The 2nd forum awards were once again organised by Jof. Big Thanks to all that took part and for being a good sport...

Over to Jof...

Well, the voting was reasonably leisurely, but big thanks to everyone who voted (except for the idiot with the fish obsession: you know who you are...).

The results are now in, so with no further ado, let's see who won: just so that you can have as much of a laugh as I have reading the nominations, this year I'm going to put them up in ful: be aware, these are sorted alphabetically, so you can't infer anything about how anyone voted...

And again, Tam is a two-time winner, beating everyone else comfortably. Whoever put me in there is obviously not paying attention or insane, and the naughty person who says they're all crap, just you go away and think about what you've done...

Fierce voting this year, with many of the same names featuring as last year. But the Dog takes it all the way home for a second time. Turnipfish got exactly the same number of votes as a year ago.

Until next year..
