::::::It turns out making a colorful userbox is not as easy as painting your MS Word. I ended up with this userbox, which the codes I <s>stole</s> "borrowed" from GG's old signature and some tweaks. :p [[User:Nikel23|'''<span style="color:#007FFF; text-shadow: #ACE5EE 0 4px 4px;">Nikel</span>''']] [[User talk:Nikel23|<span style="color: #30D5C8 ; text-shadow: #00FFEF 0 4px 4px;"><sub>''Talk''</sub></span>]] 14:06, May 7, 2012 (UTC)

==Awards Design==
Parthenon or userbox is optional. They can showcase it as a somewhat "pride" or recognition if they want. And only the winner can use it. Maybe it sounded a little arrogant, though. And I shouldn't have put the codes in this wiki... they might steal it if they know how.

==How will judging work?==
I'm curious how we're going to have the judges discuss and vote on their favorites, and how we'll keep that private from the general public. One idea is to do it on the IRC but at least one potential judge has expressed concerns with having it take place on the IRC. Can anyone think of some way to hold a private vote/discussion without utilizing IRC? -- '''[[User:LostInRiverview|<font color="navy">LiR</font>]]<sup> [[User_talk:LostInRiverview|<font color="green">speak</font>]] ~ [[User_blog:LostInRiverview|<font color="green">read</font>]]</sup>''' 05:06, May 8, 2012 (UTC)
:We could enable chat for the purposes of judging, or use Special:EmailUser. Other than that, I've got nothing. {{WHsig|05:08, May 8, 2012 (UTC)}}
::The problem with chat is that it can't be locked to allow only certain users. If a special IRC channel were set up for judging, then the judges could be let in and the channel could be locked to everyone else. Chat can't do that. -- '''[[User:LostInRiverview|<font color="navy">LiR</font>]]<sup> [[User_talk:LostInRiverview|<font color="green">speak</font>]] ~ [[User_blog:LostInRiverview|<font color="green">read</font>]]</sup>''' 05:11, May 8, 2012 (UTC)
:::Temporarily ban everyone who tries to enter, perhaps? {{WHsig|05:25, May 8, 2012 (UTC)}}
::::We could discuss it in a test wiki, like GG or Wogan's. If direct chat is a must, you can enable it temporarily in your test wiki. I'm not sure if your test wiki is known by public.

:::::Yes, I'd think your wiki would work fine, given that I did not know of such thing before this post. Anyways, I'd think someone needs to force something, given that the Plumbbob thing is dying. We need a bump.

::::::It's probably better to make a new wiki for this and not tell anyone but the judges the sitename. Both mine and WH's test wikis are too popular amongst IRC users. {{LabSig}} 18:16, May 30, 2012 (UTC)

::::::::It's nice of you to poke this around, but I'm afraid that this idea is going to dry out soon (but I don't believe it's dead. It's just dormant). Things are being queued recently, making this discussion a bit... forgotten.
 
::::::::Perhaps we still can talk about this whenever possible again. Maybe in a locked channel in IRC?

:::::::::Except that we wouldn't have this conversation if it weren't for my preference to not use IRC given my tendency to miss things. I believe the whole thing spawned because some like me didn't want to use IRC so we were looking for alternate ways?

Frankly, I myself easily miss things in IRC as well, so I had no idea what got into me suggesting that. Probably because I thought others don't have the same fate as mine. Creating a new wiki seems like... too much. :s [[User:Nikel23|'''<span style="color:#007FFF; text-shadow: #ACE5EE 0 4px 4px;">Nikel</span>''']] [[User talk:Nikel23|<span style="color: #30D5C8 ; text-shadow: #00FFEF 0 4px 4px;"><sub>''Talk''</sub></span>]] <sub>–</sub> [[The Sims Wiki:Featured Media/Voting|<span style="color:red ; text-shadow:#E97451 0 4px 4px;"><sub>''Vote for Featured Media!''</sub></span>]] 19:06, June 17, 2012 (UTC)
