Thank you everyone for the support. =)
Well, even though I was one of the organisers and vote-counters of the awards, to win a few categories, especially ‘Best Member’ took me by surprise, to say the least. I wanted to make these awards so you guys could recognise each other, so I’m a little embarrassed, as the organiser to win, eheh. I don’t consider myself worthy of that title, and there are other people, in fact, every other finalist in that category of Best Member would have deserved to win that award moreso than me, IMO. But thank you. I feel very honoured.
To anyone who nominated or voted for me - thanks! I really appreciate it. To be recognised and rewarded for doing something you love is a good feeling, albeit a weird one. Because to spend time here, a lot of time here, communicating and having fun with you guys to me is the reward in itself. And to anyone who voted me as the member they’d want to meet in person, I’ve taken down your names, so expect to hear from me when I travel abroad.
A big “thank you” goes out to anyone who gave feedback for these awards, anyone who nominated and/or voted, gave tips on how to run it better or what we could change for next time… all of that means that you are enthusiastic about this event and your support really means a lot. But my biggest thank you of all would have to go out one of the moderators, fellow Pixar Planet addict, as well as a good friend, The Star Swordsman. Without his help to discuss ideas and work out exactly how to do this thing, as well as taking the time to count votes, and to deal with my bossy perfectionist streak, it would have been twice as stressful and not even half as fun. It was a pleasure, so thank you! =)
Congratulations to all the nominees and winners for 2008! You must be doing something right, so be proud of yourself and your achievements and for making Pixar Planet the best community forum around. Keep it up!
Phew. Now, I’m gonna go lie down…
