I thought this might be a cool, fun, and morale-boosting thing to start! Members could e-mail moderators (erzulie & ouchy) with nominations (Moderators would not be eligible.) for "Member of the Month." Moderators would compile names and create a poll of the top candidates (up to 8 names), and members could vote for their favorite candidate. Moderators could then e-mail Carolyn (admin), and she could change the stars and title under member name for a month. Following moth--same thing, different winner. What do you guys think?

Hey, I think it could be fun! I don't know what we would do for the winner besides make a thread in her honor. It seems like the winner should get something, but I don't think we're high-tech enough--or rich enough--to go that far.

Wait I've thought of something! We could make little badges that people could put in their profiles, either for their avatar or in their signatures, that say "Member of the month February 2007" or something like that. I would be happy to make and upload the badges, since i love playing around with pictures, and all we would have to do is give the URL of the picture to the person it was for and tell her how to put in her her profile if she didn't know how. It's pretty simple to do so even the most technogocially-challenged among us should be able to do it with no problem. I think it would be kind of fun, and a nice way to honor our more active members.

It would be fun, and a nice way to pat each other on the back too. Like saying well done for you positivity/proactive manner/strength and courage in dealing with your own personal garden weed problem!

Sounds like fun to me. And hey.. why not? If none of us have anything else good going on, the fact that hey, "winning member of the month" can at least be a positive thing to each of us.

Well, looks to me like people approve of this idea! You can go ahead and send your nominations by private message to ouchy and me so we can choose a Member of the Month for February! I expect everyone who is nominated will make it eventually, just it might take a few months in some cases since we can only do one person at a time! When you send your nomination please include your reason for nominating that person so we can tell the person why they got the award. Also let us know if you wish to remain anonymous or not.

Do you think we should do it as a poll? I would kind of hate to make it look like an election. People might have trouble choosing and if one person does win by a landslide imagine how that might make the other person/people feel! I thought maybe we could just make a list of the nominations we receive in the order we receive them and go down the list, or something like that. I think whoever gets nominated should get it at some point.

Cool idea. For the winner what if you gave them a customized avatar? Or something that shows under their name? Just a thought...

"Wait I've thought of something!
