If you look at all the nominees for the past polls you will notice that they all have helped out a lot. We don't pickk just anyone and before the next poll comes out there is always a thread where people nominate people. So I am sorry if you feel that way...

I believe 3 out of the 5 people on your list are either hosting companies or provide hosting services.

one_web, how did you come out with the nominees? does that your own opinion, I'm quite confused since you're not a mod on this forum. Anybody care to explain it to me?

Anyway, I vote for Dektong for his posts and his beer.

Okay, so the nomination is gathered based on that thread. How about that *The member must NOT be a host nor a reseller. ?

SWR very true, as most people that frequent this board are hosts in my opinion. But I think that one_web should edit his post and delete the *The member must NOT be a host nor a reseller. Must be a regular user. Space and Bandwidth to be announce. Prize may change without notice. part as 3 of the 5 nominees are hosts, and are affiliated with hosting. I would have no problem voting for someone, but the disclaimer throws of the voting.

Edited because I was drunk.

I think what they mean is to claim that prize you can not be a host, but you can still be the winner. For obvious reasons, a host wouldn't need the prize of hosting.

read the thread. josephp is donating the hosting and those are his rules.

Cool, then can I take the prize on the winner's behalf? :D

Vote for me and be entered into a drawing for the free hosting prize since I can not have it anyway...
:stickout :D :stickout :D

please note, previous post was a joke....

:stickout :D :stickout :D Except you can't have the prize.
Although it's josephp's recipient restriction, it seems . . . . well . . . . restrictive.
I am a host. But I do have sites hosted by others. So, it's not like a host couldn't use some free hosting.
And, as someone eluded to earlier, there seems to be a lot of hosts that hang out around here.
So, the chances of someone winning "Member of the month" honors and not being a host are small indeed.

sesran, you are a marketing genius ;) hehe ok ok I know you are kidding :)

Hello,

Greetings to all of you. I will like to make a offical announcement in regarding the prize.

Yes, I made the rules becuase I felt it is right, the regular member should recieve the prize. However, if the winner is a host nor reseller, HE OR SHE CAN donate the prize to anyone of their choice upon agreement between me, the winner and the donation person.

Do I make myself all clear? I hope so :)

<edit: please get approval from matt before you post this>

Have a nice evening! :)

Cheers,
Joseph

Alright, post the special package and see how it goes!

Ok, I am no longer kidding......... :D

so how are you going to find out who voted for you? I voted for choon but I can say I voted for you...I would not do that but someone else might.


And josephp good luck with your new company. I wish you all the best.

REWDOG, REWDOG, REWDOG, REWDOG, REWDOG, REWDOG, REWDOG, REWDOG, REWDOG

Mean moderator butting in here...

As I think I mentioned before, please ask Matt for approval if the prize is going to be your hosting services. The whole thing is nice and all, but maybe this should be done in Related Offers/Requests, or Web Hosting Offers. Please just pass it by Mr. Matt if you are thinking of posting anything about your services in the Main forums, okie dokie pokey...

But Rewdog is a host. He owns www.emegaweb.net

Yeah, I'd ask some questions, too. Does WHT want to be associated with this? I mean, I've had my differences with the mods and all, but letting this type of thing stand in the face of the forum rules and this gem from the hostilizer site, come on.

"Consider, too, our newest data center—the latest in a series of advanced Web hosting complexes we're building around the world."

So, tell me what other data centers you've built "around the world" and when exactly you built this "newest one". :rolleyes:

That seems to be a bit off topic, but as a side note (again off topic, sorry), I've edited a post that I missed earlier. Overall, I think this is a nice thing and I don't want people to get the wrong impression that recognizing members is bad, just that if this sort of thing is going to happen in the main forums, maybe things like prizes should be donated to Matt (the forum), and he (or we) should somehow run this. Someone please contact him off forum and pick his noodle about it, just so this is fair to everyone.

Again, hate to be a moderator-like about this, especially when the intentions are so good, though maybe the prize could be world-wide recognition for the time being, until all of this is ironed out a bit more.

What if the prize is world peace? :) That would be real nice for everyone, not just those in this message board.

And the race is on...

Rewdog seems to be taking an early lead but wait here comes Dektong with the fast catch up, oh he looks like he really wants it. Choon, cperciva and Sesran seem to be staying close together but there not out of it yet folks.

Looking back Dektong and Rewdog are still neck and neck. They take the corner and Rewdog appears to pull one in front. Stay tune and we will continue exciting coverage of this race only on WHT!

I voted for: cperciva

cperciva is always helpful around here, replying to posts with facts..

well thats what i've noticed, not sure about you's..

:D

That's because I've been in University for too long... I've got too many facts bouncing around inside my head which I need to spew out somewhere. (Somewhere like a DPhil thesis. Eventually.)

So chicken...Should we ask Matt to come up with rules for these threads?

**starts to chant**

**first queitly then louder**

"rewdog, rewdog, Rewdog, REwdog, REWdog, REWDog, REWDOg, REWDOG,REWDOG,REWDOG,REWDOG,REWDOG,REWDOG,REWDOG,REWDOG,REWDOG,REWDOG,REWDOG,REWDOG,REWDOG,REWDOG,REWDOG,REWDOG,REWDOG,REWDOG,REWDOG,REWDOG,REWDOG,REW DOG,REWDOG,REWDOG,REWDOG,REWDOG,REWDOG,REWDOG,REWDOG,REWDOG,REWDOG,REWDOG,REWDOG,REWDOG,REWDOG,REWDOG,REWDOG,REWDOG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

yall know who I voted for

Yes, if you don't mind. What I'm thinking is that the prize should be somewhat standard, like 1 yr. hosting 50 MB/2GB transfer or something like that, donated by various hosts. I don't have a problem with the co. name being attached to the prize (as that's pretty standard in any type of donated prize contest-type thingy).

