My Opera Awards - Issy For Best Male!

Monday, 17. November 2008, 16:23:03

Wow! I've just been checking out the nomination forums for the My Opera awards and found I've been nominated in a few categories - Best Opera Blog, Best Male Blog, Most Helpful Forum Member and Best Blog Design. While the first three are a given in my ego enhanced mind (okay, I'm joking, there are plenty of pages out there that are better than mine and people that are way more helpful and less sarcastic), the Blog Design one is something I'd really like to win just to say that a phone blogger has the best CSS on here. How much of a strike for phone bloggers would that be? Thanks for the nominations in that category guys. I worked hard on this theme and I'm glad it's appreciated by others. Hope I get some votes for it.

Anyway I noticed some rather strange nominations on those forums, including the age old no-no of people nominating themselves. I know it's within the rules, but it's just really tacky as far as I'm concerned. Also someone nominated Issy as the best male blog. I know who I'm voting for in that category now. I also noticed that Getting Blogthingy With It got nominated for best group by a member. As I keep the group invitation only I doubt it'll get many votes, but thats probably the reason it got the nomination.

I've been here for almost two years now, and have been subjected to hundreds of guys who see my photo with long hair and decide I'm a girl so they send sexual private messages to me or just add me as a friend to their female only "wank lists". As a result of this I'm pretty sure that all men are after one thing, and I'm also sure that I want a best female nomination. By the way, Best Female was the only thing I entered a nomination for this year (everyone I'd nominate has already been nominated and my choices wouldn't make a difference) and it was for the cat. That way I can claim her well deserved victory with her criminally overlooked page as my doing.

:lol:
There is realy something in this awards competition that make lot of Opera members` blood run faster and run for nominations. I really don`t care that much, I am rather the one who will nominate that to be nominated. But this is maybe because my posts are not that interesting to a wide circle of people here P: Whatever....

:sst: Issy is a male?

Furie 17. November 2008, 17:03

You got a few nominations for best male, mate (more than me, I think), so I doubt your posts are as uninteresting as you say. :up:.
:sst: I'm still voting for Issy as best male though.

gdare 17. November 2008, 17:11

Me? Really? :eyes:

:sst: she is hiding pretty well I must say

Furie 17. November 2008, 17:17

I saw it straight away. :devil:

gdare 17. November 2008, 17:18

:yikes:

Furie 17. November 2008, 17:20

Not that! p:

Zaphira 17. November 2008, 17:21

Darn, I shouldn't have fed your ego! :irked:

rose-marie 17. November 2008, 17:30

I have you for best blog design (posting my nominations later), but I can change it to best female if you like...

demiphonic 17. November 2008, 20:22

urrrrr I soooooooooooo nominated myself :lol: ..what!! :irked: i hate to be rude but have you SEEN the nominations for Best Blog Design! oh come on!! only 2 or so deserve to be there & one is:

http://my.opera.com/phamlam/blog/

Seems like friends are just voting for friends regardless of how the CSS actually looks. (most cases not all)

by the way I saw someone else with that guys CSS so I'm wondering it it's actually custom made or they got it from some site? :eyes:

anyway.. I won't win that's for darn sure... but still.. I had to do it p:

& yeah Furie you should win for "Best CSS done via Opera Mini" :yes: I don't know anyone else who would even attempt that p:

*I can feel people starting to hate me all ready* :left:

Moesring 17. November 2008, 20:25

How many votes have you got for best design so far, Mik?

I'm just about to make my votes for Best CSS and Best Group now in case I go away again and don't return before the votes finish. :happy:
Guess who I'm voting for... :whistle:

demiphonic 17. November 2008, 20:27

:lol: I'm guessing YOU :lol:

know what's funny? :rolleyes: ...Opera is gonna do an Update tomorrow & it's gonna screw up my CSS for SURE :bomb:

Cois 17. November 2008, 20:37

:lol: who nominated Issy for that? p:

Moesring 17. November 2008, 20:49

:lol: I'm guessing YOU :lol:

Actually, no. I've nominated Mik. He deserves to have his theme put into the spotlight because he made it on his mobile. :happy:

It's an inspiration for everyone. Not least because he has made two templates to help others make their own themes. :yes:

wickedlizard 17. November 2008, 20:54

:lol: In case you didn't notice the same person voted for two women! I think it's hilarious! p:

AOTEAROAnz 17. November 2008, 21:06

:lol:

wickedlizard 17. November 2008, 21:07

:wink: I don't mind... p:

Cois 17. November 2008, 21:13

You know you do :D damn.. I wish i thought of it.. I think i'll vote Zaph for best male :whistle:

clean 17. November 2008, 21:30

And a lock of Miss Furie's hair to the winner of best female blog ... ! :wink:

wickedlizard 17. November 2008, 21:32

:D

theoddbod 17. November 2008, 21:34

Well, if the same people with the most nominations are the same as those who make it to the voting, you can pretty much tell the winners already :frown:.
Remember the voting hasn't started yet, though p:

