The Emuparadise Forum Awards 2010 (HD REMIX EDITION) (Results Posted!)

How We Got Here (AKA DAT BACKSTORY):

Well, as you've (probably) noticed, we've had a minor mishap with the forums again, and so we've lost several threads of varying importance, like this one. Luckily, the Eldritch Abominations From The Outer Realms (or Tanthias, I've long since stopped trying to tell the difference) have asked me to re-make the yearly re-occurring thread of Emuparadises' long-standing popularity contest, to remind you all exactly where you stand and how much your peers like (or dislike) you. (Yes, the Internet is exactly like High-School, and anyone who tells you different is a dirty liar (and also possibly a whore))

Now, in a perfect world, our Great God Elmdor (glory be his name) is the one who initiates this ceremony, but alas, he seems to still be in hibernation (or shaving his legs, and who knows how long that will take him) so this year, Gare (who I will now refer to as "The Lesser Hungarian God") was the one who announced it. Alas, his work has been undone, but not forgotten; I believe have most of your (relevant) posts from the thread, and will be reposting them in the next post, likely because the grand lot of you are too lazy to do the same work twice.

But first...

The Format (AKA DAT FORMAT)



This is for those of you whom (who? I'm sure it's whom, but if I'm wrong, you'll correct me, you bastards) haven't voted yet and still wish to do so, or want to change your votes (because HAHA, DAT ROLLBACK). The format is as such, if it wasn't obvious, so you know what you're voting for, as well as because if we don't do it like this, whoever has the misfortune of counting the votes this year (likely me, I'm crazy like that) will sodomize any and everyone who makes it difficult to do this shit, possibly while singing the song that ends the world . Seriously, just copy and paste this into your post, and cut out or leave blank the sections you're not going to vote for. Make it easy for us. You don't do that enough. And we'll probably kill you.

That being said, run wild and have fun with this. But not too much fun. :harold:

When does it end (AKA DAT END-DATE)

When does this contest end? No-one knows. Ever. You'll just log in one day and realize Elmdor came back one day in June or some shit, saw the thread and make his witty comments after tallying everything everyone posted, then when off to parts unknown, possibly to save children from a burning building or something, and this process will start all over again at some point again, like the end of October. Like holy crap, the last time we did one, it didn't end till like March. Way to drop the ball, Elmdor. :wacko:

But really, at some point, possibly/probably when Elmdor comes back, he'll tally the votes up, then tell us the results while reminding us how we dropped the ball and how far the forum has fallen in his eyes, like an extremely disappointed father. Or I guess if he's not back by like, January-
February, either me or Gare will do the final tallies and add terribly scathing commentary so that the winners can't truly enjoy the fact that they won. Then again, you're the most popular member of a little known forum on the Internet for a niche hobby, you're clearly doing well in life. Tell your parents. (No I'm not bitter I haven't won anything since I joined the forum in '07, and no-one really remembers me. Do I sound bitter? Well, I'm not. Pricks.)



EDIT: RESULTS POSTED!!! :ahhh:

And I'm back. I see some of you have decided to post/repost your votes for the awards, meaning I don't have to put you up here. Of course, that makes these 4 place holders redundant (THANKS A LOT GUYS). But eh, I'll fill them with cats or something. Everyone likes Mittens, right? :wacko:

So yeah, JOYOUS REPOSTS FOR ALL:

Mistral is just so fascinating and mysterious. I am surprised that no one has yet suggested that such a profound individual may in fact be an artificial intelligence program that has become self-aware; much like Skynet in the Terminator movies.

Favourite admin:
Tanthias and Cookie Monster - both extremely nice and helpful (which, thanks for the staff list earlier in this thread, Tan. I definitely needed it )

Favourite Super-Moderator:
Inferno. Though I haven't had the chance to talk to him much yet.

Favourite moderator:
Ray. Pretty interesting guy from what I've seen lol.

Favourite RetroD00d!:
Gare. Excellent taste in games. I've come to realize I can easily trust his recommendations

The favourite Regular Forumer:
I could just list most of the members I see on here. I'm still in that awkward what-do-I-say stage, but I really enjoy reading what everyone has to say.

The least favourite forumer:
I don't dislike him, but I've noticed I have difficulty...appreciating...posts by GarrenDesares.

Funniest forumer:
Even though he mostly just trolled, Bayer cracked me up. Much of that was due to his sentence structuring, though, and not because of his over-the-top analogies.

Smartest forumer:
Hard to pick just one or even a few. I really like that whole forum is pretty intelligent and coherent, save for some random new members who only post a handful of times and then disappear.

The dumbest forumer:
I'm not going to answer this

Most helpful member:
Cookie, Tan, Gare, Quiji, to name a few off the top of my head.

Most respected member:
Cookie and MasJ, although I've never spoken to the latter or even seen him online.

