RpTheHotrod Posted November 24, 2003 Share Posted November 24, 2003 Honestly...dont click the threads if you will be offended if you arn't "picked". I know it somewhat gets to me (I'm a manic depressive supposodly, after all), so ya know what? I never click the threads and now it doesn't bother me. The awards are just for fun...and no one can honestly list every single person they like. So all in all...if you will be offended, don't do something that will offend you. Just let the people who have fun with it, have their fun. and if you don't like what I just said...feel free to duel me over it in jedi:academy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
obi Posted November 24, 2003 Share Posted November 24, 2003 The main reason the awards threads was closed is because of spam, for the record. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh, I understand where you're coming from, I just don't want people whining that it was closed for that sole reason.

Reborn Outcast Posted November 25, 2003 Share Posted November 25, 2003 Well... I don't see why people would be offended for not being mentioned in a forum. I wasn't mentioned and i didn't care.

Sam Fisher Posted November 25, 2003 Share Posted November 25, 2003 I never did get picked..... I simply don't care about those threads. I did post on one of them, but never singled out anyone:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DarkLord60 Posted November 25, 2003 Share Posted November 25, 2003 I don't care that I wasn't picked, well except for something stupid. I think if it weren't for some childish behavior that thread would not have closed. It was a perfectly fine thread but people tend to get carried away with those threads.

Just let the people who have fun with it, have their fun. I guess some people just need to be reminded of their...value here....over the time I have been here, always, its all about the post count, or the cool avatar, or the custom title...way back when we didn’t have the custom titles....that I remember, and we defiantly didn’t have avatars. But people still want to be noticed, one way or another. Its cool to see that someone...notices you.... know what I mean? It makes no difference to me....but it used to...a few years ago....so I can understand why people need such threads....but in my personal opinion they are pretty dumb. But, thats just me.....other people obviously are....entertained by them. But I will tell you, the majority of people clicking the thread are hoping their name is there....and its usually about a select few people....not whatever new people....you guys seem to get hundreds of new people so....most people's names aren’t mentioned. So its like....forget this forum, and you get all the 'I'm leaving threads"...because they think no one noticed that they are here, most people dont even leave....they just want sympathy...so all the award threads do more harm than good in my opinion. I can't even count how many times I have seen this happen at forums....and still....they just never learn.... anyways, I am not trying to sound like a jerk or put anyone down....this is simply my opinion on the subject.

ShockV1.89 Posted November 25, 2003 Share Posted November 25, 2003 [edit]: I should have realized that people are too damn immature to read this post the way it was meant to be read. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jared Posted November 25, 2003 Share Posted November 25, 2003 Originally posted by ShockV1.89 It just seems like it's the same group of people who start those threads, and the same group that gets picked for the initial "awards." Then other people come in and post, and the subsequent awards have a higher chance of including them, because nobody remembered them until they happened to see their ID somewhere above their post in the thread. It's insulting, though. When I saw the "Swampie Traits" award thread thing, I thought to myself "Hey, I wonder how I come off to people. Will I get the 'prick' award? The 'nice guy' award?" I looked, and what did I get? Nothing! Nobody even thought of me, despite me having over 1000 posts. I went into the thread with a bit of curiousity, hoping to, if anything, better myself by expanding or reflecting on whatever people thought of me. Instead, I got a light slap in the face and "Nobody is going to remember you." I suppose I should have learned by now, but like people have already said, it's nice to be noticed sometimes. exactly. all those threads do is leave people out, so why even bother? this is a very large forum compared to many, and it is hard to remember everyone, but still they shove it in the faces of the ‘not so noticeable people’...whether you know it on not. Originally posted by DarkLord60 And what’s that exactly? I Think ppl just can't handle not being mentioned and maybe others may have said "What about me" to get attention or joking around. the only fair way for someone to make awards is to include everyone who has posted in the last few months, check it out, and get all the names....look at the posts...take your time in all the categories....and try not to use the same 10 people every time. personally, I could care less for the awards threads, because it offends to many damned people for no good reason whatsoever. once again, no offence to anyone ....but...think about it. some people are easily offended by such threads. I think it would be wise to take that into consideration before making such a thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