And I agree with Randy - most of the nominated blog designs are pathetic. Phanlam's is good; I also quite like Southern Cross' blog's appearance.

demiphonic 17. November 2008, 21:47

finally someone brings sanity to my world :cry:

:lol:

wickedlizard 17. November 2008, 21:55

Demi! :up:

demiphonic 17. November 2008, 22:18

Izzy darling p: nice to see ya :D

Furie 17. November 2008, 23:44

Did I mention I'm also campaigning for the cat? In the way that so many others do for themselves on this site? It's time the young blood won this. I'm also after Mart for best male, but if Issy won that and I got best female it'd kick ass. :yes: Best blog design deserves to be Ryuu yet he hasn't been nominated. I'm still amazed at how elegant his is, but I'm voting for me cause I deserve it for being lovely. :D Randy created dozens of themes for people (including me, but I was stubborn enough to go for my own) so deserves a load of votes in that category. Gotta say, PrincessOfDeath took my template and created something pretty awesome with it too.

Furie 17. November 2008, 23:48

Randy, check the devblog out for some help with that. Fred's listed the changes and help to fix any problems arising from them.

Furie 17. November 2008, 23:51

Always feed my ego, kitty. Otherwise it'll become malnourished. awww.
I'll take the blog design please, Rosie. It means more to me. I worked harder on this than my entire blog. :D

Furie 17. November 2008, 23:56

Phanlam's looks awful on mobile. It's all over the place.

Dacotah 18. November 2008, 01:07

:up:

demiphonic 18. November 2008, 01:27

hey Furie actually I was the first to nominate Ryuu p: ...his is the best cause yeah it is simple & elegant but also it looks good in all major browsers :D ...& yeah he's the one that did my CSS too! :yes: ...I was so specific & asked for so many things :insane: & he still did it :D took a while though but he didn't forget me :smile:

he should win :up:

OkayPJs 18. November 2008, 02:59

S'pose I should go vote soon, too. When does it close?

Dacotah 18. November 2008, 03:15

By Friday November 21st nomination will close and finalists in each cateogry will be publicly annouced.

It'll sure be a surprise to be a runner up in that cathegory! :lol:

I was a bit scared to overdo it, but now I see that it isn't possible to do just that! Anyway - I wouldn't have nominated you if I didn't think you deserve it!

OkayPJs 18. November 2008, 06:53

Thanks Carol x

OkayPJs 18. November 2008, 06:53

Thanks Carol x

Dacotah 18. November 2008, 21:03

You are welcome PJ x

qlue 19. November 2008, 03:51

I can't really nominate anyone for 'Best Blog Design' since all blogs look virtually the same on OM 3.1 :D

Furie 19. November 2008, 09:59

Yeah, but this is designed with mobiles in mind, even the video posts have mobile versions linked, and I was the first to do that. Can I count on your vote. :D

demiphonic 19. November 2008, 16:13

I think it's unfair to have a Best Blog Design catagory right after an Opera Update :irked:

cause my blog now looks like hell :lol:

:frown:

qlue 19. November 2008, 17:42

Consider it a courtesy vote. :D

Moesring 19. November 2008, 17:51

Yeah, but this is designed with mobiles in mind, even the video posts have mobile versions linked, and I was the first to do that. Can I count on your vote. :D

I see the shameless campaigning for people to vote for you has already begun. :rolleyes:

So, does this mean that you're simultaneously running two campaigns? :eyes:

:D

Cois 19. November 2008, 18:46

Is the other one for Best Female? :D

Furie 19. November 2008, 20:57

That's not shameless campaigning. It's on topic chat. p: Shameless campaigning would be going to blogs I've never visited before and asking for votes in multiple comments.

Furie 19. November 2008, 21:01

Randy, it's hit a lot of people like that. Mine still looks good though. Almost as if I'd planned it that way eh? :devil:

demiphonic 19. November 2008, 22:35

Oh you Bastard!! :mad:

:bomb::bomb::bomb:

Furie 19. November 2008, 22:54

So, can I count on your vote on Monday? :D

Dacotah 20. November 2008, 00:41

OMG, Randy said a bad word. :faint:
:D

demiphonic 20. November 2008, 00:58

Docatah, what? :rolleyes: it's his middle name :devil: :lol: :left:

No Mik you will NOT get my vote you.... YoU... VOTE HOG!! :mad:

:faint:

Furie 20. November 2008, 03:48

You know I deserve it, iHubby, p:.
Tell me about it Carol. He doesn't realise this is a family blog. :irked:

Cois 20. November 2008, 06:33

I knew there was more to this ihubby stuff! :lol: Mik you little islut :whistle:

Dacotah 20. November 2008, 12:53

Mik, you tell him. :D
http://my.opera.com/Dacotah/blog/2008/11/20/my-opera-awards-2008

:D

Randy :irked: My name isn't Docatah and since when do you call me Dacotah anyways, it's Carol, reemember now? p: :D
