| Fancy another award, eh? Well, get in line... ...oh, go on, then.  The Art Academy Award for Avatar of the Year (11 votes)Bronze Medal- Spoiler:
Silver Medal- Spoiler:
And the winner is...- Spoiler:
=Jimbob's shoes (two votes) "It hasn't changed and that's how I like it." =JayMoyles's Neku (two votes) "I've always enjoyed Jay's little running man, and always been confused that it doesn't actually represent what the lad looks like." =CrumpyAndy's jar (two votes) "Changed it himself to further the joke. What a trooper!"
I say, I say, I say- Spoiler:
Some might say there was no clear winner - I prefer to think of it as three equally brilliant winners, and a neat mixture of new and old. One third of an award is winging its way to you, CrumpyJimJay! On a sidenote, slightly sad for Drunka - if the two votes for him had been amalgamated, I'd have been typing "One quarter DIGRESSION ALERT: Impulse of an award is winging its way to you, CrumpyJimJaylilly!" instead.

| O_R's the Link's Awakening raccoon! Although I wouldn't have known who GJones was.
Something of a shame, but we don't get many avatar changes around these parts. Of the top three, I'd definitely go for Crumpy - not only did he play along gamely with the joke we all foisted upon him, but it's a different avvy to the one he had last year. But I didn't, so bleah. |

| I'm playing the long, consistent game. PrismZ, this one is for you, avatar creator. (Andy probably should have won outright.  ) |

| I don't care what anyone says, I'm chalking this up as my first win of the year Honestly, I thought the fact that I change so much would keep me out of the runnings on this one. Well deserved winners in the top spots. Excellent Star Trek digressions from our forum captain, as well. |

| A signature is unique, isn't it? They represent us: a stamp of our approval on what has just taken place. Our GNamer sigs are the same. Less preamble, more award! The Dr. Kawashima Award for Signature of the Year (10 votes)Bronze Medal- Spoiler:
Silver Medal- Spoiler:
=Dead Lemon (one vote)What would Captain Black do?"A question we all ask ourselves from time to time. Also, a memory of brilliant magazines that are no more.  " --- =The_Jaster (one vote) - Drunkalilly wrote:

"Moo Moo Meadows!" --- =Jimbob (one vote)If you want to visit my Tumblr - The best bits are the Pretentious Indie Videogame Workshop - and TheBeebFiles - the BBC Micro GIF archive--- =Rum Rapture (one vote)Twitter | Backloggery 5th funniest forumite, NGamer Forum Awards 2008 6th funniest forumite, NGamer Forum Awards 2009 Dishonourable mention, NGamer Forum Awards 2012 President of GNamer, 2014 "Because you have to side with the President. *salutes*"
And the winner is...- Spoiler:
=The Cappuccino Kid (two votes)JOHN WAYNE'S AN ARSEHOLE"I do enjoy the puns of the Balls Man, and it amuses me no end that Jas now has a quote of mine for a signature, but I've never quite worked out what John Wayne did and I don't think I want to. Its too funny." "Always makes me chortle, and I'm never really sure why." --- =Drunkalilly (two votes) - JayMoyles wrote:

I say, I say, I say- Spoiler:
Another widespread vote here, another three-way tie, and another blend of classic and modern. This makes me happy. However, I have now ruined the mystery of Cappa's sig by typing it into Google. I won't share my findings... but I will urge you not to follow suit!

| ...You can't say that and not give us a hint! Is it horrifying? A good few siggies. My favourite out of the top two is Drunka's - again, it's products of 2015. But I opted for DL's, so  . |

| Some top choices so far in the awards & I have to thank mandlecreed for even sending me the screen cap of "moo moo meadows" so I could use it, also I thought everyone knew why John Wayne's an arsehole? |

And I should have guessed, to be honest. |

| Thanks to the two people that voted for my actual feet!
Hope that doesn't make you feel too weird.
On a serious, but sappy, note - I think it's really nice that a lot of these are spread out amongst many people. |

| Handing out the forum awards is going to be slow going this year - thanks for your patience.  I'll try to do two a day where possible. Today there can be only one, which is... The Box Boy! Award for New Forumite of the Year (10 votes)Bronze Medal- Spoiler:
Dead Lemon (two votes) "In a year where five new joiners have >100 posts, this was a tough one. I decided it using a complex mathematical formula, taking into account post count, event participation, what Nintendo consoles they have, and whether they've sold/are selling their Wii U or not. And the answer was 42! Er, I mean DL." "This was genuinely tough. We've had three prominent newbies this year who've all been amazing forumites (and have stuck around... always a plus) and I really struggled with this. In the end, I decided on Dead Lemon. Sure, technically, he's not new - he was one of NGamer's mainstays back on the Old Place, but it was such a nice surprise to see him turn up again here at the start of last year. He came back and immediately got stuck in, posting tons. He may have missed the rescue boats fleeing the Ol' Ship NGamer, but I'm glad he's here now."
Silver Medal- Spoiler:
And the winner is...- Spoiler:
=gjones (three votes) "Not just because he's said nice things about stuff I wrote, but also because he always adds something interesting or amusing to a conversation. Plus, he isn't the dickhead who broke my Xbox controller that the rest of you are voting for. Yes you did." "A former reader of the magazine who found us and decided to join. And he's a brilliant contributor, too! If only I could have done that in a hip-hop style as a proper tribute to him..." =Muss (three votes) "Toss up between him & DL but Muss is more new, plus thinking about how nobody invited DL back makes us feel bad. Pleased to meet him." "May not be as regular as some other posters but when he does they're always top quality!"
Given Some Love- Spoiler:
=OrangeRakoon (one vote) =Urban_StarFox (one vote)
I say, I say, I say- Spoiler:
A really close-run vote, which was fitting, not least because I myself had trouble separating these fine forumites. Thoughtful, thought-provoking contributors and experienced gamers all - with the possible exception of Urban_StarFox - so long may they enjoy their time with the good ship GNamer!

| We've had a really good showing of new posters this year, haven't we? (Just a shame only one of the prominent newbies both has a Wii U and hasn't talked about selling it...) Also, who's the "japester" who voted for an alt account with two posts rather than a proper new forumite? |

|  Also well done gjones and OrangeRakoon, who both always have something interesting to add when they get involved. I didn't realise DL was new to this forum, but he too tends to add some top stuff. |

| I struggled to decide where my vote was going in this category, and I think that's a credit to the influx of quality newbies we've had this year. Top stuff to all. |

| Am I right in saying DL was on the ol' NGamer Forum and just dragged his heels a bit about moving across? I know I also didn't realise he was actually new... |
