    Member Recognition Awards?

    Every year, our mountain bike sister site, Mtbr.com, has something called the Grimy Awards. They're informal (and irreverent) awards based on a survey posted on the forums there. I was thinking this might be something you guys would like, too. I would like it.

    But someone has to step up and make it happen. That means making a questionaire, posting it, collecting and tabulating the results, and naming the winners (and losers).

    Anyone willing to take this on?

    Fair enough?

    Re: Member Recognition Awards?

    Yeah, my email is listed properly.
    But for some reason I don't get much, from here as far as PM notices and what not.
    So email me at mtbbrian at mtbbrian dot com
    PM's are OK too, but email is preffered.

    I know its a new feature on PR, but you might want to think about a best blog category. If not this year, then it is definitely something to think about next year.

    Dually noted!
    Let's hope that this takes off like it has on mtbr.
    Then we'll consider adding a new category.
    So come on and vote!

    Gotta think on that one...

    Actually I'm going to have to think on all of these - are we talking about funniest/favorite/cutest from all of 2006? That's a lot of shots! What's the easiest way to search for them?
