Title: AN Awards 2015 Voting!

AWARDS 2015

Voting is now up! The survey is split into two, to make a distinction between the two categories of awards and totally not because I was too cheap to buy a premium account and put it all into one...

Academic awards: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/RBFQTZ6
Other awards: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/RBHLW9Z

Voting takes ~30s total and you don't have to vote for all categories if you don't want to! Please refrain from voting multiple times because I can (and likely will) check IPs to make sure no dodgy stuff has occurred :P

You might notice that some categories aren't present, that's because those categories already have a winner by default ;)

I'll leave this up until 11.59pm 13 January 2016, so get voting!

:D

Can confirm ;)

Also, looking at early results, a certain member seems to be running away with this and is leading in no less than four award categories! Thanks to the ~15 people who have voted thus far! :D

inb4 pi: 'Awks :/  Nah wasn't her, she's the only one that's voted for herself so far'

(but anyways if you look at the categories, it's actually totally EulerFan, #scariestmod4ever)

Well anyway, at least you've motivated me through cleaning up my extremely messy kitchen, a formidable achievement indeed (Edit: shouldn't give you the credit for it until I've actually done the cleaning)

Throwing in the towel and going home, none of us have a hope beside him :'(

... though I'll be honest and say that I didn't actually vote for him for that award - Euler's just been explaining to me how utterly terrifying pi truly is

I think I've figured out who you are on Facebook through some AN stalking. Let's just say I saw some questionable material...

I tried to figure out what was wrong with my profile...

Turns out my most recently visited restaurants make me look like a satanist. Oops.

Perhaps if you spend less time on BoS, you might be able to set up more proxies ;)

was just browsing AN's about us page. Apparently AN is one of the largest student forums around in Aus. Wondered who was higher so BoS popped up. First thing i see is users online: Bangali !

Off to sleep, cya all at lectures tommorow
Grats to winners in advance :)

Haha I think I created a mini-shitstorm on BoS once, they ended up editing or deleting most of my posts and deleting a bunch of telling threads about what went down to lead to this place being founded haha

I thought this might be entertaining for some: (someone also got banned as a result of that thread too, much dramaz hahahahaha)

Stop giving away my highly embarrassing secrets!  (or maybe I should deny that it's me?)

To justify myself: I spent legit three minutes this evening on there answering questions about the UTS/AN lectures and also squashing someone saying something silly about suicide

BoS is way bigger, with about ten thousand times as many posts, but it's absolutely trashy.  Can't stand it and half the members there would get instabanned if they posted such utterly insensitive and spammy stuff on AN.

Thanks for your grats in advance ;) ;)

Was 99% sure it was you, it looked too suspicious for me once you had HSC memes in your sig as well :P  (I PM'ed you yesterday on BoS checking who it was, but you don't answer PMs apparently)

I never go on BoS (unless I've very accidentally ignored an AN pm?????????????)

Also, BoS is actually not as big amongst the high-school demographic I feel. It seems as if more of their traffic is on the university boards. That's by far where people are hanging out. I mean, their Sci boards have 110k posts, ours have 90k. They've been around twice as long. Which makes sense, because they would have a lot of uni students hanging around and stuff like that.

It's definitely a piece of shit. A lot of racism and vulgarity going on. We'll take 'em down ;)

Nah, 99% of their traffic is actually in the non-school forums and 2/3 of their posts either a swear word or 'bump'.  It's ridiculous.

And their mods are all so old, like from HSC in 2006/7 - all their content is from ten years ago, too :P  Whadya reckon, shall I give 'em a super troll thread, supguys style, outlining all their problems in the site discussion and see what the response is?  I'll report back :))
