Wouldn't it be cool to have a button in each post to allow us to vote for it as Post of the Day/week/whatever? Maybe up there with the reply/quote buttons, and a separate page that would tally the results?

 ...errr, I mean YES!  I like this idea.  I would personally think post of the "week".

Perhaps separate (or maybe not in your way of thinking Bear) flagging of inspirational race reports would also be very helpful/beneficial.  There's a gold-mine of great stuff among the reports that I wouldn't mind re-reading.

Hmmm. Both good ideas. I really like the Race Report one. I'm not crazy about "best of" lists for forums generally, but POTD or POTW both have potential and the Race Reports forum is a unique animal.

Does anyone know of a forum site that has a Post of the Day feature or something similar? I'd like to see one in action if possible.

I personally like my "I'm not a drunk...but I play one on BT" and think it should be nominated. 

I think RR of the week, or having options to vote such as Funniest RR and Inspirational RR of the week would be nice.

I like the idea, of course. But the giver in me thinks it would be unfair to everyone else.

I don't understand the question.  Are there other forum sites?    On my RR idea, in retrospect, it might turn into EVERYONE flagging EVERY race report.  Maybe not, but it might.  A solution could be Comets RR of the week, with only those sort of being "flagged" for future browsing.  That might get me to read a RR I otherwise didn't take the time to read for a variety of reasons.

Or a way for individual users to flag WHATEVER THREAD they want for their own personal use.  For, eg, I recall reading TriTakeMeAway (I think) ironman race report and finding it moving.  I also found a Race Wheel comparison thread on tubulars vs. clinchers thread interesting.  If I could non-publicly flag those for my own personal browse later, that'd be cool.

I just add these to my favorites on Internet Explorer. And no, there are no other forums outside of BT. That was just a myth.

On craigslist you can vote any post "best of".  Periodically the top vote getters are posted here: http://www.craigslist.org/about/best/all/

And don't forget to add a "punishment feature" for anyone caught pimping his/her own post!

Ooooooh, this was actually my big idea. At the end of the (calendar) year, I was going to have an Oscars/Espy awards ceremony -- we could call it the "Beeties"! Ha! I crack myself up.

Anyway, the way I thought I would do it is I would call for nominations in each of several categories:

Funniest RR
Most Inspirational RR
RR in which the most things go wrong
Best Jockstrap in an RR
RR with a surprise finish

and so on. Then, after collecting nominations in a thread, we could have a poll and vote for each of the winners in each category.
