Popular Post fangless Posted September 24, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted September 24, 2020 (edited) Since POTY (Poster Of The Year) seems to have become too toxic to hold again why not have a bunch of fun awards for things in the past year like Topic Of The Year" (TOTY) in all it's various potential categories e.g.; Most Appropriate Response/Post (MAROTY)/(MAPOTY) Funniest Post/Response (FUPOTY)/(FUROTY) Stupidest etc, etc. Any ideas I would suggest that any posts made after this post would not qualify for anything! except ridicule! Which I expect this post to get anyway! Edited September 24, 2020 by fangless 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PS; Sorry for the "copy and paste above but I don't know how to do a "formal" quote from a closed topic, the system does not seem to allow it It should be sad if there is no POTY this year and i don't agree at all with Rimmer opinion (Is it allowed to disagree with a moderator opinion?) what about a public poll on the forun about do you want POTY again or not? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThaidDown Posted September 26, 2020 Share Posted September 26, 2020 The POTY designation should definitely be kept but just let it stand for 'Plonker Of The Year' . Plenty of possible candidates. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post simon43 Posted September 26, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted September 26, 2020 So what was the problem with POTY? Seems that being a pathetic snowflake can afflict all ages. I think Yinn is a great POTY. because 'sticks and stones' etc. Some people are too damn sensitive...... 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