Nicest forumer:
Tanthias. Everyone's been pretty friendly, though.

Hottest member:
Milady. I don't have a reason for this

Most spammy forumer:
Bayer

Most missed forumer:
I would say Bayer, but I can imagine his antics would get old after a while, so I don't know how much I really miss him.

Least missed forumer:
...Bayer? I haven't known anyone else on here to have left/been banned.

Best thread starter:
Hmmm, I don't know...

Worst thread starter:
GarrenDesares. Sorry, man.

The most shocking EP moment of 2010:
I haven't been here long enough to see anything particularly shocking yet, but Garren and Bayer getting into it pretty badly surprised me.

The favourite moment of 2010:
See one answer above.

The least favourite moment of 2010:
Haven't had one myself.

Best thread of the year:
Gare's Question Yourself: Gaming in 2010 thread is pretty great. I also like Milday's Plushies thread she started today (although I can't see any of the pictures here at work )

Worst thread of the year:
Hrm...

The member most deserving of a mention, without getting one:
Drageuth. We haven't talked all that much, but he just seems like a good guy.

Best Drunko of the year:
I haven't seen anyone drunk yet

Favourite Avatar:
Quiji often has a nice one.

Favourite Signature:
I turn sigs off because I don't want them to draw my coworker's attention, so I have no clue what most members' look like, but again, Quiji seems to have nice ones when I do turn the feature on occasionally.

Favourite Skin:
Default. Least noticeable at work.

The guy who's never offline:
No idea.

Best smilie:
These two make me laugh when I see them

Worst Smilie (Yes, it gets removed! At least that's what Elmdor said!):
I'll go with the Bathroom one.

Favourite overall forumer (MOTY):
I've talked most to Gare, Quiji, and Tan directly, so them.

Favourite LP:
I really enjoyed Gare's Missing LP.

Favourite admin: Either Tan or Cookie. They can fight over the title. I may have to give the advantage to cookie. But alas, jack gets no respect.
Favourite Super-Moderator: None of them, because they're all lazy fucks who don't do shit. Except Fer, occasionally.
Favourite moderator: Hard call between Synthetik and Milady. Milady manages to consistently do a lot (When we were assigned to staff we each had to pick a section or two. She hopped onto the PS2 lists and pretty much handled them alone up until school became an issue), Syn pops up occasionally and does a shitload of stuff all at once (every time I've checked any of the sections I've been supposed to keep an eye on the last week or two (2 more sections than usual since tan was out of town) I ended up awash in a sea of asterisks.)
Favourite RetroD00d!: Ivolt. Because no one else is going to vote for him.
The favourite Regular Forumer: Prude. Forever. Or until she gets retro at least.
The least favourite forumer: deadlegion.
Funniest forumer: I laughed pretty hard at cheezy getting banned. Does that count?
Smartest forumer: Bayer. He knows a napkin when he sees it. Plus he sure managed to fool you lot for a while.
The dumbest forumer: BlackCitadel*randomletterhere*. It's hilarious.
Most helpful member: Synthetik. It counts because he's most helpful to me, dammit.
Most respected member: Mistral? Yeah, I'll go with that.
Nicest forumer: I'd say Ed, but I recently discovered that he secretly harbours an unbridled rage towards all living things.
Hottest member: Prude. Enough said.
Most spammy forumer: deadlegion. For repeatedly adding nothing of value to any conver-FaRt
Most missed forumer: Maybe if some of you stayed gone for a while we'd have the chance to miss you.
Least missed forumer: That guy that's gone. What's his name? He logged in like once and didn't post. Him. Whoever that was.
Best thread starter: Ouji or Jazz. One of those. They both upload a lot, tend to properly label any threads, and their other non upload threads tend to not be complete messes either.
Worst thread starter: BlackCitadel. Although that tends to fall so far into bad thread territory that it loops back around to hilariously awesome.
The most shocking EP moment of 2010: discovering that cookie is actually a girl. Did not see that coming. Wait, am I not supposed to mention that here?
The favourite moment of 2010: While it's hard to top Ivolt getting lemonpartied in a rather hilarious fashion, I'm going to have to go with getting a certain PM out of the blue from a certain member. One thing lead to another and you can currently find me hovering about 3 feet above ground level as I am currently WALKING ON AIR.
The least favourite moment of 2010: It's been a terrible year marked by numerous terrible events, picking one is like trying to pick my favorite form of skin rash. As far as EP related goes, the appearance of the dreaded 504 comes to mind.
Best thread of the year: Most likely one of the 3 or 4 retro ones we had this year. Surprisingly decent crop.
Worst thread of the year: That thread that was all about how classic games are a billion times greater than the greatest thing in the world, meanwhile modern games are the shittiest shit that ever was shat. The stupid, it BURNS.
The member most deserving of a mention, without getting one: Elmdor. Where art thou?
Best Drunko of the year: No one stands out. Most of you just post to state you've been drinking then immediately leave before drunken behaviour. Although Drageuth apparently drinks constantly when playing videogames. Borman tends to drop by to state it whenever he can. And there was that one time prude was completely shitfaced.
Favourite Avatar: Milady tends to have nice ones. Everyone else appears to rely on old favorites or something. Although Gare manages to pull some nice stuff.
Favourite Signature: Gare. Because.
Favourite Skin: Fat girl. It's easy to make into a suit.
The guy who's never offline: None I can think of. Maybe it's because I tend to appear at random times of day and there's rarely someone who completely matches my unusual schedules.
Best smilie: Anything related to Busey.
Worst Smilie (Yes, it gets removed! At least that's what Elmdor said!): Oversized, useless, nobody posts it, and it looks like ass.
Favourite overall forumer (MOTY): No one seems to stand out in my mind. You all need to work harder to impress me in 2011.
Favourite LP: I still have 3 or 4 to get around to viewing , and one that I still haven't finished, but as it currently stands: Missing (Gare). When it comes to the LPs I find myself enjoying most, they tend to be 1.) games I haven't played/completed 2.) games that are good 3.) games that have entertaining commentary put over them and 4.) games that are very competently played. This LP delivered on all fronts. You'll laugh, you'll cry, you'll get depressed, you'll get weirded out, and you'll have a good time. Seriously, go watch. You'll see the whole thing in an hour or two. And it's totally worth it.

