Best New Member 2015:
TechnicLePanther (contributes A LOT, likes a lot of good music, overall cool guy)
ChelseaDagger (like her chill attitude and overall posting style and humour)
Horror (he's a little too new to evaluate, but also seems very cool and puts a lot of effort into his endeavors here)

Just a point: are these not meant to be sent via PM?

That's the final voting after the nominations are narrowed down.

I'll be voting even though I've been super MIA and my candidates will be drastically skewed from lack of recent interaction.

Starting the campaign for John Wilkes Booth as Member of the Year!

And here I was about to praise .bob for his awesome graphic. The graphic now sucks.

http://www.reactiongifs.com/r/2013/01/confused.gif


So, like... is there a secret, PM cabal of members trying to troll the site or something?

And props to everyone for finally recognizing my fanboy status.

You forgot Ke$ha, you dumb ****. And where do you get off calling me the angriest Member of the Year? Suck my clit.

No I hate to be the harbinger of bad news....you have no clit

I kinda went blank for thar one.

thanks man :)

hmmmm....there is absolutely zero difference....i just missed one

we might as well keep both :)

I'll edit this later.

You've been annoying ppl here for what feels like a lifetime. :)

Sexiest male: Goofle11.
Best Mod: Gooflesh.
Best Resizer: Clancy.

Most members here probably don't even remember a time before it was safe to make posts without the constant threat of sexual innuendo and semi-trolling.

Looks like fronting like I have half of an idea of what I'm talking about has been working well for me.

Surely your candidates will be skewed from too much recent interaction? I've heard the rumours, we all have! ;)
You know you'll be on my list, right?
You can't vote for your own journal, Narcissus!
Nah, you were just nominated. You'll probably get thrown out with the rest of the chaff once we start narrowing things down... ;)
You realise your sig makes this REALLY weird, right?

Well thanks for killing my dreams...

Nah I knew that already. I wasn't even nominated for a proper category there if you didn't realize. So technically, since I'm going to be the only one nominated for "Most Daring Member", I automatically win.

Thanks for the noms. It's always nice to be appreciated, but I usually don't participate in these, only the sucky graphic portion.

I oggle you baby^.....Just sayin...

Best Avatar: Grindy's old one. Nobody pulls off a teeny-tiny avatar quite like he does. I'm having mixed feelings about his current one, though.
Biggest Fanboy/girl of the Year: Bulltard/Buttlard for Manowar
Nicest member: Pet_Sounds, my homie

Vitruoso of the Year: Plankton. #guitaristgoals

What controversial threads have I started? Are you sure you're not talking about JWB?

Do you want my nomination or not?

All I want is an explanation. I got three nominations for Lifetime Achievement, and I'm sure you can understand that I might be suspicious that MB is being trolled.

Wasn't there one about which you prefer, the smell of your **** or your farts? To say nothing of one that mixed paedophilia and necrophilia?

I accept this. MB is a pro-necro site after all.
