Hi folks,

Once again we are at that time of the year where voting opens for our annual PHPDN awards. The categories are listed (and numbered) below. Please submit your votes for whoever you feel best deserves the award. Winners will receive a special graphic to put in their signature, and the honour and adoration of millions of fans*.
* Honour and adoration of millions of fans not included.

This thread will be locked at 12:00 AM MDT (-6 GMT) on July 17, 2009 (aka: really early Friday morning). The votes will be tallied & award graphics handed out later that day.

How to vote
- Reply to this thread with a point-form list of your PHPDN member nominees. Make sure to mention which category you are nominating the member for - I'm not going to bother guessing when I tally up the votes.
- If you've already voted but want to change your vote or add a vote for another category, please edit your original post - don't add a new one.

Good luck to everyone! Without further ado, here are this year's categories:
  1. Most Helpful
  2. Best Code Snippet
  3. Most Unique Theorizer
  4. Fastest Advancing Newcomer
  5. IATM (I Am The Manual)
  6. Friendliest
  7. Funniest
  8. Most Inspirational
  9. Best Avatar
  10. Most Thorough Response
  11. Best Signature
  12. Peacemaker

Real programmers don't comment their code. If it was hard to write, it should be hard to understand.

I might come up with more relevant results, but I'm not on here a whole lot, so if you feel you've been cheated out of an award, it's just because you didn't pick a sufficiently memorable user name. :(