Quiji, because for only being here for less than a year, he's come into his own as a member and has been quite active in and outside of the hangout. He also spends way too much money on old video game consoles that he never plays, which is somehow a good thing.
Favorite admin(s): CM, Sprung, Tanthias, & MasJ
Firstly, I want to give props to all of the Administrators for all of their hard work. Jackhammer, Elmdor, crusher, Panda Man, Ragnar and Zorlon: Thank you. They all put a lot of work into this site uploading games and dealing with the users and a lot of it goes unnoticed or taken for granted, so good job guys. Cookie Monster for being very helpful and nice to everyone and even forgiving me for being an idiot and flaming his (and many other peoples) preferred console for stupid reasons, many moons ago. Sprung for always being a good sport and being hilarious and awesome. Tanthias for his always entertaining wit and endless army of clones. And last but not least MasJ for all his work maintaining and running this site. (MasJ is kind of like god in people's speeches, because without him none of this would be possible. )
Favorite Super-Moderator(s): Fer and Inferno
Fer for his wise insight on games and all things Mexico. And Inferno for his once massive gamerscore (R.I.P.) and his wise insight on modding/games. And of course, both these gents for their hard work updating/maintaining lists, banning foos, and other mod related stuff.
Favorite moderator(s): Ray, Milady, Hypnos & Mimori
Ray for his hilarious sense of humor and unquestionable mastery of video games and video game culture. Not to mention singlehandedly reviving the DS masterlist. Milady for her entertaining stories, medical knowledge and unbridled rage towards whores. (Even though she didn't list me in any of her votes... ) Hypnos for his intelligence and insight on various aspects of life/society. And Mimori, for his love of Japanese culture, his infectious niceness and his ability to make anything being discussed in the hangout cute with his gratuitous use of . And, once again, all of our mods for updating/maintaining lists and banning FPAs.
Favorite RetroD00d(s)!: Cosmic, Tassadar, Evans, polo, MoG & Ivolt
Cosmic for making me laugh the hardest I've ever laughed while staring at a computer screen on multiple occasions, and his extremely sexy taste in music. Seriously dude, I think you could have a very bright future in the music biz if you wanted to. Tassadar for his love of film and memes, his links to hilarious threads on other forums, and his witty responses. Evans for his ability to say what no one else has the balls to say with zero indifference towards the outcome and the lulz that ensue. polo for his love of electro music, chicken wings, and his godly knowledge of computers and technology. (polo for president y'all! polo for president 2012!) MoG for his coolness, heated driveways and love of the smiley. And Ivolt for his BLINDING RAGE, purple walls and various things written in all caps that never cease to amuse me.
The favorite Regular Forumer(s): Jazzmarazz
For his infamous uploading sprees and seemingly constant presence in the hangout. He's a fun guy to talk to and is always cracking jokes and being helpful, not to mention writing guides and contributing to the site.
The least favorite forumer(s): I dunno, don't really have one.
Funniest forumer(s): Cosmic, Ray & Evans
Cosmic for so many reasons that I've lost count, but his COMODO rant, personification of inanimate objects and novel-esque stories chock full of metaphors and even a moral at the end come to mind. Ray for his many puns and blunt statements that could make even Ivolt blush. And Evans, for his seemingly random but related pop culture references, his encyclopedic knowledge of Family Guy, and his DON'T GO THERE GIRLFRIEND attitude. *snaps fingers in a z motion* And of course, let's not forget DAT GOATEE.
Smartest forumer(s): Mistral, Hypnos, Evans & Ray
All four of these people are ridiculously intelligent and knowledgeable on so many topics that it's ridiculous. If these four people played a game of jeopardy Alex Trebek's head would probably explode, a la Scanners. (Yeah, so only three contestants can play jeopardy at once, wanna fight about it?)
The dumbest forumer(s): No comment.
Most helpful member(s): CM, Jackhammer, Elmdor, Ragnar, Tanthias, Fer, Inferno & Ray
All of them for their work behind the scenes, answering peoples questions in general gaming and everything emulation, activating peoples accounts, and updating/maintaining lists. And did I mention Ray revived the NDS masterlist all by himself? That crazy bastard.
Most respected member(s): MasJ
