I hate to say it, but this monster has to be the best topic/concept on the forum:
Well Iāll 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
#Best Musician
Adding @Glenn_Irish to the running for his great Nirinsou cover
#Most Helpful Member
@cjlim2007 who Iāve been watching from the sidelines
#Most Informed Member
@s0ewhat for always posting reliable news (even though he sometimes posts them while Iām in the middle of writing an article lol)
#Best Lurker
@Necem will forever be best lurker in my eyes~
#Best Taste
@therationalpi as his santa last year, and considering his requests, I concede best taste award to him
#Nicest Member
Was gonna nominate Tamo but Aspi beat me to it soā¦ Iāll go with @EisenKoubu
#Best New Member
Also to @BlackHayate02
#Best Absent Member
@Angeā
Okay I shouldnāt continue that nomination
@rune_devros for still remembering to say ākazaā in chat
#Funniest Member
@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 forumā¦
#Best Guy
Who else, but our great leader @Aspirety! If it werenāt for him, kaza wouldnāt exist, so he gets mad props for starting this thing and pushing it to become the best dang olā community it can be!
Oh my I am honored. I apologize for the fact I had posted before your articles haha.
Itās no problem I just get pressured while writing, thinking that I was being too slow haha
Thanks Papa! Hopefully Iāll be able to get the charlotte ED up soon as wellā¦ Iām having a really hard time with the strings and Carlos officially backed out today so I contacted someone else for the guitar haha.
Hehe, bad puns rule the world! But seriously, thanks.
Best Article
Itās seriously hard to find anything that competes with the Clannad staff interview, but Iāll be damned if I donāt 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. Itās 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
Iād like someone elseās opinion on this, but what about RLDev for Dummies? Itās not a topic Iād find useful, but thereās a lot of stuff in that topic, and itās a really unique side of the forum.
Oh gosh
I canāt tell how happy I was when I was reading that. I really appreciate it so much. Youāre a really great friend and Iām glad you find me as a polite person. I was raised to be respectful and kind to others so that speaks for itself. Thank you very much!
I wanna start moving into voting soon, so please everyone get your nominations in soon!
Iāve updated the OP with the current nominees, and I removed some categories that didnāt seem to be working well.
I got another nomination for Best Topic Concept, something that was created a few days ago but that already looks quite promising:
https://forum.kazamatsuri.org/t/try-to-anger-as-many-key-fans-as-possible-in-one-sentence/3513
Since itās technically still created in 2016, I think it should be elligible for an award.
Oh yeah, Iād like to nominate @Pepe as best taste. Anyone who has Kotori as one of the best girls and loves Kyou route has taste :))
Iād also like to nominate @Naoki_Saten for funniest member, but mostly for those 30-second summaries he did for some podcasts. XD
@Sonic112003 You deserve to win Nicest Member!! You are an extremely nice person and I havenāt known you long, but you are very kind to me and have a very beautiful personality as a human being!! Letās go @Sonic112003!!
Thank you so much, @Ecstasy. I really do feel very excited to hear you say that. Youāre very welcome! I really appreciate it. I try to do my best when listening to others and want to help as much as I can. I like to encourage people to do their best. Itās part of who I am as an individual.
Iāll be closing nominations on Sunday, so last chance to get them in! If we donāt any more nominations for Funniest Post then Iāll have to remove that category.
Funniest Member
I would like to nominate @Inuconandoyle for the funniest member. Heās really good when it comes to bad puns and I enjoy his sense of humor. Also, heās my first best buddy I made since I came here on Kazamatsuri. Heās a very special friend to me so thatās why I appreciate his efforts to make me laugh at times.
Best Musician
I would like to nominate @SuikaShoujo for best musician. She has this really great voice of hers and the way that she sings is very beautiful. I really admired her talent.
Best Taste
I like to nominate @Bizkitdoh for having best taste. Heās really cool and he knows what interesting games are out there and expresses his love for them. He has even cool lines he expresses from time to time and theyāre just amazing! The game music he presents on Discord when showing his favorite Youtube videos were very spectacular to listen to.
Best New Member
I like to nominate @Khsellhu for best new member. Heās really an interesting person I met for the time that I got to know him. Heās funny, cool, and has a great sense of humor when it comes to things that he enjoys the most. In particularly, his love for Rewrite plus with his hard work and effort doing TL work for the scripts heās made. I really enjoy his company and heās a very good friend of mine.
Best Artist
I like to nominate @BlackHayate02 for best artist. Sheās really inspiring when it comes to her drawings and they look amazing no matter how much time and effort she puts into it. The sketches that she creates for any Key character has been impressive to me.
Thatās pretty much about it from here. I thought long and hard on this one. It wasnāt easy for me but I did the best that I could from this point.
You want funniest posts, eh? Well let me dig some up~ I know you said nothing too mean, but I hope you donāt mind if I shake things up a bit
(also aspi you need to add yourself in the best guy category! :P)
I think Aspi photoshops fits better as Best Meme.
Remember the time when Kotarou rewrote himself to become a Smash character. That was really funny.
