KarateForums.com Awards 2011: Please Vote Now!

[Patrick]

Hello,

Welcome to the voting period of the tenth 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, 2010 and October 18, 2011. As a voter, you should place your vote based upon activity made during this period - not activity prior to or after it.

You submitted your nominations and, from those, we have our KarateForums.com Awards 2011 nominees. In all, 11 different members have been nominated in the various categories that make up this year's awards. They are sensei8, MasterPain, JusticeZero, Groinstrike, Ueshirokarate, Liver Punch, bushido_man96, DWx, evergrey, tallgeese and joesteph. 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 that had at least 10 posts made on or before October 18, 2011 (Eastern Time). There is just two guidelines to keep in mind when voting:

1. You cannot vote for yourself or an article that you wrote.

2. 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).

Unfortunately, if you had tried to reach this thread through the link in our header, you would not have been led to the proper link (this thread). I apologize for the error.

It has now been fixed and, in order to ensure that all members who want to vote are able to do so, I have decided to extend the voting deadline by 4 days, to December 4 at 8 PM ET.
