Award Winners 2019

[Mumbling]

With the conclusion of the appreciated member voting, the 2019 Forum Awards have officially come to an end. We would like to thank all of you who have participated in the awards and who have made the forum a better place with your presence.  We had more people participating than last year, so many thanks for casting your votes!

The winners are now authorized to pick the award banners from the draft thread and add it to their signatures and also as a post to this topic so that the runner up in each category knows when it is their turn to pick a banner. Runner ups may take their pick after the winners (runners up will need to pick a different draft from the winner but they do not need to mark their award in any way as a runner up).

And here are our winners:

Fanart Award
Winner:  Flathead770
(No Runner Up)

Feedback Award
Winner:  Sovereign
Runner Up:  Anagnos

Friendly Member Award
Winner:  Rhombus
Runner Up:  StardustSoldier

Proactive Award
Winner:  Mumbling
(No Runner Up)

Role Play Gamer Award
Winner:  Nick22
Runner Up:  Rhombus

Appreciated Member Award
Winner:  The Lone Dragon
Runner Up:  ImpracticalDino

We would like to congratulate all of our winners and runner ups, and to thank everyone for making the Gang of Five the great community that it is! 

Oh, and two more things before I go!

• If you joined in the year 2016, please also find the joining award in this topic.
• If you have been a Patreon supporter over at least 6 months of the past year, you are also allowed to add one of the supporter banners to your signature.

Just bumping this topic now that it has been taken out of the mysterious admin area.

Thanks Rhombus

And thanks everyone for the votes for Proactive member! I've chosen the Dinah/Dana banner for my signature 

[The Lone Dragon]

Thanks for the votes guys and well done everyone. I'll take the Littlefoot and his mother banner.

Thank you, everyone, for the votes, and congratulations to all of the winners!  I will take the Friendly Member banner that has Cera being tackled by Dinah and Dana. I will decide on my runner-up banner for the Roleplay Award once Nick makes his selection.

[ImpracticalDino]

Congratulations to all of the winners and runner ups!

Thank you everyone that voted me for the Appreciated Member Award. I really appreciate it! Phew, I honestly didn’t expect to get that many votes! This was such a close one.

Shoutout to Mumbling for giving me that single vote in the first round of voting. Without it, obviously I wouldn’t have qualified for the Appreciated Member Award. Thank you for that.

With The Lone Dragon choosing his banner already, I’ll make my pick now. I’ll choose the one with Littlefoot and the tiny Longneck.

[Flathead770]

Thanks everyone for all the fanart votes! I'll try to continue to work to keep the fanart section active!

I'm clearly going to take the amazing one of Strut!

[Sovereign]

I'm really happy for winning this award again and I can't overstate my gratefulness to everyone who voted for me. I'll try to keep up doing the reviews even if it seems that I'll have to work harder than ever to win this award again next year. In any case, that's a thing of the future and for now, thanks again and congratulations to all the other winners!

Also, I'll pick this banner.

[Anagnos]

I would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone who voted for me. I really appreciate it! Congratulations to others as well! Since Sovereign has picked his, I will now choose.

I will pick this banner.

[StardustSoldier]

As others have expressed, my gratitude to everyone who voted for me. It means a lot to feel welcomed by this wonderful community. I will pick this as my banner:

Congratulations!!!

A well-deserved congratulations to all the winners!

I was there to witness last year's voting (though not eligible to vote) and I think things were tighter this year. This year produced quite the varied set of awardees that is definitely going to shake up some previously safe/incumbent places in future... I myself was caught by surprise by the three new active entrants who joined this year (you know who you are) who all walked away with runner-up placements in voting. If this trend continues, well... next years awards are gonna be something to look forward to.
