Fellow Members of WebHostingTalk, the time has come again to nominate those we think deserve the honor. To those of you who do not know what this is all about:

Each month, we (participating members of the community) get together and nominate members we think should be acknowledged. The members do not have to be hosts, they may be customers also. It is a two part process - nominations and voting. The 5 members with the highest number of nominations will go on to the final voting, from which we will vote on the one member we think should be acknowledge as the Member of the Month for that given month. This member will receive the prize announced and (thanks to Reptilian Feline) a "certificate" that will be posted on WHT. Prizes come from donations by the community so please donate :).

Below are the rules for April 2003.

These rules will be posted in every nomination thread as they are subject to change from month to month:

Note: There is no more limit of 1 nomination per member:)

- Members may not nominate themselves.
- Members are allowed to make only three nominations per month.
- Only members who have registered prior to the given month are eligible. (Registered Date Must be March 31st, or earlier.
- Moderators are not eligible (Any moderators added after April 15th are still eligible)
- Members who have won in the previously in the same year (2002 excluded) are not eligible for nomination in the current month. Currently, this includes SoftWareRevue, Vito, Yupapa and UH-Matt.
- In the event of a tie, no prize will be issued.
- Nominations will normally begin on the final Wednesday of a month, and end 7 days thereafter, or when the nomination thread is closed (whichever comes first).
- Voting will begin on the day after the nomination period ends, and will last for 7 days, or when the poll is closed (whichever comes first).
- A Nomination must include the following:
+ MemberName with link to profile
+ Reason for nomination (and not just (s)he makes me laugh)
+ (optional) link to specific post(s)/thread(s) that are worth mentioning.

That being said, let's get on to prize information :)

Currently we have $40 in the WHT MOTM fund available for prizes. If you would like to donate a prize or give me ideas for prizes, please PM or email me.

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

Now that's all outta the way....on with the nominations :D


Note: The Owners/Other Moderators/Administrators of WHT are in no involved in this. This is being coordinated by me, with the help of other forum members, in an effort to improve the quality of the community and give recognition where it is deserved. If you have any problems/questions/concerns, please email or PM me :)

I nominate Is0lized because he's always humorous, but not only that he has helped me greatly and I am sure he has helped others as well.

I nominate "mcdesign" because he has managed to help quite a few people, as well as give me and get me some work.

He doesn't only care about himself, he tries to help others succeed also.

Chicken!

Profile link: http://www.webhostingtalk.com/member.php?s=&action=getinfo&userid=130
He hasn't been here much recently but has been here for such as long time and deserves MOTM more than anyone else in my honest opinion. :)

Chicken. Definitely. Even though he's now gone, he's been extremely valuable to this community. WHT wouldn't have been...what it used to be...without Chicken's hard work.

Profile link:

(check that out...user id 130, and WHT now has how many members?!??)

Chicken -- http://www.webhostingtalk.com/member.php?s=&action=getinfo&userid=130

Don't need a reason, you should know!

Who is the Chicken person??

Chicken - http://www.webhostingtalk.com/member.php?s=&action=getinfo&userid=130

For always being there to clean situations up.. it's due time he gets some recognition.

Chicken

Chicken.....No question about it. He truly made WHT a better place. He was greatly involved in the forums and it was sad to see him go, but I think we should pay him respect in honor of his dedicated and time put to WHT by giving him MOTM....better yet...MOTY :D

Lets face it, the feathered one has it in the bag - raising the wing for Chicken as well.

Greg Moore

I have a bad memory, mcdesign, how did i help you?

I also 20th Chicken, he spent alot of time here and put alot of work into it

Yep might well end the voting now and give the chicken his due. I feel bad for whoever is up against him in the voting! It will be a Mondale style stomping! :D

Chicken

Chicken

Chicken. Even though he has not been around a lot, but every time he come with a visit - the value of that visit is just enormous. He is holding the professional level of this community high.

Adding two more nominations:

Chicken Wings
ChickenFart

Let the fight begin! :)

Chicken!

Just stop voting now and give it to him by default. The guys deserves it.

Editing to add 2 more nominations

Chicken

Head surfer

It's really unfair to force someone to run against Chicken.

Chicken: 531
Other: 2

hmmm . . . .

Thinking of who I would like to embarass by nominating. :D

Chicken !

I REALLY wanted to nominate Annette (she actually posted this month) but i think i'll save her and deb until next month...remember, everyone gets THREE nominations now, so if you said only chicken, go back and add two more ;)

Well, to be fair to other members (and I really had a couple I wanted to nominate), I'd like to nominate.

