I focked up tradition last year by starting a Geek of the Year thread, so I'll leave it up to Sux to do this year's poll, if he's not too drunk and forgets.
That said, I think there needs to be at least two categories, Geek of the Year and a second category to express love and support for those who are going through hell, such as nzoner, JerrysKids and those suffering from profound mental illnesses such as crapsman and jizzmancharge.
