KarateForums.com Awards 2009: Vote Now!

[Patrick]

Hello,

Welcome to the voting period of the eighth annual KarateForums.com Awards. Through these awards, we recognize just a few of the individuals who have made outstanding contributions to KarateForums.com in the past year. These awards take into consideration all community activity between October 19, 2008 and October 18, 2009.

You submitted your nominations and, from those, we have our KarateForums.com Awards 2009 nominees. In all, 13 different members have been nominated in the various categories that make up this year's awards. They are joesteph, sensei8, tonydee, ps1, Kuma, Sokusen, bushido_man96, tallgeese, ninjanurse, KarateEd, DWx, The BB of C and Tiger1962. Congratulations to all of you.

With the ballots crafted, it is now time to vote. In order to do so, you must have a KarateForums.com account registered on or before October 18, 2009. There is just one guideline to keep in mind when voting:

1. Do not attempt to artificially inflate our vote totals in any way. This includes but is not limited to trading votes, encouraging people to vote indiscriminately (publicly or privately), mass mailing/posting and any other behavior that could lead to results being artificially skewed. Individuals found to be participating in these activities will be disqualified from nomination in any category.

Please note that you do not have to vote in every category. You can vote for as many or as few as you would like - please go for as many as you feel comfortable with. The more valid votes we get, the better!

The categories are listed below. Please click the link(s) and vote in the poll(s).
