Why doesn't it start next month then?

To get this forum keep going!

Here is an idea. Look at the story board. Right. Got that so far? Then go through the stories. Okay. Got that one down? Look for the best stories. Nominate them for SOTM. Yeah. Did you catch that?

Tis not that hard. If you won it last month you can't be nominated otherwise you can.

Let common sense prevail.

The problem arises when you have a story that runs for a month or two, is high quality, wins the award, and is never updated after that. It becomes unfair on those who may not have a great story with graphics or great writing, but who are consistent with it and keep it running for a long while.

And another issue is with stories that aren't updated frequently enough compared to those that are updated rapidly. A story like mine will have less updates in a month than Hooper's would in a week. And for that reason if mine has been running for the same time as his, mine should not be eligible because of the fact that I haven't put the same effort as he has.

I appreciate the rules used by Suren because it ensures that the stories that do qualify are those that have consistently maintained a high quality. Not stories that have been flash in the pans or had a handful of quality updates. It rewards consistency and it rewards quality.

To be honest, this has become my favourite sub forum lately. Some fun and some great reads. A lot of people seem to come here but never end up voting.

No Doubt, it'd be Biggy..

 

[surendar]

Congrads, Biggy! And also thanks for all the voters. I would set up the rest on this Sunday. Either me or Arslaan will start the next SOTM too on this Sunday.

 

[Biggy]

What are the prizes? Or do I just bask in my own glory?

 

[BKB1991]

Sorry guys, got severely struck in office. It will be very hectic for me like this for another month atleast. Anyways, it's all been done now. Also, there is been a revise in VCash for the winner & biggy becomes the first person to get that revised VCash award.
