    I think you were wrong to delete your post Nathan. I was also wrong. Mea culpa, mea culpa, mea culpa, mea culpa !!!!
    Leave the destruction of art to the administrators who are currently holed up in Room 101 enjoying a strange short-lived confinement to chasten their better judgment and in addition to the lockdown we all endure.

    There seems little interest in this and what Tank rather amusingly described as a caper,so maybe it is time to raise the white flag ?

    I am not nominating further but I think Graysonscolumn – I seem to remember he was Jeremy – deserves a mention or an essay for his early years of contribution to this place and he won three awards since eclipsed by VTC – but he had his own flavour and wrote some sterling stuff over time.

    Tank now in a reargaurd action has certainly blasted some applecarts in here. As far as the registration of multiple personalities under one banner is the IP address not checked ?

    Also if the total membership of this forum a staggering 54046 were to vote for one person could the counting mechanism cope ?

    Trump would know these things but he’s fighting his own battles in Georgia.

    The lost…. :mail:

    I wouldn’t have suggested it if I’d recalled there’d been one just five years ago, so it seems rather pointless holding another poll now

    And, quite understandably, I doubt TRF’s current crop of correspondents could give a flying about who was who way back whenever when the world was young and life was simple :wacko:

    Slight piss-take anyway ref: “has-beens”

    Forget it, you well-meaning young chap ;-)

    Yes, thanks Drone, I’ll put daylight in the honours and leave it for twenty five years for the next one :rose:

    Well Nathan I will leave that to your better judgement but you ought to at least wait until the other poll has finished, I would have thought, and as for numbers of nominated ( I have nominated three – is that within the rules ?) would there not be a minimum number ?

    Tank’s overhyped concerns are legitimate but in reality people will not create new ID’s or vote for themselves ( possibly the latter the more likely) in 99.8% of cases I would have thought – but I cannot say for sure. I think clones are more a thing of the past – well hopefully so, dont you think gamble ?

    As for Drone – it is rather strange he has gone quiet – Tank also is in retreat and I had thought Drone is waiting for him to come back. I hope not to be writing so much now as I have so much to catch up on but have to say it has been a real frolick in the waves for me over Xmas tide. Xmas is alas, officially over.

    I will continue possibly with my light hearted gripe thread, at a measurably slower pace, but the splash content may upset some, so if you do go ahead with this, I may hand this to you or others on a plate. I wish you well whatever, and you certainly deserve silverware for your gargantuan efforts over time on truffle.

    The list… :mail:

    Oh I see God has just spoken from his rafters of righteousness.

    An epiphany, thank you Gamble :good:

    We three kings of TRF are: Maxilon5, Grasshopper and Alan Ridley

    There you go sweet baby Nathan, add them to ‘the list’

    I enjoy your posts Gamble but did prefer them when composed in iambic pentameter whilst wearing your flatcap. Splish splosh splash away

    54,000-odd ‘registered users’; 40-odd voters in the annual poll :unsure:

    You can cut the 40 in half with the clone votes of me, thee, myself and Irene
    can I add JimJTS to the list
    I had a dream I was on a train with him but all he would say was

    gamble, Kotkijet has already admitted to voting for himself in the yearly awards – bad form!

    Anyway, I am delighted that this has been scrapped.

    Maybe time for you to get back in your hidey-hole now? :bye:

    been a lonely 5 years, let’s have a vote on it once the other awards are done and dusted. – I heartily support Daylight being awarded Honorary Lifetime Achievement Award so let’s just do that. Then I think we should add someone each year and include it in your awards annually Nathan?

    My nominations for this years vote –

    Jim JTS (although he wouldn’t be happy about it!)
    Billion
    Bob Rolf
    VTC
    Matron
    The Ante Post King

    Well that’s a much more sensible list, boss. Would be a nice touch to give Jim a posthumous award.
