I know I'm replying to my own comment, but I just wanted to have fun, accept another award, (:P) and also to break up the negative thread down below. Gull didn't realize he was tied, and neither did Webz, I guess.

My view on these awards is the same as Mikey's, and mostly I just had fun with it. If I'd won nothing, I'd feel the same as I do now, having won 2 awards. Gid and I had a FANTASTIC time coming up with our skit and sharing it with all of you, and also watching all of the other presenters skits play out. Btw, thank you VERY MUCH for waiting for me for the Awards Ceremony. I chauffeur people to church and back, so my delay couldn't be helped.

As a final comment, please try to accept these awards in the spirit they were intended:

1. To boost awareness of many peoples' hard work here,

2. To have fun with the voting,

3. Preparing a skit, if you were a presenter, (I've never written a skit before, and it was a blast! :D )

4. And enjoying the actual ceremony, which imo was AWESOME!

5. Congratulating the presenters and the winners of these awards during the ceremony,

And, most importantly, imo,

6. To congratulate Webly for all of his amazingly hard work in putting this all together!

Perhaps we can offer suggestions on how to do this better next time, or, if there was too much negativity as a result of the awards, perhaps not hold them again. Some folks feel that the Featured's do a much better job for their lack of bias and open-ended nominations potential. I completely agree, and there don't seem to be any negative feelings as a result. However, we wouldn't have been able to see those amazing skits without the Wiki Awards. Each solution has its drawbacks.