For keeping this ship of awesome afloat for over a decade, and for always looking for new ways to improve the site and listening to user input. Nice work!
Nicest forumer(s): Mimori, CM & Tanthias
Mimori is always warm and friendly to me and everyone else I've ever seen him talk to, so he wins my vote. (Although apparently he is very capable of extreme hatred, but I don't believe that. ) Cookie Monster for never losing his cool when dealing with the noobs, beyond the occasional tough love. (Sometimes they need to be put in their place, dammit! ) And Tanthias for being the noob saviour, and never acting like he's too good to talk with some of the non-regulars in and outside of the hangout.
Hottest member(s): Prude
She's so hot it's almost scary. Like, it's unwise to even try and touch her because your hand might FUCKING MELT. And she's good at drawing too, which is sexy.
Most spammy forumer(s): Bayer
He was damn funny though.
Most missed forumer(s): God of Steve
Even though he skipped out on years of child support and opted instead to use the money to buy weed and booze, he finally started to share it with me. Love ya dad. Log on more!
Least missed forumer(s): As there's no one that I really disliked all that much, there's no one I was especially glad to see leave.
Best thread starter(s): Andy Jerk
...
What? (Alright, maybe he wasn't actually the best thread starter, but his random nonsense, photoshops and poetry were all entertaining and often hilarious to me, so I think he at least deserves a mention.)
Worst thread starter(s): BlackCitadel(x)
For obvious reasons.
The most shocking EP moment(s) of 2010: CMM getting banned, two old school members coming back and actually staying for more than a week, and finding out that Cookie Monster is actually....a muppet.
The favorite moment(s) of 2010: ¨ˆ¨ˆ¨ˆ¨ˆ¨ˆ¨ˆ¨ˆ¨ˆ¨ˆ¨ˆ¨ˆ¨ˆ¨ ˆ¨ˆ¨ˆ ¨ˆ¨ˆ¨ˆ¨ˆ¨ˆ¨ˆ¨ˆ¨ˆ¨ˆ¨ˆ¨ˆ¨ˆ¨ ˆ¨ˆ¨ˆ *censored by COMODO INTERNET SECURITY*
In all honesty, I don't think I can choose a single favorite moment, so I'm just gonna say all the laughs, all the interesting conversations, all the things I've learned and all the fun I've had here for the past 2 1/2 years. This site has such a great community of people and everyone contributes something in their own way, no matter how big or small. You've all become like a second family to me, and it's the reason I keep coming back. Thank you everyone, for being so awesome and kind to me. Here's looking forward to another 2 1/2 years.
The least favorite moment(s) of 2010: Not being able to find the time to log on for what seemed like too long. :/
Best thread(s) of the year: COMODO
Because we're probably going to get in a shitload of trouble and get shut down by the internet security companies for uploading malicious files. HOLY SHIT THEY CENSORED MY POST UP THERE DID YOU SEE THAT!?
Worst thread(s) of the year: Probably the FFVII thread, but it's hard to tell. There were a lot of shitty threads this year.
The member(s) most deserving of a mention, without getting one: Zaladane & Drageuth
Both for being cool guys and being online late at night at the same time as me when most everyone else is offline. And for liking Canadian bacon.
Best Drunko(s) of the year: Theo & Borman
Always and forever.
Favorite Avatar(s): Milady & Gare
Milady for her nicely themed Final Fantasy avatars. (And for repping the white mage, the most under appreciated class.) And Gare for his always awesome looking avatars. (Bouncy bouncy bouncy bouncy.)
Favorite Signature(s): Evans & Rasgrez
Evans for consistently having the coolest looking signatures on the forums. Always aesthetically pleasing. And I have no idea what Rasgrez's is from, but it looks really cool. (Not like I know what Evans' are from, but still.)
Favorite Skin(s): Default VB3
For life.
The person/people who are never offline: Tanthias
It was a close decision between a few people, but Tanthias takes the cake in my book.
Best Smilie(s):
Forever and always.
Worst Smilie(s): The BRB Restroom one. I'm not even gonna post it.
Favorite LP(s): Molesting Tongue
Because even though I haven't watched very much of it yet (or any of the LPs for that matter. I'll get around to it!), Tan and Ray are entertaining and their commentary works well together, and that game seems like it gets pretty damn difficult. And also because Ray seems to slowly be corrupting Tanthias somehow.
Favorite overall forumer (MOTY): This is way too hard for me to choose. There are a lot of people that deserve this title and I don't want to exclude anyone that is just as worthy of being mentioned as the next person, and I don't want to nominate 10+ people like I know I will if I try.

