As for myself, well, I won't say anything detailed in an effort to avoid opinionated responses back and forth. I personally don't feel like I could handle a position of administration on FFR. I don't have the managerial skills. I could make for a decent moderator again if I was given the chance, but I like to believe that I've burned my bridges, which is also another reason why I've been a lot more active on ThirdStyle. Kayla would make a great admin because she knows how to keep everything in check, even if it is a bit aggressive sometimes.

Not trying to start anything, but the whole indeed engine thing really was not as big of a deal as some made it out to be. The situation was just over exaggerated by certain people making it seem worse then what really happened. So dont think that would be a reason to "disqualify" him if this were to be a real choice in the next admin.

totally rigged bro

I second this. What AJ just said to Michael was really uncalled for.

[XxMidigamixX]

kono spoon...best file...qq...next admin...wtf...(not that I have any problem with the admin vote but just kinda threw me off for a moment as well as kono spoon for best file ><)

It wasn't really a huge issue, but it caused a shakeup in staff communication. That's mostly why it was blown out of proportion, I think. Otherwise this topic isn't suited for this thread really, it can be taken somewhere else.

[Reincarnate]

Smartest and Most Interesting? Really? I intentionally say stupid shit on this forum and pretty much only talk about Project Euler and/or poop.

[bmah]

A thank you to everyone who voted. I might make a different thread later regarding suggestions for the next forum awards. There's definitely skepticism for many of this year's results.

[nois-or-e]

lets try to stay on-topic guys.

Cheers~

also, this +1

Is good that you hang around from time to time Marcus, even if it is just to talk about poop :3

[Reincarnate]

indeed *sips tea*

[Syhto]

SHENANEGAINS attractive is way cooler than midnight

[robertsona]

i'm not actually mad about the results but can we PLEASE not have the linguistic abomination that is the "least friendliest" award next year

Understandable. I still think that statement was uncalled for though but i will deal with it another day.

[ghost-]

looks like i moved up in the world. went from being worst poster to nothing at all.

next year I'm goin for a good award :>

I don't mind people posting suggestions for the next forum awards in this thread. I actually prefer it, so fire away. There's already quite a bit I plan on changing for next time.

[bmah]

Sure! I'll just put everything I can think of for now.

suggestions:

- Subsequent forum award threads should be made after the year is complete (not before the year ends). For example, the 2012 FFR forums awards should be made in January 2013. This way, we have the full proper selection of songs for voting. This year was particularly unfortunate in that the official tourney was underway and was therefore releasing a ton of new songs at the end of the year while voting occurred.*

- For questions with a reasonably finite number of answers, such as songs or users of a certain group, a drop down list will restrict any incorrect choices (I know you know this already Hammy). Some people in this thread have also suggested something similar, but also mentioned that usernames could be be recognized and an appropriate list is provided afterwards (I don't know how hard it would be to code this, but it certainly would help people to answer a question correctly). Such restrictions, especially when they're not given in the order of date (e.g. drop down list of songs alphabetically ordered), may help remind people of some of the choices that occurred earlier throughout the year that they may have otherwise forgotten about.

- A list of definitions! This sounds silly, but many people don't actually know what a moderator does, or a music artist does vs a simfile artist, etc. Clarification on these terms will help people make the right choices, especially for open-ended questions that lack limited choices via a drop down box. Actually, a list of definitions would do good for the whole site in general.

- A reminder to people of what voting is for: to acknowledge who is best qualified for a certain category, as opposed to choosing favorites/most hated. Obviously, we can't stop people from making the choices they want, but maybe a reminder can go a long ways.

- Some categories appear to be too vague, or not of much use anymore (e.g. "favorite poster").


*an exception for 2012's awards: I suppose that you would have to include songs from all of 2012 as well as songs released at the end of December 2011.

[reuben_tate]

3rd place for Up and Coming FFRer! \o/ Thanks guys, it wouldn't have been possible without the welcoming, supportive, and competitive spirit of the people in this community. :')

Now on to my commentary...

FORUM

Friendliest Poster:
iironiic - 14
bmah - 10
subin - 8

All very deserving candidates.

Least Friendliest Poster:
Xx{Midnight}xX - 10
Attractive - 9
Plan_Bsk81127 - 8

I'm not too surprised, although I feel Attractive should have won by a landslide. And I wouldn't say that Middie is unfriendly, instead I would say he is rather blunt and direct.

