in the first place?

I am turning down categories because they are suggestions that are meant to hurt others feelings... " Most likely to call out and/or shut down a crappy thread "... Really? That should be allowed?

I don't know, this just still seems like a completely awful idea to me. The fact that there are only 2 pages to this thread after almost an entire week is proof enough that the community just isn't here.

Of course the community isn't here... Everyone would rather call each out on being a troll or b*tch about another user for whatever reason they have... This is pointless, the awards don't mean anything but yet I thought it would be a nice thing to do since it hasn't been done since 2008... But yet nobody gives anything a shot... You were the first one who posted and you didn't even give it a shot and submit a nomination, you just claimed it wasn't going to work... Of course it isn't going to work when nobody puts any effort into it... Instead of sitting in the back row making posts about what a sh*t job I am doing why don't you help make it better?

I don't have no problem with you or anyone else here but the community here isn't a community, just a bunch a users on a message board...

might as well have a mod delete the thread and send it to the disintegrator unit...

I was pointing it out so you wouldn't waste your time doing it. And this is a community, one of the bests, but unfortunately a lot of the people who made this place so great have moved on, or rarely post, and a lot of new members don't stay for the duration.

Wait until new stuff starts happening with the TMNT and the place will be ablaze again. The timing just isn't right, don't get so defensive about it.

Thank you, I will take your thoughts into consideration. If you have any nominations for the 2010 awards please feel free to post them.
