Boycott the whole Notable thing. I mean, what's the point in having notables? People should have a reputation because of writing funny things, because of being friendly and fun to talk to. Not for having a fancy name. I'm sure all of the current notable's deserved their yellow names, but the fact is I rarely see members such as Sniper, and even then all the notable's act as normal members. People should stand out because of their posts - not the colour of their name.

So don't vote tomorrow. Don't even enter the voting thread. I'm sure whoever wins can feel mighty proud of themselves and wear their little coloured name badge, but myself, I'm not going to vote. It's pointless, and makes the forums a battleground of 'Vote Me' topics and what not.

And I take responsibility for starting the tidal wave of 'Vote Me' topics, but it was only to fulfill Snuggly's wishes to make the forums a more lively place. And I suppose it works.

Don't Vote Tomorrow.

I like the way you put "deserved" rather than "deserve". Some notables probably did deserve to be voted in, at the time. Now they are now longer "notable" material. Not mentioning any names of course ;-)

Vote me. For someone who's never to be voted to suddenly be in for a chance will be funny.
Plus i'm a good poster, so i've been told.

Fill Edgy with urine! Vote him within the next 23 hours and 40 minutes!

*That's the colour, not the liquid - to much disappointment of many :)

Errrr... half pint, the whole point of notables is that they are people being recognised for their contributions to the forums. So essentially we are respecting these Gods amoungst men who grace us with our presence.

Oh, and you and Edgy were going to be my two votes.... hmmmmmmm

Lighten up Half Pint.

It's just a harmless bit of fun.
All it is, is a different coloured name to highlight some of the more popular posters.

People should stop taking it so seriously...
