The "Freeola Customer Forum" forum, which includes Retro Game Reviews, has been archived and is now read-only. You cannot post here or create a new thread or review on this forum.
It's about that time again.
Most of you know how it works by now, but for those who don't - every three months (or so ;)) we hold an election to promote one of our regular members to Notable status. Notable is a position to honour that user's contributions to UKchatforums.com - they don't get any further rights or abilities within the forum, but their status is changed and their name is written in gold to draw the eyes, respect and jealousy of the purple Regulars.
On the day (Thursday 11th August), an official thread will be started by a staffie (most likely me) where every Regular member and Notable will have one vote to cast for who they want to see elevated to such a lofty status. Newbies and JATs will be unable to vote I'm afraid.
Last election we also held a vote to demote someone from their position of notable back down to regular - while this went well, we've not yet decided whether to continue this new, possibly cruel addition to the elections. If you have any thoughts on this, let us know here and we'll make a decision before the day is due.
Til then, mark 11/8/05 in your diaries and make sure you're here for what may be the most important vote you'll ever make.

That's a load of balls. I was actually away over the vote as well.
Before that election I would have said what i always say before elections: Vote for the person who's posts you choose to read first, as that is the sign of a good poster.
I'm sure you just made that story up as a way of kidding yourself that you actually had a chance. I think you'll find I urinated all over you from a great height.

I've almost won a few times now. I think it's my thing not to win. It hurts so bad, I can't even feel any true emotion any more. A vote for me is a vote for, well, Baros-love.
Your_Honour, I remember. That's it. I almost won that time. I came back from holiday and he'd been telling people to vote for him because it meant I wouldn't get in. That made me laugh. Eventually.

A vote for me is a vote for breathtakingly petty arguments, angry ranting, and astonishing levels of arrogance!
Yes, that is a good thing.
Yes, that is a good thing.

He probably kept rabbits. He was a magician, after all.
I can't prove it. But I distinctly remember he had long hair. And a cat. Did Jesus have a cat? Probably not, he strikes me as more of a dog man.

No. I've never seen FM, so don't know if he has long hair. Post a link to a genuine pic of FM showing that he has long hair, get it ratified by the man himself, then I'll believe in Jeezus.
Honest.
Vote Pedro.

I think the ASCII thing (I still don't even know what that stands for) makes up a cut above, heh. Maybe we could vote you in to a Chief Geek position, or something, with a brand new colour. How's turquoise - that work for you?

So was Jesus, in his time. Well, apparently, and all that. And they both had long hair. I think I've convinced you.
And there'll be electioneering in no time, it's always comedy. Also, if you tried that e-mail system, you wouldn't get people staying up until midnight in the hope they'll be the last to vote. Also, you get those funny mass-forum votes. I remember one election where everyone went to bed, then when we next checked there'd been about 15 votes in 10 minutes, all for the same person because he came from the WWF forum, or something like that.
