OK THIS ISN'T RUNNING COMPLETELY SMOOTHLY

This is my first time playing around with wordpress and leaving comments seems to fuck the whole thing up, so I've disabled them for now.

I've also heard from a lot of people that nobody can log in. I'll fix this up as soon as I can, I might just have to delete everyone and redo them. If this is the case, everyone let me know what your official name is and I'll give you a new email address at the same time.

Looking at the message I sent everyone, it wasn't entirely clear - I wrote "The password is the same as your email address", when I should have written "The password is the same as the password I set for your email address". Someone let me know if this is the solution.

Also, we need a logo. I'm great at doing retarded pictures, not so good at doing anything that looks professional. Can someone else have a go at this?

Also, until I've fixed everything up, either gaz me or post your stuff here. I'll put it up as soon as I see it.

Cheers

OK HERE WE GO

We now have an official website: www.superiordesignawards.com, and we all have official email addresses to send our awards from.

I'm still working on the website and I'll send invites to all of you soon. If you can all take a few minutes to come up with a profile to add to the "meet the team" page it would be great - a few lines of text and a photo is plenty. Make sure the photo isn't too ridiculous - we want people to take this seriously.

This blog should be used to discuss all plans and to explain any jokes that might not be picked up on by a casual onlooker. Make sure that if we chat on b3ta we still post it here so that outsiders can get the jokes.

What is the deal with this place?

This place was inspired by a post from mofaha:

___________________

Also, while doing research for a new winning design concept I think I may have found a new game to play. Check these out. There are some rare beauties among them, and generally if you go to a site with a particularly bad one on it, you usually find many more, usually on the same page ("Our Awards!!").
I really do think we should make some horribly tacky awards of our own and look for 'deserving' recipients, send them along with a nice email... could even be newsletter material, see just how bad/bizarre we can make the awards before they're refused.

So the short of it is that we have decided to run with this. We have a few plans:

- To see how retarded/vulgar/odd we can make our awards before people stop adding them to their site

- To see if we can get anyone to actually change the layout/font/font size/content of their website just to get one of our awards

- To see if we can get sites to compete for a number 1 in a top-ten style award

- To be dicks on the internet

Here are a few conversations we've had about it so far:
