Really? I blame it on the Hollywood writers' strike.

What if we have a nominations thread this year that runs all year so people can nominate as things happen on the board?  That would give more options (possibly too many) and more people might be inclined to vote at the end of the year.  It could logistically be tough with this board setup, but might be easier in the end if the nominations thread had rules like:  Only one reply per member (edit post to add nominations), nominations are limit to # per category, nominations end on (date), etc.    Then at the end of the year it would simply be a matter of copy and paste to make the awards thread.  Maybe even by then SMF and/or the FF might be updated to include multiple polls in a thread.  What do you guys think?

That sounds like a good idea-- except that I don't think we should limit the votes following the nominations over the year TO the nominations. The nominations system was developed in mind with making the votes afterward easier. People who post once in a 2008 Pre-Poster Awards thread might have something they'd want to nominate later on, which means... they could edit their post... You know what?! I think it's a great idea! It would make both voting and nominating easier! So forget what I said at the beginning of this post.

In the meantime, the certificates for this year will be finished any hour now.

The only problem I see is that everything anyone would vote for would get nominated, and there would be so many nominations that it would be like there were never nominations at all. I'm just saying...

But then again, my input shouldn't matter anymore.

Not if there were a nomination limit.  Then each person would need to assess which nominations to hold onto upon reaching the limit, prioritizing to the top 3 or 5 or whatever.  And then the final nominations are counted only once it's time again.

I'm liking the idea of a running nomination system.  Years generally run pretty long, and a lot of things are forgotten by the end...

Who cares about amount of nominations? I think it would be EXACTLY the same as the past Winter ADVANCED Poster Awards, and the only difference is this time, the vote-worthy stuff is all in one spot (the "nomination" thread) instead of all over the site. Then the FINAL votes can be cast from stuff put in the thread. No nomination stage.

That's what I was thinking. People don't need to have a single list of nominations to make their votes, especially when the nominations are all out there.

However, you might consider that the supposed "nominations round" would take place over the course of a year.

I think Suffix and I are on the right page. I approve of the idea.
