"THE VOTE FOR THE NEXT NOTABLE - DISCUSSION"

Those new to the forums may have noticed a heavy pair of boots clicking their heels and the people wearing them are called "Notables". They are easily identified but their Gold Names and invariably (but with one exception perhaps) they tend to be popular characters on the forums.

One new Notable is voted in every three months and here's your chance to vote. BUT DON'T VOTE HERE. See Below.

This thread is to TALK ABOUT THE ELECTION.

One person has one vote. EVERYBODY (including Staff) can vote PROVIDING they were signed up before November 1st 2001. If you just arrived then you'll have to wait for next time - sorry.

Vote as two people and we will exclude you.
Vote more than once and we will exclude both votes.
Don't vote for the Notables.
Don't vote for a Newbie.
Don't vote for a Member of Staff.

You can only vote ONCE for a REGULAR.

What are we voting for:

The person who in your opinion has made the best OVERALL CONTRIBUTION to the forums.

How to vote?

Despite some very good suggestions we will have an open vote in a VOTE THREAD. Commencing NOW and closing at Midnight on November 22nd.

Those interested in being elected should start their campaigns. Good Luck.

You obviously ain't been on that much, just go into the Final Fantasy room and see 'Titanic' who Replied Quoting to Seifers 4,000 word long post. Now that sounds bad, but he/she did it twice.

Ok, I'm gonna be the first to vote. After only being here around 70 days but being online for almost 10 hours a day I have noticed that 'Goatboy' has a writing talent and is always ready to contribute a valid opinion, he loves to talk about the world we live in, discuss films and tell us about life in general.

He doesn't take any notice of whether you are female, male, newbie, SPAMMER or mutated freak of the earth, he just accepts you for who you are.

So I'm gonna vote for him.

Goatboy gets my vote.

werty - that's the most blatent attempt to boost your word count than I have seen in many a long post.

You missed one:

"Don't vote for me because I don't want to be a notable now that nobody seems to be voting for me anyway"

Yes - it's difficult to say whether to do a rough and tumble, open, argumentative, irrational system which encourages tactical voting and is open to abuse, or whether to operate in silent, dumb, boring, secrecy.

Suggestion:

Email your vote to [email protected] along with your site username and email addy.
