Um, actually i think it was Wayfriend. :oops:
Cheers anyway. :P

But, did you offer to nominate a recipe thread/post in exchange for some goodies?

Besides, I don't think you're far enough from Gator Town to justify the experiment... ;)

Well Es, I haven't heard back from either Wayfriend or Syl regarding receiving goodies, so now the offer goes to you.

Would you like to receive an occasional box of goodies while I experiment with packaging them for shipment?

PM me your snail mail address, and wait.

I have to move and get settled first. Maybe get a puppy and house trian him. Etc., etc., etc...

Plus, I have four years of getting Beorn through high school before it really becomes a priority. But, when I get an inking to experiment, you'll be my guinea pig, OK?

Man, I was sure I fixed that.

Well, it looks like that's about it. Congratulations again to all the awardees and the nominees. Also, a big thanks to everyone's participation. I think it went a lot better this year than last year.

I'd like to thank VS for helping out. I felt kind of swamped for a bit. Also Alynna for extending the poll options. Thanks, Jay, for setting up the forum.

I'd also like to thank you all for the Mod of the Year vote. Thanks for making me break my rules. The award really does make me feel good. Even though I was tempted to cast my 5-point vote for Avatar, since it didn't come down to a tie... he'll have to be content with Watcher of the Year.

So, any thoughts on how it went? Things we can do better next time?

Please, feel free to use the forum to prepare for next year's (or this year's, whatever) awards. New categories, nominations, and all that.

Jay (or other admins), maybe move the forum down into the Links section?
