...Of the Year Awards?

Scion · ...Of the Year Awards?

Who else would like to have some [INsert thing here] of the year? imagine if we named something of the year and it gets advertised (Unlikely, but I have seen obscure sights get mentioned befor).

Lord Embeion

uhh? U hath confused meh...

Xander Vos

We've done these every year except for last year I believe.

They are generally in the June-July period.

Scion

Dakoth

So you dont mean the Forum awards but more something along the lines of

Best Movie:
Best Console Game:
Funniest Moment:

like that kind of stuff?

Scion

Dakoth

I would see no reason against such a thing, Traffic is Traffic. as long as it doesnt bring up unpleasant google ads.

Darth Splinter

I think we can name the abortion thread in the debate section the most controversial thread.

Xander Vos

Well, most successful controversial thread. There's been a few.

Most active thread is Chat Thread obviously.

But yeah, I like the idea of all that sort of thing.

Like:

- Most interesting thread of the year
- Funniest thread of the year
- Biggest contributor of the year
- Funniest member of the year
- Most controversial thread of the year
- Most controversial member of the year
- Most helpful member of the year

etc.

I like the idea of mixing member awards with thread awards, as it awards not only the member who created it, but also the people who contributed to it.

Crozeus

->Biggest contributor<-

RainaRose

Hey this sounds really kool. I like this idea, we should do it.

Lord Invictus

I'll try to answer your's, Xander, and add best roleplay:

Like:

- Most interesting thread of the year: Most debate threads, but the link thread takes the cake for being continually supplied with more and more information of various importance
- Funniest thread of the year: Official Spam thread involving Dathokius' ostrich incident
- Biggest contributor of the year: Rive, and perhaps Xander as well in second.
- Funniest member of the year: Dakoth, wins every time
- Most controversial thread of the year: Abortion
- Most controversial member of the year: Either Samuel or myself, depending on your subjective point of view (this, I would assume, would usually be a point of view in abortion)
- Most helpful member of the year: Xander, by far.
-Best Roleplay: A Galaxy Without Sin

-> Most Controversial Sith Name<-

Crozeus

^Most hilarious to mis-spell Sith name^

Sirak Sazen

People seem to be in favor. Is this something we're going to take seriously?

Scion

Darth Samuel

This is going to happen.

Dakoth

Thats very subtle sam.

->Best member to pop in out of no where after a year+ absence and actually stay.<- Wink

Of course, if that becomes an award we might as well just think up some obscure award for every member, then they wouldn't really mean anything.

Darth Splinter

>>Most average member<<

Darth Samuel

Jiub

Maybe we should make it 9 months then. Have a vote to see who people think is the "better member". Would be interesting because you have more good friends but I have fewer enemies. It would probably create a flame war though, seeing as how a lot smaller things do. Besides, the thread would have little to do with me, it would be decided by the difference between people who like Sam and the people who seem to hate Sam. Laughing

There are a few that might not be like that, but I don't know.

Actually, maybe we should have an award for the thread with the least amount of spam and flaming for the year. Are there any that don't have spam and flaming in them?

Darth Samuel

Xander Vos

Jeeze. Not cool you bloody hypocrite.

Crozeus

->Active<-

Jiub

Crozeus

You have no idea. Don't you notice that almost all the time, when you come on, I'm here. I've been here since November and didn't really do anything until late after.

Jiub

You: 11.09 posts per day, Sirak: 16.09, Korus: 13.68 (though most of those are from other years), me: 1.67 (guess I'm not winning, and most of my posts are from another year), Sam: 6.81 posts per day (he has also made a lot of posts in other years, but both me and him have had long absences which hurt our scores.)

This is not the most accurate measurement of who is most active, not by far, but it does show that you are running about 3rd. Xander was here for more of 2008 than you or Sirak, so it is likely that he has made the most posts for the year, but Sirak has made a lot in the amount of time he has been here so he might also have the most. I would say whoever has the most posts for the year would be the most active member of they year.

Crozeus

Ok - Sirak posts a lot, doesn't mean he is on here a lot. Alex has the highest post count here. On TDSL Shadow rarely even gets one post a day (sometimes) and has 20000+ posts, therefore has like 15 a day.

Measuring it on post count is foolish. You could simply spam. Or flame, or post after someone in every thread. I will probably have made 2000 in 5 months, considering this has more posts flying than TDSL and I made 2000 in 5 months there.

Darth Samuel

I've gotten like, 2500 since late july.

Xander Vos

Is there any way for an admin to see how many posts someone has made between two specified dates?

Sirak Sazen

You could always count, Razz

Crozeus

lolol for Alex that would take hours Wink

Xander Vos

Heh, especially if you were counting all posts for a year. Razz

Lord Vexen

Not really...all you have to do is go to find posts by Xander Vos/Korus Zett...find how many number of posts are on one page...then go back "x" number of pages until you get into posts from 2007. Then just multiply the # of pages by the # of posts per page.

Simple math.

Crozeus

DUN MAEK ME DO MATH

Lord Vexen

Figured a response like that would happen.

Darth Splinter

Lord Vexen

Thanks.

I actually had a math test that morning I was studying for...and thats what came up.

Crozeus

What?

Korus has made x number of posts since 2007. He has made 50 posts per page, and he has made x-y number of pages. If y=Total number of posts/Posts before 2007, find x.

Although that would be impossible.

Xander Vos

Not really... picture it more like a rectangle that you're trying to find the area of. You times the length - amount of pages - by the height - amount of posts per page.

Crozeus

I haven't given enough values and we're assuming you can't look them up.

Darth Samuel

15 posts per page, I believe, though I might be wrong.

Lord Embeion

Topics Per Page : 50
Posts Per Page : 15
Posts for Popular Threshold : 25

Xander Vos

No, Vexen and I mean going to a User's profile, and then clicking that link to 'Find All Posts By This User'.

Darth Samuel

Yes, that shows 15 posts per page.
