Anyway, due to issues with the previous system of nomination, it has instead now been decided to open up voting for the Project of the Month to all users!
The Information/Details TopicThe Nominations/Voting TopicYou might have noticed that the nominating and voting process is rather fluid, or rather that instead of doing a set period of time for nominations and then another set period of time for voting, it all takes place between when the nominations topic is first posted and the end of the month. Everyone will be able to change their votes during this time if an update to a project different from the one they voted for comes along which makes them change their mind. Previously, a project would be nominated by staff during the third week of the month which sometimes made later updates to projects more difficult to consider.
And although this takes away some of the mystique in how a winner was chosen privately for the award and then announced as the winner at the end of the month, this process still ensures a good chunk of that. In my opinion however, it is ultimately better to give those who work on and enjoy the projects they see on the forum/site the ability to chose what they want. It is also better in that the would-be winner would more fully get to appreciate all of those who supported his or her efforts.
If you have any questions about this, feel free to send me a PM or to just ask in this topic.
