To recognize outstanding citizens in the Land of TOE, we will be presenting a 'Member of the Quarter' award once every three months. Members will be filtered based on criteria listed below. Of those members, the 10 with the highest reputation will be presented in a poll in which all members may vote. After a week or so, the member with the highest number of votes will when the award.

To qualify for 'Member of the Quarter' you must meet the following qualifications:

1. You must be an Initiated Member. Basically, this just means you must have made at least 5 posts.
2. You must have joined ToeQuest before the beginning of the quarter or October 1st, 2007.
3. You must have posted in each month of the quarter: October, November, and December.
4. You must have a reputation of 11 or greater. A members default reputation is 10.
5. You cannot have won the previous 'Member of the Quarter' award.
6. Administrators, chat bots, and moderators are not eligible.

For the quarter ending December 31, 2007 we have 8 qualifying members that appear on the poll. All of these members should be thanked for being active in our community and having elevated reputations. You may vote for multiple members if you wish. Also, your votes will be anonymous.

Let the voting begin...

Oooh, that was close, I almost tied it up! I didn't see the number of votes before I voted so it was a fun surprise. I'm still glad I voted for who I voted for, even though I think he has a tendency to put his foot in his mouth.

I thought I could vote for two because it allowed two check marks but I think the second choice lost out..sorry (I won't say who)

Are you sure? It's set up as a multiple choice poll, so should have registered both of your options. A quick check is to see whose names are in italics on the poll when you view it after you have voted. These are the people that you have voted for.

Thanks, guys.

Robert sent me a picture of a pure gold cup a while back—the real one hasn't arrived in the mail yet. (That's what I get for putting pictures in the threads!)

Once, I put a picture of some cheese in a mousetrap, but all I caught was a picture of a mouse.

Lately, I've been getting some books ready to put on Amazon via www.createspace.com. It's the best deal ever—free—they even pay for ISBN and bar code, normally $100 through other places. This is what I've been waiting for—no books to stock in a warehouse—an all digital process for print or e-book.

Hi Austin. I placed your award on the ToeQuest awards page at http://www.toequest.com/forum/awards.php for all to see, but you can see it in its full glory below:

It cost me a dollar . Money well spent I would say.

Congratulations Austin!

Who's going to be next???
