Now here's an idea:

I'm going to make an ASCII AWARDS to promote:

BEST WEBSITE
BEST ART
BEST ARTIST
BEST .SIG

First I'll put up a nominate page, where you can nominate your
favorites. If you have any category suggestions, please
mail it to me.

This all depends on if you are interessted!
Please give me some feedback on what you think of my ideas.
You can start nominating already, by mail.

When the nominate page has been up for approx a week, I'll
replace it with a voting page. I'm thinking of arranging this
every month or so, with nominating one week and voting the three
next weeks.

WHAT DO YOU THINK?

This is one of the best ideas to come along in quite a while.

I'll vote.

At the same time, you should run a contest to name the award (the 'Ascar' is
way too obvious). The winner of the contest could get something fairly
simple like maybe world domination for 1 week.

Rules; it needs rules.

No campaigning
No buying votes
No ballot stuffing
No ballot box stuffing either
No lurid 'sweeps week' pandering
No paparazzi (or is that panzerotti? Pepperoni?)
No anchovies (just in case)

On a lighter note, Erik, I _really_ like it.

Thanksalot!

> I'll vote.

First you gotta nominate!
The nomination page is at my page:
<http://home.sol.no/kseide/Ascii>

(But it's not working yet, somehow the Submit button was lost in
cyberspace. Or maybe I just forgot?)

This is fixed within the day. (I got an exam at school today, so I might
be late.)

I agree. But if he/she is really good, I'll concider giving him/her
two weeks.
