    Welcome to the results thread for the 2008 MAP Awards. Unfortunately anyone remotely famous is either trying to dance, in a jungle somewhere or thinking of ridiculous names for their offspring so you have to make do with me instead.

    I don't know what to make of these awards. Some categories were severely lacking in nominations while others had some brilliant ones. One thing is for certain though - you all will have some say during the planning for next year's awards (just so you can't blame me :Angel: ).

    Anyhoo, on with the results!

    Congratulations to you all. You should all have your shiny awards soon. Martial Dad and koyo should now both have all of the goodies of a Supporting Member as well as their awards for being our "Best MAP'ers of 2008" :)

    There is one thing left to do, and that is to give out a final award.

    As everyone will be aware, this time last year MAPer "medi" passed away. If it wasn't for this minor inconvenience, I'm sure most of the awards would have been won by medi, so its only right to do this:

    Special MAP Award: medi

    Congratulations again to everyone :D

    Definately a mis-count there. Only kidding MD, well done and well deserved just like everyone else.

    Also thanks to Anth for single handedly organising the whole headache inducing thing!

    I've also revealed the results in all of the polls so you can see how close some of them were ;)

    Congrats again to all winners (apart from Sarge, who nearly beat me! :p) :)

    If it isn't yet then it will be over the next year so you don't want to miss out on anything ;)

    Nope, I know what the plans are for MAP next year (I wrote them :p) and I know that I'll be asking more people for their opinions on things to improve the site. I also know that there's at least one new thing going into the Supporters area between now and the new year ;)

    I bet you all really just sit around discussing knitting patterns and such like! ;)

    Actually, I've been toying with the idea of joining for a while, I might actually have to do something about it now! :)

    I think the reverse is more truthful. Just to be in the same poll as you Koyo is an honour.
