The last election was November 22nd.

They are no more often than once every three months, so at the EARLIEST the next one will be 22nd Feb.

Which is five weeks away.

And I, for one, don't want to have to wade through all this "VOTE FOR ME!" s**t, EVERY time I look at the fourms.

So please, think about what you're doing when starting these threads. I won't vote for someone who starts a "campain" (Yup, the miss spelling was intentional), and I suspect quite a few other won't either.

If you start a campaign, you'll probably annoy the majority of the users.

Ok, I know it's all a bit of fun, and you think I'm being a boring old fart, but the next election isn't for AGES.

Start again a bit nearer the time, but give it a rest for now, please?

Cheers.

I made an election website. It should be still up, but it's a little out of date. http://www.imagics.f2s.com/turbonutter or something like that.

Ah, to be fair... I did. But it was a spoof thread, promising things I couldn't possibly deliver.

1. I will take personally set-up my own competition called GAD10, 10 games to be given away each day

2. I will bring world peace.

3. I shall re-unite Russia, American and Afganistan.

4. I shall post over 100,000 words per day

5. World peace

Did it go something like that?

I don't think people understand what is so amazing about being a notable, nothing really. You are just note-able. No notables have ever set up threads asking for votes, it just happens because they are talented to an extent.

Anyways, there is no need to set them up. YH and Stryke have already won it.....;-)
