UOTM is back! Aren't you glad it's back after that long break? I know I am. Well, why don't we stop beating around the bush and just get to it.

Hey guys, we're gonna start something new. We're going to be doing a User of the Month award. What this means is that the User of the Month will have their own Usergroup, and they get to have a special rank and name color for the full month. Another cool thing will be that you will be the only person on this site that is like that. There will only be ONE User of the Month.

The way this is going to work is that if you'd like to nominate someone (and yes, if you wish, you could nominate yourself) to be the User of the Month, then you will send me a PM with the subject being "User of the Month". All that will be needed in the body of the PM is the users name. Once I have collected enough names, I will update this thread with a poll and you guys will vote on who will be the User of the Month.

Qualities of a "User of the Month":
Active
Generally Helpful to All Users of the Site
Makes Good Posts


*Note: We will not be having the same person being the User of the Month for two or more months in a row.

So, I invite everyone to participate and just make this an overall fun experience.

Q: Do you get to keep the special rank/color?

A: It will be for that month only. After that month is over, the person will be removed from the Usergroup and their name color and rank will be reset to the way it's supposed to be. The only time you will ever have your name color and rank changed again as result of this is if you get voted the User of the Month again.

Q:Does this apply to Mods/Admins?

A:Anyone who is already in a Usergroup is not eligible for this award for obvious reasons. For one, we are doing this for the communities benefit, not for our own benefit. Secondly, it would clash with the ranks and name coloring that we already have.

Q: Can we nominate ourselves?

A: Yes.

Q: Can we nominate more than one person?

A: Yes, as long as you don't nominate way too many people. If you go over 3 or 4 nominations and are just abusing it then no more nominations will be accepted.

Q: Are the people who are in the UK Zombie Group/Research Group allowed to participate?

A: Yes. I am overlooking those two groups and allowing them to participate.

Q: Can we win more than once?

A: Yes, you can, but if you win one month, you can not win the following month. So let's say you win July's UOTM Contest. That means that you can not participate in Augusts UOTM contest. But if you get nominated again for the September UOTM, then that is perfectly fine.

People in the Veteran group are also eligible

Oh sorry,I misunderstood so badly.

its cool

guys, its gonna be rare to get the same UOTM often- so, in essence, you will all get your turn. just work hard, and you'll get your turn sooner! zombie cakes totally deserves to "win" because she has totally made some great artwork, along side her online "comic" series.

You can be the UOTM more than once it's just that you cannot be it in consecutive months.

I've updated the FAQ to include the question about winning more than once.

ahh, thanks for the corection there ibanez

Zombie Cakes is our new use of the month!!!! Hooray and a big congrats to her!!!!!!!!!! She is an outstanding member, artist and friend, so for the 1st UOTM of the new year, I wouldn't want anyone else to have it except her!!!

if you didn't win, better luck next month!

Dang Carbon, I was gonna announce it tomorrow. jk

Anyways, earlier is much better and congratz Zombie Cakes!
