CheffoJeffo:
FWIW, since he is still an active member here, we should call out Blanka as the one who bitched about the Mameys like that.

I do recall some poor reaction on his part to the criticism of his first cab (which was spread over many sites).

Le Chuck:
Sample thread vote language below.  Please edit and bold your proposed changes.  Whittled it down to 5 categories.  

<edit: If you're browsing through recent posts and see this please don't start posting your favs yet, there will be a separate thread... but start browsing!>


--- Quote ---Welcome to the 2011 BYOAC User Choice Awards!

Before we get too deep into spring and everybody is in the garage working on their builds it's time to take a few minutes and identify some of our favorite, ground breaking, or all around well made builds of 2011.  Feel free to nominate more than one and don't feel obligated to nominate something for every category.    

Please take a look at the categories and their description.  To nominate please reply with this format:

Category: Name of Build or Project: Link
<optional description of why nominated for that category>

Any project nominated twice (by different users ;)) will make it to the vote thread which will open on X.  This thread will close on Y so make sure and scrub through this last year's builds then put up the links that you think progressed the hobby, just make sure whatever you're nominating was "complete" after 01 JAN 2011 and before 31 DEC 2011.

Here's a list of this year's categories and a brief definition:

Fullsize Cabs - Uprights, cockpits, and showcase cabs that demonstrate outstanding theme, style, balance, and execution

Small cabs and non standards - Bartops, Cocktails, and cabs more easily defined by what they aren't, cab in furniture, cab disguised as something else that demonstrate outstanding theme, style, balance, and execution

Hack or Mod - minis, custom built or modified controls, lighting, or other physical cab elements that were new or improved this past year and advanced the hobby

Utility - this can be a piece of code or specialty tool user written or created this past year that created or improved emulation capability or generally increased software flexibility

Contribution - helpful forum members recognized for their dedicated commitment to lending a hand, proffering sound advice, and going out of their way to ensure you can complete an awesome build (serious entries only here, if you have a beef take it elsewhere).


Thanks for taking the time to nominate your favorite(s) and help us document the best projects of 2011!

--- Quote from: Zakk on February 22, 2012, 04:23:33 pm ---As a 'user voted system'. I think it would garner limited interest.  I really should have kept with it, but time and incentive was lacking. The only guy that really kept at it was lew.  That crazy irishman and his hot wife toiled long hours finding the best of the best, submitting them to me so that I could...wander off and play with a penny (a shiny penny). In fact, if lew wanted the rights to the mameys I'd likely give it to him.  Who knows, maybe the 'judges' need to be picked by the users here, and then they can 'vote' on the submissions.

Zakk, I'm sure everybody (well almost everybody ;D) would love to see the Mamey come back.  Part of the reason it was able to fade away is that it wasn't housed in the forums and it did have a single point of failure.  If we create a user generated system then it shouldn't matter if any of the original posters are interested in doing it next year, somebody in this community would hopefully copy and past the thread and change the dates to keep things rolling.  It's not necessarily THE way it's just A way.

I've been here since Summer 2010, and I didn't realize the Mamey was "official". I just thought it was something like, "Hey, that cab is nice. It deserves a Mamey!" type of thing.

I don't know, but I feel bartops/cocktails (typical builds) and stuff made out of atypical things (like furniture) should be separate categories. Otherwise, the rest looks good!
