    Original Thread here!

    Last year the categories we had were:

    Best Poster
    Most Biased Poster
    Most likely to be banned in 2009
    Most Successful Sh*t Stirrer
    Services to Irish Football
    Best Newcomer
    Poster Who Always Defends The Indefensible
    Poster Who Left too Early
    Thread of the Year
    Rant of the Year
    Funniest Moment

    All of which can be found here!

    Would there be any interest in running this again?

    Vote accordingly and if the forum wants to do it I have no problem running it.

    Also if anyone thinks that we should add a new award just post it and if it gets enough thanks we can put it in?

    PLEASE READ POST 32!!!

    Should we run the Soccer Forum Awards again? 78 votes

    once people dont take it too serious i think this is a good idea and was good fun last year. wasnt there also a best comeback thread, I remember thinking i could be in with a shout of winning that last year if Estie wasnt about as for some strange reason i couldent access boards when i lived in east london (though every other site worked fine which was wierd) and id pnly just started re-posting at the time, but alas... :)

    im too lazy to search but who were the winners last year? iirc now mod Eze won the best poster poll

    He won best noob iirc, LuckyLloyd won best poster.

    I think it should definitely go ahead, as long as it's not taken seriously enough for awards like most biased poster to cause offence :)

    As I said to Frisbee by PM, I'm happy to help out from the modding side of it but don't have the time to put it together this year.

    +1 from me anyway.

    It was mentioned as an idea for the main boards awards, but I think it is a good suggestion too, considering his involvement in our community

    Right seems there is an interest so I'll go ahead with this.

    Assisted of course by the lovely Xavi6 and eZe^

    My idea was to keep this thread purely for the ideas for awards and not the nominations themselves, I'll open another thread for people's nominations.

    So If anyone wants to add an award post your idea and we can judge it by the amount of thanks it gets as a post.

    I'll leave this thread open until Friday (11th.) so everyone gets a better chance of seeing it, after that then I'll open up a new thread for nominations.

    If the forum awards are run, I would like to see the award for Most Successful Sh*t Stirrer done away with.

    I think having an award for this essentially sends out the completely wrong message that semi-troll like behaviour is acceptable/welcomed on the forum.

    Basically it's seems like it's rewarding posters who add very little to the forum apart from displaying an ability to annoy other posters while simultaneously displaying their abilit to avoid breaking the letter of the law in terms of the forum rules while simultaneously pissing all over the spirit of these rules.

    Alternatively if it is retained, have the "prize" for winning this award be a year's banning from the forum.

    Frisbee the second link in your OP is broken, is this the one you were linking to?

    http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=2055425755&highlight=awards+boards

    Can't think of any to add at the moment, though I would like to see names attached to the awards (think this was mooted last year, e.g. the Jimmy Bullard for Funniest Post Award etc).