As I said, members recognizing members is a great idea, and a nice touch. I think some parameters wouldn't be a bad thing. It is hard for us to run it as quite honestly, there are so many members here who take time to help people that I really don't know if I could pick one, but I suppose we could try. There are a lot of great people here.

Well I have emailed the master he should be getting to it as soon as he cans. Let's see what he says.

and the race countines

As they come around the final stretch Rewdog and Dektong are still neck and neck with Rewdog pulling out only 1 point in front. The others have kept with their steady pace and maintain to be only 3 points behind, who knows it's still anybody's game.

Any updates?

nov end is near, what we should do?

Just curious

Thanks

matt hasnt emailed me yet. maybe sunday

one_web,

Please keep me updated, use the mail icon if you need to reach me

Thanks :)

close race :D

Wow, sesran came back! We have got a race on our hands.

Let me help rewdog break the tie. :stickout

:stickout I want to vote for Dektong too, but it won't let me. :stickout

Have you already voted. It is possible the poll has been shut down.

I voted for rewdog.

I guess it only let me vote one time.

:stickout

Yes, I voted for Rewdog too. Of course it shuts down after 1 vote. If it let you vote more than once then it wouldn't really be a vote.

I wonder who will break the tie between rewdog and dektong. :stickout

Just 15 minutes ago Dektong was in the lead

CHOON
CHOON
CHOON

I'm rewdog's 11th vote.

I guess I created that tie. :stickout

I think I need to do another race update.

lol, thanks asia ;)

Ugh ... I can easily break that tie by voting for myself now :D

cheers to all,
:beer:

The tie has been broken.... Yippieeeeeee!!

What a comeback!

*whistles* oh... so that's what those dots and the button combined do! :D

matt has not relpied. I guess he didnt check his mail today. well we should wait and see.

im all for rewdog

Jim

What is with Sesran's comeback?

Everybody likes Sesran. THis has actually been really close between all of us.

Boy, this is a hot debate eh?

I hope no other recount :emlaugh: :emlaugh: :emlaugh:

2 more days before the poll closes and Matt has not said anything yet. Chicken can you please try to talk to him. I have emailed him but he never replied

That would just be unfair, as many hosts and resellers are the true "live" of this forum

I can think of people like cbaker17, akashik, jag, jay or JBIZ718 (yes .. even Joe) .. that deserve sutch a nomination just for their help in the forums :)

But today my vote goes to Sesran :stickout

Ahhhhhh ;) I feel special... Thanks Carlos.

And I do agree there are many people on WHT that deserve mention, even Joe.

Well we can add them for next month. The prize thing is up to who ever is willing to donate it. Last month we didnt have a prize so I guess we should not give any more prizes if people don't like it then.

I think the only prize needed would be the recognition. I would even like to make a page with the winners name, Member of the month and have Matt put a link to it up in the top and we can keep that page up all month long.

That is a great idea. Rewdog made a nice winner gif last month I think we can create one for all the winners and place it on the site.

We should have a custom member title for the winner for that month. Like: Coolest Addict

or something like that.

Jim

I completely agree, no need for monetary prizes. This is all in fun anyway, and the recognition is better than any prize would be.

Well, what happens next?

I can give the prize but looks like Matt might dont like or I do not know

Please keep me updated


Thank you

boy I was left in the dust :D Maybe next month.

I think I won!! Oh my God... I would like to thank everyone who voted for me, WHT, Chicken, and everyone else. Ok, so who are the nominees for next month?

congrats to sesran :beer:

Cool, have you received the prize? :laugh:

What I lost?? :D :nuts: :D

Way 2 go Sesran! Congtratz :stickout:

cheers,
:beer:

And the WHT November Member of the Month is Sesran with 33.85% of the votes, the second place goes to Dektong with 27.69% and the third place goes to Rewdog with 20.00%. Congratulations to the winners. We will have to wait until Matt says something about the prize. In the meantime please everyone let me know who you think should be nominated to be the December member of the month.

Thanks to all the voters.

Go Sesran, Dektong and Rewdog!!!

:agree: congrats :D

Congratulations Sesran :beer:

Rewdog made this for me last month.
I changed it for this month's winner.

hehehe, you beat me to it SWR, nice job.

Guess I shoulda waited a few more minutes :rolleyes:

But, I'm a little miffed at WHT today. :(
So I had to do something constructive. Hope you didn't mind me using your design. ;)

No prob :)

nope, not notification, i got back to you though :)

Thanks All. I like that Image too... LOL We should make a page and keep all the images on there for each month, then maybe at the end of the year have a member of the year vote with all 12 winners.
:D ;) :cool: :cartman: :stickout
If I am awarded the prize, I will give it away to a non-host member doing a free raffle type of auction, assuming the owner of the prize agrees.

I wonder if you can vote for yourself??:stickout

I gues that means I can't give the prize?
