The Christmas/Hanukkah/Kwanzaa season is rolling around again, and that can only mean one thing! Winter time! And with winter time comes snow! And with snow comes the 2012 Forum Awards! Following the tradition from the past 3 years (you can see the results here: 2009 2010 2011), we will be reminiscing on the wonderful memories that this forum has had to offer this year.

The way the awards are decided is through nomination. Make a post listing your candidate member/thread, and give a reason why you chose this person/thread. PLEASE REFRAIN FROM NOMINATING PREVIOUSLY SUBMITTED PEOPLE/THREADS! ALSO, PLEASE REFRAIN FROM NOMINATING YOURSELF FOR ANYTHING! If a person/thread has already been nominated, feel free to reinforce the nomination ("This", "+1"), but make sure you've quoted the nomination so it is known what you're talking about. But it is recommended that you try to contribute as much as possible, to avoid spamfest.

At the end of the voting period, me and an already-selected group of advisers will go through all the nominations and decide the winners of each.

Nominations end January 31st at 11:59 Mountain Time (GMT -7)!

Alright, moving on to categories:

Alright guys! The voting is over and the results are tallied! I'll start by saying that not all the categories are presented, as the were underrepresented or inadequately represented. Anyway, onward we go!

Biggest Fanboy

TheNextFeliks

The username should show why he was nominated for this category.

Biggest Postwhore

Of all the nominees, Michael Womack best represents this category. While only averaging 3.01 posts per day, the quality of the posts are minimal. Some examples include:
"Yep thats correct."
"Why when there will be stickerless ones."
"Are there any tips of 6x6 I'm curantlly AVGing around 9:30.xx and want to be around 6/7 min. I don't want to hear the answer PRACTICE I want real tips like tips of edges and centers."


Worst Grammar

tx789's ratio of punctuation per post approaches zero. Some supporting examples:
"Yeah I guess so but watching it would get boring Still FMC takes 1 hour max like multi"
"One solution have 2-4 judges that switch every so often say every 2 cubes, 5 min or 10 min those at large comps this could be a problem"
"I am kinda annoyed about my CLL videos didn't make it but whatever hope I can join back in in season 3 "


Most Gullible

MichaelWomack
One of his posts triumphs all.

Most Deserving of a Ban

Penguino138

The immaturity, multiple accounts, and excessive posting of his videos makes Penguino the most deserving of a ban. Congrats!

Meanest Member:

ben1996123
What can we say? Ben has always been there to provide a snide answer to many members. Unlike Stefan, who is also known to make "mean" comments, Ben's contributions mean nothing to the overall conversation, and typically guide it nowhere.

Worst Thread
This thread gave thezcuber a horrible reputation, and rightfully so! The entrants of the contest were left with little feedback as theZcuber coincidentally closed the store following the results. Not to mention the controversy over who "actually" won.

Smartest Member
cuBerBruce provided huge amounts of time into his Hamiltonian Circuit thread. His contributions have amazed everyone, and deserves the crown of the year's "smartest member".
Congrats!

Most Improved Noob
Noahaha showed up in the scene very recently, and has blown people away by how much he's improved in blindsolving since then. After producing a multiple-part Youtube tutorial, blindsolving various puzzles, and improving on big cube BLD, he recently broke the USA NR for the second time.
Congrats!

Funniest Member and Best Member
Stefan
While some newcomers may view him as hostile and aggressive, Stefan has provided some of the most helpful and constructive comments by anyone on this forum. He also simultaneously provides a comedic quality into his posts, which some nonchalant observers may view to be mean or offensive. He pushes everyone to be their best on this forum.
Congrats Stefan!

B(r)est Post

US Nationals 2012 post by Brest. Brest took the time to reconstruct all 80 solves from the final round at US Nationals 2012. It's no doubt that this took a bit of work and time, and should be rewarded accordingly!
Congrats Brest!

Nicest and Most Helpful Member
Brest
I'm sure we've all had an instance where we've encountered some of Brest's hard work on this forum. His enthusiasm for reconstructing, even if complete n00bs beg him for it, and hard work has earned him this well appropriated title.
Congrats Brest!

Best Thread
By popular demand...
BANANAS

Wow. Something you do not see on this forum every day. I think the thread explains itself.




Thanks for the nominations. Make sure to be a kind, productive member on this forum, and you might be an award winner next year!

Me best Troll Ben gets meanest member.

I'll admit that I will get the worst grammar award now allot of you agree. The reason for my grammar Is cause I was a slow learner in spelling due to hearing loss.

Worst Thread: goes to the one abut the Dayan 6 and mini Zhanchi's cause we all wanted it and never got a real release date.

Best Tread: OAQT

I would like to say i'm sorry for what I have done in the past. I was just trying to give some info that I have out to all of you and some interpreted it as a bad thing. Example would be my new 4x4 method some would say it will never be as good as reduction but give it time.

Best member: Tong Haiwu he helps us learn more about the Chinese side of cubing like the types of cubes and release dates.
