After a bit of consideration and discussion with a few others on the staff, I decided that I will go ahead and host an official FFR forum awards for 2010.
Here are the people who will be tallying up the votes.

I forgot to mention this initially to those who are tallying. Tallies will not be made public until after voting has closed. You'll keep track of them on your own in private and I'll contact you via PM for your results.
The following are the rules of voting and the general process of events. A lot is basically the same as the rules in the previous forum awards thread.
I want to make some side notes before I move on to the vote categories.
-Besides removing the categories that obviously don't apply anymore, (FFYA threads) I removed the category for best thread within the TGB forum because of the recent wipe. It'll be back in the next forum awards. Additionally I reorganized a lot of the categories so they fit into a group more appropriately.
-The "Most Missed Staff Member" is a new category this time around to remember those who helped FFR up until it went down in 2009. There's also "Most Inspiring FFR Player" since I know most of us have had someone we've looked up to in that area.
-There's a possibility that this will be the last time there will be negative categories. It's been brought up but a general consensus has not been reached. I'm keeping them this time around partially for tradition's sake and partially so we have at least one more time to have our fun regarding them.
-For the categories involving a thread, please post a link with your vote. It'll make things a lot easier to tally and organize.
-Make sure to double check who the current admins and mods are when placing votes regarding those categories. The list can be found here.
-Here's a list of the FFR files released in 2010:

FORUM
Friendliest Poster
You like this person. A lot. Too much perhaps. Maybe they were too friendly to you at one point.
Least Friendliest Poster
The bully who makes it their mission to throw you on the ground, then kick you while you're down. Then they bodyslam you for good measure. Huge jerk face. ):
Most Helpful Poster
"Altruism" is this person's middle name.
Least Helpful Poster
They may not be mean about it, but they sure don't get you from point A to point B.
Best Overall Poster
This vote goes towards the person with the most quality in their posts. They're generally always on topic and have something meaningful to say.
Worst Overall Poster
I'm thinking something like AIDS or the Black Death right now.
Funniest Poster
Genuine comedian. You may even find them funny when they aren't trying to be.
Least Funniest Poster
One of those situations where you feel embarrassed for the person.
Smartest Poster
Someone who can prove a point with excellent logic. You generally learn a lot from this person.
Stupidest Poster
I can't believe you actually think that.

Maybe they don't always play by the rules, but you can't get enough of their posts.

You learn a thing or two from them and they deserve respect.

This person joined FFR in 2010 and they could possibly be the best thing that ever happened to it.

FFR Gamewhore
Piss off, CTS. I need to AAA this file.
Most Inspiring FFR Player
Which FFR player inspired you, as an FFR player yourself, to try your best and surpass your own expectations? This person doesn't necessarily have to be amazingly skilled at playing FFR, but rather a form of encouragement that allowed you to become more proficient at the game. You may have even passed this person in skill.
Up And Coming FFRer
This person currently isn't exactly ultimate at playing FFR, but they definitely are heading in that direction.
HALL OF FAME
Each year one lucky person can be entered into the Hall of Fame. This category is reserved for those individuals who are exceptionally unique. FFR wouldn't be the same without them, and they deserve the utmost recognition for their time involved with this community. Choose wisely.

The following are the rules of voting and the general process of events. A lot is basically the same as the rules in the previous forum awards thread.
I - Your account must be at least three months old to be eligible for voting. You must have at least 100 posts if you want to place a vote for anything within the "Forum" and "Threads" categories.
II – In order for your votes to count, you must use the template provided at the bottom of this post. Just quote it and fill in your choices for each category. Feel free to leave a note regarding your vote if you want to say something about it. Just keep it concise and make the name you are voting for distinguishable.
III – You may only vote for one person in each of the categories. You must use the person's FFR username as your vote.

VI - If you try to use an alt to put in extra votes, you will be banned and any votes made by you on any of your accounts will not be counted.
