I really like what I have seen so far at Sciforums. Really good posts on occassion. Some of the posts are awesome. I also like the tee shirt, coffee mug ideas, ect.. too. I'm gonna get one real soon!
This is a wild collection of people that you have here. I've been a member on many other discussion forums, but they are nothing compared to this collection of mis-fitted, ill mannered, and generally crazy group of party animals that are at Sciforums. I mean that in a good way, because the best ideas always come from the very same people that you have here. They are wild and I love it!
<b>What I want to suggest is a <i>Sciforums competition.</i></b>
I see that there are many different forums and that alot of the different members tend to post in specific areas that they are particularly interested in, or feel comfortable with.
So what if a contest were to be held on a quarterly basis (every 3 months) so as to award a Sciforums prize to the best poster?
It would seem that the best way to judge such a competition would be to have the moderators to <b>choose</b> the best posts in their respective forums, during each three month period (quarter). These (moderators) would submit their choices in an email to the administrator. <b>(Note: Moderators cannot be contestants).</b>
From this, the Administrator could review these few selected posts and announce a winner. This would seem appropriate, since it is the Administrator who set up the various forums initially. By that, I mean to say that the administrator has a good background in the various forums, since he is the one who decided which one's to put on his discussion forum to begin with.
<b>Awarding of a prize</b>
Email (or PM) from the Administrator to Sciforums Winner. Winner could supply necessary mailing information, and (or) postage if necessary.
Personally, I would like to have a <i>Sciforums coffee mug</i>
I think that such a competition would have a very positive effect.
<font size="2">Thanks porfiry, for being the host of a truly great discussion forum, which is Unparalleled by all others. I'm sure that all the members at Sciforums will agree with this statement that I have made and they ought to post on this thread and say so! (You probably already know that the members are grateful, but it wouldn't hurt to hear it from them, on occassion)</font size>
