Err... no he wouldn't because he joined April last year before the 2008 awards.
Otherwise Bonovox would have been my pick for Newbie of the Year too.

Is there a 'Best Irish member with a Kiwi Sister-in-law' category? Didn't see it on the list, will have to look again...

Bragging rights! Put it in your signature!
I won the 'Best Review' award last year and I was quite elated TBH.

Even being counted as 4th Best Australian in 2007 was pretty exciting, I think.

Posted by brys182
nice to have that kind of awards here in esato

Posted by crossmatched

just a simple document that can be downloaded and printed should the winner opt to

Posted by tranced
it's a good idea kabayan

i'll see where i can get those

Posted by Bonovox
Carkitter thanks for that nice one lol. Guess I should get on my boots and vote then. I am very humbled now

If you do add any more categories, dont' forget to update the 1st post.

Posted by tranced
i won't add categories. i would update it if the certificates idea gets through.
Posted by Bonovox
Is there an award for Lifetime Esato Member?
Posted by tranced
the first post says NO
Posted by Bonovox
Lol I was kidding

Posted by carkitter
I think it would be good to induct someone into the 'Esato Hall of Fame'. The first recipient would likely be Masseur.

I'm not a fan of the certificates idea though. Anyone can link to the announcement if they want.
