Salami

Here are my final nominations. I'm going to refuse any more temptations to nominate anyone else.

Best Avatar: I'll have to go with Jackhammer. I love that "Pink Freud" so much. Vanilla and duga are also very good.

Sexiest Member (Male): Odyshape. He's really cute. Look at him with his watch in the picture gallery. And duga.

Sexiest Member (Female): Easily Vanilla. I love her already. I think Aurora comes pretty close. [And duga too! Kidding.]

Most Inane: Killcreek. I don't know why Killcreek ever came here.

Most Enigmatic: Tore. I love it when he turns up. Duga is so infrequently encountered, but when he turns up, I want to listen.

Angriest Member: TheBig3, because Urban says so.

Biggest Drama Whore: Paloma. She's a real babe. Great lass. I'm not giving her this in a negative way, I just think she really deserves an award.

Nicest Member: s_k. Really friendly guy. Burning Down a close second. Necromancer deserves special recognition too.

Best Debater: duga. Only seen a few posts by him, but every single one was brilliant. And it's about time someone gave him some love! Il Duce is the "master debater", but that's different.

Worst Debater: Erasertime.306. Worked very hard for this award and he damn well deserves it. He even changed the thread name to C.C. Deville. Worthy winner.

Best Writer: RMR. Fantastic series of reviews.

Biggest Virtuoso: Freebase Dali. No competition.

Smartest Poster: Jackhammer. Tore is also very intelligent. Duga writes more in a single post that I've ever said on this forum, so I'm nominating him too.

Funniest Member: Urban. Every single one of his posts make me laugh out loud. Also Unchained Ballad. @#!*ing hilarious at times.

Best Mediator: Janzoon. Coolest man on the forum. Nothing can annoy him.

Biggest Troll: SIRIUSB, Hip Hop Bunny Hop and Bane of your Existence.
Also very worthy of note is Baggs, the "progwanker" as Pedestrian amusingly put it.

Biggest Contributor: Pedestrian. So much effort put into here, I don't know how she does it.

Most Improved Member: I haven't been around long enough to know!

Most Underrated Poster: Necromancer. Really knowledgeble yet no one mentions him. Same with duga

Most Mainstream Music Taste: djchamelean.

Most Obscure Music Taste: Batlord. Knows more about metal than I ever knew about my girlfriend.

Best Music Taste: Trollheart. And by "best", I probably mean similar to mine! Burning Down as well.

Biggest Music Nerd: Jackhammer. In a good way.

Best Thread Starter: Jackhammer again! His really do stand the test of time.

Most Missed Poster: Boo Boo. I feel very sorry for poor old boobs. I think there must have been some deep personal loss in his life for his unfortunate deterioration. I sympathise with him, but think that he should really have thought before saying some of what he did.

Thread of the Year: "The Evolution of Music: Accident, or Adaptation? " It's a new one, but has a potential for endless productive discussion./

Journal of the Year: Crosswalking - Pedestrian. It's an incredible read, very informative, very well written with excellent turn of phrase and very personal.
A close second would be Thoughts from a music major - by Burning Down. Talks about exactly the kind of music I love in a very honest and friendly kind of way.

Moderator of the Year: Sorry to sound like a creep, but there are several that deserve a mention:

Overall best mod must be Pedestrian. The amount of effort she puts into this forum is amazing. duga is the coolest, and one whom
I'm liking increasingly. Burning Down is the nicest. I can't nominate any more, sorry!

Best New Member 2011: Il Duce and Tom Clancy11.

Member of the Year 2011: duga.
