Indeed, This year Andel is too busy/lazy (delete as appropriate) to run this year's awards, and I (willingly) stepped up to the plate. So, here we are, 2009 nearly over, and what an eventful year for all. Spambots have come and gone (or have they?), but there are still the dedicated users - YOU! who make this place the lovely, cheerful place (or the sodomy of filth, depends on how you look at it).

Slight oversight by me - you are not nominating, you are voting. Voting will therefore close on Christmas Eve, with the results announced on the 2nd January ('cause i'm one for keeping you in suspenders)

Plesse try to vote for every category you possibly can, even if it means using Search (up next to Donate, which you should also do). If by Christmas Eve not all categories are filled then i will extend the voting period until all categories are filled.

GOOD LUCK EVERYBODY!

Didn't feel as if I had the right to vote for every award (after all it's been over half a year since I ventured into the games forum, so I have no idea for that one).

Can I vote for myself? Nevermind, I already did.

I think Jamie voted Jamie for worst music. Also, no, you cannot vote for yourself, I believe welshdragon wrote that

Hmm, I'm betting that DaleStan somehow contrives to get the best and worst member of the forum award again.
Or that Dave might get the latter instead.

I would've voted for Ameecher's avatar but it scares me like hell so I didn't. Maybe I did though, can't really remember :o

Nah I usually get positive awards. Let's hope this continues.

If you all started hating me I'd probably leave. Then jump off a bridge.

People, instead of saying 'i don't think I'll get any votes' vote yourself! get your friends on the forums to vote too! the more votes that are made the more chances you are to become a winner!
