I'll be dreadfully honest. I'm not gonna bother filling it out because my votes wouldn't be considered too scientific. I rarely read most of the stuff here because, in MY opinion, it is either redundant, boring, or filled with uninformative useless spam. Because of this, I couldn't rationally choose a winner for most of the categories.
I do give much credit to otter for doing this whole awards thing. It IS a GREAT idea and he should keep doing it.
I would like to personally thank all members who
consistently.....

create threads that are intellectually stimulating OR amusing

post refreshing responses involving some thought

clearly state their views and back up any of those views so others can understand their point

help others when they need it
I would like to personally strangle all members who
consistently......

break the forum rules by posting useless 3 word comments

make me scroll unnecessarily to find something of value to the thread

create threads with no room for interesting discussion

Sorry for not voting otter. Maybe later when I get relaxed I'll try to vote for some of the categories.
