Poster of the YearThe most prestigious and coveted award of all well let's get it out of the way already.
Oh look it's me.
=Runner-up=Oh look it's BP.
~Honorable Mentions~ These guys are awesome too.
Post of the YearA very tight race this year, but in the end, BP's apocalyptic vision won out. It's
"Mii Final Smash"!
=Runner-up=Not the classiest post out there I suppose, but very nearly the funniest. It's
"Ress Ronery", by PaperLuigi!
~Honorable Mentions~Not to be deterred, BP comes back with an instant classic.
"Bees"!
And speaking of classics, "Guide to Kissing" saw a brief yet minty revival last year with a bit of belated lady advice from Puqtd.
"Puqtd stays smooth", baby.
Topic of the YearPretty unanimous here, and it's not hard to see why. A thread that had all the Mario-obsession and all the insanity that this board is known for. It's The Chef's "The Silly Mario Fan Theories Thread"!
Image of the YearWe can always count on Luigison for educational and enlightening topics. Usually. It's "How to identify wood", from the thread, "Wood, A How To"!
=Runner-up=If 2011 could be summed up in one image, it'd probably be a much larger image than this one. Weegee's "TEH FUNNAYEST MEME EVAR" is a much more manageable size for most screen resolutions.
Most Amiable PosterWell, howdly-doodly there, Mushroom neighbor! Just your friendly neighborhood Toad here, wondering if you needed to borrow any sugar!
=Runner-up=In case you missed that, Toad doesn't borrow your sugar -- he goes to your house to
lend you sugar. So yeah, he totally deserves this. Even though he's gonna donate the awards to some homeless puppies or something when the ceremony's over.
Funniest PosterHe made us laugh, he made us cry, and he taught us how to love again. It's Weegee!
=Runner-up=More like
punner-up, eh? Eh?
Eh? (it's Toad)
Most Creative PosterOh look who it is again.
=Runner-up=Another great visual artist, with some of the forum's most interesting interpretations and syntheses. It's Kojinka!
~Honorable Mentions~Let's not neglect the forum's musical side, though! (spoiler alert: it won't be neglected next year) It's Turtlekid1! As opposed to those tone-deaf Turtlekids2-9.
And a guy who should've gotten more votes is a guy who combines both sides! And both those guys is Qwerty!
Most Creepiest PosterA little skeevy around the edges? That's just the way we like'em.
Smartest PosterWhat's this guy doing hanging out around us dummies for? Luigison!
=Runner-up=Luigison should be more like this guy and only pop in once in a while so our dumbness doesn't contaminate him. It's MEGAߥTE!
Best ModDoes the mod that mods least mod best? Apparently! BP! (unless Lizard Dude still counts)
=Runner-up=Luigison? That knucklenut again? Yes!
Best NewbieContrary to popular reports, there is still a great influx of actual humans joining this board! And some of them are super-entertaining and creative! One of them is Qwerty, and I've been using too many exclamation points lately.
=Runner-up=In the words of the Fonz, "A!"
~Honorable Mention~It's Glorb! No wait, it's just Puqtd.
(it's glorb)
Blast from the PastShe's been here off and on since the beginning, and as of last year, she's back and better than ever. It's Chocobo!
Most MissedCome on, Black Mage! Is Luigison the only adult left here? Is he gonna have to do all the adultery himself?
=Runner-up=Whatever happened to Kuromatsu and his awesome Paint skills?
~Honorable Mentions~And Chupperson Weird, too! He needs to get over that
stack overflow thing that happened to him or whatever. Maybe on a new account, though, because the whole 11111 thing is rather perfect.
(maybe he's A)
This guy needs to come back too, if for no other reason than to give Toad some competition for Most Amiable. It's FlamingBlueMario!
Most ImprovedIt's been a long, hard road, but the one who once posted
this has since evolved, not just into one of the more civilized members of the board, but also
a god. It's TheMightyThor (who is also coolkid)!
Best NameSpeaking of which, you pretty much can't argue with that name.
=Runner-up=Good ol' Tim Buckley has a good name too, though.
Well, not like that.
~Honorable Mention~And here's a name that had a lot of thought put into it. A!
Best SignatureDo you think this is a good signature? Why?
=Runner-up=Trrry not to get a paper cut from all the awards you're carrying (after you take the PNGs down to FedExKinkos and print them out), BP!!
~Honorable Mention~And bringing up the rear, it's a special guest appearance from Hideo Kojima!
Most Average PosterIf you took all the members of the forum and stuck them in a blender, you'd be a very disturbed individual. Fortunately, CoconutMikeNike is far too normal and well-adjusted to do something like that. Right?
Most Mario-Wise PosterI'm flattened!
=Runner-up=But hey, I'm not the only crazed pedant around here! It's The Chef!
~Honorable Mention~Respect the Deez.
Meowiest Poster^_^
=Runner-up=Yatta!
Dynamic DuoIs A BP's alt? IT IS A MYSTERY.
Queen of PostersAll hail Queen Warp!
Princess of PostersNext in line to the throne is the recently returned Chocobo, Princess Royal!
Duchess of PostersI'm not real clear on how royal lines of succession work, but duchesses are on there somewhere, right? It's Pt_Peach!
Dame of PostersAnd rounding out the matriarchy is Dame Dude of Bozeman.
The WTD AwardPancreatitis.
The Glorb AwardThe spirit of Glorb lives on, in TEM.
The Deezer AwardThe most important award of all here it is.
And after a grueling battle (that went into overtime!), Deezer has held on to the Deezer Award!
