Honestly though, it shouldn't matter if it's seen as a popularity contest or not. This is a forum. This is the only place anyone could ever be recognized for being the "stoner of the month". I say make a whole slew of awards and hand 'em out like herpes :jointsmile:
(edit: in retrospect, I realized that you don't ever "hand" out herpes. I won't depict what body part you would use to pass it on).
