Welcome to the 2014 Paint.NET Forum Awards Show! Where you decided the best of 2014, the worst of 2014, and everything in between!
:arrow-left: Hi, I'm your host, BoltBait.
OK, let's dive right in to the first award for the evening...
The Mimi Bobeck Award:
This one's for the biggest forum troll of 2014 on the Paint.NET forum. As I'm sure you're aware, a forum troll is someone who posts a lot, and whose posts don't always have an overflow of useful content. Not to say that they never have relevant posts, but -- ah hell, it's 2014, you guys know what a forum troll on the Internet is by now.
The nominees for this award include: ugh, too many to list
The runner-up with 25% of the vote is... SAND33P
And, the big winner with 50% of the vote is... Cc4FuzzyHuggles :trophy:
Congratulations (I think?)
Now, one for the mods of this wonderful board.
The Real Estate Award:
This one's for the mod who tends to close posts the most – they are always there, just waiting for someone to break the rules or post something useless. Decide that you're gonna make a post wrong forum? BAM! This guy moves it before you even get a reply. Some n00b spamming the forums with Viagra ads? BAM! Bant! Not only does this guy close posts, but he wields the banhammer in a way which would make Thor proud.
The nominees for this award include, surprisingly enough: most of the mods!
The runner-up with 23% of the vote is... BoltBait (Hey! That's me!)
And, the winner with 46% of the vote is... Ego Eram Reputo :trophy:
Keep up the great work!
Now, back to an award you probably don't want to win.
The "Wrong End of A Massive Pwnage" Award:
You have seen it before… a member posts their unsupported opinion as fact and you just watch and wait for an intelligent member to come in and fry them. This award is, as the title suggests, for the member who has been on the wrong end of a massive pwnage, or has one coming their way sooner than later.
The nominees for this award include: TechnoRobbo (figuring that karma must balance at some point), Cc4FuzzyHuggles, Skullbonz, Eli
The winner with 33% of the vote is... Minni :trophy:
Congrats! And, be on the lookout for that massive pwnage!
Next up, an award that no one would be embarrassed to win.
The Proton Award:
This one is for the member who, overall, has the most positive input to the Paint.NET forum. Whether it's through modship, Paint.NET help, organizing UBB games, valuable input in the suggestions threads, etc; this member is always there to give something back to the community.
The nominees for this award include: too many to list (which is a testament to how great our board is)
The runner-up with 20% of the vote is... Pixey
The winner with 33% of the vote is... Ego Eram Raputo :trophy:
Now for an award where just about everyone came in second.
The Big Bird Award:
This one is for the friendliest soul on the boards. Thoughts toward the vernacular aside, the winner of The Big Bird Award is someone who's always warm, friendly and fuzzy to the other members.
The nominees for this award include: Seerose, Pixey, Ego Eram Reputo, Cc4FuzzyHuggles
The runner-up with 20% of the vote is... Barbieq25
And, the winner with 53% of the vote is... HELEN :trophy:
Wow! You look great in yellow!
Next, we have an award that everyone would win, if only we knew you better.
The Howard Hughes Award:
This one goes out to the most eccentric member of the boards. Whether it's stem cell research, abortion, or what they had for lunch yesterday; this member always seems to be on the other side of a debate. Of course, this award doesn't go to just any argumentative soul, this one's for someone who does it well.
The nominees for this award include: CcFuzzyHuggles, pyrochild, Skullbonz
The runner-up with 29% of the vote is... Dug
The winner with 43% of the vote is... Minni :trophy:
Way to go!
The Radiance Award:
This award goes out to the most brilliant Paint.NET forumer. This person always has something to say, and sure enough, they're usually right. They know everything about some things, and seemingly something about everything. When someone struck you as a smart cookie, this is where you acknowledged that.
The nominees for this award include: Midora, pdnnoob, Rick Brewster, barbieq25
The runner-up with 23% of the vote is... BoltBait
And, the winner with 31% of the vote is... Ego Eram Reputo :trophy:
Keep on shining!

The nominees for this award include: Cc4FuzzyHuggles, Eli, Pratyrush, Seerose
The runner-up with 18% of the vote is... ReMake
And, the winner with 36% of the vote is... Nai :trophy:
Now, there's an award you can't win twice in a row!
The Homer Simpson Award:
This award goes out to the funniest forum member. Whether it be wit, shock value, clever writing, or some other form of humor which I'm invariably forgetting, this member is always on top of it.
The nominees for this award include: DrewDale, Ego Eram Reputo, Rick Brewster
The runner-up with 20% of the vote is... BoltBait and Skullbonz
The winner with 30% of the vote is... Scooter :trophy:
You all crack me up!
Now, for the award that no one wants to win (or do they?)
The Pauly Shore Award:
This one goes to the unfunniest member. Maybe their wit isn't witty, or their shock value is too much. Whatever the case, here's your chance to recognize someone who specifically doesn't make you laugh. Oh, sure, they try... but always seem to come up short.
The nominees for this award include: MJW, Rick Brewster, Kemaru, teh501stsnoipeh
The winner with 40% of the vote is... Skullbonz :trophy:
Better try more loller cats, guys!

The nominees for this award include: A Fleeting Glimpse, Minners71, Doughty, Dark Shock, Julio Coolio, Sasha, Oceana
