They're here, albeit a couple of days late. Ladies and gentlemen, voter turnout, much like the U.S. Elections this past November, left much to be desired... But here are the results of the poll conducted to determine the recipients of these honors for the year 2004...

Best Overall Poster
GENESIS! Narrowly beating out Katie in this category (only three votes were cast) you have been selected the best poster for the past year. Congratulations, Genesis, and may you reign for the next year justly and with much wisdom.

Most Improved Poster
SANNEN FROM BRAZIL! Congratulations! While most people thought you were an awful poster in the past, you have redeemed yourself greatly during the past year, elevating your status to "Tolerable" or maybe even "Good."

Next Big Thing
BRANDON! It has been decided that you will, indeed, be the next big poster on this message board, perhaps reaching such status as a Lori or Scott if you keep up your solid posting ways.

Most Over-Rated Poster
MIKE! Congratulations! You are nowhere near as good a poster as you, or anyone else, makes you out to be! You are delusional and sub-par.

Most Under-Rated Poster
SCOTT! While it may be true that you don't garner the recognition you ought to, you are one of the better posters on the board who deserves and warrants more attention that most posters, including our over-rated recipient.

Nicest Poster
KEVIN! BRANDON! It's a two-way tie and you two fine young gentlemen have been deemed the nicest members of this board. You're not overly mean and generally are congenial to all members. Keep up the good work.

Meanest Poster
MIKE! You're an *******! You're mean and you just might make baby Jesus cry. How could you make baby Jesus cry? You mean **************.

Coolest Poster
KATIE! It has been deemed that you are indeed the coolest poster on this message board. You're like a cucumber, and that's saying something. Congratulations on your sheer coolocity.

Funniest Poster
SKETCH! The people have voted and have decided that you and your British humor form the most consistently funny poster-age on the board. Way to be, Sketch, and please keep the material coming seeing as you won this category pretty handily.

Most Intelligent Poster
SKETCH! Everyone knows that to be very funny, you also have to be very smart and you fit both bills as you have been elected the most intelligent poster on this board. Your IQ is frightening.

Forum Dunce
WOOT! In the only sweep of the entire awards election, you have been elected the Forum Dunce! Congratulations! We would mail you an appropriate cap but are afraid you may not be able to open the package and place it on your head. But fear not, because in our minds you'll always be wearing one.

Most Creative Poster
SKETCH! You and your graphic-artistry and just general criteria have gotten you selected at the most creative poster on this forum. Perhaps you'll be a great inventor. Perhaps a writer. Perhaps a rambling bum. In any event, you'll do what you do creatively.

Forum Has-Been
CHRISTINA! Where have you gone? You once were a prominent poster but have now fallen into madness and obscurity. Shame on you. Shame!

Please Come Back:
CHRISTINA! The board still loves you and wants you to return to active posting! Where the hell are you? England's fun, but surely you've not moved there and taken up residence in a cave, have you?

Best Feud
MIKE VS KATIE! This feud spread over multiple threads and over many hundreds of posts, a bitter feud marked with blood, sweat and tears. Who was the victor in the end? That is left up to interpretation. But one thing is sure: this bloody war will go down in history as being epic.

Most Memorable Topic
2004 U.S. ELECTIONS! It was Bush vs Kerry vs a bunch of third party candidates no one but a few people knew or cared about. But it brought up many the thought-provoking post. Tempers flared, minds were captivated, and civil discourse exercised. In the end Bush won. But the question to ask is: Did it even matter?

Best Debater
MIKE! Congratulations, because you have been voted the poster with the most prowess when it comes to debating anything ranging from chocolate sauce to international politics. You might not always share a popular view, but present yours in a way that is deemed as the best, most effective.

Best Gimmick
BRIAN DESVEAUX! Your bumping of your own threads with such gems as "jagafgdfgkajfgafg" and "bumpfuckhos" has been been deemed the best gimmick among any of the board's posters. The fact that you're in the band doesn't hurt much, either.

Worst Gimmick
SANNEN'S USE OF "TEE!" It doesn't make any sense and, on the whole, is just a bother and painful to read. Why do you do it, you maniac?

Best Young Poster
SOFI! You're still barely a teenager but have been elected in a landslide to be the best among the youngest posters here on the board. If you hadn't said so, most folks here would have pegged you for someone who's at least 18. Keep it up.

Best New Poster
WOOT! After bursting onto the scene and facing a ruthless assault from a certain poster, you have solidified yourself as a regular here on the board, and one of the better ones as well, especially conidering you are new within the last year. Congratulations on this fantastic accomplishment.

Most Musical Poster
GENESIS! You're a rock and roll god and you're not even in the band. Your knowledge of not only only recorded music but also of music theory and playing instruments is unrivaled by anyone on the board. The guys want to possess your skill, and the girls want to get into your virtual rock star pants. Shred that axe.

Most Random Poster
SANNEN AND WOOT! Let's be frank, here. Most of the time no one knows what the hell it is that you're talking about, why you're talking about it, or what made you decide to start talking about it. You two are a hodge-podge of posts that often make people scratch their heads and simply go, "WTF?"

Most Helpful Poster
LOU! Why you don't wear a cape is beyond us, but you are far and away the most helpful of any of the board members. Either you're compiling old albums or DVDs of whole shows, or you're finding remote links to answer any question about anything that anyone on the board can have. You're like our version of the Yellow-pages or Green Lantern. And your assistance is appreciated by the board.
