Anyone else realize that someone as high up as the founder that's willing to bow-out should definitely get it?? =D

@:

I'll take up two spots on that list.
*bricked*

I was going to go for Adam, for creating sucha site like theO. . . but otherwise I'd go with SunfallE [Beth], like what Sangome said. She deals with all the graphic submissions and plagiarism. She's done alot for this site so I think she deserves this. =]

Well, it's a tie for me. . .I want to vote for my Triplet(Shin), but I want to vote for my adopted mum/aunt(Gome). . .>_<

@:

I'd say the hardest part would be in talking to/about . . . y'know, "notoriously fascinating" members. Ones still on the site, have done some seriously dumb/brutal things, but are still on the site. It'd just be poor taste to publicly crap on people still snoopin' around.

@:

Someone should do a "Top Ten Most Fascinating Otaku of 2008", kinda like what Barbara Walters does with people. The person who does this could rank the people, interview them, etc. I think it'd be neat.

Should I get a free night of not working or cleaning or eating dinner back in Smallville, BC . . . I might need to take you up on this idea.

Unless someone else does it first. In which case that is also awesome and I would point large arrows at it everywhere I could on the front page.

That's a toughie...

My natural inclination would be to say Adam for getting Version Vibrant online and running it most successfully through this year.

But there's also SomeGuy for dealing with all the fanword submissions, especially now that he has a real job and is even busier than before.

I guess I'll give my official vote to Adam.

I will also throw my vote Adam's way. We give the poor guy a ton of grief, but he has worked hard as hell to make the site as good as it is.

I would have to go with Beth, for exactly the same reasons Timber said(weird).

I vote for Adam, because he created all of this.

DON'T MAKE ME CHOOOOOOOSE. (Well, you're not making me. But still.)

As conflicted as I am, I totally give props to Adam for pulling out V.V., endlessly annoying entertaining us with cupcakes, dealing with the hackers recently, and causing explosions of fun all around (we wouldn't have Day of Our Chat without him, would we?).

If not Adam, I'd say SomeGuy goes through a heck of a lot. He deserves it also, reading all the fanfictions, doing the caption battle and (mostly) getting the podcast up. And he's one hell of an entertaining guy.

EDIT: Since Adam says he doesn't want it, my vote goes to SomeGuy.

Adam all the way. It's not every year that the founder of a major site decides to launch a new version, and then continue tweaking it for months while listening to the users thoughts and concerns. Not only that, but he managed to stay positive through all the problems he faced, including the recent annoying fiends that keep bombarding the site. Adam deserves this. ^.^

Someguy, definatly.

Contsantly dealing with Rishi in chat, publishing Rishi's constant submissions to the fanword community ((although not many people read them...)) Definatly SomeGuy. The dude is amazing.

~Rishi, teh genki girl~

I vote Someguy for not only heading up the Writers Bloc, but also reading EVERY fanword submitted, writing caption battles, and working on his own blog on top of a full time job.

I vote for the the podcast team because every week they take time from there lives and make us a podcast at no cost to us.

I vote for Adam becoming Otaku of the year!
Otherwise, I nominate Somegirl :D
Jae's amazing creativity and overall personality. Tis awesome :]
