7x6andchg: A little dog with a very large penis - perhaps taking a leak on a bronze fire hydrant? 
awellhungboi: I love the idea of calling it 'the Grandpa' or 'the Finedessert award'. I think that's really sweet.
As for the trophy, how about an enormous winged phallus that spurts gold dust and is surrounded by adoring cherubs. You know, something tasteful.

Oh, Monstro - I hope you meant tasteful the same way I took it - because I am still laughing out loud...

I sometimes think Monstro and TWK are twin sons of different mothers.... I love dry humor!

But I had to register to vote in this poll. I have enjoyed posts by most of the top 25, particularly the ladies. There are some people with a real skill for using words and that makes the posts entertaining and readable. But I could vote for only one. My vote is cast and my reasoning is biased. Senor Meat's interview is what led me here in the first place and his posts are part of what keeps me reading. [/quote]

(Mh, dear Panthera, be it your way...)
Sooo... all right... BUT !! Only 28-30 votes... out of 12.000 members or so... shouldn't there be a quorum for this vote to be valid ? Or a quorum wouldn't be that important, as long as votes are expressed ? The winner will be the one having the 50%+1 majority of the votes, or - like in the UK's election system - will be the one "first-past-the-post" ?
Sheesh, democracy is complicated...
Jimbo: Sammygirly:
Actually being one of the most prolific posters does not necessarily mean that the QUALITY of the responses of the other LPSG'ers should not be judged any less important. In my opinion if you post just ONE response (or start a topic) that really helps someone, makes people think, brings some new information, etc., then you are in the spirit of the LPSG group, "special award" notwithstanding.
To select 15, 25, 50 or whatever of the most frequent posters then have us vote on THAT pre-selected group is unfairly biased on whether or not those particular posts by this chosen group happen to be revelent/important/interesting to the people voting. Also quite of few of the posts by the most frequent posters read more like internet chat, just agreeing, wisecracking, etc. and not really supporting the thread with any new information. Not saying this is bad, but it tends to distort the numbers.
A different way of doing this would be to vote on the topic/response that is the most informative/original, etc. and give the award to that poster. But whose "criteria" would we be using then? So to me any kind of award is this sort of forum is just about meaningless because it is almost impossible to quantify fairly. I also tend to believe that the most prolific also tend to be the ones who will be doing the most voting, and therefore not really representative of the LPSG membership at large.
I therefore cast my vote for keeping the spirit of the board open and "non-competitive". Frequent posters, seldom posters, lurkers, whatever...it's all good. I just don't want to put a damper on those contributors that may feel "left out" or feeling not as appreciated because of some arbitrary process. Would Grandpa really want this?

sammygirly: It is simply all in fun - and while I see your points, we are trying to keep it just as that. Some silly fun.
I absolutely agree that the most posts doesn't equal the best posts, and as pointed out - if this were a real honest-to-goodness bona fide vote we would nominate and not announce a winner until all had voted, all 11 000 members. It was impossible to list everyone, so I chose the top 25 posters as a simple criteria. Maybe from now on, we can nominate our preferences.
But it's not all that serious, it's silliness, in fun, not to be taken to heart.
Do I think Grandpa would have wanted to partake in this joviality? I bet you he would have been the first to come up with a name for the award...
We're not putting anyone down, we're boosting everyone up and commemorating someone we miss very dearly. There's no need to take offense, but reason to find the smile in the game - as that's what it is, more so than a competition for superb prizes. Albeit this is not what I intended when I posted the poll - I am enjoying the direction it's going in. The community feel of it.
That said - Go DMW! LoL

panthera what happened to "now i'll leave ... my job is done"? u r still posting so that means u r a what is the word? o yeah - LIAR.
its obvious by reading posts on the board that dmw has plenty of friends and supporters here. i highly suspect he has more friends than detracters. he dosent need to vote 4 hisself.
i voted 4 him cuz i seen him when i wuz in new orleans 4 mardi gras. he wuz the hottest dancer on stage and a hella nice guy when i met him after. he is the only board member i met in person and i wuz impressed. maybe if i met some other members i would be equally impressed but i havent.

aj2181: Well I voted for 7x6etc for pretty much the same reasons as monstro. He's a great guy, and I've never seen anything negative or nasty come from him.

Your grammar and spelling skills obviously didn't get you past the velvet rope... (Sorry, I couldn't resist.)
But hey, VA gets my vote for most original profile name on the group. Reading his name made me long for sneakers I wore when I was a little, little boy. We called 'em "boboes," if they weren't the latest Nike release.

gigantikok: Hmmm, I guess this is fun for some people that are getting votes. It's always nice to recieve self gratification, but hey, not everyone is getting voted for. Hope those of you that aren't getting as much attention are ok, I'd for you guys to feel worthless or insecure because you aren't winning a popularity contest.

Monstro, just don't tell me that a trophy styled in this manner would fit perfectly within the decor of your home.

And this was from the dude who wonders why we lurkers don't post? Could it be because of the warm reception like in the quote above? Screw it. I'll go back to lurking in the corner where nobody jumps on me for my suck-ass English.