enough for now.

DevilandtheSea I've spoken to less, but reading her posts she strikes me as a good sort, and I like her Zork LP. And Prude gets a lot of flak, but I've never had a problem with her, and I like seeing her about. It's telling that it took reading other people's posts in this thread to remember she only registered this year, as it feels like she's been a part of this place for much longer.

Favourite admin: Elmdor, Cookie, Tanthias, crusher
You're all wonderful, kind, sweet people that I'm so happy to still be in touch with. There were lots of things I wanted to say to you individually, but I'll cut it short and just say:

Favourite Super-Moderator: Fer
So much love for so many reasons. I've had a lot of fun talking to you about football, videogames and all the silly inbetweens over the last however many years it's been, and you're so friendly and easy-going, so I always feel at ease chatting with you. Basically you're sort of person I want to be friends with in real life, but who I'm always too scared to say hi to. So it's been nice getting to know you here instead~ XD

Favourite moderator: Ray, Milady, Synthetik
Ray makes me laugh, is a lot of fun to be around, has provided us with so much LP goodness, and has done more as a moderator over the last year than I've done in the last...uh...six. :'D Milady is just lovely, and her posts always make me smile. Though our paths don't often cross because of wildly different timezones, I always have fun chatting with her when they do, and make the effort to backread some of her posts. And Synthetik is super-cool, and the sort of person that seems to get along with most everyone. I've really missed seeing you over the last couple of months. It's so nice to see that you're still alive and well!

Favourite RetroD00d!: Gare, Ivolt, Danny, Tassadar
Gare is just all kinds of lovely, but I'll get into that below. I've liked Ivolt practically from the moment he registered here, and have had so much fun talking to him over the years. I'll no doubt remember his RAGE, purple walls and infamous lemon party-ing long after we've gone our separate ways. Danny has copious amounts of stret cred in my eyes, and is always worth a mention. And Tassadar is intelligent, friendly, and I suspect a lot wittier than he thinks~! It's always nice to see him around.

The favourite Regular Forumer: Quiji
For reasons already stated above.

The least favourite forumer: I love you all.
Uh...seriously. Everyone I don't like seems to leave or get banned. XD

Funniest forumer: Danny, Elmdor, Ray, Cosmic
Danny for all the ridiculous in-jokes and Photoshops. Elmdor because for whatever reason his unique brand of humour just cracks me up. I think we're cut from the same cloth. Ray for his LPs, all the silly game related gags, and for consistently making me laugh at things I shouldn't be laughing at. And Cosmic? He only avoids mention in other categories because he and I probably don't have a lot in common, and we rarely talk except to exchange stupid jokes back and forth. Still, said jokes are more than enough to earn him mention here. Awesome, nice guy with a great sense of humour.

Smartest forumer: Danny, Mistral, Hypnos, Ray when he feels like it
Danny because inbetween bouts of furious Busey-ing and Jesse-ing over MSN it's been a privilege to talk to him and hear his ideas on all sorts of things. My reasons for picking Mistral and Hypnos should be obvious to anyone who has read these awards in the last however many years. And Ray for whenever the gloves comes off and the penis jokes are cast aside in favour of a wall of text that puts any of mine to shame, because they're always interesting, insightful and well-written.

The dumbest forumer: That COMODO guy
Hilarious, though, and gave us one of the year's crowning moments via Cosmic and Ivolt.

Most helpful member: Tanthias, Cookie, Inferno, Jackhammer, Ray
They all make me ashamed to hold a staff position here. Busy people~

Most respected member: Most of you, really, with special mention to Danny and Cookie
I really think this is a lovely community, and even though I'm not even all that into games anymore I'm still so happy to be allowed to be a part of it year after year. You all ought to be proud of yourselves for making it so wonderful! That being said, I wanted to give mention to Danny and Cookie specifically. The former because online or no, he's been a genuinely good friend to me over the last however many years we've known each other, and has listened to me complain about things waaaaaay too many times without ever becoming impatient or snappy with me. :'D And the latter because he's been here forever, clearly gives his all to make it a nice place to be a part of, and still offers a helping hand to new people when most who have been around as long as him don't bother.