Most Helpful Poster:
subin - 21
TC_Halogen - 17
bmah - 8

Haha, I figured subin would get this one, especially with all that sticky fishing.

Least Helpful Poster:
Xx{Midnight}xX - 11
Andrew Mitchell - 4
Attractive - 4
LJRox - 4

Gotta agree with AJ on this one. I've even seen Middie give some tips once in awhile, for example when Middie told Zek to try out Randomness Reactor III to try to get another VC SDG.

Best Overall Poster:
TC_Halogen - 16
bmah - 6
justin_ator - 6

AJ, I have to say that almost every single one of your posts contributes nicely to the "discussion." Nice win.

Worst Overall Poster:
Attractive - 9
Xx{Midnight}xX - 9
DossarLX ODI - 6
LJRox - 6

Oh gawd, what's with all the Middie haters? xD Attractive should have won this by a landslide. And since when is Dossar a terrible poster? lol

Funniest Poster:
m0de - 7
who_cares973 - 7
One Winged Angel - 6

This seems about right, no comments really.

Least Funniest Poster:
Nyokou - 11
DossarLX ODI - 10
Xx{Midnight}xX - 7

I was kinda expecting Nyokou for first. xD Dossar, sometimes I think you are trying to hard to be funny; better luck next year.

Smartest Poster:
Reincarnate - 15
devonin - 11
Reach - 8

I'd be first in stupidest poster if I were to disagree with these tallies. xD Nice job guys.

Stupidest Poster:
Gravity Kitten - 12
Attractive - 7
DossarLX ODI - 5
Xx{Midnight}xX - 5

First two clearly deserve the win, the others...no.

Favorite Poster:
bmah - 6

Interesting to see how close the runner-ups were. Nice win bmah.

Most Interesting Poster:
Reincarnate - 13
leonid - 6
subin - 5

I always find Reincarnate's posts interesting, gosh the things that come out of his mouth (or rather the things that he types.) Leonid's post are always an interesting read as well.

Most Random Poster:
0 - 11
Choofers - 8
who_cares973 - 5

yup

Least Noticed Poster:
ca25nada - 4
MrGiggles - 4
condoct - 3
flashpantss - 3
Sky Kitten - 3

I find this category to be somewhat confusing because you need to notice that the person isn't being noticed (which makes it really hard to notice that they aren't being noticed. xD) Although, I've noticed all these people.

Biggest Postwhore:
who_cares973 - 36
TC_Halogen - 5
championanwar - 4

No surprise here. xD Nice win wc. \o/

Best Newbie:
BethanyBangs - 9
Zekramcross - 8
subin - 7

I personally think Zek should have won this one. He's improved as a player, hosted two tourneys, and even started a team. Not to mention he's been very enthusiastic and has great attitude towards things.

Worst Newbie:
Goron HD - 11
Eduardo Salazar - 6
CammyGoesRawr - 4

I don't even understand why Cammy is on this list ?_?

Leonid, even if I stopped playing FFR, I'd go to the site just to see your interesting avatars. Nice win. Darkshark should have taken second imho, and PrawnSkunk, those avatar's of yours are just lol. xD

Worst Avatar:
Synthlight - 14

Winrar should have one this. Crotch avi's are a no-go.

People's sigs have changed too often during the course of voting, plus I don't really pay too much attention to them, so I don't have any comments.

THREADS

Most Interesting Critical Thinking Discussion:

This years CT threads wasn't so interesting to me, so I haven't really been active in there.

Most Enjoyable Chit Chat Thread:
You laugh, you lose - 23
Pet Peeves and other things that piss people off - 5

Yup, no disagreement here. xD

Best thread 2011:
6th Official FFR Tournament Thread - 10
You laugh, you lose - 6
Cosplay - 5
Queue/Batch Discussion Thread v2 - 5

The official thread really deserves its win. Someone should take that thread, publish it into a book, and try to sell it off as a comedic drama.

Worst thread 2011:
Cosplay - 8
Is it wrong to be gay? - 4

Yes

Best TGB thread 2011:
ATTN: Velocity - 9
whats a nyokou? - 3

I can't say whether or not I agree or disagree, I've been banned from TGB since May I believe. xD

Best Current Moderator:
psychoangel691 - 28
nois-or-e - 15

Kayla definitely deserves this. She's put up and dealt with a lot of people's bs, and I can tell she puts a lot of effort into doing what she does. Congrats Kayla!

