It's understandable if I don't win Best Newcomer. At least I was a nominee and at least I think I'll win Most Likely to be Online.

Since I'm stupid (again), how do you vote?
(Leave me alone, :'( :'( :'( :'()
3 methods (2 are easy but 1 is guaranteed to work)
1. Use discord and PM him
2. Use GTM and PM him
3. Type a letter of everyone who you think deserves each award, with detailed reasons why (each person should have about 1 paragraph dedicated to why they deserve the award) and then mail it to him with overnight shipping, and then you wait until he sends you a letter back saying “cool beans” works every time

It is a chat app developed originally for gamers. Nowadays, it has become an effective and popular chat program

Re-edited: Most of the results are plausible, and the ones that aren't are understandably either IRL or 2016-18 focused.

Results like these are why Hall of Fames usually have closed voting pools. The system becomes dumb when contributors like Serge (RA2CF, probably other coding achievements), MikeNCR (innovated late 2000s-early 2010s DSL play), and Psyclone (good stock builder when that was all we had) can't make it in but people with far-less of a legacy can get 4+ votes for being new. But it's my voting system so I can't blame anyone but myself.

Overall, gj Hop, you ran everything went smoothly and you were able to finish this last-minute when nobody stepped up.

Hall of Fames are meaningless, and awards shouldn’t be taken too seriously. You know what you contribute, and that doesn’t change no matter how much validation others give you.
