• Hero of Good: You. I know I'm painting outside of the box here, but let's throw in a cliche: "be the change you want to see"!
• Golden Feather: o_e_l_e_o stands out with his contributions and knowledge on Bitcoin.
• Bitcointalk Ninja: PowerGlove has contributed a lot to the forum by creating long-overdue patches. And that's even without implementing all his patches.
• Bitcoin Geek: gmaxwell He doesn't post that much, but when he does, it's spot-on.
• Event of the Year: Farewell, by o_e_l_e_o. I know I'm "cheating", because this happened after 2023, but it has a bigger impact on the forum than anything that happened in 2023. Most of the time things I read online don't get to me, this did. You will be missed.
• Fail of the Year: Ratimov's unnecessary drama in which he completely destroyed the reputation and posts he worked so hard for. It looks like his ego couldn't handle a small dent, and he went to extremes.
• Discovery of the Year:
• Best SpamBuster: nutildah, for his fight against AI spam bots. The unlimited amount of spam can destroy online communities for humans.
• Best ScamBuster: I'm not following the scam-accusations much.
• Craft Master: icopress (OP!). Despite being in a war-torn country, you manage to run several signature campaigns, take care of campaign members when a campaign closes by moving them into another campaign, and still manage to run the Bitcointalk Community Awards.
• AntiHero:
• Miss Bitcointalk: Foxpup. Who else

I may or may not add more details later. I kept postponing this because I'm still feeling ill, but the deadline is closing in.

Hey icopress

The right ticker for "Bangla" language is "BAN" (not "BEN"). The people are called "Bengali" and the language we speak is called "Bangla". Hope this clears the confusion.

Cheers,
DS

• Fail of the Year: Edwardard

Question: what did I miss with respect to Edwardard failing so majorly that you'd vote for him in that most ignominious category?  I recall some sort of discussion of him--or at least a mention somewhere in some thread--but I'll be damned if I can remember any drama or him biting the dust.

Absolute Hero of Good: o_e_l_e_o, LoyceV, The Sceptical Chymist
SpamBuster: The Sceptical Chymist, GazetaBitcoin

Just when I thought I'd been ignored completely, master FoxP swoops in and gives me a boost.  I'm sending a big sloppy kiss your way.

He defaulted a loan he took from Shasan.

(Once again, the voting deadline snuck up on me... I didn't put as much thought into these nominations as I would've liked, but at least I made it in time this year! Please don't be offended by inevitable omissions: besides the 3-names-per-category limit, there are a great deal more members that I admire/respect than I was able to remember/rate in the little time that I left myself to vote.)

Golden Feather: LoyceV, DdmrDdmr, and The Sceptical Chymist.
Bitcointalk Ninja: TryNinja, suchmoon, and bitmover.
Bitcoin Geek: o_e_l_e_o (man you'll be missed), ABCbits, and NotATether.
Discovery of the Year: joker_josue (for launching and maintaining TalkImg).
SpamBuster: nutildah, lovesmayfamilis, and light_warrior (RIP).
Craft Master: icopress, jayce, and Hhampuz.
Miss Bitcointalk: suchmoon, mk4, and Foxpup.

Word to the bird.  I couldn't think of who to vote for in the other categories, so I'll just let my votes stand as they are.

Edited to fix my major boo-boo in misspelling my master's name, and thanks to BlackHatCoiner for pointing this out to me.  My humble apologies, Foxpup.  You may whip me silly now.
