Yippee! I'm just buzzing with adrenaline and coke after all that celebrity-based goodness. I think it's going to take a month to scrub the muddy footprints off our red carpet with all the award winners walking up it tonite. 23! The highest number of winners ever, perhaps in part the new categories that were started in part by suggestions from members. Members like yourself!
Special mentions should go to Bullet Magnet and OANST, both of whom grabbed an impressive four awards each. Bullet Magnet also takes home a signed Certificate of Popularity for having the most votes for him across all categories, a healthy 51. That means everyone voted for him 1·82 times each! Congratulations too to Hobo whose name came in first, second and joint third in the Best Couple category. Some kind of unsurprised pat on the back to Max the Mug for winning the same award all seven years.
Show's over, folks, but there's leftovers in the foyer for you all. Ask one of the caterers for some cling film if you want to take anything home, just leave me a slice of fruit cake. I've also been told that the valets have gone on strike while we were in here, so you'll have to find your own cars. Drive home safely now! Your cheques for turning up will be mailed out some time before December.
Until next year, or some other institutionalized thing that I do! XXXX
Ah, we are high school boys,
the miserable high school boys.
If we were girls, we could get popular by doing anything:
rock band, jazz band,
karate, kendo, mahjong, cyborg, synchronized swimming...
On the other hand, high school boys are
useless outside battle and sports anime.
But they're recklessly trying to make a slice-of-life anime about us.
Ah, we are high school boys,
the miserable high school boys.
Congratulations to all who won, time to start being an arrogant dick!

I'm genuinely flattered to have won best writer. There's a bunch of good writers on the forums, nice to see a load of new good fanfics around and I am surprised and pleased to win. Give it 24 hours though and humility will be replaced by gloating.
Congrats to all the other winners also!

Hmm, is there any sort of award for this? A nice big lump of rep (among other things) sounds appropriate, don't you think? (not that they have any shortage of it, of course)
Congrats to all the winarrrrz and thank you for the joint-second place in most underrated poster!
Now, can I have the award for "Poster to Win Most Predictable Award"

No. Why, you're just a big replumper, aren't you??
Everyone who thinks I would be a good mod is a fucking moron.
You can't comprehend the shit that I would pull if I was. It's simply beyond all of you.
Anyway, I am actually writing something else right now. Unfortunately my crushing self esteem prevents me from posting it bit by bit until I have the whole thing done (or like one page).
Edit: this is like a famous actor walking into the middle of the street and saying "I'm going to be in a movie!"
“Also, we don't need no Jacob to gay this place up. We have officially won the award for the forum with a highest proportion of gay members whilst not being themed about poojabbing, cowboys or Kylie.” - Nate
Well done to everyone. I'm happy to have got some Silvers, despite only being here for a few weeks, it just goes to show that even a newbie can pick up a few trinkets now and again . Congrats to all the winners, especially Bullet Magnet and Munch's Master!
Thanks to a SQL ability I learnt today, I was able to look over Wired’s working outs and reveal that Bullet Magnet really is the most popular one amongst us. Of the 28 voters, 23 put his name down for at least one award.
On the other hand, OANST was overall the most versatile member, his name being put down at least once for 14 of the 29 categories.
If anyone is really bored or sad and wants me to work anything else out, I’ll certainly give it a shot. Nothing like quantitative analyses of your friends.
