Well folks. The time of our 1st anniversary is drawing near, and with it.. I bring you the winners of the inaugural WarBoards Awards.

The categories and nominations this year were as follows:

The Puppet (Most Popular)
Not neccesarily the most courteous, intelligent or useful member, but still easily recognized by the collective forum.
Nominations: Fenguin, Dunchy, Radlin, WhiteKnight, ZeroDarkStar.

The Ambassador (Most Intelligent)
People nominated for this title are of a higher calibre. They know how to construct and deliver near-flawless arguments in many serious debates.
Nominations: BSTRhino, DarkMagneto, EdvardMunch, Exedore, Fenguin, TheBB, theXenon.

The Artisan of Visions (Best Graphic Designer/Artist)
Whatever their medium may be, these members behold sights that can only be described with visual splendor.
Nominations: Battlecruiser, BlackHawk, CodeZero, DarkViper, Eros, Fenguin, ZeroDarkStar.

The Jester (Most Humourous)
Laughter is their forte. Humility and Modesty are not among their characters. Hilarity and Amusement at the sake of their own hides are what they live for.
Nominations: Duddits, Dunchy, EdvardMunch, Fenguin, Schwitzer, theXenon.

The Guide (Most Helpful)
These members devote their time to making newer members of our community feel welcome and informed. These people may also be fountains of knowledge that impart advice and instruction to fellow members who are having issues in and out of the forums.
Nominations: BSTRhino, NeoX, ProtossChick99, StealthyDeath, The WarBoards Community.

The Partisan (Best Moderator)
A testiment to the security, fairness kindness of the forums. Tirelessly ridding the forums of opposition towards the atmosphere and standards of a great forum, but always have a spare moment to lend a hand to help those in need.
Nominations: BSTRhino, Dunchy, OboeGuru, Radlin, Schwitzer.

The Sceptre (Best Administrator)
The crew behind the forums work hard to ensure the things we take for granted. Always coming up with fresh ideas to better the site and the experience, they are often overlooked due to their infrequent public contact.
Nominations: AJ, Edgewize, Fenguin.

----

It is my privilege to present to you, the winners:
The Puppet: Dunchy
The Ambassador: Xenon
The Artisan of Visions: ZeroDarkStar
The Jester: Dunchy
The Guide: The WarBoards Community
The Partisan: A Tie! BSTRhino & Schwitzer
The Sceptre: AJ

I'd like to mention that Edge and Fenguin were tied for second place. ;) And that in general almost every category has an extremely close margin at the end for the winner. Without some last minute votes, we would have had more than just one tie for certain.

Thank you for a wonderful year at WarBoards -- I'm sure Edge or I will post a more heartfelt message regarding that in a week. Until then, thanks for your support and your nominations and your votes!

Congratulations!

I have always had great respect for Schwitzer, there's no one else I would have rather shared the Partisan award with. Thank you and congratulations to all the winners.

Aside from the really stupid names I'd say this was almost a really good awards thing! :D

Congrats to all the winners.

Sad that I wasn't nominated... let alone won any of the awards... well, it's sad for me at least! :P

I see most of the people I voted for won. That's nice to hear.
Special congrats to:
The Artisan of Visions: ZeroDarkStar
I've always admired your work and, as I've said somewhere else, I started PSing after reading a couple of your tuts @ The Soule.
The Guide: the Warboards Community
Quite true. Although there are some here who are less than helpful, I've made some really good friends here. Most people at WB are incredibly cool to hang out with, but even more are full of such knowledge and have such experience that it's just amazing. Programmers, webmasters, graphic designers, diplo players, RPers, mapmakers...<3
The Partisan: Schwitzer & BSTRhino:
Schwitty is Evil and horniness incarnated, there's no doubt 'bout that, whereas BST is like... friendly and... stuff [:P]. Still, they both manage to moderate the forums with deadly efficiency. Great job guys
The Sceptre: AJ
Yeah, I know you hate me, AJ, but that's not keeping me from doing this...

Congratulations to all the winners. :)

My congratulations go out to all the winners, so I guess BSt and Schiwitzer have to share an award but hey were winners the whole Warboards community vote and all.

*Goes off mumbling something about sappy and choice....

But seriously I think that the people who deserved to recieved the awards won and I wish them the best of luck.

Just remember; "I am not a crook!"

With so few awards it's difficult to truley acknowledge everyone who has contributed so much to these forums. Congratulations to the winners, and well done to everyone who was nominated.

Sorry Mag, but that's kind of a lame reason not to vote :concern:

As for everybody else, congradulations! I'm glad that even I, as part of the Warboard's Community, won an award :P

Just for curiosity's sake AJ, how many people in total actually voted anyway? They're the only ones who can consider themselves part of the "community". If you didn't vote, you're just a lurker. ^^