You also both speak fantastic English, which is an inspiration to me as a foreign languages student. But then that's pretty much the norm for the non-native speakers here. ^^

Nicest forumer: Again, most of you, but with special mention to Tanthias and Fer
Everyone here is pretty nice, I think. I generally find internet communities sort of hostile, and don't fit in with a lot of them, so it says something about how nice you all are that I've stuck around here so long. :'D Special mention goes to Tanthias and Fer, though. I always seem to get a lot of votes in this category, but I can be quite mean and passive-aggressive when I'm not in a good mood. Tanthias and Fer, on the other hand, are always cheerful, kind-hearted and a joy to be around.

Hottest member: Elmdor
No question.

Most spammy forumer: Bayer
Troll or no, the guy posted like five images per post.

Most missed forumer: BORLY, Dan, BORLY, Cyberxion, BORLY, Clive, BORLY, Gnafu, BORLY
Plus pretty much everyone else from the 2003 crowd I knew.

Least missed forumer: Akuma
Fortunately he was kind enough to leave us with sage words that will echo down throughout the ages, and will forever resolve the age old question 'Fucking magnets. How do they work?'.

Best thread starter: Elmdor, Gare
Elmdor for one thread in particular he made that made me laugh so much I wanted to double reputation it. It shall remain nameless here. Gare for actually making General Gaming interesting, even if I've often been too busy this year to respond to some of his threads. ;__;

Worst thread starter: Whoever started that FFVII shitfest
Seriously, when I get tired of rambling about Final Fantasy VII, there's something seriously wrong.

The most shocking EP moment of 2010: Drageuth both returning and sticking around!
Shocking in the best possible way, of course. Welcome back!

The favourite moment of 2010: Coming home after a bit of a bad day to find that Milady had PM'd me a link to that silly Sushi Cat game.
Sort of insignificant in the grand scheme of things, but somehow it cheered me up at the time, and thinking back on it makes me smile.

The least favourite moment of 2010: Secret
Something terrible that happened to a member here that I'd rather not drag back up in public because it'd be incredibly crass and insensitive. I had no words at the time and I still have no words now. But I wish said mystery member all the best with everything.

Best thread of the year: The World Cup thread
Fun! Psychic octopuses, triumphant Spaniards and Germans with bulging eyes. See you all in four years! :3

Worst thread of the year: The aforementioned FFVII thread
Yeah.

The member most deserving of a mention, without getting one: Quite a few.
But Corey comes to mind. Sorry. =( I offer you a BEAMMMMMMMMMMM as a consolation.

Best Drunko of the year: Me
I had one drink at a friend's birthday party this year because she insisted it tasted like some old soda we both loved, and I had to try it. That's a lot for me!

Favourite Avatar: Milady's current one, my current one
The former because I just saw it glancing through the thread and couldn't think of any this year that I liked more. The latter because it's lovely and I don't feel bad voting for myself when it's not something I actually made. Thanks Danny!

Favourite Signature: Gare's Xenoblade one
Pretty! Also XENOBLADE.

Favourite Skin: Elmdor
I've been using it for years and I'm never changing.

The guy who's never offline:
Uh...me...? I never post, but I'm usually here. D: Failing that, Ray always seems to be about at the same times as me.

Best smilie:
All for obvious reasons, I should think. The first two because . The last one because...well...this, basically.

Worst Smilie (Yes, it gets removed! At least that's what Elmdor said!): Restroom one, Iron Man
Can't say I'd be sad to see the first one go. As for the second one, I'd be frankly gutted if it were removed, ugly though it is. There are some very important emotions that can only be expressed with an Iron Man.

Favourite overall forumer (MOTY): Gare
Decided to push myself to narrow it down to one member in this category, at least. I've known and liked Gare for years now, but over the last year or two we've spoken a lot more and I think we've gotten to know each other a little better. I've enjoyed both his posts and threads in General Gaming, and I've had tons of fun discussing various geeky RPGs with him. But more than that, he's just really kind, friendly and pleasant to be around. I'm always happy to see him posting in a thread because reading a Gare post can only make my day that little bit better.

Also Eeyore plushie. <3 Also also Xenoblade. <3 Also also also Leon! <3

Favourite newcomer: Quiji.

