Watcher of the year
Newbie of the year
Moderator of the year
So, if anybody has any other suggestions, post them here (there can't be too many categories, the way I see it). From the fun and frivolous to the serious and well-deserved. I'd like to have little images as awards for people to put in their sigs or maybe even under their avatars, so if anybody is interested in helping put those together, let me know.

We'll start the ballots the monday after this one, the 7th of November. It's going to be a secret ballot. Anyone that's voting will send it to me via PM. Since I'm counting all these, I'm out of the running for this one, though unless anybody minds, I think I'll hold my vote for the case of a tie.

So, anyway, have at it.

Best topic would be nice. 'Best Post' is a very broad spectrum.

Alright, then. One for each. Making good posts and making good topics are two different skills.

I can help with "stuff". ;) Nowhere near edge and jay, but I can do pix and links and "stuff".

But I don't see a category for "Biggest Fire in The Tank"? :roll:

How about "Best Beating by a Moderator"?

or "Best [Mod Edit]"?

You can only win one award, man.

And I believe in you
altho you never asked me too
I will remember you
and what life put you thru.

~this world was never meant for one as beautiful as you~

...for then I could fly away and be at rest. Sweet rest, Mom. We all love and miss you.

This sounds great! What about "Most creative SRD-related username" and "Most creative non-SRD related username"?
