Good afternoon, and welcome dear TST-ers to the annual Member Awards ceremony.
Firstly, a big thank you to everyone who voted in either, or both, of the nomination rounds. I'm very aware that it's much easier to cast a vote when a handful of options are laid out in front of you rather than having to trawl through the forum for inspiration. This year saw the most votes cast since I've been running the awards, which was great to see, and has given a much more accurate result of the collective opinion of the forum membership. This has also meant that I've been able to announce 1st, 2nd, and sometimes 3rd placings for each category.
So, without further ado, here are your winners!

Now before you start moaning you were nominated for the biggest moaner, get too srs for being nominated for the most srs member or your ostensibly serious topic got voted for the funniest, please note that all the awards are, and have always been, completely tongue-in-cheek and just a bit of closed-season fun!
Congratulations to all winners, runners-up and nominees in general. I'll be sending out shiny new 2021 winners' signatures to all those in first-place for each category via forum PM. Thanks to everyone once again for taking part!
If you enjoyed this closed-season forum activity, do keep an eye out over the next couple of weeks for a brand new forum game which will be hosted by myself in the Courtyard Tavern section of the forum!