Favourite Super-Moderator: Fer, Inferno.
Favourite moderator: Elin, Ray.
Favourite RetroD00d!: Evans, Colamisu, Ivolt. (No Ray, I totally didn't forget about Ivolt )
The favourite Regular Forumer: I can't think of any that I really enjoy talking to on a regular basis, so I'm going to make this my favorite "retired staff" member and say Drageuth.
The least favourite forumer: I haven't seen Chen around much since about February, so I'll go with Bayer/ManCannon.
Funniest forumer: Cosmic. That Comodo + Deliverance audio alone should win him this spot.
Smartest forumer: Mistral, of course, but I also think Ray and Hypnos deserve a little more credit in this area.
The dumbest forumer: BlackCitadelN/O/P/Q/R
Most helpful member: Ray. His cyborg-like ability to maintain lists whilst I'm absent is amazing, and I think he's given me the most info in the past when I've been contemplating various purchases. (I think this is supposed to be the most helpful member in general, but I care not.)
Most respected member: MasJ
Nicest forumer: Elin. He says he's not that nice in his post here, but he's pretty much the only member who consistently makes me feel like I've just gotten a hug after I've finished talking with him. I never actually spoke with him for a long time after I joined, and actually made it a goal to catch up with him in the hangout some day (he sounded so lovely, with people talking of kitten petting simulators and such), and I couldn't be happier that I finally did. Well, unless of course it happened more often.
Hottest member: Pfft.
Most spammy forumer: Chesty.
Most missed forumer: polobunny
Least missed forumer: Chen, Bayer/ManCannon
Best thread starter: _____
Worst thread starter: BlackCitadelN/O/P/Q/R
The most shocking EP moment of 2010: Ray's amazing resurrection of the DS list that had long been left for dead.
The favourite moment of 2010: That time Chen got hit by a car. Okay, so it probably didn't actually happen in 2010 (if it happened at all), and it certainly didn't happen on the forums, but it was still a pretty good way to start off the year.
The least favourite moment of 2010: Any time I received a PM containing a stupid question from someone I've never heard of, or any time that someone created a ridiculous thread or submitted about four posts in a row when they could have just read a sticky.
Worst thread of the year: _____
The member most deserving of a mention, without getting one: Jazzmahwhatever.
Best Drunko of the year: I generally dislike drunkos.
Favourite Avatar: Drageuth
Favourite Signature: I don't really know, I generally keep them disabled. Gare's Xenoblade one was/is lovely, though. I liked Drag's grumpy looking Link one, too.
Favourite Skin: Blu Hydra
The guy who's never offline: _____
Best smilie:
Worst Smilie (Yes, it gets removed! At least that's what Elmdor said!): The bathroom one, along with the myriad of other large, animated images typically used by the spammy among us.

It doesn't help that I've only been around again since August).

Favourite moderator: Milady
Favourite RetroD00d!: Zaladane
The favourite Regular Forumer: Quiji.
The least favourite forumer: Bayer. I don't think I made my dislike unknown, either.
Funniest forumer: Ray. Ivolt gets a very close second for generally hilarious, if somewhat disturbing, comments in the Hang Out.
Smartest forumer: Tan and Ray seem to always have the answers I'm looking for.
The dumbest forumer: I don't suppose we're allowed to vote for ourselves, are we?
Most helpful member: Cookie, Tan, or Zaladane. I don't wander into those sections too much. If I had to pick among those three, I would say Tan: he helped me set up a few things for my LPs, and is always a nice and respectable person to be around. I can't think of a single bad thing to say about him.
Most respected member: Cookie Monster, Tanthias, or Milady.
Nicest forumer: Tanthias, bar none.

Worst thread starter: Everyone who has started a help thread without reading any of the attached stickies. They only get mildly annoying.
The most shocking EP moment of 2010: MY RETURN!!! Seriously, though, it would have to be that one post that Dave made in Retro. You know, the one with him and the chick, and the fancy clothes.

Favourite Avatar: Milady
Favourite Signature: Gare or Quiji's Zero signature.
Favourite Skin: Tango. But I like to wear Cookie's when it's cold out.
The guy who's never offline: Ray. But it could just seem like that, 'cause I associate with "online at 5AM my time" as "never offline."
Best smilie:
Worst Smilie (Yes, it gets removed! At least that's what Elmdor said!): The Bathroom BRB one. Really, any of the really large ones. They are the entire reason that I set up custom smilies.
Favourite overall forumer (MOTY): Milady. Many recommendations and helpful tidbits, and genuinely interesting conversations.
Favourite LP: Zombies Ate My Neighbours. The pure devotion that went into making that LP, what with three weeks of planning, and getting two of my favorite members from this forum bantering together in the same video, playing the same game -- epic. Nothing less than amazing should be an acceptable description.

This is everyone as far as I have them that haven't reposted. NOW CONTINUE ON WITH YOUR CONTEST.

I'll go ahead and post mine, since I'm here, anyway, and you'll have to copy/paste one less post now. A SAVIOUR IS I. Plus, I actually changed a few of my votes in light of... uh, recent events. :wacko: Marked them with a *.

Oh, and if a kind soul feels like reinstalling the smileys, I found them on my HDD.

