Every single day, people give up their time and effort to post on the TSA forums. I know that it may not sound like a large gesture, but sometimes, when you are stuck in a pretty sticky situation, these forums can be invaluable. These forums also provide many with a good laugh, with the various bits and pieces of banter that are constantly flying around, from Hodgi's thumb, to TheShockWave's biscuit-eating antics. However, do these people ever get mentioned for it? No, they don't, so I thought that it might be a good idea to, for the first time ever, set up the TSA Forum Awards 2009!
So, how is this going to work? Below you will find several categories, some serious, and some not so serious. In your post, you need to vote for the one member that fits into that category, for every single category. On the first line of your post, please state the categories and your votes, and then below that you are free to chat about your choices.
On the 28th December, I will count up all of the votes, and compile a list of the winners. Anyway, without further ado, below are the categories…
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________
The Best Forum Poster of 2009
This is the big one. Who has contributed the most banter / advice / help on the forums this year? Who's posts have you really been looking forward to reading? In short, vote for your favourite forum poster here.
The Most Helpful Forum Poster of 2009
Who has given you the most help and advice when you have been stuck in a sticky situation? Show your appreciation, and give them a vote.
The Funniest Forum Poster of 2009
This will probably be the tightest category. Who has made you laugh the most on the forums this year? Decide, and crown them your winner!
The Best Moderator of 2009
All of the moderators are brilliant, but who has contributed the most this year? Who has locked / deleted the most spam? Who has got in with the community and had a good laugh? Vote for them here.
The Most Annoying Spammer of 2009
Who has polluted the forums with their worthless spam this year? Disgrace them with your vote.
The Fastest Forum Poster of 2009
When you have wanted some advice or just someone to talk to, who has come to your aid the fastest?
The Best New Member of 2009
Who has joined this year and contributed the most to the forums? Vote for them here.
The Best at Turning a Serious Conversation into a Laugh Award of 2009
Who has taken a serious conversation and turned it all into a laugh? Give them your vote, and they may do it a bit more!
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________
They are the categories, so what are you waiting for? Get your votes in, and I will announce the winners on the 28th December.
Good Luck!

These categories suck. Where's Drunken Poster of the Year? Oh, wait. That was 2008, back at the old TSA.

A big thankyou to TheShockWave and BrendanCalls for my votes – I really do appreciate them.
@Omega-W You have basically contradicted yourself. There is no drunken posting on TSA any more so there was no need for the category.

Oh man, I have a terrible memory, so my decisions can only go about two weeks back… Because of that, I won't actually be voting (but will endeavour to pay more attention next year). For what it's worth though, almost everyone on here is fab.
From ColossalBlue – for his outstanding services to the TSA records,
to Nofi – for co-founding and keeping the site running and occasionally just turning up and saying "good idea, I'll add that to the site tomorrow"
or Yogh_Wayne – for keeping me company towards the end of my long and torturous tour on Helgan last week (valor 4 achieved!)
and Dexter17 – for his excellence in end of year good time celebratory happy poll thankfulness creation (and voting me most helpful  )
and everyone in between.
I think I'd better stop there, I can feel myself welling up

Awwh, you guys are too kind for best moderator. Even though I have been more absent as of late I still try and do my bit if I see a topic that is spam or needs moving. I promise to be here more often after xmas, it's just settling into uni.

Hodgi
The Most Helpful Forum Poster of 2009

As I can't vote for myself ;) my vote goes to Hodgi.

Good idea Dexter but I find that most categories for me have several choices for winner apart from the spammer one. So I will decline to vote as most TSA members are great on the forum and I cannot decide.

Agreed. I can understand some people deciding not to vote for some categories as it is genuinely hard to choose, but not voting at all? Get off that fence, people!

The Best Forum Poster of 2009 – Dexter17
Sorry to water it down but I don't know anyone very well here, still. I feel shiny and new. Hopefully this'll change in a year's time. however, Dexter's forum ramblings are splendid.
The Most Helpful Forum Poster of 2009 – Jas-n
Who's contributions and personal help with Folding@Home has been nothing short of incredible.
The Funniest Forum Poster of 2009 – Me, duh!
The Best Moderator of 2009 – nofi
Haven't had to see any moderation as everyone is so well behaved. Saying that, nofi calling people a "tit" or a "nob" is bloody funny. Appreciate he's staff but he still moderates!
The Most Annoying Spammer of 2009 – Damigos
Damigos' nonsense on the comments sections were very funny. Utter twat of a guy but still made me laugh. Every website needs a clown. Bring him back!
The Fastest Forum Poster of 2009 – Not a sodding clue.
The Best New Member of 2009 – Damigos!
The Best at Turning a Serious Conversation into a Laugh Award of 2009 – We have serious conversations?!
Ignore me voting for myself. I just didn't have a clue (again)

To give this a bit more prominence, I will pin this thread until after the new year when the winners have been announced so people can see and then unpin it after that.
Good luck everyone
