Gather around Ladies and Gentlemen, after much await, the 2016 AG User and Thread Awards are here. This year I, Sir Legendary, will be hosting this user event.
The Rules:
1. You may vote for one person or thread per award. If you post twice, only your final post will count, though it would be far better to post only once.
2. Vote on only the categories you can answer. If you can't think of a User or Thread for an award, don't put anything down. It would be better to give awards to people who were chosen by people who truly believed them worthy.
3. Copy and paste the sections when you cast a vote in a response. Do not just post "I think (user) is the best user." Post "User of the Year: (User)"
4. You cannot vote for yourself. This should be obvious but I'm stating it anyway.
For the official record, no actual quests are being distributed (unless you can convince Gantic, MrDayCee or Ferret otherwise, but that probably won't work, so please do not bother them about it), but several users have been happy with just displaying them in their About section.
Ultimately this is for fun, and for recognizing people that have done something exceptional (or horrifying).

And maybe another thread for the best happenings in AG, in 2016?
