Introducing: Planet Lotus Blogger of the Year Awards.
The polls are open! - http://planetlotus.org/my/awards/
The premis is simply, vote for your favorite blog/blogger of 2008. The winner will be announced at BALD in Orlando and tweeted to the world. Prize yet to be determined.
I would like to start this first year off simple, one winner. Maybe next year it will expand to different categories, more collaboration on this in 2009.
This year, thanks to Nathan, there might also be MTV like categories, from our bleedyellow IM chat..."Best Lotus Meme, Best Single Post, Best Technical Post, Best Skewering of a Competitor, Best Flame War". This will come in the following days/weeks, hopfully in time for last minute voting.
Good luck and Happy New Year!

I nominate MYSELF for “Best PlanetLotus Exploit” for the infamous “a moose once bit my sister” hack!

Yancy,
A few things:
1) It seems I am able to vote as many times as I want.
2) The link, after logging in goes to a blank page. Clicking on awards gets me the list.
3) Some people are listed twice(Chris Miller and Stuart mcintyre come to mind)

@Keith,
1), yes, you can vote until you’re big blue in the face, but only your last vote counts.
, I’ll fix that.
2) I have to look into that.
3) those that you listed have two blogs, i think Stuart has 18
@Trutle, yeah, that was a lot of fun, however the hack acted as a partial denial of services attack on the count of the load combined with a process intensive search, in-turn slowing down the site for everyone, so not so fun.

I think it would be also fun to see categories for “Best Commentroversy Post”, “Best Comment”, “The Most Commented Post”, “Person who should have their own blog because they comment so much on others”, etc. This way we can include folks that are regular commenters but don’t have their own blogs.

I’m in a grumpy mood at the moment, so I’ll propose:
“ASW of the Year” (‘nough said)
and
“Bootlick’n Good” Award for the Blogger who fawned the most?
