Hm, I'd said last year that the votes were getting narrower as compared to the year before that, but even that didn't prepare me for this year's awards, which had many shakeups, entrants, and was overall a rather tense contest. In the wake of its conclusion, I give my congratulations to all the winners, runner-ups, and participants! A lot of close calls, and there might have been a record number of eligible members for Appreciated this year which shows the camaraderie of the GoF.
I would like to express my sincere gratitude for the votes! I actually didn't expect to be eligible for multiple categories, and will try to keep things up!

I'd gladly opt for the Littlefoot banner for Friendly Member:
