Most deserving of a ban: rj
Most deserved ban: rj
Least deserved ban: ben
Biggest Fanboy: rj
Biggest Postwhore: hkpnkp/ScottTheCuber/rj (all have completely filled the home page, some more than once, without a single useful post)
Worst New Method Suggestion: ZZ statue of kitten (not a bad method, but not new at all and very similar to an already existing method, but just with longer algs and more algs)
Best New Method Suggestion: ZZ-porky v2
Worst post in this thread: this one (EDIT: actually, after reading it in more detail, maybe worst post this year)

 

[Stefan]

Don't get me wrong, I like Stefan, but I don't think he's well suited for this.

I suspect that that nomination was about as serious as my avatar and Noah's video it's based on.

He generated move count stats for all 18(?) subsets as well as images AND algs.

On the other hand, that was all just some programming, and those algs were just random move-count-optimal ones. I didn't learn any of them, and I didn't even check them for execution-friendliness. Chris and Rob probably put more effort into TCLL and produced something actually worth learning and using.

Also I thought most improved noob was for someone who went from annoying/obnoxious etc to a useful forum member. Username/Kim has improved at cubing a lot, but I don't remember them being obnoxious on the forums.

There was definitely a phase when most of his posts were like "omg why don't you use the OAQT" but I would agree with him being most improved in both respects.
Best /worst troll: Ben/Applemobile
Best arguing: Kir
Worst arguing: strakerak
Most helpful: Brest
Most pedantic: Stefan
Most pushing for Skewb to be official: Ranzha
Best new method: new ZZ-Porky
Best new WCA profile: Scottishcuber for WR at first comp

That's all I can think of for now

 

[Noahaha]

Best forum awards host is the next person to host it.

Has to be from 2013, sorry

I suspect that that nomination was about as serious as my avatar and Noah's video it's based on.

So... completely serious?

I was joking of course. You're pretty nice though, especially IRL.
