Welcome to the HitmanForum Awards 2024!!
Hey, all! I decided it’s been way too long since we’ve had a celebration for our own community, so I (maybe foolishly) took on the role of preparing an Awards thread for this year!
(Gosh I’ve been fairly busy with work and energy has been tough to come by lately… 
Sorry everyone!)
As is the case with all versions of these events, they’re just a way to celebrate people in the community we enjoy seeing around. No, we’re not shipping actual trophies to people… 
The Regulars of the forum put up nominations to me privately, and now I have the results to start the public vote!
You have until April 7th at 11pm ET (that’s 647 hours from the start of today… 
) to cast your vote, by which point these polls will lock, and we get to congratulate the winners!! 
I also recommend that you throw some kind words someone’s way! Even if they were nominated or not, just giving someone praise for something big or small you’ve appreciated goes a long way. 
So without further ado… Here are your categories!!:
- User of the Year
Who stands above the rest? Who do you think contributed the most, had the best energy, or truly made HMF a fun place to be all-year-round?
- Dribbleondo
- EvilGeniusRo

- Most Missed Member
The person you really liked, enjoyed discussing and seeing their posts, who no longer visits the HMF site. Maybe they moved on from this, maybe they got too busy, maybe they ran into the wrong bald-headed man. We may never know, and that always hurts the most.
