Hey everyone! Is becoming a notable really worth all this spamming, taking sides and ridiculing other people that you would usually get along fine with? It is mainly just a popularity contest slightly influenced by what is done in the forums but really influenced by what is said of the forums (msn messenger etc) All in all it is bassically a popularity contest. what do you think?!

Exactly..heh

He pulled out last time because people started being abusive to him with "I never red ur posts u monkee i voyte for pro-evo becos i want a sonee notable" and he get fed up with it.

If it hadn't have been for that retarded "Sony needs a representative" pish then he would be Golden and appreciated more.
I'd rather read his posts about monkeys and old ladies that fight than yet another dull and dry post "bigging up" a computer game.

There's more to life than games.

Because his posts are the ones I always check for, regardless of title or forum, I just make a point of reading his stuff.

That to me is what makes a Notable. Not because so-and-so is a mate or spends more time in a forum I like - somebody that I will always read and reply to.

And there's nobody else that I feel should be Notable using that criteria.
Except Mr Happy.
But he likes poncy films and smells of BBC2.

The best thing about being a notable, is knowing that 20 odd cretins looked up to you enough to vote for you.
And that's where the gold name comes from.

Goaty, seeing as Monkey_man refused to be a notable when he won, what's the point in voting for him? It's a wasted vote if he doesn't want to be one - or has he changed his mind?

Notables get 2 votes now.

Well, they did last election anyway.

So you can vote Monkey_Man twice, if it means that much to you.

It's worth nothing.
It means nothing.

It means that a few people like your posts and voted for you because they were online that evening and fancied voting.

No benefits, no exclusive rights, no privileges. Just a different coloured name. I said it before and I say it again - anyone who *wants* to be a Notable probably shouldn't be.

And I still say monkey_man won the last election and should do again this time. But I get a sneaky feeling that there will be the usual "we need a Sony/Xbox/Nintendo Notable" and a whole forum votes.

monkey_man gets my vote.

Being a Notable must be good enough.