Best Current Administrator:
Velocity - 39
Sprite- - 19
aperson - 14

Nice win Velocity, you always continue to amaze us with new features as well as satisfy our OCD issues in the "bugs that don't deserve their own thread" thread. xD

FUTURE!

Next Mod: (I listed an additional runner-up here since bmah was already a local mod before the voting began. I'm assuming people were voting for the next global mod.)
bmah - 17
justin_ator - 9
Sky Kitten - 8
iironiic - 6

I have to agree with Middie, I thought Sky Kitten would get more votes. Oh well...

Next Admin:
qqwref - 11
psychoangel691 - 10
HammyMcSquirrel - 6
TC_Halogen - 6

Considering the admins do a lot of background work and coding and such, I'm not surprised qqwref won. Nice win QQ.

Next Ban:

Rofl, two of these people are banned already. Rofl at the middie haters. xD

User Most Likely to Leave Soon:
aperson - 7
TC_Halogen - 7
Xx{Midnight}xX - 5

I think some people misread the category as "people who you'd like to leave soon" when the voted for Middie.




FFR - THE GAME

Best FFR file from 2011:
Kono spoon, suteki desu ne - 7
Staring at my Spaceship - 6
12 Bar Bloops - 4
Mathsma Attack - 4

Kono spoon is fun, but I prefer Staring at my Spaceship.

Worst FFR file from 2011:
Fall Silently - 8
Metro - 7
Skeletor - 7

I don't care for Fall Silently either. :/ I don't care for Skeletor either

FFR Gamewhore:
Hakulyte - 41
hi19hi19 - 5
Jerry DB - 5
rushyrulz - 5

yup

Up And Coming FFRer:
hi19hi19 - 22
00Razor00 - 8
reuben_tate - 6

hi19 has improved by alot throughout the course of the tourney. I have to agree with AJ about Razor. I'm not going to complain about my placement in 3rd, I'm surprised I actually placed. xD



HALL OF FAME

Nominee:
Velocity - 17
TC_Halogen - 10
DossarLX ODI - 9

Nice win Velo.

[UserNameGoesHere]

Congratulations to all who won, though I'm a bit disappointed some of the people I voted for didn't at least pick up 3rd place in certain categories. Some of my picks did end up first though so, eh, you win some you lose some.

[Darkbreezee]

totally agree with best simfile and simfile artist ^^

[iironiic]

Might as well do the same, since a bunch of people are doing it.

Before I begin, I'm not even going to comment on any negative superlative just because they were pointless from the start. I suppose you guys can take this as a suggestion haha.

FORUM

Friendliest Poster:
iironiic - 14
bmah - 10
subin - 8

Thank you again for the nomination! I think the other two deserves it equally as much as I do! There are a few more nice people that should at least be mentioned, including awein999, whom I voted for.

Most Helpful Poster:
subin - 21
TC_Halogen - 17
bmah - 8

Very well deserving. Browsing through the forums, I always see this guy make very easy-to-read helpful guides to get better at FFR, to perform a very small task and to navigate through the site with ease. Go to this guy if you need help with something.

Best Overall Poster:
TC_Halogen - 16
bmah - 6
justin_ator - 6

AJ's posts are filled with a good mix of intellect, helpfulness, and kindness. This doesn't surprise me.

Funniest Poster:
m0de - 7
who_cares973 - 7
One Winged Angel - 6

If anything, Rob gets me the most out of these guys. I'm assuming many people voted for m0de because he posts in the "You laugh, you lose" thread often, and Carlos... well he's Carlos and has his own sense of humor.

Smartest Poster:
Reincarnate - 15
devonin - 11
Reach - 8

Each nominee deserves this. I haven't seen Reach posting regularly so I can't really comment on that. I'd like to see devonin post more often since every time when I see him post, my attention goes directly to that post haha. And Rubix, I only voted you for this because of Project Euler . I'll get to work on those problems soon.

Favorite Poster:
bmah - 6
DossarLX ODI - 5
TC_Halogen - 5
who_cares973 - 5

Entirely subjective here. I can see why bmah won this though! Congrats! (:

Most Interesting Poster:
Reincarnate - 13
leonid - 6
subin - 5

Rubix, even if you were acting like an idiot, we still find that interesting hahaha. Maybe half of FFR is still charmed by your existence (as le gayyyy~ as this sounds lmfao). Seriously though, good win here.

