Thanks for that and you too. I just pay my respect from home these days. (The Lord of the Admiralty I now serve has explained in gruesome detail where my Kismet is going to be if I attend anymore Trafalgar night dinners)

I like Clancy's idea! Fun stuff!

Just what this forum needs. A bunch of alkies after a 30 pack judging the merits of anything.

The only one I would win Skip would be the most annoying poster ...

Maybe I would be in the running for best cooked meal with Marmite but thats it ..

I know nothing about guitar , I can't sing , I don't offer suggestions on how to play better ....

I just annoy everyone :

I have been following this thread and have been a little reluctant to post an opinion, but what the heck.
Recognition is usually a good thing and can come from various directions. When a poster's questions are answered that is recognition, when a posted song (lyrics) or music is listened to and a response is made that is recognition also.
I also believe that when awards are presented there are winners and that automatically creates losers.
I believe that the strength of this forum is the open, honest and supportive climate that has been created and I would hate to see that compromised in any way.
Just MVHO.

Wow looks like I have stired up a hornets nest!

Firstly my appologies for some people getting the wrong idea over my thoughts. My intentions were always to reward some of the people who go the extra mile on this site. The motivator for this was the hours of work that one of the members placed into the chat room, I truely believe that we do need to reward members like this as they are the ones responcible (along with mods, Clancy & co) for the progress that has happened to the comunity.

I must admit that I do not see the point raised by some that they would feel like a loser if they did not "win" certain categories. I know for a fact that I would never be picked compaired to some of the great talent that frequents the site but does that make a loser? Well I guess we can all form our own opinions but I would never feel that I am loser. In my opinion this would only suit to raise my game and make me a little bit better than I was before I started. I supose I am a glass half full person.

Thanks for looking and sharing your thoughts on this its been a very interesting read. I must stress again that these are only my thoughts and I and am not trying to dig at anyone as my writen word can often be misinterpreted.

Krissovo,
I for one don't think you need to apologize for anything. You had what may be a great idea and you shared it with us in good faith. You have received what I would consider good feedback and considering the vast range of personalities that frequent this forum, an honest and open opinion. Thank you for being considerate of those that do so much for this site and for us. I do think that should be recognized, just not sure if this is the manner.
Please keep including us in your thoughts, it is always a pleasure to hear your opinions.

Hi Krissovo, +1 to what Knight said, it was well intended and Clancy, Kirk, The Mods and a variety of members work really hard to make this site the best, and Skynet deserves a big vote of thanks for the work he put in with the Video/chatroom, I must get my act together and get in there. The thread opened up a good debate unfortunately it was a bit one sided, that's why I thought a poll might get a better guage of opinion.
Hope you're in good form and that the Band is progressing well.

Cheers

Chris
