My first inclination was not to vote because of the difficulty of deciding whom or what to choose for each category. As I read through the categories and rules, though, I began to come up with some ideas. A little later, after some searching, every category was filled. There were still some tough cases, however, so I decided to include runners-up for the close calls and for what or whom I consider to be worth honorable mention.
Poster of the Year»
Watoad's Vote: Sapphira
One of the forums' greatest posters of all time, she all but disappeared earlier this year. With the board upgrade, however, she made a triumphant return, and she's still posting strong.

Runner-up: Lizard Dude
Cool topics, great jokes, and loads of fun posts. A great example to not only to newbies, but to us all!

TMK @ E3 by me
It brought about the first TMK gathering, a momentous event that shook the Fungi Forums and maybe even the world.

Wallpapers you have used by Vidgmchtr
I love to collect wallpapers, and this trading ground provided me with some great ones that I'm still glad to have.

Re: Ultimate Birthday Compilation by Chupperson Weird
This was a perfect post for several reasons. Inside joke-type reasons. (That is to say, I shall not be explaining.) Hilarious.

Runner-up:
Re: MEGAߥTE gets Carpal Tunnel by Luigison
Side-bustingly funny in classic Luigison style. Also perfect, but just didn't have the inside joke tie-in.
Most Productive Poster»
Watoad's Vote: Suffix
As Lizard Dude appropriately put it, his birthday
works are incredible.
Smartest Poster»
Watoad's Vote: MEGAߥTE
Although a sordid source of complaint for me, the conversion of the board over to the new system was a work of genius. Aside from that, he shows just a tad bit of knowledge in his posts.
Most Amiable Poster»
Watoad's Vote: Markio
This guy just makes me smile. Although sometimes not feeling too grand himself, in the end his messages are usually quite cheerful and respectful, anyway.

Runner-up: Black Mage
I have voted for him in this category in the past. He always comes to my mind when I come to this category.
Best Signature»
Watoad's Vote: ^ It is an utterly inescapable miasma of pure, mind-shattering MADNESS from which no mind can awake! (Lizard Dude)

Runner-up: "Of all the people I know, it is expected that Watoad will say 'cheese' first." (Markio)
(Consideration: This category probably won't work too well in future poster award topics because of the new signature system that removes all trace of previous sigs. Just a thought.)
Funniest Poster»
Watoad's Vote: Deezer
If I may, I would go so far as to say that Deezer has a sultry sense of humor. I love it. And I love that he uses it frequently.

Runner-up: TEM
No shortage of political and other "jokes" that make me laugh even though we have differing views. All he has to do is simply type the name of the current president! :P
Most Creative Poster»
Watoad's Vote: Yoshisaurus Rex
In both topics and regular posts, this guy has had lots of new and interesting ideas and fun ways of saying things. Sorry for not posting in your topics more! >_<
