While I like the idea, here's the problem. It's over a full year. There are SOOOO many posters, how is anyone going to keep track?
Do you go for consistency over the year, or vote on pure gold? There are people that focus more on one board than another. What if the funniest poster normally posts in the CPHL? Will they get the award they deserve?
Is it a joke award? Yeah. But I'll be dammed if I get cheated out of any award, especially the joke ones!
Seriously, I think it'd be a cool idea to nominate people over the course of the rest of December, then give out the awards in the beginning of January.