1. Chicken

2. Chicken

3. Chicken

I was going to nominate Lesli again, but it looks like it will be a one horse race with the chook...so I will leave her till next month.

Just give the chook his prize now :stickout:

yeah I'm holding offf on my others till next month. No one could beat chicken ... no point of trying, he deserves it anyways ...

Chicken :D

Hey thanks all! I've seen these things every month (-ish) and have gotten used to the idea that I wasn't eligible and it is rather surprising to see this, heh.

Thank you (again) for the nominations and (again), the kind words in this thread (http://webhostingtalk.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=126323). I only helped out around here as much as I could for you, and for the good of the community, never wanted to sell you anything or had alterior motives, heh, and although no thanks, kind words, nominations, etc., are needed, it sure is nice to read and made my day! I shall go off to work with a smile :D

I've been quite busy with HHO, but do try to stop in and see how everyone is doing, catch up with the latest news, and help out the current mods (by PM) whenever asked. Hopefully will get a bit more time to read once I get a few more things done. I do have this urge to try to build a deck (even got a book!). Might need some virtual help on that one :D

Take care...

Building decks for dummies? :eek: :D

Close, a Home Depot Outdoor Projects book! Step by step on how to spend a whole lot of money, get 1/2 way done, then hire a contractor (my guess)!

I nominate Chicken too....three times!

Chicken!

Then also go vote for him here too.
Forum-Forum does monthly interviews of prominent people in and around forums. This month Chicken is one of the nominees.

Would you guys be interested in doing MOTM Squared? Combine Member of the month and moderator of the month?

Ha...it's chicken...

Chicken.

Chicken x 3.... Mmmmmm KFC chicken :stickout:

Cluck Cluck BAKAA
Da Chicken times 3 :D

tazzy x 3 :D

http://www.webhostingtalk.com/member.php?s=&action=getinfo&userid=17525

:banana:

:crazy:

Chicken.

Chicken of course!
Tazzy for being nice.
Darth for being funny.

Sorry... wanted to put in three names, when the only one I can give a reason for off hand, is Chicken. There are so many reasons why I nominate Chicken, and some of them have already been mentioned before.

Reptilian Feline!! :(

Poor Darth. :(

Well, at least you were nominated. :)



Of course, you will likely be remembered more for losing by biggest margin ever in the history (or future) of WHT MOTM.



Poor poor Darth.






:D

Haha if darth gets one more he beats me! So I nominate Darth as my second! And my third?! oh what the heck..... CHICKEN!

Chicken and Darth. Just cause I want to see the end voting for poor poor Darth... :fork:

anymore nominations???

and how about some prize suggestions??

Prize... maybe some software that are useful, or maybe an ad here?

If I should happen to be nominated... and win, I somehow doubt Robert would go for a banner ad for HostHideout ;) :D



...but I'd take it if awarded of course!

How about a years supply of KFC :D

I'm saving my nomination for next month. I think this one is pretty well wrapped.

Would Chicken... erm, I mean... whoever wins be interested in a vBulletin template? Perhaps one of those could be bought for him.

Boo, i was nominated but i'll loose if i am put up ;)

I don't want to be a month of the member anyways, too much responsibility..


Give chicken cash!

http://www.cafeshops.com/yogini.1597351

PERFECT! :D

Haha, that is great

Turkey!


*no one laughs*

If I understand those *darn* timezones the nominations are soon to be counted.

Well, maybe a DVD of "Chicken Run".
Or maybe this - http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=3607033264&category=850

Haha, that is great too.

Maybe the answer to why the chicken crossed the road?

Last call! :D

Voting thread comes tonight ;)


still need some suggestions for Chicken's prize :D

His prize could be one of those rubber chickens:

Hopefully akash don't mind.

You just didn't start it like his. . . . with all the rules and disclaimers and purty colors. :)

It's just the voting bit. Didn't think the rules were needed there.

Oh yeh . . . .. it's his Nomination thingies with all the lights and colors. :blush:

Thank you Darth and Reptilian Feline for voting for me. I didn't notice until I went to vote. I thought "oh no", or there abouts ;). Not the time to get voted really but oh well if your going to lose best lose to someone who everyone knows is going to win ;)

But I have 1 vote and i'm happy and it wasn't me..... :gthumb:

Thanks RF :beer:

If you ahven't noticed - I haven't been around here lately - only long enough to read my PMs ;)

Sorry about the delay - but my outside life is paging me ;)

Can I nominate myself? :-)
