| I've now accepted all the votes I expected to receive... and then some! Thank you all to those who took the time, but for any that may still be thinking about it: you've got 'til midnight.  I'm hoping to have the first result up late tomorrow night, with subsequent updates as frequently as possible. |

| Here we go, folks! The first results post. I'm hoping to have one new result posted per day, with the possible exception of next Thursday: Contributor of the YearBronze Medal: - Spoiler:
 masofdas (Two votes)"... for tirelessly producing a lot of threads, notably the monthly releases.""Mas came here in the beginning, and has furiously supported this place throughout. Even going so far as to post videos of the upcoming gaming releases on a monthly basis for our perusal. Plus: any extra love for SEGA blue skies and a certain Hedgehog on a predominantly Nintendo-biased forum is always welcome."
Silver Medal:- Spoiler:
 The Cappuccino Kid (Four votes)"...for his sterling work in finding bargains.""Not only does he often bring the useful news, posts and bargains, he seems like he's on the forum for more than just his own posts. (Do snack reviews count as 'contributions'?)"
Gold Medal- Spoiler:
 Balladeer (A whopping seven votes)"...he seems to keep the place ticking.""4500 posts, and some of them are okay, I guess. 
Nah, but really, he does a lot for this place (music threads, co-hosting Admintendo, posting EVERYWHERE) and I'd like to thank him for it with a vote here.""Balladeer has been like a machine in this regard, keeping many threads afloat and helping generate discussion. So, him.""...he's always there, always posting. None of that constant news nonsense either.""The man's word count must be obscene...but it's all good stuff. Thoughtful and considered.""This took much though, but in the end I decided to be diplomatic and give it to the second best admin (I should google ‘diplomatic’). Besides it’s not like he isn’t deserving of it- he has more posts than anyone and his avatar is absolutely stunning.""Say what you will about the lad, but he's stuck doggedly to his music thread week in, week out. Even though I never remember to reply or join in, I enjoy it and I'm always glad its there."
Honourable mentions:- Spoiler:
 JayMoyles (One vote)"Always has topics that looks to get the whole community involved."
I says:- Spoiler:
Watching the votes come in for this was like spectating at a horse race. TCK and Balla were neck and neck for a while, TCK pulled into the lead, and right at the end Balla stormed over the finish line and into the champagne reception. Everyone who commented had nothing but good to say, and I doff my cap to the lot o' ye.

This site really is a good bunch, though. |

| Personally I won't be saying who I voted for on this one, when it comes to people who we actually know I'd feel like I was brownie point grabbing by telling them. |

This forum's actually just four people - the other 80 odd accounts are all mine. |

| I didn't vote (boo, we hate you Rum, you're bringing this forum down!) because I've been here so sporadically that when I looked at the categories I genuinely had no idea who or what to vote for. This thread has reminded me about the time I was voted joint 7th funniest forumite, though, so I'll always have that. Did you, Mr Forum Contributor? No.
I vote Rum to win all the remaining categories. |

| Did not see that coming. Thanks chaps! No arguments about the other votes either (apart from another Sega fan around these parts being a good thing ): three major forum contributors up there. - Rum Rapture wrote:

| Aye, no arguments from me with the recipients of the last category. Well done Balla and all. Onto the next category: Most-Missed Forumite, in Memory of Venom_uk* * I would've displayed Venom's avatar here, but it would seem that CVG has purged its forum of old accounts.Bronze Medals: (Four-way tie!)- Spoiler:
 SuperPaperLink (One vote) (No comment provided)
- Spoiler:
 PhoenixAsh (One vote) (No comment provided)
- Spoiler:
 Fancy Fancy (One vote) "I really hope he’s doing okay."
- Spoiler:
 Reggie Fils-Aime (One vote)"Where are you Reggie? You've been gone for so long! Was your body not ready for GNamer?"
Silver Medal:- Spoiler:
 Vidofnir (Three votes)"Whereas most of the newbies realised that they couldn't hack participating in proper conversation and sodded back off to Twitter, one man stayed behind, started the well-received Nuzlocke thread, and generally seemed to be quite happy to participate in a higher level of discussion. And then he vanished.  " "Out of the new guys that joined up I thought for sure this guy would be sticking around, seemed to fit in really well with the regulars as well.""...what the blooming heck happened to him? Came along set up the Nuzlocke and Fire Emblem challenges and then one day just disappeared."
Gold Medals: (Tie!)- Spoiler:
 awesomedude (Four votes)"awesomedude was just too awesome for this forum.""Sad.""This guy was just so cool. I want to be a Brunei when I grow up!""Because she was awesome, and her frequent run-ins with various forumites were always unintentional gold. She wasn't a parody account, was she? I don't think she was.  "
- Spoiler:
 nupkin (Four votes)"I Gave Balladeer Contributor of the Year , so I can annoy him.""At the risk of winding up Balla, it has to be nupkin. I met her, dammit!""Nupkin, solely to get on Balla's nerves.""Why did we get lumped with Balladeer? Bloody hell, there is no justice..."
I says:- Spoiler:
awesomedude was robbed of sole first place!  But seriously, ever since Balladeer sealed his own fate by bringing her name up at the start of voting, we all knew this one was going to go to nupkin. You'd think she'd at least have the decency to continue her obligation to this forum. I'm sure it wouldn't be awkward at all. We all know that Fancy Fancy is alive and well, thank goodness. He does pop back occasionally. Reggie is too busy at Nintendo to make it here these days. SuperPaperLink was here for a while; PhoenixAsh signed up but never actually posted here at all. As for Vidofnir, I was wondering if it would be sporting to send him a friendly email to see how he is. Let me know what you reckon.

| Twats, the lot of yes! Nah, I'm joking. I predicted this one. I mean, you are all twats, but I expected you to be twats. Didn't think the Monster Raving Brunei Party representative would make it, but there you are! I really do unironically miss Vido.  |

| I find it ironic that only 2.5 of the winners were serious ones.  I'm counting nupkin partially there too, because one voter lamented that they'd actually met her. EDIT: I believe Balla mentioned nupkin in the pending Awards thread in the Community forum... |
