[Wally The Barber]

First, let me say I am honored to be selected, oh wait a minute, I didn't get any votes.

I am not going to make any excuses, but.......

I was out 6 weeks with broken fingertips

I will rehab and come back next year.

You try it, its pretty hard to type with your toes.

[Michael82]

Wow, what an honor to tie Jan Riemers for biggest Bills fan. Thanks for all the votes, everyone! :up:

[BillsWin]

Oh well... maybe next year. I'll just have to be more argumentative.

The best part is that the annual "Thurmys" are now officially over.

[X-Era]

I will rehab and come back next year.

You try it, its pretty hard to type with your toes.

Until you get tons of fame an popularity around here, you might as well forget it.

Good news is, there's always next year when we can simply hat pick the same names.

[TigerJ]

Congrats to all the winners!

[Dude]

Until you get tons of fame an popularity around here, you might as well forget it.

Good news is, there's always next year when we can simply hat pick the same names.Everyone is eligible to be nominated. :up:

[X-Era]

Everyone is eligible to be nominated. :up:

Im aware... its simply a recycling of the same names every year.

[Dude]

So nominate someone different.

[Jan Reimers]

Wow, what an honor to tie Jan Riemers for biggest Bills fan. Thanks for all the votes, everyone! :up:
I feel the same way about tying you, Mike. Congrats to all the winners, and thanks to all the voters.

[Wally The Barber]

Until you get tons of fame an popularity around here, you might as well forget it.

Good news is, there's always next year when we can simply hat pick the same names.

But I was so close this year, I almost got 1 vote.

[Luisito23]

Congrats to those who won, sorry didn't vote....PS....Thurm...:negrep:

[billsfanone]

thrum is not a whiner!

[X-Era]

So nominate someone different.

Really? Really man? Are you going to try to convince me that anyone other than the main people who are the most well known have any real shot at any of these awards?

:rolleyes:

Its a popularity contest and the same (most popular) choices win every year.

Who cares. It doesnt matter any really... Its a simple observation.

[X-Era]

But I was so close this year, I almost got 1 vote.

I will vote for you next year!

But, you still wont win

[yordad]

Congratulation yall!

[Michael82]

I feel the same way about tying you, Mike. Congrats to all the winners, and thanks to all the voters.
Thanks man! :up:

Did you actually nominate or even vote for anybody?

Most of it is a popularity contest but there's no reason to cry about it. Besides, if everyone knew who you were, you still wouldn't have won anything. :rockon:

[X-Era]

I'm not trying to convince you of anything, and no need to get hostile about it.

That was a case of not being able to show you my gestures. There was no hostility in my comment at all. It was simply a questioning thing. Picture me saying it in a calm voice.

This really is more my fault than anything else.

My point is that we have over 8600 members but the same 20 or so names get floated around every year.

The reason its my fault is because you cant change people. Every year we open it up to nominations and every year the same list of people vote for the same people, it may change from this person nominated for this this year to this person nominated for that the next year, but its pretty much the same list.

But since its by nomination, the only way to change it would be to get them to expand who they nominate... and you cant change people.

So, in this case, I shouldn't even be commenting because why try to improve something when you cant change people.

[SabreEleven]

Then you should have been nominating people....

[Wally The Barber]

I will vote for you next year!

But, you still wont win

Do we really care?

I mean, come on!

[lukabrossi]

didn't i win anything?

[northernbillfan]

I should give my award to Mikey or hbf as I am not a Zone photographer. Just a photographer who posts his pics in the Zone.

Mikey does a damn good job of capturing Zone moments and his TC photos kick ass. Even tho it takes him sometimes up to a month to post his pics, he still is the Zone photographer.

[The last buffalo fan]

who won the best Mexican zoner? :idunno:

Thanks man! I wish I had your camera and half of your talent for photography.

Layoffs are looming where I work, Im very much at risk... stupid **** like this is the last thing on my mind...

Congrats to all the winners... and I mean it.

Can we now just move on?

[SabreEleven]

:up:

I disagree...the winners keep winning because of a good reason...they are good and bad posters and contribute to the boards whether it is positive or negative way but they all make these boards better.
