Congrat's to this year's Member Awards, and thanks to Oranr for resurrecting it!

[Joshray]

Hey onrar, great job in organizing and preparing the member awards. However, I believe the polls were rigged (especially the Off-topic poster of the year)... I've noticed 45ED gained about 9 votes within the last half hour before the poll closed. Yao416 also received about 5 votes within that half hour. The problem with these polls is you don't even need a second IP address to keep voting for yourself. You just need to create another account using a different e-mail address.

The winners are:

Favourite Deal Poster - tynanwong

Favourite Freebie Posters - BobSagget & howwon (it was a tie, both win!)

Favourite Contest Poster - Vilmark (got it right this time Vilmark!)

Most Helpful thread - WildParadise's Touchpad thread

Most helpful/knowledgeable user - aasoror

Congratulations to all the winners for 2011

Hello,

Are you still counting the ballots for 'Moderator of the Year' ?

We are all still eagerly waiting the results.

Did you have to do a re-count of the ballots for this particular title? Is that why it is still not announced?

I was looking at the traffic during the last hour and it spiked with users. Some users waited to the last minute to vote with that being said, I do agree there may have been some shenanigans going on. Even if I made the vote public (which I should have done) there was nothing preventing users from creating new accounts and voting. I will look into a new way of doing next year!

I do have a list of the voters and will be gong through to see if I can find any newly created accounts.

I know how much you guys are sitting on edge waiting for the winner. Truth is, I haven't started the poll yet. Unfortunately, it will be an internal vote only and when I do have a winner, you will all be informed.

Sooooooo if you are re-checking the legitimacy of all voters, are you saying the results of the winners are pending?!

So it is still possible Yao416 may be declared the Winner?

And the plot thickens...

More like the number of votes Yao lost by would be even greater.

Thanks to those who voted for me in the Freebie section. TBH, I didn't even realize there was a vote or that I was even in the running until Oranr PM'd me saying Howwon and I both won.

Thanks again

Congratulations. Now where is the exclusive list of secret freebies that you promised me.

[yao416]

No one is hating on you. Laugh out loud at your signature

Internet serious business.

I think it's best if the votes counts are closed until you have voted. I was late to the poll and I was gonna vote for MrPerfect, but since it was a clear race between Yao and 45ED, I made my choice between those two instead. TBH, neither choices have much content in their OT posts: Yao with his usual "pics?", "low content", and pupazzo-clone posts, and I don't remember the last time 45ED had an OT post worth reading. And now they're just racking up post-counts with back-and-forth bickering.

45ED: yay, you won, congrats (I voted for you), but the whole thing was for fun. Let it go already.

[JK400]

Yeah, 45ED you gotta take a chill pill and calm down a little, you're taking this a little too seriously. I made a few posts in OT a week or so back and 45ED was basically hounding me in every post/thread I made there, getting all excited over nothing. You're making indirect attacks on other people in your signature and other threads you've made/posted in over an award which is basically worthless, aside from any make-believe value you are personally attaching to it. I would suggest finding some non-RFD related activities to pre-occupy all that free time you have, it would help you bring reality into perspective a little better.

Quoted for truth

SMH at his signatures lately. What a sore winner. He needs to venture out of his basement for something other than a pizzapocket from mom's fridge.

Yeah, I know he claims to be a woman on here but you can be whatever you want on the interwebz.

I agree !

Give it a rest, champ.

If you really want to play it fair, both of you would be disqualified as I'm sure both parties had people creating accounts for them. So in a perfect world neither of you would have won, so quit being a sore loser/sore winner. It really makes the both of you look pathetic if an internet poll means so much to either of you...there's A LOT more to life. I'm sure I'm not the only person to realize this (this isn't a personal attack on either of you).

[yao416]

Don't get me into this. Laughing out loud. If I made accounts, why I didn't I make like 100 account and just win the troll award
