kav.  Who was the guy you started this thread for and why did you change it?

James Johnson-but everyone kept saying Sharon so I changed it.  I thought James did such a great job rooting out scammers  and got the label swapper busted.

In looking at this list, I’m kind of surprised not to see Bang Zoom in probably 2016. His GA collection thread was the best thread I’ve ever seen on these boards. But, many of you are probably not GA folks.

It is quite amazing.

Just curious.

CGC will decide who will win the best forumite of the year excluded our recommendation or vote?

I've asked what the process involved was a couple of times but don't recall any specific answer.

I think it might be based on post count or positive upticks-- who knows really. In the end, the award does go to some great people but no metrics or reasoning is given. The only thing I do know is that there is no voting by the general membership involved.

In the end-- not a big deal and whoever does get it deserves it.

If you look at the list though-- I do not see any repeat winners. If that is the case, "voting" for Sharon, while nice to applaud her continued efforts here, will not likely lead to anything.

Too bad it doesn’t go to a deserving individual who has made a difference here like Sharon or the gentleman who was mentioned in the original title. There are probably a few more here that would deserve this distinction. Someone just making a lot of one word posts to boost their post counts seems like a real waste. The nomination would mean a lot more coming from the members of these boards.  :foryou:

to be fair-- no one here really knows how they choose the forumites of the year (or at least they are not stepping forward with that type of information). ALSO-- no one is saying that the winners were not deserving in some way. We just don't know specifically why they were chosen.

I was merely suggesting potential methods that would give some sort of metrics to base it on-- and the number of posts, one word or not, would be an indication of atleast being here. I have no actual idea how it is determined-- I just threw out post count et al as potential ways to measure worth to a forum like ours.

Every year that I see the people who have won the Forumite title-- I know who those folks are, have read their posts and how much they add to the website. If someone won who people were against, I am sure there would be some angry posts about it. Never have seen that although I've only been here about 4-5 years - so what do I know. I'm such a noob!

Looking at the list of past winners it's pretty clear to me that they're all great picks and deserving individuals.  I don't believe it's based strictly on post count.
