smartman Posted October 3, 2015 Share Posted October 3, 2015 Yeah, yellow or gold text on white is a big no-no. The number isn't too bad as it is big, but words, especially as they're small really hurts your eyes to read. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anderz Posted October 3, 2015 Author Share Posted October 3, 2015 I've made a few tweaks based on the suggestions; hopefully this is a little bit more presentable. Thanks for the input everyone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xendarii Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 Looks better for me! I kinda liked the gold, maybe you could find a darker gold that is readable on white background because it looks more special to see "DOTM WINNER" in such a color than in black or grey, but apart from that, I'm perfectly happy with your new layout.

James Casey Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 Looks great, Anderz. Thanks for doing this while angel's off the grid. And thanks for everyone who voted for my diary, too. I'm delighted to have won the CV DOTM award Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BHK1978 Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 I just want to echo what everyone else has been saying. You have done a great job with this Anderz, I love the chart it has a very polished look to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Nickman Posted October 5, 2015 Share Posted October 5, 2015 Wow, I've only just seen the results of this poll and I can honestly say I'm blown away by this! To even be nominated for DOTM against some of the great writers such as The Final Countdown, Beejus and so many others is a great honour on its own, but to somehow win it?? Words cannot describe for me how humbled I am by this achievement. I have to give a massive thanks to my loyal readers who diligently vote on every show, honestly without them, this dynasty would be absolutely nothing. I simply love putting their ideas together each and every week and I genuinely never know which direction my WWF is going to turn next! Finally, a big shoutout to Anderz, this has been an impressive start to the new DOTM, the layout is great and the logic behind the voting can't be faulted. Well done!

The Final Countdown Posted October 26, 2015 Share Posted October 26, 2015 When does voting start every month? I believe the new plan is to open up voting on the first of the following month and run for a week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anderz Posted October 27, 2015 Author Share Posted October 27, 2015 When does voting start every month? I believe the new plan is to open up voting on the first of the following month and run for a week. Indeed, a voting thread for October DOTM will be posted on (or as close as I can get to) the 1st of November and will stay open for 7 days.

Anderz Posted November 13, 2015 Author Share Posted November 13, 2015 <hr noshade size=3> OCTOBER 2015 DOTM RANKINGS <hr noshade size=3> In the latest installment of the Diary of the Month Awards, we had an incredible 29 voters voting for 37 different diaries - but after all the votes were counted there was one runaway winner. Second place was hotly contested as 4 diaries were separated by just 3 votes. The Lloyd returns to prominance to take a well-deserved victory; capturing both the Overall and Real World awards. Second overall was Voeltzwagon, who claims the C-Verse crown - with joint third-place Dave_Scott making an impressive debut outing to take the New Writer award. Unfortunately for the T-Verse contingent, only 1 diary received a vote - so the unfairly low rated MJStark takes the award by default. Last month's overall winner falls down to 21st in the overall rankings; a sign of how competitive it is here on the diary board and of the overall quality of the writing. <table border="1" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>RANK</td><td>DIARY</td><td>POINTS</td><td>MOD</td><td>VOTES</td><td>AVG</td></tr><tr><td>#1</td><td>WWE: 2016 - Kayfabe Kicks Out [Link] by The Lloyd *DOTM WINNER* *BEST REAL WORLD*</td><td>43</td><td>RW</td><td>12</td><td>3.6</td></tr><tr><td>#2</td><td>All Action Wrestling: Canada's.....Not so Finest [Link] by Voeltzwagon *BEST CORNELLVERSE*</td><td>31</td><td>CV</td><td>7</td><td>4.4</td></tr><tr><td>#3</td><td>TNA: Righting the Wrongs [Link] by Dave_Scott *NEW WRITER*</td><td>29</td><td>RW</td><td>11</td><td>2.6</td></tr><tr><td>#3</td><td>WWE: The Longest-Running Weekly Episodic Cluster of Shows in TV History!

AMarc9-8 Posted November 13, 2015 Share Posted November 13, 2015 Pleased with an opening position of 21st what makes it even better is that I'm amongst truly accomplished diary writers who IMO are absolutely phenomenal at it, almost feels like I'm not worthy to be there, congratulations Lloyd, you've outdone yourself yet again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xendarii Posted November 13, 2015 Share Posted November 13, 2015 Congratulations, The Lloyd!

KeyR1 Posted November 14, 2015 Share Posted November 14, 2015 Thank you so much for the votes people, I feel honored to be involved with and set on this board as highly as I am, especially as well. To even have people enjoy my writing is a huge bonus for me regardless of or if people thinking highly enough of my "product" to even vote for it!!! Everybody else on this list deserves heaps of praise too. I have sat here now for nearly 3 hours and gone over most of your diaries and wow, there is so truly amazing work so far. I am truly beaming from one side of my face to the other. Thank you so much all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Lloyd Posted November 14, 2015 Share Posted November 14, 2015 Humbled by this This is my new diary's first recognition in DOTM I believe, and I finished in around 20th in September, so to climb this month and win means a lot I've always said that I write because I like to write, but it's nice to hear people are fans and that people read my work. I want to send a shoutout to Anderz as I feel he's taken a really good DOTM award system in the one we had with Angel, and turned it into something even better! The table looks really smart, and the new system seems to work really well too (not that I'm biased). Well done to everyone who received a vote, and a BIG thankyou to everyone who voted for me!
