I'm a dork and originally labeled this the "2008 Dungeon Runners Awards" when it should actually be for 2007 :P I decided to just leave it the way it is. It's a good thing I don't program bank software, right?

A big THANK YOU goes out to everyone who participated, and a big GRATZ goes out everyone who won. We had some REALLY close calls and managed to land up with one tie!

Winners will receive:

A forum title of their choice (just send me a PM!)
Unlimited bragging rights
The self-satisfaction that comes along with being a true WINNER
Mucho, mucho love from the Dungeon Runners team

Funniest Poster
Teclis

Not only has Teclis blessed us with his wonderful Mr. T avatar (it's hypnotizing) he's also managed to charm the community with comments such as this:

"Oh I know, but you brought it to us here at DR and I "poo-poo'd" you with a post reply and now I surely have the egg on my face - so this is my way of making up for it. May the karma flow freely, lol."

Indeed it shall flow, Teclis....

Ripper_McGee

Ripper has been with us since 12/20/06, (now that's not a typo!) so we're talking old school here. Awwww yeah. He even to drove down to the PlayNC Meet-N-Greet here in Austin, TX, where he had fun hanging out at the DR "kiddie table" with two beer drinkin' mischiefs in particular. Let's just call those two....Mark and Stephen.

It goes without saying, really: Ripper has always been a tremendous help around here, and that is truly noticed and appreciated. Thank you for all of your hard work, Ripper!

Best forum comment EVER
“Welcome to hell, here's your Pitchfork of Fireproof Taint”

Quite a few forum comments were submitted, but very few received multiple entries - like this one here

Whackiest forum comment
PvP Forums

Yes, the whole section. There are simply so many whacky comments in there so the whole forum section won! PvP tends to bring out some, shall we say, "interesting" sides in people.

Favorite Dev person
Anson and Stephen

We have the one and only TIE!

Between these two, I was wondering who would prevail over the other...the answer is neither of them. They both may not like it, but that's just how it goes

Favorite PvPer
Stephen

Perhaps its the smack talk, or maybe it's just his mad skillz...grats Stephen on winning in two categories!

Favorite Fansite Manager
LegendRunner

Okay, so this one was a no-brainer; we all knew LegendRunner would win this one. But it takes a lot of work to manage something like this, and he deserved to be recognized. He's just that good. The Dungeon Runners wiki, located at http://www.thetownstons.com, has helped SO many. Without LegendRunner, where would we be? We'd be wandering around aimless, dazed and confused...that's where we'd be.

(Btw, I threw out the votes for me because the category was for fansites only...) But even with votes for me tallied in LR *still* won by a huge margin, as he should have!

Favorite Forum Avatar dude/dudette
Asheda

Winning by a *huge* margin, Asheda's avatars have always provided plenty of good laughs. The variety, the creativity...it's all there. Thank you Asheda for making the boards a little more fun for us all.

Favorite Old Schooler
JoeB1978

With a whopping 1220 posts under his name, everyone knows Joe! Thanks for kicking it old school, Joe. You're good enough, you're smart enough...and gosh darn it. People like you.

Favorite Old Schooler Honorable Mention
Mama_Anarchia
Although it wasn't a tie, Mama came *really* close in 2nd.

Favorite Dungeon Runners Bug
King's Coin Sally

This one barely squeaked by, but I can see why people loved this one. Once upon a time, Sally decided to go a little haywire on us. Well, let's just leave it at that.

Favorite Dungeon Runners Feature

Believe it or not, most of the votes overall involved grouping. More specifically, the "go to group" feature is what got the most votes.

Thanks again for voting, and until next time!

Wow.. my personal list looks pretty much like this one
Thanks to the people that voted for me, I really appriciate that people care about it. I am proud to be the owner of TheTownstons.com, and I will promise more intresting things will come. My thoughts went to The Townstons Tournament (PvP), and more services like the newly added Mythic Database.

Now.. I need some time to think of a suiting title.. hmmm...

Owh yes and ehh..

Thanks all! It's very cool to win the award for most helpful! In regards to the Austin meet-n-greet, technically, I flew in (and boy were my arms tired, ba da bum ching!) and rented a car .

Congrats to the other winners, too, especially Stephen for Favorite PVPer. If it wasn't for him, I wouldn't have any wins!
