I honestly see no point in doing it. But, I'll let you guys decide on if we should bring it back or not.
If you do want to bring it back, feel free to nominate members for it and the staff will choose one of the nominations as the winner.
 Thanks, Crizy.

//Why would I want to win something if there is no benefit or prize for it?//
Just because the reward doesn't have monetary value doesn't mean that it's not a reward worth attaining. =) It's called respect and an honor.

I was going to reply and say something liek that, But then ididn't for some reason...
Anyways, I think we should still have it because there are the chances it could increase activity, clean up the boards a little and reduce flame, and keep some of the older members here longer, or maybe keep some noobs from leaving after one post.

Its just not enough to convince me to actually try to win something like that. If you do win all that happens is someone says "Congratulations, you won the contest but nothing else happens!" so there is really nothing to gain unless you really care about how people over the internet think of you.
Please tell me if you have GTA IV on either system so I can put you on the list. Need to find cheats? Click the link. Link

I for one do care about how others think of me and it does kinda say something when the Admins/Mods choose you out of what, like maybe 200 people that actually post? I think it would be cool to have someone who obtained the temporary rank of "Member of the Month".

Well thats the thing, your not promoted to a new rank or anything because the admin cant make new ranks or badges so you basically dont gain anything from it unless, like i said you care about what people over the internet who you have never met think about you in which case you make you either insecure or an attention whore.

Right. If there was some extra rank for people who are Members of the Month. That would be something worth receiving.
The honor of having the Admins/Mods choose you out of the 37,000 members (Though most don't post) would be a prize enough for me.

Or, possibly, a NORMAL HUMAN BEING. It's human nature to want to be liked, so you're going to try to be accepted or liked here no matter how hard you try (or say) you don't care. It's all in maturity, If your too immature to give a damn about people's feelings you're either a sociopath (which does have nothing to do with maturity) or here "for the lulz". Basically, you're either a sociopath or immature.

Or it could be that putting effort into this place is pointless. Some people try so hard in order to be liked around here by proving their intellect, their likeablity, or their skills but what is there really to gain? Not much. You can say that you have been accepted somewhere but online websites are not reality. If you want to try to be repected and liked then you should put effort into it in real life not the internet. Of course if you can eaisly be liked by people on the internet without any effort then good for you but actually trying to put effort into it seems like a waste of time.

I'm pretty sure thev'e made new badges overtime. I never saw anything but a mod badge whn I first jioned. Unless they had those badges just saved ready to use later on.
I think it should be done again. It's fun anyeay. Not a big deal to argue over.

We had those badges added because we had DAVE to bitch to, using Random (I think). Now it would be pointless, since Random won't do anything for the forums, nor will Dave. So basically, a new badge is out of the question, sadly.
The idea never brought up much activity, but it didn't bring up much controversy neither. It was fun for a bit, but like STM, it crashed and burned and just lost all meaning. When I was made the first MOTM, the thread actually was a bit active. That's cause everything in the beginning seems awesome. Eventually, it just lost interest and not too many people cared about it. The inactivity int he Arbi MOTM announcement thread is a good example. And even if we DID continue MOTM, how long would it be before we found ourselves choosing the same members over and over? Not long, I can tell you that. This forum's active members number isn't great, so of course we'd get repetitive with the decisions.
It was always a good idea, but we'd be wasting our time taking it any further.

Although that is true Cip, if someone gets the award of MOTM THAT often, then maybe they should be considered to be promoted to an Elite. This could be a good way to sift through the members and find the ones who deserve to be an Elite.

Member of the Month is suppose to be a fun thing. I will agree on Cheatmaster on one thing, I think that the community should have say on who is the person of the month. After all, it is the members who made CCC possible and it can thrive without the staff. I consider the staff not as mods and admins, but as members. Nothing more nothing less.
If the community does not want member of the month, then I see no point of starting the contest back up.

The thing is...This has happened when my wife WASN'T home...I think it may be my 17 year old daughter. I've looked in her room and she has some of the same sex toys and she has written in her journal that she is into that same kind of fetish. What should I do?" - Pablo on Yahoo answers

I would want it. Like I said, it is almost an opportunity for the Admins/Mods to easily see who has been voted MOTM most often and could promote them to Elites.

If this place is pointless to put effort into.. Then why do you put so much effort in trying to prove its pointless? And like crazy said... Its HUMAN NATURE to want to be liked... Its also somewhat human nature to want to feel at least a little superior to those around you in some way or another.
