The "Well, this is certainly a topic... ;>.>" Underachievement Award
From time to time, certain topics like to appear across the forums that just make you sit there with the most perplexed expression on your face. How do you respond to it? Make fun of the OP? Provoke an argument? Ask rhetorical questions that won't get you anywhere? In any event, this is to recognize the user that consistently made topics leaving us all in shock and awe. And the nominees are...
hardcoreignitor
Having made quite a few absurd topics. Notably a couple asking about the MLP fanbase that descended into civilized chaos (as opposed to uncivilized chaos). Additionally, his explosion in a topic another user made over "cupcakemon" led to a suspension.
Kevinvert
In addition to flooding Video Gaming with a massive wave of Pokémon topics, Kevinvert gained infamy for a multitude of confusing topics asking about relatively simple concepts. This never failed to lead to shocked reactions.
Brightscales
GERARD WAY GERARD WAY GERARD WAY GERA-*ban'd*
prextail202
For her blog topics? Eh, I don't see it...
Windumup
At one point his topics elicited custom reaction images from multiple users. They were 0.0001% effective, with generous rounding.
BahamutBreaker
The obligatory representative from the Skylanders board, the only area more active than this one. The only non-comical entry on the list.
aran
Early in the year, aran topics were infamous for their... interesting content. However, stagnation in the second half of the year may end up costing this early frontrunner.
And the reader's choice Darky goes to...
hardcoreignitor! It was a tight contest, but in the end, the newest kid on the block pushed himself over the edge with an egotistical vote for himself. The first step to solving a problem is admitting you have one, buddy. Here's to your topics mellowing out next year.
And the editorial Darky goes to...
Forgotten World! Wait, that wasn't one of the nominees. A write-in vote comes out on top. Though the judges found the nominations to have a certain level of zaniness, no topics proved more polarizing in all the wrong ways than the wave of online missionary work FW unsuccessfully attempted. The committee looks forward to future studies of the effects of mixing religion and the internet.
Also, announcing some new categories!
The Saucy Wench Award (Sponsored by Rusty Pete's School of Piracy) To be awarded to the user who successfully plundered/hijacked the most topics.
The Unsung User Award Given to a user who, although not very active, makes great contributions to the forum.
The GENERIC CAFFEINATED BRAND Energy Drink Award For the most hyperactive user.

It.was.Funny.

He was 21, with the mind of an 8 year old. They never made the connection between me and the one thingamajig. Diorce.

No, I just found out the guy had a girlfriend. I decided to make it funny. I kinda felt a bit sorry for my friend's sister, but it was funny as heck when she pushed the guy into a bowl of punch.

The Thinking Man's Award
Every year, the committee likes to remind this website that the brain is the most complex, and likely important, organ in your body. It chooses to recognize this with a cosmetic award celebrating people who make thoughtful, reflective posts. Clearly, the committee was not using their collective brains when figuring out a way to pay tribute to the the brain. Now I'm just squeezing the word "brain" into this spiel as much as possible. Brain brain brain. You may now theorize that I am actually a zombie.
And the nominees are...
Samius
A perfect example of an individual whose posts are grounded in realism, based upon his experiences. He is also the only entry on this list to symbolize both ends of the thoughtfulness spectrum thanks to his infamous drunk topics.
Metallo
The few. The proud. The Metallo. This guy was an early favorite with the committee due to his attempts at sparking up thoughtful, mostly political/state of the world discussions. Most of them ended up resembling Times Square during rush hour, but he gets an A- for effort! ^.^b
King_Pika
Nominated as a shining example of how to make a "good" excuse for poor behavior that gets you suspended. What's that? The Survivor game was his idea? Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiight.
HIR
Apparently a fan favorite, this lunatic has made several escapes from the local asylum, injuring 5 cops, 2 old women, and slicing a tree in half with his pinky toe in the process. He was last seen posing as a host for a fake awards topic.
UncleBob
A sudden candidate selected for his notable use of colorful language in his peaceful discussions with fellow user BahamutBreaker. ...My editor, Mitch, has just informed me that I'm apparently not being subtle enough with these descriptions. I will be firing him after this presentation. <.<
wspyro
Highly regarded by the committee for his ability to dish out some food for thought and handle any joke that gets tossed in his direction. A proverbial forum "jack of all trades."
somePerson
His ability to trick other members with thinly veiled sarcasm or contempt is second-to-none. In this snarky generation headlined by shows like Family Guy and South Park, this is a necessary skill, albeit one that may serve to make him a few enemies down the road. Noteworthy contributions include: getting HIR to swear and establishing the "Cult of Misanthropic Topic Bumpers."
And the reader's choice Darky goes to...
Samius! With significantly more interesting experiences to base his thoughts on than the other entries, Samius is a stunning example of quiet self-reflection mixed with waxing philosophical. Did that description make no sense? Probably, I'm just throwing darts at a thesaurus at this point. Keep those mental gears turning!
And the editor's choice Darky goes to...
Project_Unnamed! Let's be honest here. How many users can you think of that have never escalated an argument on this site? There are so very few, and this guy's one of them. That's not saying he's a people pleaser. He may hold opinions different than yours. But its his curiosity and willingness to discuss the different opinions that make him interesting to talk to. And that put him above the other nominees for the editor's board. Of course, I'm about to fire Mitch, so who knows how that will change these editor's choice picks. ^.^;
