Title: Fotw Suggestion

if i could make a suggestion, perhaps there could be three-ish catagories to help with the member count issue.
ex.
boards with 75 and under members
boards with 100-400 members
boards with 500+ members
those in the mid range could apply to either or.
i think this would make things more fair for boards with only one/two mmebers here, like an admin or a mod/advertising manager, rather than being overshadowed by a far more popular board that has lots of members who frequent here.
small sites, the ones i've seen at least, are newer and need the advertising more.

I am just not sure. At the moment sign-up numbers are too small to start catagorizing things. With 15 sign-ups, if you have 6 small boards, 7 medium boards and only 2 big forums, it won't be a fair voting.

And as said in the voting topic, the FotW isn't a popularity contest. It's about choosing the best forum, and a bigger forum isn't automatically a better forum then a smaller one. Member count is only a small part of a roleplay. A board with 20 members could be overall much more active then a board with 100 members.

That's why weve implemented the new rules like needing to have 10 posts in order to vote. And that board owners can't ask their members to sign up simply for voting.
