And The Winner Is.... Forum Awards 2022
Well, here we are, the part you've all been waiting for. First of all, from me to you a very big THANK YOU to everyone who took part. It has been my honour to host these awards for you and I have enjoyed doing it, mostly because so many of you got involved. I know, you're not reading this anymore, you're already scrolling down to see who won aren't you?
So without further ado, here are your winners:
1. Funniest Forum Member - @MonteCristo
2. Best Signature Line - @Star
3. Best Avatar - @John
4. Most Respected Member - @XcraigX
5. Rookie Of The Year - @DownForce
6. Most Missed Member - @kals
7. Forum Treasure - @Everso Biggyballies
8. Best Thread - ɐᴉlɐɹʇsn∀ sᴉ ʇɐɥʇ ɯnlʎsɐ lɐʇuǝɯ ǝɥʇ oʇ pǝʇɐɔᴉpǝp pɐǝɹɥʇ ǝuo ǝɥ┴
If you recall, I also asked you for some SPECIAL AWARD ideas and those are listed below. Again, thanks to all who bothered to do that.
First up we have @PTRACER . It is only one award but several people wanted you to win one, all basically on the same theme. Without you, we wouldn't have this wonderful site that we all enjoy using. So a very big thank you to you for all you do on our behalf from all of us.
With all of the others, you can see on the award what they are for. I also added in some personal ones that I felt were well deserved.

@Cheeveer nominated by theracer120
@Seibara nominated by acerogers58 and Lor Bet
@Everso Biggyballies nominated by Star
@XcraigX nominated by Star
@DownForce nominated by Star
So there we have it. Your award winners and their awards. As I said in the voting thread, some the winner was obvious from the start, others had this fascinating ebb and flow so I didn't know who was going to win until the last set of votes. Only one category was tied and that one I had to make the final call on.
Now all I can say is a big thank you again to all who took part. Congratulations to the winners and commiserations to those who didn't make it to the top this time. I'd also like to say a big thank you to my daughter @Ultra. She made the awards for me (she always has over the years) I'm sure you'll agree they were worth winning, at least I hope you will anyway.
To all the winners, please feel free to post your acceptance speeches here. Thank whoever you like and there are tissues on hand if any of you get over emotional!!
Oh and yes, I'll leave you all alone now and stop bugging you about the awards, you're very welcome!

Unaccustomed as I am to public speaking, I'd just like to say what a shock, surprise and indeed honour it is to have won Best Signature Line. Seriously, I was surprised when it got nominated, even more so to win.
So a big thank you from me to all those who nominated me and voted for me. I'd also like to thank everyone who knows me and all my family and friends and of course the entire F1 community, without whom I wouldn't be here.
I love you all

I feel obligated to say something really funny.
Instead I want to call out @White six for no doubt voting against me to give @John the best avatar award! Bruv, what have you got against fat Brummies with 'tashes?
Thanks for running the awards @Star!
