    Ok so the mods that have spoken so far have given their suppost and it's important to get things up and running.

    This thread is for category nominations. Basically if poeple can put one category title per post and users vote by thanking that post.

    In about a week I'll put together a list of the top 10 most voted for posts and send that to the mods. If all ten get the thumbs up then that's the list, if not then those cut will be replaced by the next most thanked. Seems the easiest way to do it.

    And the floor is yours.....

    Do the categories get fun names? (e.g. 'The Jimmy Bullard Award' for funniest poster) 35 votes

    Yes
    0% 0 votes
    No
    100% 35 votes

    Shudder. No one should have the misfortune of being associated with Top Top.

    I say she should be called 'The Zidane'.
