A New way to Top Ten Comments of the Week(IMO)

Hello Fellow Nuggies,

As SC noted in the comments a few weeks ago, like ski bums, many of us here on obnug stick around during football season, and only visit occasionally when the season is done. I keep telling myself that I won't be one of those ski bums, but unfortunately I find myself terribly uninterested in basketball (who makes rules to make it EASIER to score points inside the key? That should be a WWE style grudge match! I digress...).

What it amounts to is a great disservice to you Nuggies (as well as Mr. Brontoya). As you may have noticed, it's been several weeks since I've put up a Top Ten Comments of the Week, and to be completely honest, since I never do anything halfway, getting one up frequently amounted in a lot of extra research and homework over the week, time that was frequently replacing my need to study for classes. Not to mention, my preference for crazy images and Boise State glorifying led to a strongly slanted TTCotW(IMO).

And so, I propose that we shift our focus on how this community post works. How it shifts is up to you. I'll put a couple different suggestions in a poll at the bottom and give some brief descriptions here. If you have any alternate system suggestions, feel free to put em in the comments. Here's some ideas:

Top Commenter Responsibility: Whoever wins the #1 comment of the week gets to pull together the next weeks top 10, posted on a regular day each week. I like this system because it will likely be maintained by interested parties (no matter the season) and we'll get a different perspective on who likes what about the site and comments, instead of just one viewpoint, consistently reflecting the spirit of the "who is OBNUG?" post that's up right now. Also, one person wouldn't have to bear the burden each week, making it a simple pleasure we'd all enjoy, instead of a burden a single one of us would have to carry. I'd recommend starting with SC, largely because he's my favorite commenter on the blog, and I know he'll do a good job with the first new edition.

Pick a New Guy: OV messed up and it's time to put the responsibility on someone new. Just pick someone, anyone. This is a legacy that needs to continue

If you love it, set it free: Top ten is fun, but maybe we should just let it be a convenience post by whoever wants to use the headline, instead of a weekly thing.

Assign it to the Boss-Men: Have Kevan or one of the other site owners put one up for us, could be a fun insight into what the owners are interested in (and how we can one of our fanposts on the coveted front page!)

That's all I got for now. Sorry for not following up better on picking up the job, but this semester won't be as easy as the last and I won't be able to do the job you Nuggies deserve.

Forever your defender of all things Blue and Orange,
