A woefully belated award goes to the now-returned PaperLuigi's farewell post.

He's forgotten more about Mario, math, and other things that start with M than you'll ever know. And he never forgets.

The best newbie... was Count Bleck. I haven't seen him around in a while, but he was a lot of fun while he lasted, and will always be welcome here.

He's got a weird name and he's always got something nice to say. That's all we look for in a member.

EDIT: Frig, those should say 2008, not 2009. How did I not catch that sooner? If you keep a copy of one, go ahead and MS Paint an 8 over top of the 9. Well, at least I won't have to change that part of the XCF file if I do this next year (I'm open to it).
