Best Moderator: Graham (I assume this means actual modding, as I’d give author of the year to Jeff, but as a mod he’s a total pushover and Graham teaches me fun new ways to insult people with insults derived from the earth’s lowest forms of multicellular life)

Best Commenter (non-mods only) – throwing names out there: pdb (probably my pick), Robert, msb, Fogel, Royal Curve, acblue, Poochie, seattlebruin, abender20, Wilder, probably some others I’m missing.

Comment of the Year (non-image): I CAN HAZ FRANKLINS PENIS IN ME, OlSalty’s Lore of Owens,

Comment of the Year (images permitted): Fett Fett Fett

Comment of the Year (images permitted, non-Fett division): TBD? probably something by Vatinius, but it’s devilishly time-consuming to search through a bunch of threads for each image, especially since my bandwidth where I’m at is so bad that I can’t run MLB.tv even when it’s running at its peak, best level.

Rookie of the Year: yeah, probably not me. I’m kind of drawing a blank about rookies here. Vatinius, Attractive Nuisance, abender20 – any others? Also: no, Poochie.

Best FanPost (FanPost content only): TBD,

Best Front Page Post (Post content only): TBD

Best Thread (overall thread after post): I CAN HAZ CHEEZBURGER NIGHT

Best Beer Subthread: The one from a few weeks ago? I don’t remember all that many of them this year.

Best Baseball Subthread: TBD

Best Other Subthread: I don’t know if they’re the best of anything (maybe best meta subthreads), but I was very proud of LL for the way these three subthreads were conducted: Lookout Landing QC in February, Griffey Brings Back Old Mojo in April, and The Perils of Hope Placed in an overachieving team. I think that the first two really helped make LL more welcoming and effective at policing commenters’ misbehavior, and the third proved that we’ve made alot of strides towards being more fair and more welcoming while fully maintaining our past standards.

Best Off-the-Wall Subthread (such as the duckyou thread): Actually, this one’s a little like the Best Freak Out Thread I suggested, I now realize.

Meme of the Year: tip of the hat to Matthew for Everyone on that site is a fag. (subsequent usage here)

Because I’m nominating myself again

Also for Fanpost – I nominate Wilder’s Griffery Home Run Scooter GIF.

As for the rest, I can’t remember well enough but there are many many possibilities.

For those who post mostly at work or school and do less with the nightly gamethreads?

I don’t know how that would work out actually.

but I’m not sure what that category would be called.
