    2009 U.S. Politics Online Annual Awards


    Yay! It's that time of the year again (well, it's kind of past that time of the year, but you get the idea)!! Everyone is encouraged to submit nominees for the following categories:

    1.) Best Signature
    2.) Best Avatar (Both this and signatures do change so you can vote for a past one)
    3.) Poster who uses most analogies
    4.) Poster who uses most links
    5.) Most active poster
    6.) Funniest poster
    7.) Poster who gets their point across with the fewest words
    8.) Most diplomatic poster
    9.) Most helpful/considerate poster
    10.) Poster most likely to change your mind about something
    11.) Most informative poster
    12.) Most spiritual poster (not necessarily Religious)
    13.) Most optimistic poster
    14.) Poster everyone seems to like
    15.) Poster you would most like to have a beer with
    16.) Most rational poster
    17.) Poster that starts the most interesting threads
    18.) Most patriotic poster
    19.) Rookie of the Year (must have registered between 10/2007 and 10/2008)
    20.) Most Respected Conservative Poster
    21.) Most Respected Liberal Poster
    22.) Favorite thread (funny, content, whatever reason)
    23.) Poster most likely to be a computer macro
    24.) USPO Staff Member of the Year (no nominations, all will be listed in the final vote)
    25.) US Politics Online Poster of the Year (this is for the best all rounder, someone who epitomizes all that’s good about the forum)

    Here's how to submit: Private Message your nominations to any of the following moderators (please only submit them to one, though, to help us avoid confusion):

    CYDdharta
    drgoodtrips
    iamwhatiseem
    Imperator
    Malvolio
    MattLarson
    noahath
    partofme
    Speakeasy

    The last day nominations will be accepted is Sunday, March 1st (EXTENDED TO SUNDAY, MARCH 8th), which gives everyone 10 full days to get everything into us. The top three nominees for each category will then be put up for vote for an additional 10 days and then the winners will be announced.

    If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them here. Good luck, everyone!

    I'm not sure the dates for "rookie of the year" look right...

    About damn time!

    courage the greater, as our might fails."

    I am a liberal, a classical liberal. Classical liberalism is liberalism, but the current collectivists have captured that designation in the United States. In Europe they are glad enough to call themselves socialists. But no one in America wants to be called socialist and admit what they are.

    Everyone kindly pick your favorite counting rhyme so we're not all sending our submissions to the first moderator on the list.

    There needs to be a category for "Poster most classifiable as batshit insane"

    That category already exists under a different name.
