[Community] Aelyrian Awards 2016: The Winners!

Indefinite · December 21, 2016, 02:16 AM


	The Winners! First off, thank you to everybody who voted and participated this year. Aelyria only exists because of its community, so thank you to all of you for taking the time and contributing what you do to the site. With any luck, I hope that you'll all be around again to vote in next year's awards. We had a higher turnout for the Awards than last year and I'm happy that people seemed to like the new Google Forms format we used - it definitely made tallying up the end result a lot easier as well. Holy cow there were pie graphs and everything, it was great. Quite a few categories were very close and wound up being decided by only a single vote! We had some strong nominees this year, and no matter what, you're all awesome. Now then, congratulations to the winners, enjoy the shiny new badges when they're handed out, and here's to another year of Aelyria! And happy holidays, everybody! Oh, and I guess this is a mini-update: the dropdown menus at the very top have been fixed so that the "new player" section now shows up appropriately under "Help." Previously, this was only happening for the Everwood skin theme. Didn't seem important enough to warrant its own news article, so, here you go!

Badges should have gone out! As a reminder (besides Best Title), I hand out badges to all participants of a thread that won an award