Good nominees here (I noticed all of you guys btw ), but I think kjwkjw should definitely won this. This guy posts very often but no one ever comments on them. How can you do this to my brodda guys? ;__;

Biggest Postwhore:
who_cares973 - 36
TC_Halogen - 5
championanwar - 4

Self explanatory haha. Nice win again Carlos!

Best Newbie:

I wish Zekram won this . As a starting player however, Bethany is a reasonable choice.

I don't really pay attention to signatures but I found it extremely hilarious that Rob won this hahahaha.

I'm not going to comment on any threads since most of them aren't my cup of tea.



PERSONALITY / OTHER

Most Talented:
darkshark - 16
DossarLX ODI - 11
Spenner - 5
subin - 5

I don't really talk to darkshark much to know what he can do, but if he was only chosen for making graphics, that's not a talent... that's a skill. Same thing applies to Dossar with his rhythm gaming -skills-. I don't also know Spenner too well but same applies to what I said about ds. subin should have won this by a lot. This guy can play the piano so well! It's really amazing.

Best FFR Music Artist:
KgZ - 8
Blitz Lunar - 6
championanwar - 5

No surprise. I wish more people make music too.

Best FFR Simfile Artist:
bmah - 16
hi19hi19 - 12
kommisar - 9

Well deserved. Definitely helped me a lot with my "Where Are You Christmas" file.

Most Artistic / Best Art Award:
darkshark - 40
_.Spitfire._ - 10
Spenner - 9

No surprise here either.

Most Missed:
kommisar - 17
jellygod - 9
Tasselfoot - 7

Yeah Kommi may be missed, but I think this should be interpreted as one who isn't going to come back to FFR. jellygod already got his nomination last year so I tried not voting for him this time. (Usually, when I vote for someone, I try to choose different nominees for each category so that the same "popular" people don't win over and over again.) I chose Jtehanonymous because he's one of my best friends on FFR and I wish he didn't leave :'(.


Not commenting on Best Mod or Best Admin. There isn't much to say there.

Sexiest Male:
I like it - 8
One Winged Angel - 6
Choofers - 5
gnr61 - 5

This is hard to choose. To be completely honest, I don't see any attractive guys on FFR (le gayyy~~ moment). If anything, puppet is probably the most attractive.

Sexiest Female:
DarknessXoXLight - 13
Zeldagurlfan1 - 11
euphoriakisses - 7

Lmfao... feels like this is a popularity contest for the ladies haha. You all are beautiful but I think Becky8 is the most deserving of this. Not going to comment why just to avoid awkwardness hahaha.


FUTURE!

Next Mod: (I listed an additional runner-up here since bmah was already a local mod before the voting began. I'm assuming people were voting for the next global mod.)
bmah - 17
justin_ator - 9

iironiic - 6

Oh, I didn't know bmah was a local mod haha! Oops! I can see how Justin and Ally would make reasonable mods on FFR. Very flattering to see that the community believes I have potential as well heh.

Next Admin:
qqwref - 11
psychoangel691 - 10
HammyMcSquirrel - 6
TC_Halogen - 6

I voted Hammy for this one. This guy gets ripped on for doing the right duties. He knows what he's doing and it wouldn't surprise me to see him become the next admin.

FFR - THE GAME

Best FFR file from 2011:
Kono spoon, suteki desu ne - 7
Staring at my Spaceship - 6
12 Bar Bloops - 4
Mathsma Attack - 4

I wished Staring at My Spaceship win this. Kono is a funny file, and apparently "funny" = "best" on FFR.

Worst FFR file from 2011:
Fall Silently - 8
Metro - 7
Skeletor - 7

Fall Silently in my opinion is one of Dossar's better files. I guess it shows how much the community despises Dossar's stepping style hahaha. I voted mutant for this heh.

FFR Gamewhore:
Hakulyte - 41
hi19hi19 - 5
Jerry DB - 5
rushyrulz - 5

Jerry should've won this. He gets 300mil every day without using vrofl.

Up And Coming FFRer:
hi19hi19 - 22
00Razor00 - 8
reuben_tate - 6

Not surprising here either! Go get that Reality AAA hi19


HALL OF FAME

Nominee:
Velocity - 17
TC_Halogen - 10
DossarLX ODI - 9

For me, it's a tossup between Velocity and devonin. I am a little upset to not see devonin's name in the list because this guy has done so much for FFR. Now that he's retired, it kind of sucks to see not many people respect what he has put for FFR. Velocity is a great contender for his contributions to coding and such, but I don't really use the newer features of FFR (Velo's engine) heh.
