Now we're into September I'm starting to think about the MAP Awards again. As you may remember, last year we had 9 awards categories that ran over 2 months with arcade awards and a special award for Medi with Global Mods, Admins and banned members being exempt from most categories. Last year was my first year running the awards (after Kinjiro Tsukasa, KickChick and Aegis had their goes at it) and there's definitely a lot that could be improved such as the length of the process (was it just me or did it drag?). It was a bit too "business like" and didn't show the true madness of this place neither. This year I'm opening it up to you for suggestions about things like categories (daft suggestions but not too daft please), when we should have the awards and pretty much everything else. We'll be keeping certain categories like Best n00b, Best MAPer and Best Mod (if only so that I'm in with a chance of winning something!) but the rest of the categories are open for discussion. So, over to you 2008 Awards announcement 2008 results Awards forum

Most obvious poster - for the person who posts and to which everyone responds 'well duh!' Best troll? Most thought provoking post?
I've just had a look at the most thanked posts and its quite surprising! Think we could be onto a winner with that category
