Okay, voting time!

We were just talking about this in the Lounge too.

Thank you to all the regulars that put the lists together. 

I appreciate being included. 

I've only been here a couple of months but it's nice to know that people notice you when you don't think that people do.

Don't forget to vote!!

I think this is the first time I've been included lol I;m excited!

Same but I'm newer than you are.
But thank you for my nomination and for the thread nomination that I post in

Results, please?

I can't wait to see who won lol

Is there a reveal date?

Miz only said he'd post the results in January, I dont know if he mentioned a specific date

Sorry for the wait, this was the best turnout so far and a lot of fun. I have to say it was especially fun to read what people wrote next to their votes as to why they were voting for this person. I'll share some of them as I post the winners.
There were a lot of votes to go through, like I said a little over 80.
I've read, and re-read through everything and finally came up with your winners.

Within each category I will list as follows....3rd place, 2nd place and then your winner voted by you. I will also start with the last category and move up from there listing the most popular 

Now without further distractions I give you:

THE 2023 BEST OF THE SPACEHEY FORUMS WINNERS

Best forum for entertainment: 3rd place: Friends Forum
2nd place: Parties & Nightlife Forum
WINNER: GENERAL FORUM

Best Vacation Someone Took and Shared Play by Play action:

3rd place: Eamon (Hot Rod Power Tour)
2nd Place: Presley's (Greece trip)
Winner: Reece to Hershey Park and to meet his (now) girlfriend 
People thought it was cute that Reece attempted to bring her flowers on his last day there, but she wasn't there so he left them on her doorstep, and after he left she told him she was right down the street getting an oil change.

Most Devoted Player In a Forum Game: 

Everyone unanimously said the same 3 names when it came to the forum games, it was only a matter of counting each name to find a winner

3rd place: Heartbeats
2nd Place: Cranky Old Witch
WINNER: Christina

People love how the 3 old them stick with the game and bring the girls to victory every time.
What people want to know is how many wins do the women have now?

Best Forum Moment:

3rd place: People thought the Kat & Katey fight to friendship was funny, because they started out so mad at each other and then worked it out and both apologized and became friends after. 

2nd place: The post off contest in the Something Else thread. To see who can post the most consecutive days in a row. I believe ASH ended up being the winner with a little over a month

WINNER of best forum moment: Again a lot of people picked Steve ranting about the thieves at his job. Although he claims these days that he's stopped worrying about it and won't yell to them to please die, we don't believe him and think that he'll be back to enforce all corruption in his store soon enough. lol  

Best One hit wonders (They've only made one thread but it's a fun thread):

3rd place: Hisui (ESCAPE HALLOWEEN THREAD) in Parties & Nightlife. Not an exciting thread but at the time had only 1 post and people were trying to make the thread move down in the forum so their thread would move up. So a group started to post there to try to destroy the thread.

2nd place: Jeff(Interuption thread) Parties & Nightlife

WINNER: Landon (Song Titles Thread) Parties & Nightlife

Best Thread Creator:

3rd Place: Miz (Gender Wars) Thank you all

2nd Place: Vape Geoff (Lounge) A lot of people who voted said they don't post there but with it being the first conversation thread in the forum and with that many posts it should win

WINNER: 2nd year in a row KOM Even though he's not around that much anymore, based on the number of his threads (Last Person to Post Wins, Change the Word, Answer a Question with a Question, Actions Only, Alphabet Game) and how popular they still are.

Best Duos in the forum: 

3rd place: Reece & Squeege (The Closers)
2nd Place: Celina & Cesar (The first Basement Couch thread)

WINNER: Becks & Koala. (The Lounge) Everyone remembered their drunk posting nights and Koala trying to get Becks to not buy anything off of Amazon. But Becks wouldn't listen and then when she looked back the next day at what she bought they had a good laugh about it.

Gone but not forgotten posters (Posters who have disappeared but people still ask about them or talk about them):

3rd Place: Frankie (Something else thread) Frankenstein picture
2nd Place: Hoover (The Drunken Clam)
WINNER: Chloe
The majority of votes were for Chloe. Someone had said in the forum that they spoke to her on Discord at the end of the summer and said she was thinking about returning to Spacehey but that was 6 months ago. 
 

