Historical Chit Chat Awards and Surveys

[Sentinel]

So, I thought I'd sort all the old Awards and Surveys in an easily operated index. Now we will have room for tons of new chit-chatty stickies here. Enjoy! :)

2003 Results, http://www.revleft.com/vb/unofficial-che-lives-t15907/index.html
2003 Call for submissions, http://www.revleft.com/vb/unofficial-che-lives-t15504/index.html

Yah! This is lots of fun to run by the way, I suggest that someone else do it this year...

[Sentinel]

Thanks, companero, I have now added the first survey to the list of links.

[Sugar Hill Kevis]

I was going to suggest we bump up the 2008 awards to sometime soon, partially because it'd be good to get back on track in terms of hosting the awards and partially because it might help blow over the recent tumult now that we have a fairly decent compromise.

But, since it's now been made a usergroup and we're still in our infancy - there probably aren't that many people in here yet as so far as to produce the best outcome?

[Sentinel]

Yeah. I think we should wait until the end of the summer before we start arranging the next awards.

[Sentinel]

You don't want to? Any volunteers then?

When it comes to the 2008 Chit Chat Awards, I suggest the Hero of Chit Chat Kevis organises them -- provided he is willing. :)

[Black Dagger]

Great idea hun.

[The Feral Underclass]

There were not enough people last time to make it interesting. No more than 15 people submitted their answers for the chit chat awards. But perhaps people can try again if they wish.

Yeah that sucked, I think I forgot to send mine in as well. :blushing:

To prevent this from happening again, I suppose the person who makes them will have to announce it all over the place, PM people etc if there's a risk for low turnout.

[apathy maybe]

Well, I not only had a link in my sig to the survey, I mass PMed people about it, I started two or three threads leading up to it, and generally tried to build momentum. Even then I still only managed to get 50 respondents in a month (some of whom actually sent their responses before the month started...).

But yeah, I responded to the awards last year, even though I really couldn't answer most of the questions.

Anyway, yeah.

[Sugar Hill Kevis]

I'd be happy to do it if nobody else objects (or desperately wants to themselves ;)); give it a little bit of time before we get the ball rolling too much... Maybe an august start date?

[Sentinel]

I'd be happy to do it if nobody else objects

Awesome, but do you mean the Awards or the Survey, or both? I like both but I think it's way more important that we get a dedicated person on the Awards this year. They're just funnier and I have abstinence since there were none last year..


Maybe an august start date?

That sounds fine to me.

[Sugar Hill Kevis]

I'd rather just do the awards, but if nobody else puts themselves forward for the survey, I'll take it on :)

Do you reckon they should run concurrently? It might help participation, on the other hand it might fatigue people...

[Sentinel]

Yeah maybe do the survey first, as an 'appetizer' and then the Awards as the 'main course'.

[apathy maybe]

November is the traditional time to do the survey. And I personally think that it is more important then the awards, providing valuable information about the RevLeft demographic (such as, we don't have any Swedish or Finnish members...).

The awards are just silly. ;)

[Sentinel]

Both are important, but the Awards are funnier.

[F9]

Updated with 2008's ones!;)

Updated with the 2012 Awards & Survey.
