After reading the 'trailer with a little history' thread and the comment on voting JT the MySwagger of the year, I thought this was a good idea to have annual awards. We could have overall swagger of the year, best trip etc. Thoughts...
oh goodie,,,lets get some categories going.. :cup:
the prize could be a free camper trailer... yeah? Nah! :cup:

no but you will need some 13mm sq :)
Ha Ha, very good lads... That is very good ;D
But NO. If you win the DC to DC you don't get the 13x2 (best I could do to *square it up* ;D
You do get a years subscription from Nobbs anonymous though ;D
!st prize should be a roll of Gaffa tape to shut up the winner & the wingers that didnt win :cheers:

OK how about these
Overall MySwagger of the year
Best trip report
Best camper
Best forum contributor
They sound like good categories. Q: Does the trip report need to be here on MySwag? Q: When you say camper ... could you be more specific ... as we have some members that are camp and some that do camp and some that even have a camper.

Bah humbug. What is this? A footy Club?? >:(
Doesn't everyone get enough of this stuff watching the Logies, Arias, Oscars.....or the POTM comp?
Anyway, I s'pose it could add to the 'entertainment' value at the very least.
Also, It would give us some 'Tall Poppies' to pull the pi$$ out of. ;D ;D ;D
Can I vote D4D for something please.

Know what I mean, know what I mean. ;D
Sooooo, don't mess around, get the poll up Already!!

Only if you've got a MPPT solar reg. 8)
Great idea D4D - I think it would be good to recognise some of our more helpful members in this way. I'm happy with your categories too :
QuoteOverall MySwagger of the year
Best trip report
Best camper
Best forum contributor
Don't want to get too many - we don't need it to be an "everyone gets a trophy!" award! ;D
Maybe a voting thread for each category, let them run for a month, and then lock the thread and tabulate the results? No idea how we could collect the results - if it was a poll, then the person maintaining the thread would constantly have to be adding new answer categories to the poll as new nominations arrive. If just thread replies, then people might not like their votes being public, and it'd be hard to tally up. In short, I have no answers - only more questions ;D
Thanks!
Matto :)
I think Swagger of the year is hands down JT! :D
Cheers Chippy :D
You guys have too much time on your hands ::)

How about one award for each of the moderated categorys
Ok, hadn't read this topic before suggesting the same thing, is it happening or has it died a natural death - D4D ?

Not really keen on the "Best Camper" category, as that might just end up being whoever has the most $$$ to spend. I think if we are to do this we need to focus on the elements that make this forum the success that it is, and promote those. My picks would be -
Myswagger of the year (Gold trophy)
Most helpful forum member (Gold trophy)
Best trip report (Silver trophy)
Best homemade camper (Silver trophy)
Best camper modification (Silver trophy)
Best photo of the year (Bronze trophy)
Have the votes at around November each year?
My $2 worth best trip organiser !!! You never know I might win something apart from a frozen chook ;D
Mark
While I think its a lovely gesture, do we need a popularity contest?
1 person wins, 3000 get offended by not winning and disappear
Why not make it SMS your votes to...
I have a better idea. Lets make it a reality show.. We can vote people off instead.... Now where is the electrical section...
PS.
I think its a sh1t idea..
2 X Symons idea.
My opinion, not needed and a load of BS. Who needs to be told they are great contributor, great whatever.....We all make MySwag what it is, not just the few.......

This is evidence darren is getting soft.
I think it's a great idea that should never eventuate, we can just talk about it forever.

I promice to try harder...
Whilst it is nice to recognise the efforts of others, the myswag convention is to go to your fridge and return with a cold beverage, offering this to the one you whose effort you appreciate. Or variations on this theme, but you get the point.

Whatever eventuates, we must endeavour to reward the winner with something not related to their field of expertise. I couldn't help but think this was a waste of resources upon seeing a comp in a popular 4X4 mag. You will recognise this. The comp was to send in a list of all the great gear/mods you have attached to your rig. Some of these lists were huge, and I imagine took a couple of second mortgages to achieve. The winners got a new set of muddies. Why on earth would a bloke who has spent well over $200K on a wagon need some more tyres? Just my thoughts.
You can never have to many stubbie holders ;D
that is actually a myth : you actually can have too many stubby holders
it happened to us when we moved into a new rental house and one of the cupboards was stuffed with stubby holders - we have hundreds of them and lack space for them - and you cant throw them away, i mean... thats ... just wrong - so everyone who comes round gets a stubby holder

In fact, I am imbibing right now from a myswag stubbie holder. ;D
Must admit though, when it comes to holders, the more obscure the better. I had a nice Wollommombi Bullride that was always subject of discussion.
This pointless diversion was bought to you by Stella Artois.
Back on topic....
Just give it to speewa. No contest...!
