Rabbit Awards!

[Rhabbi]

I am cool with all of this as long as I still maintain the title of :

***Submissive Goddess of the Universe****

Was there a vote on this one? I know a couple of subs that would actually argue they deserve the title.

I do not see these awards as a competition as much as recognizing someone who puts in a little extra effort.

I try to read all the intro's here and respond to them, and some have been really nice, so bringing them to the attention of others here might be a good thing. I just hope that enough people end up voting on them to actually make it a forum wide award, instead of just something only a few participate in. We have 25,900+ members, and less than 30 usually sway the votes for the poetry, prose, and photo contests. Last month's story contest had five entries, and only 17 votes. This tells me that a lot of people do not care enough to take the time to participate, even though there are many more than 17 authors on this site.

I do not want this to go off into a rant which might have to be edited, but participation is what a forum is all about. This is a place where we come to express ourselves and learn, and occasionally meet someone of like mind in the flesh. we should be happy to make a difference here, and to see others recognized for the difference they make. This is not a competition any more than recognizing a person who jumps into a fire to pull someone else out is a competition. It is simply a matter of letting other people know who cares enough to try. Hopefully it will encourage more participation and make this place even better.
