While both of the candidates would deserve this award, my vote goes to Fyn16. His instrumental role in bringing the Fanfiction contest to life is a major achievement but that's only one of his merits. In addition to that, his active and constructive contributions to the beginning roleplay, thoughtful and well-composed posts in the After Midnight section as well as his overall contributions to the GoF earn him my vote.  :)

I vote vonboy. His posts are constructive and friendly and I see him in all sorts of different parts of the forum, always with a chipper attitude and a helpful demeanor.

My vote goes to Hypnobrai. Since I've been back I feel like he has been one of the biggest contributors to any form of LBT discussion on the forum, either by digging old ones up or starting new ones. The kinda sorta maybe official LBT channel on Youtube was also a pretty nice find to add to it as well.

Wow, a three-way tie? Looks like my vote will have to break that...

My vote here will go to Fyn16, mostly because he worked alongside Rhombus for the fanfiction prompt challenges that resulted in far more fanfictions being written than we've seen in recent years. I've already voted Rhombus for the Proactive award for this effort, and Fyn deserves just as much credit, so that's why my vote for Appreciated Member will go to him.

I think I'm going to have to vote for Fyn16 as well. It's a tough decision between the three, but Fyn has done a lot of work with Rhombus organizing things to enrich the GoF community. My vote goes to him this year :smile

This is indeed a tough choice as all of the candidates have made excellent contributions to the forum.  However, due to his tireless efforts with the fanfiction prompt challenge, his excellent contributions to the fandom in fanfictions, and his friendly interactions with other forum members my vote has to go for Fyn16.

Oh yeah, just so you know, you have to state your reasoning as to why he gets your vote, in at least a sentence or two :)

I'm not LBT90321. I've been telling the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth. I was asking Rhombus to forgive me for not following the rules for voting for Fyn16.

Suppose I might as well drop my vote in.

I'll vote for Hypnobrai. Fyn may have helped with the fanfiction challenge but Hypno has been reviving whole sections of the forum with his positive energy and dedication. Besides, he takes a lot of effort in keeping the LBT wiki clean and nice which, considering people like L&AT doing all sorts of mischief there, is a formidable task that I appreciate a lot despite not actually using the wiki much. :p

I'm voting for HYPOBRAi for his efforts to keep the forum active, particularly, the fanfiction section.
