I'm really disappointed with the categories. =\ They were fine for last month, but when I did MOTM back in April, I spent about a week pressing out all my ideas and condensing them to about 15 different ones. I did all this research and I sifted through tons of posts trying to figure out what people liked best about MOTM and what they disliked the most... it took a lot of work.

And then this month we get a thread that's virtually identical to last month's. Right down to the presidential thing which ALREADY ENDED. It just... really takes away from the excitement and stuff, you know? -_-;

Maybe it should be done by someone who is known for being creative, but not to the point where the categories are silly.
It needs a bit more thought as Lightning said. The categories are getting a bit too....repetitive. What it needs is to be completely redone, if only for one month, just to try something new.
Maybe let the last MotM be the one who arranges it or something.
As long as it keeps reinventing itself, it should keep going strong each month.

Actually, as long as it's completely redone once, we probably need not worry about it for a year. <_< (Most) people don't really change it all that much from month to month. It requires effort. God forbid we should put a little effort into the things we volunteer for. (I mean come on... it's not like you're FORCED to do this, people. x_X)

Mmm... we should at least brainstorm a few new categories instead of idling by doing nothing but complaining. XD;

Well I agree. Maybe pick someone you know will make changes to it.
DOn't just let anyone volunteer and take charge of it.
As to the new categories,
maybe something along the lines of :
Most Annoying Member
Most Creative Member
Stricktest Mod
Most Rule Crazy Member
Along these lines maybe. :D

Mmm... we try to stay away from the negative categories (like most annoying member). Really, most people would be too reluctant to fill it out anyway, since they don't like causing uproars or commotions, and really, it would just lead to people feeling hurt. ^_^;

;_; We had most creative, once. I wonder what happened to that.

I think it’s silly. I know the staff don’t get involved in this stuff, but I think booking should only go up to like, 3 months. I mean look at this month. Obviously Haruka didn’t want to do it, so she just rushed it. But back when she signed up, like, a year ago, she did. Things change, and such. @[email protected];

I agree, the questions were a bit...bland.
My heart's a graveyard, baby.
And to evil we make love
on our passion's killing floor.
In my arms you won't sleep safely.
And of lust we are re-born
on our passion's killing floor.

Well, there are some things that people reserve months for. Like, I think way back in September last year, I reserved April since that's the month of my birthday. =o That worked out well, and I don't think anyone expected Alyssa not to be here regularily at this point.

But really, maybe we should wipe the list or something and start fresh. @[email protected]; I mean, Junichi isn't here anymore, along with Phantom Angel.... I dunno. If people really want their months back, they can just sign up again. I also don't think people realize how much work it is. o_O; It's really annoying trying to sift through the ballots of stupid people who can't read the rules (which are VERY simple). x_x;

Oh, and for future reference to anyone that doesn't know the site: http://www.freewebs.com/pokecommunity/
