Thanks to everyone who participated, and congratulations to all of the winners! Here's to a great 2022!

Wouldn't Athefre have won four awards? I believe he was the one who proposed L3P (now LXS) as a step in the Nautilus ZBLL variant.

Thanks for hosting this!

 

[GenTheSnail]

Wow! From the nomination as best new member back the cancelled 2016 forum awards, to winning best signature, I'm truly honored to be apart of this community. I've always taken pride in my signature, hosting only my most important PBs, as well as helpful and hilarious links to various resources. I'm glad that the forum appreciates it as well.

Congratulations to all the other nominees and awardees!

 

[cuberswoop]

Wackiest member AND most improved noob might be the worst possible things to have won xD

 

[ruffleduck]

My duck pfp has come a long way

it came from a meme completely unrelated from cubing

and it's accidentally become a cult within the cubing community. the Internet is fascinating.

 

[MuaazCubes]

As the great PointCrow on youtube and twitch would say, "We're not a cult guys."

But he would be wrong.

I saw L3P mentioned on the Nautilus website, but I wasn’t sure who invented it, so I left it blank. If he did invent it, there’s no reason not to give him another award! Thanks for pointing that out!

Can't believe I managed to masterfully avoid discovering the voting was up until one day after voting closes

You're better off than me, I was going for Funniest Member and ended up getting Best Debater. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I mean, you are a really good debater. But you're better off than me, I didnt get nominated at all.

wait do you support pineapple on pizza?

 

[IsThatA4x4]

Pineapple pizza supporters unite!!!

 

[DuckubingCuber347]

wait do you support pineapple on pizza?

Pineapples on pizza or no?

We got pineapple on pizza as a topping for school lunches a couple of weeks back. I’m pretty sure people bought them as if they were normal pepperoni toppings

Indeed I am. It is my personal favorite pizza topping right ahead of caramelized onions.

 

[bulkocuber]

Atrocious things have been said
Shame on who dared to make such an awful statement
Shame on who didn't respect pizza
What's been stated cannot be taken back
God save pizza

 

[hellocubers]

i do not like pineapples on pizza.

 

[GenTheSnail]

I will hold back my personal sentiments on the topic and instead suggest that all discussion of the topic return to that thread and stay out of here.

 

[any name you wish]

Biggest controversy: Pineapples on pizza

What does that have to do with cubing?

 

[Garf]

What does that have to do with cubing?

Everything.

 

[gruuby]

pineapple sucks
