Just to clear up a couple of things -

1 - when putting forward a nomination for Poster of the Year please use a poster who is actually registered with the forum and that has posted in the last 12 months.

and 2 - When voting for thread of the Year i mentioned "Not including individual County threads", this was meaning of course County "News" threads, ie Tyrone GG News, Kerry GG News etc.

I don't think the site generates enough traffic to have a poster of the year tbh.
