Not necessarily. I'd nominate Pete for that category with all the game talk that he does.

OK, I will also edit this as I go, as it requires careful consideration. Also, I want to make one thing very clear, I'm really uncomfortable with this sort of thing as it's almost impossible to name everyone that's worthy. I absolutely do NOT mean to snub anybody, and there are going to be people I consider good buddies that won't get the nomination because, well, I have several good friends and I can't name them all, try as I might

Journal of the Year: I haven't been reading them much over the last four or five months, but until around July Ego Tripping by Junkyard Donner was by far my favourite to keep up with and the most enjoyable to read.

Best Music Contributor: Sometimes I like what he posts about and sometimes I dont but Goofle posts about music so frequently and with such consistency that his posts always demand a read. He is doing so much to keep music discussion alive here.

Best Music Taste:

Best Plug DJ Contributor: I have to play the odds here and think how many of the tracks I've yoinked in Plug sessions have been played by Junkyard Donner. She was largely responsible for around 70-80% of my holiday playlist this summer.

Most diverse music taste: bob always comes to mind here. He doesnt seem to listen to music with many boundaries or limitations beyond 'sucks' and 'doesnt suck'.

Most mainstream music taste:

Worst music taste

Lounge Lizard of the Year: Sansa has some had competition for her crown, but still takes this category.

Best Shoutboxer: Pedestrian has, on several occasions, kept me amused and entertained with her shoutbox ramblings. Very funny.

Most Intelligent Poster:

Best Debater:

Biggest Troll:

Worst Debater

Least Intelligent Poster:

Hottest Male:

Hottest Female:

Member who looks least like you imagined:

Member You'd Most Like to Meet in Real Life: bob needs to swing by Newcastle on his future jaunt to the UK so I can show him the best pubs and hopefully grab some horrid little show somewhere. The same goes for any potential trip Fred takes to these shores.

Member You'd Least Like to Meet in Real Life:

Moderator of the Year: I always felt the biggest connection with Pedestrian when I was modding here but as she stepped down early this year, just like me, I'd probably have to say Burning Down overall. I wouldn't be surprised to be voting Goofle next year but I also havent been around enough to really get a feeling how hes been doing.

New Member of the Year:

Best Sports Poster: Christian Benteke always seems capable of an unbiased, level-headed and intelligent football conversation, while still being able to have a little banter and inject a little humour. I like that.

Best Media Section Member: I'll say Exo for now. I can't really think of anything more worthy for this category than his film reviews.

Best Writer: Junkyard Donner. Makes sense given I've already expressed my affection for her journal. Very honest, relatable and emotive writer. She doesn't simply review but personalises her writing, opens up to share some of who she is, while her passion and her intelligence pours out of her content. It really is wonderful to read what she writes.

"Virtuoso" of the Year

"Under the Radar" Member of the Year

Biggest Contributor: Trollheart. Easily. Hands down. Goofle is certainly worth a mention too and I also think DJ has gone about his business this year, contributed, created some discussion and activity that alot of people probably wouldnt give him credit for, but if theres anyone giving their time and their effort to contributing content to this site and keeping the music forums, mainly the journals, alive it's TH.

Best Music Banter Quote of the Year:

WWWP · 12-04-2013, 08:43 PM

Member of the Year - Goofle. Clancy's a champ in all aspects. He's great to chat with, a wonderful mod, and he has an enviable taste in and knowledge of music. All-around solid guy.
Journal of the Year - Pedestrian's Crosswalking
Best Music Contributor - Hard to pick just one. I think it's a fight between Goofle and Exo for me at the moment. Rez has his moments as well. When I look at my music collection and who has had the greatest influence on it this past year would certainly be one of these three gents.
Best Music Taste - Exo. Goofle. God damnit, HOW DO I CHOOSE?!
Best Plug DJ Contributor - Exo. He beats Clancy this round purely due to time zones.
Most diverse music taste - Exo and Goofle. Seriously you guys I cannot pick one.
Most mainstream music taste - DJ
Worst music taste - DJ (Sorry. I know you won't be offended but I still feel bad because who the fuck am I?)
Lounge Lizard of the Year - Rez. U mad?
Best Shoutboxer - It's always a good time when Mojo and Pedestrian are around.
Most Intelligent Poster - Pedestrian.
Best Debater - I quite like debating with Mr. Charlie.
Biggest Troll - 216
Worst Debater - 216 and DJ
Least Intelligent Poster - Rude
Hottest Male - EXO AND GOOFLE
Hottest Female - Fetcher forever.
Member who looks least like you imagined - HHBH
Member You'd Most Like to Meet in Real Life - Exo, Goofle, Fred, Bob, Po, Mojo, Batlord, Pedestrian, Sansa, Big3, Freebase, Gunnels. Everyone, really.
Member You'd Least Like to Meet in Real Life - 216
Moderator of the Year - RIP Mojo and Ped. Good thing Goofle is a worthy replacement.
New Member of the Year - Bulbasaur is a darling.
Best Sports Poster - I abstain.
Best Media Section Member - Clearly Exo and his film reviews.
Howard the Duck Memorial Award for Most Inane Member - Vanilla
Best Thread of the Year - I have no idea.
Nicest Member of the Year - Gunnels
Angriest Member of the Year - Big3 because I can't vote for myself.
Best Writer - Tie between Big3 and Exo.
"Virtuoso" of the Year - PoorOldPo
