The "Best of 2008" Voting????

[Derek Scootz]

I dont really remember doing this last year so I have some questions...
1. when does it start?
2. mods/admins only vote or everyone votes?
3. how are nominees chosen?
4. is there going to be any new categories this year?
5. deadline for voting once it starts?

 

[Nate Grant]

1. usually dec 31st/jan 1st
2. everyone votes
3. everone nomiates a certain ammount of people, and the ones with the most nominations are picked
4. idk
5. last year it was a week i believe

-------------------------------------------------

ATTN: PLEASE LOOK IN THE MEDIA SECTION LOOKING FOR VIDEOS FROM 2008 THAT ARE GOOOOOOOOD AND NOMINATE THEM. Otherwise people will nominate the videos that they have seen in the past 3 weeks and makes the whole "video of the YEAR" thing pointless.

-------------------------------------------------

Last year there was a separate section that only admins could start threads and reply, and members could only vote and not reply?

Skim through media section for good videos from all over 2008,
otherwise people will nominate videos that they had seen in the past 3 weeks.

 

[Hep Greg]

haha jesus.. i really dont wanna do that right now. i think i'll save it for the trip back up to NY.

 

[Jordan Jasa]

waittt are you saying the mods are nominated best videos?

when are we gonna start this? no reason to wait anymore.

 

[Madis]

waittt are you saying the mods are nominated best videos?

You reckon we'd let random members (even those who have joined in mid-2008) nominate videos that they have viewed in the past 3-4 weeks that they can remember? No way, Jose. That way we are losing the whole point of the "video of the YEAR".

Good work so far, Jordan

Dissidence videos are late ones.

Dylan's mini is from Nov 2007, i remember him being nominated for best trick (900 to fakie) which was in the same video.

oh no you dont. No e-mails. We're probably gonna do same as last year: separate forum filled with poll-threads.
