Hi All, Sometimes after these nominations people ask me or others "why wasn't I nominated?" Honestly it is easy to forget people sometimes (sorry if you are one of the forgotten). It is also really easy to think "oh I thought you were already a member." Or to think someone was being nominated by someone else.
So anyway, if you want a nomination I would suggest letting a HOT member know. It doesn't then obligate them to nominate you, but at least it reminds them that you exist and are interested=D.
