Gratz to everyone who was nominated and good luck! :)
I think that the Dronies have always been about who or what has entertained us the most. To say that some Shakespearean Review should be in the nominations over some Will-Ferrell-styled Review is based on what you find more entertaining. I find Will Ferrell to be more entertaining than Shakespeare. Dude might have been cool in the 16th century. That was 500 years ago.

Also, waffles.

Southpaw, are you saying that the only contemporary thing to do is make a postmodern, deliberately crap review? :D

What else would the review dronie have gone down to? Well written reviews are praised when they're on the home page, but seldom remembered by anyone but the featuree afterwards. Whereas comedic if silly reviews will always be remembered by more people and are much easier to search for. It's like N-arts vs action maps all over again.

That said, I don't mind the nominations for the review of the year category. You couldn't really expect any other result empirically...

Although, maybe they should make a "humor stunt" dronie for reviews like DragonBallZ and for the whole Palemoon thing.

I actually think this would be a great idea, along with maybe seperate comic categories for serious/action and comedic comics. Or am I whining too much? :P

I originally said in the first post that you can change your votes, but I'm taking that back. As it now says on NUMA,
--- YOU ARE ONLY ALLOWED TO VOTE ONCE.

--- YOU ARE NOT ALLOWED TO CHANGE YOUR VOTE IN ANY CATEGORY.

--- YOU MAY DECIDE TO NOT VOTE IN A CATEGORY BUT YOU ARE NOT ALLOWED TO VOTE IN THAT CATEGORY AFTER YOU HAVE CAST YOUR BALLOT.
Sorry for the inconvenience!

" Welcome to Numa.

Hahaha - That should go without saying :P
But when I first read it I thought it said YOU MUST USE IE O_o

Anyway, I'm glad you guys listened and opted to go with the more intuitive radio button voting system. And the numa security thing is a nifty addition. I'll put my votes is soon, however, am I allowed to vote for anything I was apart of?

I'm not certain, but I think if you weren't allowed to nominate something you were a part of then you probably aren't allowed to vote for it either.

Also, the second page of this thread is one of the worst I've ever read. You should be ashamed. You know who you are.
