Don your sparkly frocks, grab a bottle of Da Lucaaaaa and charge your glasses - itâs time for the TS Awards results!
Firstly, thank you to all who took the time to vote. I hope it was a bit easier to work out your nominations this year, and Iâm always open to suggestions for future improvements. As well as the categories that you voted for in the Google Form, we are also introducing some âTS Contributorâ awards based on the forum stats of 2022, but more about that later.
Itâs worth noting for any forum newbies that all awards are given out with tongues firmly placed in cheeks, so congratulations to you if you have won, but donât get too above your station. On a similar note, if you win one of the less desirable awards, donât take it personally, this is all just a bit of fun! Iâll be announcing the winners and runners-up for each category, with the winners being set to receive a shiny new forum signature in the new year.
And with all that out the way, letâs beginâŚ

Weâve scoured TSTâs 2022 statistics and thought weâd honour some of the more impressive results with a special award.
Most Posts Made in 2022
1st - @Matt N
2nd - @Skyscraper
Itâs of little surprise that Matt N has come out on top, with a staggering 2805 posts made up to 29th December! Thatâs an average of over 7.5 posts per day, and Iâd be interested to see a total word count, but think my mind would implode. Skyscraper wasnât too far behind either with 2541. Honourable mention to @rob666 who was the only other member to grace the 2000 posts mark - over 700 posts more than 4th place.
Most Reactions Received in 2022
1st - @rob666
2nd - @Matt N
Itâs all very well posting quantity, but quality is what really matters. With 5661 reactions received, rob666âs posts certainly meet the criteria.
Most Reports Created in 2022
1st - @Skyscraper
2nd - @Thameslink Rail
And for those few posts that fail to live up to our member expectations, we do like to know about them. Skyscraper wins the Teacherâs Pet award ( ) for submitting 137 reports to the team, nearly 100 more than 2nd place - being Thameslink Rail who submitted 48 reports.*
*This is very much a sarcastic award. We appreciate every report thatâs made as it helps us to moderate the forum effectively, so thank you to all who help out in this way.
Grim Reaper 2022
1st - @Dipper_Dave
2nd - @Thameslink Rail
Celebrity Deaths, kindly ran by @Jonathan, can be quite a lively topic, and wouldnât be much good without members of the forum announcing said deaths. Dipper_Dave wins the Grim Reaper award for announcing 35 celeb deaths this year, followed by Thameslink with 13. Another honourable mention to @rob666 for being the only other member to grace double digits, with 10.
Once again, thank you all so much for taking part, and do let me know if youâd like to see any changes to the TS Awards season going forwards.
