Months ago, you voted members for various categories, and were promised the results for January. Well, after doing a Nintendo....here they are.

 

It's a shame (well...mostly) that some of these members in the awards are no longer with us, some have left, some have gotten themselves banned.

 

I've counted all the votes up, and compiled a list of the winners, the runners up, and people whe just behind votes-wise. In the case of a tie, I've let both share the spot. As someone who has won nothing (I got 2 half votes, though) in these awards...I feel I'm in a neutral position to present them.

 

So.....let’s get started.

 

The 2006 N-Europe Member Of The Year

 

Winner: Fierce_Link

 

This was not a case of everyone licking the admin's shoes, Flinky is a valued member of this community, and I hope we've helped him with his unfortunate sting of problems. His posts in the Post your "Meaningless Post of The Day" thread are usually very interesting to read, and he's loved by just about everyone here. Good luck in the future, Flinky. We'll miss you.

 

Runner Up: The3rdChildren, Dante

 

The runner up position was a tie between The3rdChildren - who was a well liked character until he got himself banned, and Dante - who everyone loves for his newsbot-style posting. Both members deserve the acknowledgement (at the time of voting, anyway).

 

Almost There: Canand, Eenuh, Jordan, Ashley, TakeoMiyazaki, Hero-of-Time

 

Thread Starter Of The Year

 

Winner: Flaight

 

Oh Flaight...where are you? His idea of the Post your "Meaningless Post of The Day" is a massive hit - the thread has helped reduce a lot of what would otherwise be spam-threads, and made the community closer, as it's somewhere that we can use to get to know each other better. He hasn't made many threads, but Q: Where to buy Urinal Cakes and Your car falls in a river. What would you do? deserve to be remembered.

 

Runner Up: Fierce_Link

 

The Flinkster again (aka Mian Allah Rassi Mohammed Din Muzhar Jamal Rasool). As of now, 202 threads created. He created a ton of news topics in the early days (when only a select few could create topics), plus many entertaining threads (You And Your Hair, The Highs And The Woes Of Preordering, Flat/Housemates From Hell).

 

Almost There: Stocka, Tellyn!, Meik

 

Best Mod Of The Year

 

Winner: Hero-of-time

 

Mr HoT gets voted as Mr Popular Mod. Whether it be for his astonishingly good looks, good posting, or spot-on moderating (he does do some of that, right?), He's Number 1 on most people's lists.

 

Runner Up: Blackfox, Diemetrix

 

Another tie. Blackfox's and Diemetrix's prowling of the forums are both equally great. They both have the key ideas into knowing what threads to lock.

 

Almost There: Jordan, Shorty, Moria

 

Best Admin Of The Year

 

Winner: Fierce_Link

 

Mr Flinkington again. Without him as admin, we would we doomed (therefore, we are now all officially doomed); this place wouldn't have started too well without him here.

 

Runner Up: Ashley

 

Or [Girl's Name] (Which Is a great name because it remind's me of a FireFly quote) as (s?)he now calls himself. He has been essential to the running of the forum, he's also has a mighty presence in the Post your "Meaningless Post of The Day" thread.

 

Almost There: Platty, Mokong X-C, Tim

 

Most Helpful Member Of The Year

 

Winner: Dante

 

It had to be. He helps us out by C&Ping gaming news for us all (plus some random other bits), but he also has a few of his own helpful posts, too. A truly valued member of this forum.

 

Runner Up: Supergrunch

 

Supergrunch is also Mr Helpful (Happy Sandwich for yesterday, btw). Although I can't recall anything he did that was particularly helpful. Congrats, anyway.

 

Almost There: Jordan, Hero-of-Time, Fierce_Link

 

Most Respected Member

 

Winner: Fierce_Link

 

Despite everyone taking the mick out of his name by putting it into band names, film titles and anything else they think of, everyone flinkingly respects the Flinkster. I'll leave this entry short...I'll be writing more on him later.

 

Runner Up: Ashley

 

Mr Admin Ashley. Admins are always respected. In fact, "Though must respect thy admin" is the little-known 12th Commandment (the 11th is "Cubes Rule", if you were wondering).

 

Almost There: rokhed00, Dante, Stocka, Aimless, Platty

 

Best Newcomer Of 2006

 

Winner: Letty

 

Everyone loves Jordan's Girly. Everyone. So, it isn't surprising that she is everyone’s most loved newcomer. So, everyone, a round of applause for the Lovely Letty. And her artistic works.

 

Runner Up: The Bard, mcj_metroid, TakeoMiyazaki

 

Quite a bunch, these 3 all tie for the runners up position. All 3 are now glued into the working of the forum.

 

Almost There: Eenuh, Rummy, Fresh

 

Most Knowledgeable Member Of The Year

 

Winner: Dante

 

I myself don't see how the ability to press the keys Shift, C and V makes someone knowledgeable, but some people obviously think that behind the newsbot exterior, is a very smart guy.

 

Runner Up: pedrocasilva

 

Predro's Law of Stuff states that Pedrocasilva knows everything within the boundaries of space and time. And you lot all agree with the law. Rightly so.

 

Almost There: Ginger_Chris, Ashley

 

Funniest Member Of 2006

 

Winner: Dabookerman

 

For his many, many random comments which could be deemed at spam. Some loved it, others hated it. Those who loved them voted for him here. It's too early to say that those who loved him loved him more than how much those who hated him hated him.

 

Runner Up: Meik

 

I must say, when I was counting all the votes, Meik's entry made me laugh - his humour managed to infest itself into every one of his posts. He probably does it without realising.

 

Almost There: The3rdChildren, EEvilMurray, Nintendork

 

Best/Worst Negative Member of 2006

 

Winner: Solitanze

 

You all still remember him, and both hated and loathed him. He eventually got what you wanted, and is now no longer here. The Solitanze Zelda Criticism Index. - See this post for more.

