Giveaway Goings-On: I Need a New Title!
Of the dozens and dozens of tasks that the Thoughts Team undertakes in order to make this the absolute best site on the Web, the task that's always been the most fun for me is to help coordinate contests and giveaways. In the past, Jason and the other team members have done a great job of making giveaways look simple and quick to implement. The truth is, though, that an ever-growing number of vendors is offering to sponsor a growing volume of increasingly complex giveaways for a booming population of patrons of this burgeoning Thoughts resource.
That's where I come in.
Jason has asked me to relieve him of the day-to-day challenge of coordinating this plethora of Pocket PC Thoughts contests and giveaways. I think this will be an absolute BLAST, and I can't wait to get started ...but we are faced with a few issues that need to be immediately addressed:
*I have to revive and re-post the famed "No Whining Contest Doctrine of 2001,"
*I need to practice saying, "All decisions are final and the judges thank you for your participation," and most importantly,
*We need to decide what esteemed job title I'll be using as I dutifully accept this immense responsibility.
What job title do YOU think most effectively conveys the dignity and unbiased decorum with which I shall be serving? Please vote for your favorite title below, or if you have a title in mind that might fit better, please post it to this thread for us to consider (and remember that this is a PG-13-rated site and that my feelings get hurt very easily).
As soon as we get this figured out, I'll jump in with a brand new giveaway ASAP!

I don't believe it. I actually got the first vote! (edit -- but missed the first post). I voted for Prize Poobah. I can think of several others, but most are not PG-13 and involve the term "Shoveler." 
Actually, Brad, I've enjoyed everything you've done for PPCT over the years and can't wait to see the enhancements you'll bring to the prize giveaways, which are always a lot of fun....even though I've never won anything <nudge, nudge, wink, wink>.

I voted for Sultan of Swag, but I really don't think any of those titles are sufficiently dignified. How 'bout Judge? Or King? Or The One Who Must Be Bribed?

I voted for Sultan of Swag but Contest Concierge has a certain ring to it.

I voted for Sultan of Swag, but I really think your title should be "Supreme Commander of Swag (Don,t like it? Tough, don't whine about it)"

Hmm... what about "Cheif Competition Officer" in short CCO ? 
Edit: seems like someone had a similar idea already...
