Some of my original thoughts on CLSOTW, contained here:
http://news.lugnet.com/admin/suggestions/?n=394, still may work. I know I
ranted a whole lot then, but maybe this time it will be different.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
How a site becomes CLSOTW:
(Tuesday, Week 1)
1. Anyone who wants can nominate a site. This is posted in a special group
(say Lugnet.CLSOTW) and cannot be crossposted to any other group (lessens
the possibility of a space-castle war).
(Friday, Week 1)
2. By now, at least three others will have needed to, in a reply to the
original post, second (& third & fourth) the nomination.
(Sat or Sun, Week 1)
3. When this is done, the CLSOTW admin double-checks that the submission
follows these guidelines:
-Must be of Lego Orientation
Reason: Umm, Duh!?!
-Site hasn't been awarded the CLSOTW this past year
Reason: This rule allows for 2 things: 1 for a site to win CLSOTW again if
the webamster deserves it through his/her dedication to the hobby and their
site. 2: It makes sure those who do deserve the award a second time don't
take it too often.
-Site hasn't been nominated in the past month
Reason: If we see the same stuff nominated each week, the whole voting
process stagnates. We need differant things.
-If it has won or been nominated before, it must have recent updates since then.
Reason: The CLSOTW is a prestigious award, therefore, the webmaster should
earn the right to wear it.
-Can Handle the Exposure (bandwith)
Reason: If the site cannot take the exposure, and then goes down, we no
longer have a CLSOTW. If the person hosts geocities and all the images are
located on his GC account, the site will go down fast. If he hosts locally,
pays for a good service or uses a quality free service such as ozbricks, or
hosts images on b-shelf, the site should be fine. If he doesn't, the admin
of CLSOTW may allow the Webmaster time to comply with the requirements. I
understand this rule may be harsh, but I have seen the frustration with
downed sites all to often.
-If it meets requirements, the admin posts the nominations to poll. Only
the first 3-5 successful nominations will be allowed.
(Monday-Sunday, Week 2)
Members vote.
(Monday 12:00AM GMT, Week 3)
Winner Declared.
(Sunday 11:59PM GMT, Week 3)
The current CLSOTW has it's last minute of fame, or does it? See below...
----------------------------------
In my original post, I did not think that you, Todd, would be the admin, so
I recommended a name change to protect your legacy. But because you are the
King of CLSOTW, the name shall stay!!!
Also, the poll system is great and the hidden results work like a charm!!!
Best!

On the above two I do have a problem. What if two (...) (22 years ago, 27-Aug-02, to lugnet.admin.general)