Favourite RetroD00d!: Evans, Cosmic (apparently he's Retro now), Ivolt and Tass. I think Drageuth's also Retro/retired staff now, so him too. It was really nice to see him come back.
The favourite Regular Forumer: See "favourite newcomer".
The least favourite forumer: None at the moment.
Funniest forumer: Cosmic's COMODO performance wins this.
Smartest forumer: I usually say Mistral here, but he insists that he's not that smart, actually. So I'll go with Ray. When he's not making sex jokes, he actually posts some really awesome shit.
The dumbest forumer: No idea.
Most helpful member: I don't keep track of these things too often, but Tan is always very helpful/friendly when we talk. So, :hug:. And Ed translated stuff for me! <3!
Most respected member: Ed.
Nicest forumer: Same as above.
Hottest member: Elmdor. EGGO.
Most spammy forumer: Dunno.
Most missed forumer: Roux, and Skinner needs to post more.
Least missed forumer: None at the moment. Chen comes close, but I mostly just chuckled at his posts. Same goes for Bayer.
Best thread starter: Uh, I think Ed made a pretty cool language-related topic a while back.
Worst thread starter: That thread where you guys were arguing about Gundams or something like that? See, that was terrible.
The most shocking EP moment of 2010: Skinner and Drageuth returning. Also, me singing/rapping the Fresh Prince intro song in Retro, because the silly shit I manage to do when I'm bored is quite shocking indeed.
The favourite moment of 2010: Skinner and Drageuth returning.
*The least favourite moment of 2010: THIS FUCKING ROLLBACK.
Best thread of the year: "Post your voice" in Retro. Thank you Cosmic, thank you so much.
*Worst thread of the year: I'm changing my vote for this one, because someone reminded me of the FF7 clusterfuck we've had a while ago. My god, was that painful to read.
The member most deserving of a mention, without getting one: Dunno. There's probably lots.
Best Drunko of the year: -
Favourite Avatar: I'm digging Milady's new one. The white mage.
Favourite Signature: Corey's Dr. Fetus sig. SMB is so awesome. Also, Drageuth's old one, with that chick. But he changed it.
Favourite Skin: As usual, I'll go with the boring reply. Default VB3.
The guy who's never offline: No idea.
*Best smilie: :wacko: :x and the ones that were lost in this catastrophe. My beloved parrots. :(
*Worst Smilie (Yes, it gets removed! At least that's what Elmdor said!): The same shit I voted for back in '08, I guess?
Favourite overall forumer (MOTY): Ed.
Favourite LP: Gotta go with Zombies Ate My Neighbours. And that LP by Ed that never happened.

A kind soul was here :birdie:

Oh yes indeed. Thanks, CM!

Favourite newcomer: Quiji, but that's most likely because I haven't been keeping track.
Favourite admin: Cookie, for indexing and helping as usual.
Favourite Super-Moderator: Fer, for doing his job.
Favourite moderator: Milady, Raymond, and Synthetik for doing theirs.
Favourite RetroD00d!: Monty and Gare.
The favourite Regular Forumer: Rasgrez and Shardnax.
The least favourite forumer: Bayer. Boring and obviously a troll.
Funniest forumer: Sprung. Cosmic, maybe?
Smartest forumer: Mistral. Totally going to add Hypnos and Ray. Should have done so the first time around, but there you go.
The dumbest forumer: Mistral. Calendar, buy one.
Most helpful member: Tanthias, Cookie, and whoever else still cares to help out.
Most respected member: I'd say Ed.
Nicest forumer: Tanthias. Don't think I've seen him be unpleasant more than once or twice, and that might have only been my misreading it.
Hottest member: polo/Sparta
Most spammy forumer:
Most missed forumer: polo. Fuck you, life.
Least missed forumer:
Best thread starter: Gare's been doing well, as I recall.
Worst thread starter:
The most shocking EP moment of 2010: Was there any?
The favourite moment of 2010: CMM actually being dealt with and the whole Comodo conversation that ensued within the thread.
The least favourite moment of 2010: Noticing it was temporary and the convo, soft deleted. Losing both Akuma's Ark and the Ratatouille nfo.
Best thread of the year: Voice/Graphology/Inferno Drinking Game. I don't spend much time in General Gaming, you see. I hope someone mentions a tutorial or two. Got a few good additions that I can't care to check at the moment.
Worst thread of the year:
The member most deserving of a mention, without getting one: Astaroth? I think he helps out.
Best Drunko of the year:
Favourite Avatar: I'll say Gare since I made Ed's and that'd be voting for myself.
Favourite Signature: Same as above. Too bad I can't remember any of Mistral's, 'cause I always nominated him.

Will fill in the rest later, when I think of something.

Smartest forumer: Elmdor. Common sense and intuition go a long way in my book. He's always able to offer fresh perspective on a situation and even if you don't completely agree at first you realise sooner or later he's right, so yeah, he gets my vote for this category.

Hey Prude, you forgot me this time around!
