Oh, and we ate bacon, too.
All this doesn't even begin to cover everything that's gone on within the reddit community, which has more than doubled in the last year. Our team has only grown from 4 to a mighty 6.5, so we can't catch all the goings on. Fortunately, there's bestof.reddit for that.
But the start of a new year is a time for reflection. Flyryan, an avid redditor and excellent Vegas party host, suggested we have Best of '08 Awards. They'd be like People's Choice Awards only with less suck and only slightly less relevant. Winners will get a gold* reddit alien.
Submit and vote in the following categories. Winners will be chosen from the comment (nominee) with the highest score at noon Eastern on January 16th:
- Best comment
- Best commenter
- Best submission
- Best submitter
- Best reddit
- Best meme
- Worst meme
- Best troll (this had better not be the same person as "best commenter")
*Not real gold, or even gold-plated -- bobbleheads are a more sound investment, anyway.
