2021

A bit of lightheartedness to kick off the year, 2021 'awards':

Outstanding performance of the Year: LYC sp, 131% gain

Comedian of the Year: TemptingTrade. '$5 at end of month' 13th Dec, 'Massacre end of month', 'LYC going to melt' 21st Dec.

Prediction of the Year: Mikaj, ‘sp $10 by Christmas’ (had to give myself an award)

Comment of the Year: ‘My job is done’, Dr Looi after perceived cabinet support for PDF construction.

Most liked post of the Year: toly, 91 tu, 22nd Feb (?)

Broken record of the Year: CJ, phrase ‘DOT COM’ used 62 times; phrase ‘PE’ used 148 times.

Verbal diarrhoea Award: CJ, ~350 posts just in the past 2 months (or ~50% of my 10 year total)

With this 'award' in mind, I also want to encourage people to refrain from unnecessary bickering and spamming, the value of HC has clearly been devalued the past few months:

Posts on this forum had an average of ~500 views early in the year (as measured by number of views of single post threads), but we are down to less than 300 now.. let's bring back quality to this forum. Agree to disagree, be the better man/woman, or this time next year you will likely be left all alone to bicker on this forum.

Pink Boot Award: Shared between AL & Kam for their outstanding work(Thank you)

Highlight of the Year: ..stars aligning.. and breaking the psychologically important $10 barrier.

Surprise of the Year: Seeing visible REE at 1,000m depth..

And I'd like to end with a candidate for 'understatement of the year 2022': we have an exciting year ahead.
