Temple of Kraden News: Welcome to the Temple of Kraden! ------ All worshipers may enter the Most Holy Place in single file, reflecting on the bountiful blessing Kraden hath provided unto him or herself since their last visit. Head coverings are not necessary, as true penitence and humility are found within. The Priests and Priestesses of Kraden endeavor to remind all that fresh orange juice is heavily preferred; only whores use frozen.
Greetings, heathen. Perhaps some fortuitous blessing of Kraden's grace hath led you to our humble Temple, or perhaps you are simply curious about this strange and wonderful cult. Should you be willing - and dare to hope - to achieve enlightenment, the door opens before you. Lo! Leave your old life behind! For once you step through, you become something more than just yourself.

You become a Kradenette.

Are you willing to make the rapturous plunge? Do you have what it takes?

I see no reason why to particularly disqualify Computer Boom, unless people wish to attach a "Best Topic of 2015" restriction to that one as well. Personally, I'd be okay with that, but it's up to what people think.

Last year we scrapped the "cannot win twice" restriction, just because there's so many more options compared to what the list was at first, and it's been so long, that repeat winners tend to be fairly unlikely. If people are still the most likely to win, then that's what it'll be.

I'm not sure what you mean, Solbowz. Are you saying that "Yes, it's for 2015, make it so," or "no, it's only the board awards for 2015, it shouldn't need to be explicitly said." Can you clarify?

In the board awards for 2015 only topics that saw activity in 2015 (or 2016 before the board awards) should qualify. I wouldn't go so far as to limit it only to topics created in 2015 or January (but if that's something people wanted I wouldn't be against it, because what's the point in having these annually if you let topics or users that haven't been significant in the past year qualify), so I don't necessarily think their should be any restrictions in place. Three posts doesn't really qualify as a lot of activity though so I'm just saying why I wouldn't nom/vote for it personally.

Do you think that should extend to "users who were active in 2015 at least" as well, when it comes to user-category awards?

I think it should apply to all the awards. There's never been anything officially indicating one way or the other but that's the way I've always tried to approach voting.

I agree. The idea behind annual awards is that you look at the things that have happened in the past year and judge from that.

I don't think it needs to be a hard line, but things that were very clearly not in the past year shouldn't be considered. As amazing as Computer Boom is, it's dumb just having it win multiple years, and that logic applies more or less to every category.

Solbowz and HJ make good points. And Most Thirsty is still a dumb award.

As for the topic Nell mentioned, boop.

I think Nell was referring to a place to log all possible Best Post contenders throughout the year, rather than people having to remember them all at the end of the Board Awards cycle.
Anyway, that's it for the discussion time! I guess you have a bit of time to give last minute feedback, but I hereby declare myself free of obligation to respond 8)

I'll launch nominations tomorrow! Look forward to it!

Alas for the Good Old Days of 2007 Temple where spamming was king and milk and honey flowed freely from every orifice. Oh, if only we were back then in those halcyon days instead of now where everything is a wasteland of unfunniness and drama. Woe is me, alas and alack! If only more people read Old Topics and respected Vintage Memes. But now it's only shitposting and everything is ruined forever. *carves a D into the topic and vanishes*

This Post was Reported for Identity Theft and now Regrettably we must Inform you that you must go to Prison
I'm glad to see this forum takes such incredible crimes so seriously.
Alas for the Bright, Shining New Future that is constantly quashed by the powers that be! Powers who arrest for noble nonexisting copyright infringement, exposing them for the rotten autocratic anachronistic mess that which they are! Alas for the world in which Kraden's revolutionary optimism and warmhearted intellectualism triumphs over the present paradigm of unfairness and trauma! Wow is hegemonic establishment, alas and alack! If only more people believed in the Almighty's original teachings — that we are born scholars and sages, sacred heirs of Kraden — then we could create a marvelous sanctuary unlike any the internet, nay, the world, has ever known! (Or something alone those lines.)

"Shinning," you say? Methinks you may have an extra letter there.

Naturally, petty editorial issues abound when one averages over 100 words per forum post.

Moreover, the Void Commune lacks paid proofreaders. All already downtrodden volunteers working on the margins of Temple society.

Normally, my mistakes come in the form of word omissions -- which I tend to catch and correct multiple times minutes after publishing my posts --, but this is the first time in a long time that I have run into a spelling error!

You also missed "Wow is hegemonic establishment", though.

Much fascist. So oppression. Very wow.
