Will just throw in a few comments/thoughts here rather than digging into specific threads:-
UwU thoroughly deserved Member of the Year (yes, i'm going to push this as the new abbreviation of your username ) - Always a pleasure to interact with you, always interesting to read what you're commenting. Superb!
Imladrik should be proud of New Member - but boy that was an awesome crop of nominees and much like my loss of 2012 to Ian Butler (curse that handsome and talented Belgian!) it just reinforces what a great set of new members we have enjoyed.
I didn't even see I was nominated for Story Writing (because in my eyes I didn't write any stories, mostly because the Madden one is on a loooong pause and i never finished posting all the parts for the Mariners) - But Mre should just be given this by default each year he keeps posting. Genuinely inspires me!
Very very very happy for Jdog to win with NFL Prediction Game. At this point i spend way more time doing NFL based things on this site than cycling ones, and Jdogs consistency of project really helps this. Deserved, and then some!
MG Awards - Yeah, we really should shift these to match up with the actual MG season. But all good winners. Especially SotD for Team HQ and just general recognition of his insane level of detail and analysis!
Cycling Awards - There's cycling on this website !!! Also, wow i've really dropped off watching cycling in the last year so i'm sure there's no controversy in there at all. And i need to start spamming you all with more womens cycling again.
Thanks for organizing this again! Finally had time to update my siggys.
Very appreciative to join the 3-peat Story Writer of the Year club with Ian Butler and Kiserlovski01. And DITR collecting a fifth straight accolade.
I wish I had more time to keep DITR going, but some life news: In August, I accept a full-time job as a sport information director at a local NAIA college in Michigan near my hometown. I don't have as much time as I used to during the school year August-to-May, but hopeful to pick things back up when I have more time.
Also, as a 10-year reunion, I've been working on a special project to refurbish The Comeback into a PDF downloadable book that I'm really excited to share. That's about halfway done and something you can look forward to later this year.
Strange feeling to win my most awards in a year when I wasn't really very active, but glad my humour still brought some smiles to you all. Really embarrassed to win avatar after just assuming my role in the penguins after Croatia initiated it. Abhishek and knockout are still fighting over who is Kowalski and then they'll be joining us I'm sure
