So how do you do a write-in?
 
2002-05-01 03:16:36 PM
Not if I have to register again.

How do you write in?

At the bottom of each catagory there's a spot to do a write-in.

Vote AskPeeves.com for humor! (And you Brits can vote AskPeeves.com for humour.)

Webbys suck.
 
2002-05-01 03:20:28 PM
Since I never heard of the Webbys before it was mentioned here, would it really help Fark anyways if they DID recognize you ?

Must ask coworkers if they've heard of Webbys.

Webbys will be doomed if it is hosted by Whoopie Goldberg.

Webbys suck , but we cant possibly let these other freaks (lego death? Please.) win without a fight.

Signup is simple. You give your email addy, first and last name, they email you a pw (it's in your mailbox before the sound of the mouse click hits your ear), you enter the pw they gave and vote. Humor and News.. appropriate..

A list of people that suck and picked the crap ass list of "nominees" are found here.

Never heard of the Webbys? It's just as shallow and insipid as the Grammys and the Oscars, but it involves the internet. I think they've been doing 'em since '97 or so.
 
2002-05-01 03:24:45 PM
apparently you have to pay 85 dollars to add Fark to a category.

fark webby's.
 
2002-05-01 03:25:37 PM
Blasphemy !!!
 
2002-05-01 03:27:29 PM
The webbys are a cheesy, lame, anachronistic juggernaut for snooty Silicon Valley posers. Be GLAD it didn't get nominated. WE know Fark is the best...I'm sure we all tell our friends Fark is the best. Why the fark would you want a bunch of AOL know-nothings to happen upon fark because they think it's won some award that really means nothing? The web isn't the farking movies...why the HELL should there be a award show?
 
2002-05-01 03:27:31 PM
The list of people who picked nominees is impressive.. Scott Adams(dilbert), Beck, Bjork, David Bowie . . .
 
2002-05-01 03:29:00 PM
There, I voted. Do I get a cookie?
 
2002-05-01 03:30:37 PM
I just did a write in vote for Fark and it didn't mention anything about $85. I think that is just to have it as a named choice.
 
2002-05-01 03:30:47 PM
Ok folks, the helpdesk agent in me has to help some of yall out, we can't let frickin ninjaburger be the leading write in, we can win this shiat.

On the front page click People's Voice Awards, a pop-up window will open.

Register to vote.

Check your email and go back to the pop-up and log in.

I just want to see FARK in a Vera Wang dress at the shriners entrance, not the award show.
 
2002-05-01 03:33:32 PM
Fark is already the leading write in for News. 6 percent of the vote.

NinjaBurger is the leading write in for Humor.
 
2002-05-01 03:38:46 PM
so...would the Palestinian's be unrested b/c of a 'Palestinian uprising'???

Do we need to stroke Drew's ego even more? Jeez.

Wait! Don't ban me! I'm sorry, it was a jo

fark is the leading write in for Fashion too :)

And it doesn't cost 85$!
 
2002-05-01 03:43:43 PM
fark that, there are too many people on Fark as it is. I dont want the AOL (l)users finding Fark and turning this in to some farked up version of one of their chat rooms. They will suck up all the bandwidth, forcing more of us to click banners and donate via paypal to pay for a site that they will eventually turn into the internet's version of a drooling contest.

I know Fark is the best, you know Fark is the best, Everyone on this board knows Fark is the best. No retarded award event will change that.
 
2002-05-01 03:55:52 PM
fark is leading write in for kids site :)

and sorry Solstice but the secret is already out... If you look at the comments thingy for the humor section on the webby site there is already a little battle between NinjaBurger, SA, and fark... And there is no chance of Fark (or any other write in) winning... It would just be nice to get the most write in's.

Matt... I am glad you LIVE IN A VAN DOWN BY THE RIVER.
 
2002-05-01 04:09:55 PM
ya think they'll take FARK seriously since we prolly just FARKED their server for the write ins ?? I can't send mine
 
2002-05-01 04:12:02 PM
It's worth the money to get a quiet place away from trolls like Mattfoleyconstipationalspeaker

Farker ACF (Larry) got nominated for a Webby. (Poynter.org) Will you guys do me a solid and help stuff the ballot box with votes? (Only if you find it truely worthy though)
 
2002-05-01 04:26:15 PM
I voted for fark on all... and added some pro-fark category comments.

On the other webby thread, it WAS pointed out that fark seems to have a lot less original content than these other sites, as we link to other people's content (take today's pimping of several Cosmiverse articles).

The true original content in fark is right here in the "comments thingee", written by visitors of the site, not the admin.

Am I the only one who finds the t-shirtsthatsuck.com KittyPorn banner funny on so many levels?
 
2002-05-01 04:33:09 PM
no... I just caught that too.... and they're using OUR CLICHE' KITTY !!!!!
 
2002-05-01 04:44:35 PM
Which category do we nominate in? Spirituality or Fashion? hehe
 
2002-05-01 04:50:33 PM
Is fark really a news or humor website? I think they might mean original content, not links to news or humor. Don't get me wrong, it's great but I don't know if it fits.

I love FARK.

05-01-02 03:42:40 PM was a JOKE.
 
2002-05-01 05:16:57 PM
Goober, don't ever take me seriously either.... or I'll bucket your ass!
 
2002-05-01 06:29:14 PM
Understood, Vegasj. Pelicans!
 
2002-05-01 08:32:31 PM
FARK is just leeching off sites that provide real content, why would it be the best of anything?
 
2002-05-01 08:42:55 PM
This thread pretty much proves that based on the quality of its users, Fark doesn't deserve to win anything at all.
 
2002-05-01 10:48:34 PM
Come on people, Fark has a good shot of winning in the news category... Get out there and vote!

Drew, repost this so people vote for your site... YOU NEED MEDIA COVERAGE! YOU CAN'T BE SO LOW ON THE TRAFFIC LISTS!
