KarateForums.com Awards 2012: Winners Revealed!

[Patrick]

Hello,

Thank you for visiting KarateForums.com.

After a month and a half of nominating and voting, the KarateForums.com Awards 2012 have come to their conclusion. It is now time for us to announce the winners.

Before I do so, I wanted to once again congratulate everyone who was nominated. Being nominated, in and of itself, is a beautiful thing and should be recognized. If you did not win or were not nominated, please do not take it personally. These awards do have meaning, but they are also for fun and not everyone can win or be nominated. Please join me in congratulating our winners.

I would also like to pass along a huge thank you to everyone who participated in the process by nominating and voting. You are vital to this event. You, the community, selected the nominees and decided the winners.

Without further ado, here they are:

1. Member of the Year: MasterPain

2. New Member of the Year: DoctorQui

3. Community Spirit Award: bushido_man96

4. Staff Member of the Year: sensei8

5. Funniest Member of the Year: MasterPain

6. Article of the Year: (tie) Personal Safety and the 5 Stages of Violent Crime by ninjanurse and Martial Arts: Forever in One's Life by sensei8

Congratulations to MasterPain, DoctorQui, Brian (bushido_man96), Bob (sensei8) and Heidi (ninjanurse)!

In addition, I would like also like to congratulate Brian on being the first KarateForums.com member to be honored 10 times through the KarateForums.com Awards and Bob on being the second member to reach 5 awards (now with 6).
