This could be a great feature to add to the forum, to get more people to post actual debates, to post nice things etc.

You could have a forum member that is member of the month for each section, so...

"Big Brother" (while it's on)
"Other Television"
"General Chat"
"Serious Debates"
"Chat and Games"
"Music/Films/Sport"
"General Interests"
"Suggestions/Help + New additions"

You don't have to have all of those catergories... but I think they are the main ones that members could actually contribute alot too... for example... Chat and Games... a member could keep people entertained by doing mini games etc, so therefore the admins/mods whatever you want, can decide which member deserves the Member of the Month award.

Maybe the winning members, for that month can have an icon through that month then when it changes, swap it over. Or, you could just keep a little of the members who won members of the month and under what catergory.

Example:

The Member(s) of the month are...

Big Brother - Julian

Other Television - Henry

General Chat - Jon Claude

Serious Debates - Lopez

Chat and Games - Pix

Music/Films/Sport - Shanaynay

General Interests - Pauline

Suggestions/Help + New additions - Bert


Obviously like I said it doesn't have to be all of them catergories you could have just 3 that covers them all like "Reality", "General", "Suggestions".

I think this will be good and just post it in the Announcements section at the end of the month... then atleast the Announcements section can be used for something else too. It's not alot of work for you admins/mods as you will see through the month who has made good threads/post and which members deserves the titles. Maybe Mark or James can make the thread, or a Moderator.

Just a suggestion. I think it'll work well and will give the forum a better atmosphere because people will improve (maybe) to start actually posting less abusive threads and more chat worthy, debatable threads.

I just think it's something the forum needs. It's fresh.