Best Profile Pic of Partial Face:

3rd Place: Jeff
2nd Place: Cranky Old Witch
WINNER: Limabean (From her nose down) or as some wrote in "LIPS"

Best Profile Pic not of the user:

3rd Place: Total Drama Profiles
2nd Place: Duck
WINNER: URlocalPossum because the poster drew the pic from characters they made up. Quite a few people thought that was most original.

3rd Place: "It's Jeff!....Did I mention this was Jeff?" Jeff from Something Else thread
2nd Place: "Good Morning Spacehey Friends and Internet Strangers" Landon from Something Else Thread
WINNER: "Morning Humanoids" Steve Something Else Thread.

Best Profile Pic w/a Serious Face:

2nd Place - Presley

WINNER: Becks (Many people added nice comments with their posts including: Not to embarrass her but I wanted to share some of the things people added.
"The kind of person you're going to meet and will never forget" "One of the nicest people here", "A friend to all, a foe to none.", "Always there to listen to problems or complaints and give advice", "She's like the Mom of the forum" "The Queen of the Lounge"  "She's friendly to me and I believe she actually likes me, which is hard to believe because everyone else in the forum can't stand me."


Friendliest Forum Poster (MALE)

3rd Place: Reece (Something Else Thread, Closers thread) Always funny and friendly to new people. He was really nice and helped out when I was new here.

2nd Place: Steve (Something Else Thread) Steve is the kind of guy that will talk to everyone. Really friendly guy in a quiet kind of way.

WINNER: Eamon (Lounge, Game threads, Closers Thread, Drunken Clam Thread) Some people wrote, again, not to embarrass him but I thought the things were nice to post.

Eamon is an all around nice guy. He talks to everyone. Will ask the new people, "What brings you to the forum?" 
"He always tries to keep the peace and tries to defuse forum drama before it starts by talking things out."  "He's a level headed nice guy" "Friendly guy who knows a lot about cars" lol

That's it guys. These are your 2023 BEST OF THE SPACEHEY FORUM WINNERS.

_______________________________________________________________________________

Remember...myself and a handful of people put the lists together but YOU are the ones that voted for your favorites. People are watching and notice the good, fun people that make up the forums. 

So now I want to make this thread for Nominations. Throughout the year people can point out fun things that have happened in the forums or fun new people or funny comments that people have said or something funny that happened and address it in this thread. 
When making your post, list the Thread that the potential nomination is in and all people involved. 

Even if it's something within your thread or a thread that you post in, point it out. It will make the 2024 nominations easier to find for people. 
Thanks again for all the help and everyone who voted. This is always a lot of fun.

Woo. I won stuff!

Thanks for the inclusion & votes, Humanoids

Just one little  thing... The job is the 'shit-show', my city is the 'shit-hole'. lol

For consideration for the 2024 Ballot Under Best forum moment category.

I'd like to nominate Macey. (Cranky Old Witch) She does a humorous history lesson with each number in the Let's Count to 2025 before New Years Eve 2024 thread. Definitely worth a read. LOL

For Consideration for the 2024 SH Best of Forums,

I would like to nominate Larkin from the Lounge thread as a Cool New Person in 2024.

He's funny and friendly to everyone.

Noted! Thank you for the input and keep the nominations coming

In the category for best line or catchphrase I’d like to nominate my girl Marla with her line

Wait…..wut?

LOL TY Pres.

For your consideration Please add Marmot from the Lounge thread as a Cool New Person on the  2024 ballot.

She's a lot of fun too.

Also for Consideration for Best Forum moment of 2024 From the Lounge thread.
Larkin not believing that Steve has never heard the Song DO RE MI from the Sound of Music before. Steve Swears that he's never heard before. 
It's a really funny story, Larkin uses Videos and Lyrics and sing-a-longs to try and jolt Steve's memory. It's from Monday February 12th.  LOL

For consideration on the 2024 Ballot please put Dino under the category funniest Male poster. 

For consideration I would like to suggest a new category

Best return of a poster and add Elizabeth (Beth) to it

She had returned and had been posting in the lounge and clam and it’s good to see her again.

To add to that Best Return of a Spacehey poster I'd like to nominate KAT from the old Dgens thread, she is now posting in Something else thread.

I don't remember if there was a section about new forum topics, but Kathrine and Macy/Cranky Old Witch has a few new cool ones! I'd like to nominate her for new cool forum topics!
