Otaku Awards III
Most Improved Member of the Year: Dan (Shroom)
Honorable Mention: SaiyanPrincessX
There isn't too much to say about this, really. When Dan was under his "Cyko" name, I always saw him as a "n00b" of sorts. I can't remember if it was related to post quality or what the content of his posts actually said. Either way, I know that I somehow formed this viewpoint.
However, since changing his name to Shroom, Dan seemed to become more noticeable. I'm sure that a large reason for that was his more frequent posting in the gaming areas and his vigorous entrance into the "OB chats". All of those things combined tended to give me a better impression of him as a member. And as a result, I think he deserves this award -- for making himself noticeable because of his higher quality posting, rather than anything else.
And SaiyanPrincessX...well, I do remember a time when her post quality was lacking. And generally, over 2003, she seems to have improved greatly. I just found that I noticed her posts more and more often, and found them noteable for their improvement.
Other members deserve this award too. Vicky is one that comes to mind.
Thread of the Year: The Shy One
Honorable Mention: Care Bears: Quest for Care-a-Lot (Rated G for intense cuteness)
Although there were many, many threads that came close for this honor...I felt that these two stood out for me. The Shy One was just plain cool for various reasons (more Shy is always a good thing for us rabid fans, isn't it?)
And Sara's RPG...well, she bucked the trend of poorly-written "adult" RPGs. I almost feel guilty for making Kill Adam, because it kind of became the catalyst for a lot of really poor stuff (although some members really did write some pretty fantastic "adult" RPGs). In any case, Sara's decision to go against the grain is something that stands out for me. It definitely brought a smile to my face.
