The leaves are starting to change colors.
The birds are flying south for the winter.
Its getting colder.
But things just got a bit hotter here at cheathappens.
Yes ladies and gentlemen, its that time of the year. The second annual CHU User awards, more commonly known as the Usies. Winners of this prestigious contest will receive the magnificent and rare rank of VIP with the possibility of other prises that are being discussed at this very moment.
Now, those new to the site may be asking "Insom, how do I win such a prestigious contest?" My answer is "BEHAVE!...well, that and contribute to the site"
Here's how it works. This year we have four categories, the users nominate people they think deserve to be in a category (no nominating yourself). The mods take those nominations, as well as their own, and come up with a final nominee list. This list is what we'd normally call "the finals". And being on it is an honor alone.
After spending some time in a dark smoke filled room (blame darkish for the bad light bulb and shibby for the smoke) we come up with a winner for each category, and those people
get sacrificed to the blood god for the greater good of the site and it's farmland get fame and fortune in the form of a rank.This year's categories are
CHU Thread of the year- The following thread has been maintained and on topic for an extended period of time, the thread manager does an exquisite job of keeping his thread in tip-top shape.
CHU Youngblood of the year- The following user has been active for less than one year, and still, they make a huge difference and dedication to the website.
CHU Blog of the year- The following blog excells in content and entertains is readers. The award is based on content, not subscribers.
CHU User of the year- The highest esteem one could hope to receive in the usies, the user does everything in his or her power to make the site a better place.
Please note that moderators and founders are exempt from nominations (This is for YOU, not US). Please do not nominate yourself (Show some dignity). And lastly, have fun.
Now, CHU, I ask for nominations. They need not be for every category. Nor do they need to be but for one person. If you feel someone deserves an award, toss their name into the box.
Edit: you can see last years Usies at the links below.