 

Runner Up: Nintendork

 

For someone who made the "clever" name from "Nintendo" and "Dork", he seemed to loath Nintendo, and was essentially just an annoying troll.

 

Almost There: ZeldaFreak, arab_freak, The Bard

 

Spammer Of The Year

 

Winner: Dabookerman

 

I mentioned before that there were those who loved him, and those who hated him. This is where those who didn't find his posts funny come into play. He's just like marmite.

 

Runner Up: Caris

 

Caris, seen as a spammer by all the staff. Or it could be that he's the poor guy they pick on and blame everything on. We love you, really.

 

Almost There: Hiyaz!, Solitanze, TakeoMiyazaki

 

Most Missed User Of The Year

 

Winner: Offerman

 

This guy was a legend, and was probably God in n-europe member form. He's now gone, but just like Christianity's Jesus, he will always be with us in spirit.

 

Runner Up: Athriller

 

He came, he posted, we camed. We loved him, and we still do. Please come back.

 

Almost There: Stranger, Flaight, Sprout

 

User With The Best Sigs Of The Year

 

Winner: Fresh

 

His style is amazing (even today they smell fresh - and everyone seem to be following his recent tutorial), and this just proves it. His signatures will never decay.

 

Runner Up: RedShell

 

Most noticeable is his mixture of cartoon and glass effects. His signatures have always looked amazing.

 

Almost There: Dabookerman, The Twilighter, Shorty

 

User With The Best Avatars Of The Year

 

Winner: RedShell

 

[insert what I put in the last award. Replace "Signature" with "Avatar"]

 

Runner Up: Fresh

 

[insert what I put in the last award. Replace "Signature" with "Avatar"]

 

Almost There: Letty, Jordan

 

If You Were Stuck In A Lift With An N-Eer...Who Would It Be

 

Winner: TakeoMiyazaki, Eenuh

 

Lets just say, this award was very close. Only a few votes separated the winners and the people who didn't make the "Almost There" position. Then again, this is probably the most personal award. Takeo and Eenuh are both great people for getting stuck in a lift with. In fact, I would prefer getting stuck in a lift with these two than win the lottery.

 

Runner Up: Fierce_Link

 

Getting stuck in a lift with this guy is also great. I've probably said enough already...everyone here loves him.

 

Almost There: Retro-Lover, Dabookerman, Letty, Sprout, rokhed00, ViPeR

 

The Taciturn Award

 

Winner: Bowser57

 

Bowser57 doesn't post much, but when he does/did, it was certain to be worth reading - our anticipation for his next post is greater than a 12-year-olds anticipation for the next Harry Potter Book.

 

Runner Up: Mr Odwin

 

Mr. Odwin. A fabulous member, his posts are always great to read. Hopefully his child will become as great a person as himself.

 

Almost There: Aimless, Sprout, Haver, CooInTheZoo

 

The User Who Spends Most Of His/Her Entire Life On Here

 

Winner: Jordan

 

Does he ever leave? Over 7000 posts suggests that he doesn't. Still, that ain't a bad thing - we love having him here all the time.

 

Runner Up: Dante

 

He always seems to give us the latest info 24/7...which suggests that he never sleeps.

 

Almost There: Retro-Lover, Ashley

 

Best Forum Moment of 2006

 

Winner: Wii Name Announcement

 

Just over a year ago, Nintendo announced that the Nintendo Revolution would be called the Wii. Now, we say the name like it's just any old name, when it was announced there was much, much commotion over it (a clever advertising stunt, it seems). Over the next few days, we made all the jokes and gifs that could possibly be made based on the name. Twas funny.

 

Runner Up: Jordan Avatar Revolution

 

I can't remember who started this, but one day I logged on to see half the forum merging their avatar with Jordan's Avatar. It was hilarious - we should do that again to someone else.

 

Almost There: Colour War, E3, First Revolution Screens (Red Steel), Sony E3 Conference, Isketch, "Get The Stick Figure to The Other Side"

 

The N-Europe 2006 Award For Personality Of The Year

 

Winner: TakeoMiyazaki

 

Personality is probably the most important thing about a person. So, this award means that Takeo is a truly amazing guy. Well done!

 

Runner Up: Rokhed00

 

What a guy. You can tell he has a great personality, and he's a hero. "Imperfections" (like his total hate for New Who, yet still watching it) just make someone's personality more interesting.

 

Almost There: The3rdChildren, Jordan, Nintendork

 

Best User Ever

 

Winner: Fierce_Link

 

Who would of guessed....well..everyone would of guessed. Flinky is our blood, our reason for still visiting these forums. God forbid what would happen should he leave. Hang on.....

 

Runner Up: Bowser57

 

Bowser57 again. 56 and 58 are idiots, yet 57 manages to be almost perfect, and is a form that every member should aim to become.

 

Almost There: Tim, Letty, Canand, rokhed00, Athriller

 

The N-Europe 2006 Lifetime Achievement Award

 

Winner: Jordan

 

This forum wouldn't be the same without him. The Legend of the Jar shall live with us throughout the rest of our lives. He accounts for half of this forum's posts, and we love him for it.

 

Runner Up: Fierce_Link

 

He made this forum what it is - thank you Flinky, we'll be here, waiting for you to return. Good luck in your life.

 

Almost There: rokhed00, Ashley, Platty

 

EDIT by Jordan: Sorry... having my name spelt wrong drives me insane.

Awards Thread Poster of The Year

 

Winner: Cube

 

For a while it looked as if we would be in for a rollover awards ceremony, but someone finally decided to do something about it. That someone was Cube.

 

Bask in the faint praise.
