Ah, that time of year again. I'm really going to have to start taking notes through out the year to keep track of all this stuff, well I should have some good ideas of who I want to vote for after I look back over some threads from the year.

Lets just steer away from all of that mainly out of respect for Jonny's thread.

He added quite a few, and scrapped quite a few too. Thought it was quite well-rounded out, overall. Sure he didn't add every single idea, but I don't think that "Sexiest User" would have gone done all that smoothly.

unlike a delicious instant vanilla protein shake.

I was meaning to do that, but that was a resolution that literally only lasted about thirty seconds. So if I vote for like, a dog for "Favourite Artist", I accept full responsibility but I also think it was funny and totally worth it.

Certain categories ended up getting removed because of certain issues......
But I completely forgot to add "Sexiest Art Reg", my bad :C

[Tomsan]

although I understand that you wanna keep this a positive list, it could've used something like

best in taking critique & worst in taking critique, although the outcome of the latter wont be much of a surprise.

I got rid of the negative and insulting categories specifically because I don't want more bullshit and drama happening in the forum. There's been too much of it as is, and I don't want to unnecessarily cause more.

I only wish to remind people to perhaps consider me for my modest improvement in the short time I've been here.

Anyone who doesn't vote johnny for most helpful user is not even human.

No.

Nope, nuh, absolutely not.

Don't start this bullshit, Template. You have no idea how horribly, horribly well in can screw up the good-natured intent of these awards. Vote exactly how you want, from your own subjective standpoint. If a threads been helpful from your perspective even if it was utterly useless from everyone else's, vote for it anyway.

Do not any under circumstances try to coerce or guilt other people's votes. It never ends well.

there's enough of that awful, awful approach in the BBS awards

I'm going to have to agree with Lintire here.
While I do appreciate the sentiment behind it, in no way should anyone try to sway other's votes. The whole thing is subjective and I think everyone should have their own opinions regardless of what other's say.

Too much homestuck.

Sorry Johnny boy (I promise it won't happen again)
Did you have any other categories in mind? (Seems rather short)

Nope, just the 12 categories.
Up until this year, it has always been 10 categories, but I did some remodeling since I'm now the one who runs them. Sure it's not as many as the General forum BBS awards, but then again, we're not like them and nor do I want negative categories.

Best Forum Reg implies that forum regulars are in some way good
