OK if you must have competitions but...posters of the month?
Let's be honest, sadie never posts here, beez sometimes.
Give Ben Lomond or riotgirl a go. At least they put in an appearance.
Or pumpkinette. She posts regularly.
JMO.

Blimey, gabriel, when I said I wouldn't be voting for someone because she had only posted one in the past month, I got all kinds of brickbats slung at me!
But sadie has posted a lot - I've just checked her history!
The board has gone awfully quiet though, hasn't it?

But sadie has posted a lot - I've just checked her history! The board has gone awfully quiet though, hasn't it? sadie's been posting a lot? Here? But you're right. And I think I know why this board has become very quiet. And it shouldn't be. Look at the people who have been posted best of breed in the last 6 months. Jean. Mouse. Beth. And they contribute how much? And sadie is a GM. I'm sorry but I see her posting way less than you say. I have to admit anna does post. There are some posters on here who have allegiances to other sites. I think we need to have a major drive for posters and not those who post on other sites. Because they have other agendas. Come on. It's true.

Sorry, that one about sadie posting here lots of times isn't right.
Hi sadie! How are you!
Bet she doesn't reply..
There are a lot of people posing as posters here who aren't dead set posters.
We need a weed eater to troll through them.
Then. If you're not serious. Goodbye.
JMO.

What does it matter how often a poster has posted in the last month, as we are not voting for the poster of the preceding month. If the poster of a particular month was being voted for during the first week of the next month then that might matter, but we do not we vote for the month in advance, and as we cannot know in advance who the poster of that month will be, I interpret these things as just a kind of 'recognition' of a particular poster and nothing more. I'd vote for Skylark.

Blimey, gabriel, when I said I wouldn't be voting for someone because she had only posted one in the past month, I got all kinds of brickbats slung at me! But sadie has posted a lot - I've just checked her history! The board has gone awfully quiet though, hasn't it? I was the victim of a fire in February of this year. I can only imagine the HELL the other victims have gone through! There were at least 6 apartments involved, including mine. I had the LEAST damage and it's been a LOT OF HELL ever since. I had to move with almost no notice, do a lot of the cleanup from the water damage, etc. I'm STILL pulling out of the financial hole the whole thing has cost me. TO THIS DAY, whoever was ultimately responsible hasn't said a WORD of apology to me or the other victims that I know of. I've reached a dead end as far as knowing the ORIGINAL cause of the fire also unless I get a lawyer involved. Someting I DO KNOW for sure is that evil neglect of a person with Alzheimer's disease kept the fire GOING once it STARTED and kept it SPREADING to at least 6 other apartments. Isn't neglect just WONDERFUL? Anyway, these are the reasons I haven't been here as much as I'd like to be. I HATE IT! There's another board I've committed to no matter what's going on and I'm able to keep up there, thank God. But, other boards like this 1 I don't have that commitment to, not a fraction as much as I'd like to since the fire. Unfortunately, sometimes stuff happens we have NOTHING to do with that causes us to be away, not post as much, etc. I just wanted to point that out. Sometimes we really don't KNOW FOR SURE what all people are going through to keep them from posting. Let's not ASS-ume the worst about anyone when they don't post as much, please! Thanks for listening.

Quality is as important as quality.
By the way, if anyone is unhappy about ANY aspects of this site PLEASE just PM me or one of my staff.
The MOM nominations thread is NOT the right place to raise criticisms of other members.
Thank you.
All I will say is that it is ALWAYS a difficult choice to decide who should be the MOM and that's because we have so MANY good ones - NOT because we have so FEW!

If I haven't read anything by a poster for some time, it is not a criticism of them. It is just that I personally don't see how I can vote for them, any more than a teacher can mark a student who hasn't been off sick from school all term. Not so strange, surely?
Pumpikinette, I am so sorry about the fire. That sounds really terrible and I can quite understand why you want to post on boards where you feel comfortable - however I'd just like to say you are in my thoughts.

Skylark, ANY member is entitled to nominate and vote for who they like.
I broadly agree that the MOM award should more or less reflect contributions.
On the other hand, I also like it when people who've NOT won it before get their turn at it.
Like I said, this thread is NOT the right place to criticise other posters. I wasn't talking about ANYONE in particular and certainly NOT you, Skylark!

Gabriel, I prefer not to be considered for the MOM contest.
Also, I have not been posting ANYWHERE as much as I have taken on a rew role at work and am considerably busier as a result.
I post on several other boards, a couple a bit like this one, the others hobby or friendship boards. I honestly don't get what the accusations about people posting on other boards is all about. Certainly I don't bring agendas over.
Or maybe sometimes . . .here's a hug for you all from the Stub. X
