Hello gang - it's past midnight here so that means it's now Christmas Day FWFR-time. Huzzah. To stave off some of that inevitable festive gloom or perhaps further enhance your Christmas cheer here's a couple of things I'd like to suggest for our amusement.
First up - spread some love around. Today and perhaps over the next few days... visit pages of random people on the site - reviewers who you particularly enjoy, perhaps new members, or old friends we don't see much any more and sprinkle them with vote love. It's a sort of secret santa - gifts delivered anonymously and with seasonal goodwill. We all know getting fresh votes is very nice... so be a giver and bestow some joy!
Additionally I would like to suggest everyone post here a link to a page of your own reviews and a page of one person you would like other people to visit. If you enter this little Christmas fest, you just need to visit all the links posted and go play merry on their reviews. Everyone is welcome as always, the more the merrier, perhaps up until January 1st?

Christmas Day is a birthday of course, so I'm going to highlight a page of the person who gave birth to this particular bundle of joy...

Wishing you all a very merry Christmas indeed. (Humbug optional.)

I've now visited all the links above. Unfortunately, nearly everyone posted their top pages, and so I had carefully considered most of the reviews before; on top of that, some of the links were for All reviews, so I had already voted for most of them. However, I gave votes wherever I could.
No one has been to my page yet (as far as I can tell: ninety-six of the reviews haven't been through the F.Y.C.T.H. yet so I would hope to be able to notice each visit), although someone has been to the page after it and Ali has definitely had some votes. |

I've also now visited all the links.
Unlike Salopian I altered several links to actually enter into the spirit of this particular game - that of seasonal goodwill and "giving" - it's not especially difficult to switch to "unvoted" or even find a different page of reviews, but there we go. |

Thanks for the moral highground, but if people can't be bothered to give optimal links that's up to them; I'd rather give more votes to those who can. Seeing as by the late stage I voted, no one had visited my link, I don't feel too bad about it. |

| It certainly makes a change for someone else to take the moral highground. I'm pretty sure that most people haven't voted yet, but again I think you've missed the point. The idea of this game was about giving not receiving, hence voting on pages of people who aren't necessarily on the fourum, and spreading some joy. But you don't really do that around here, do you? |

Hey Demmo ... I'm guessing your post is about Salopian or whatever he calls himself. As you know for well over a year now, if anything's got his name on it, I totally ignore it -- but from your description I can't think of anyone else it might apply to 
Meanwhile, I'm hereby GIVING you my bestest greetings for 2011. Live long and fwfr!
