Just a clarification @Aspirety! Since you’ve gone and nominated multiple things, does that mean, by the end of this thing, people are gonna vote based on the nominations? Or will you just count how many times they have been nominated and use that as the tally?
For that reason, maybe we should pick more than one or divide up the category further. For example, it could be Most Interesting Character Discussion, Most Interesting Route Discussion, and Most Interesting Off-topic Discussion.
Does April Fools count?

I gotta throw in both MŒBOYs and kfe (maybe combined?) for best in joke due in no small part for the sheer amount of podcasting time lost to hysterical laughter.

For now I absolutely want to nominate this post:
by @eptakyrios as “The Monst Interesting Post”.
Gotta think about other categories, though.

Most of what I would have picked, everyone already mentioned. Still, who could forget Yerian’s “Delicious Loli” in-joke? I nominate that for Best In-Joke.

Aspirety already nomitated many of the people and projects I wanted to, but I still will add some more.
Best Community Event
Are we counting Kazamatsuri’s Secret Santa as a Community Event? If so, then he 2015 one because the one this year hasn’t ended yet.
Best Musician
I’d like to also include @eptakyrios. The AIR transcriptions are really good.
Funniest Member
I think @LinkThinks should be here too, even if they’re not currently active.
Best New Member
I would almost fall into this category, so I don’t know if I have much of a saying here, but either way I’d like to nominate @VyseGolbez and @Khsellhu. Vyse is very friendly and, additionally, he recently started a Let’s Play topic, so that shows he has initiative. Khsell is a lovely person to have around: He can talk about almost anything and he’ll still say relevant things. He also helps a lot with Japanese translation doubts from other members.

I’d like to include @EisenKoubu here because he indirectly taught me how to write proper analysis posts. He was also really friendly and helped me feel like I was part of Kazamatsuri during my first days here, specially during the Kanon Bookclub.
Another mention in this category is @Pepe. He is an incredibly sweet guy who can make a friendly situation out of any kind of tense argument. While this would fall into the Nicest Member category, this is what helped me see how to share my opinion without making anyone angry and to make friends among this line so, in this sense, he helped me by becoming some kind of role model.
Best Lurker
@Natsume Come out of your cave and post things in the forum!
There are still more things to add. I’ll keep editing this post and we’ll see how many people I end up nominating.

Oi, I totally helped with that… -3- It was really fun to join in with! I haven’t seen it in a while though so I’m not sure how far it progressed.
I would like to nominate the secret butts thread for best in-joke and would like to see it revived. +1 for Kanon as funniest member and best girl.

Best Creative Project
K.E.Y Collaboration Manga The K.E.Y. Collaboration Manga This idea is awesome through and through. I love the concept of seeing these characters meet, and the artists attached to the project are extremely talented. I really hope this ends up happening!
Most Interesting Post
@cjlim2007 for this post regarding Harmonia. Harmonia General Discussion It completely changed the way I looked at the game.
Best Podcast
Harmonia. There was so much interesting discussion here. I had an idea of how truly nuanced Harmonia was before listening, but the podcast made me realize it was even deeper than I had previously realized. You guys are analytical whizzes.
Most Helpful Member
@Yerian really helped me fit into the community when I was first getting my sea legs and fumbling around with the forum’s interface.
Nicest Member
@Sonic112003 One of the kindest, most polite people I have ever spoken with on the internet or IRL.
@BlackHayate02 Whenever I’ve spoken with her, I genuinely feel like she takes interest in whatever conversation she might be involved with.
Best Artist
I love every artist on this site, but my favorite might actually be @Ekalina. Not only does she have a wide variety of subjects, but her unique style really brings a new perspective to Key’s colorful casts of characters.

I hate to say it, but this monster has to be the best topic/concept on the forum:

Well I’ll start by nominating members, rather than posts. I need time to dig up them posts, after all.
#Best Artist
You guys nominated all the ones I could think of, but I think @BlackHayate02 and @Ekalina also deserve to be in the running

Adding @Glenn_Irish to the running for his great Nirinsou cover

@rune_devros for still remembering to say “kaza” in chat

@Inuconandoyle for never getting out, no matter how many times I tell him to
#Most MVP Poster
@Naoki_Saten for consistently providing interesting discussion in his posts. You go, bro
Would also add in @Kaze for, despite not having much posts in terms of quantity, the quality is top-notch
#Best Girl
Abstaining because @Aspirety already nominated all the active girls on the forum…
#Best Guy
Who else, but our great leader @Aspirety! If it weren’t for him, kaza wouldn’t exist, so he gets mad props for starting this thing and pushing it to become the best dang ol’ community it can be!

Best Article
It’s seriously hard to find anything that competes with the Clannad staff interview, but I’ll be damned if I don’t try. I dug up 3 old relics: an article on the Key oekaki, one on the Clannad Kickstarter, and finally a summary the Anime Expo Fan Party. I feel these also highlight special moments for the Key fandom. Watching the Clannad KS really was a baffling experience. It’s awesome to read the first-hand experience from this Dinner party with Baba&co. I really like the explanation of the Oekaki, and that thing is still going on albeit on a smaller scale.

##Best Topic Concept
I’d like someone else’s opinion on this, but what about RLDev for Dummies? It’s not a topic I’d find useful, but there’s a lot of stuff in that topic, and it’s a really unique side of the forum.
