Thank you so much and thank you Smithy for being an excellent host

It means a lot to know there are a lot of people here for me, Tibb is only a forum but it's been a place where I can speak freely for years and say things I don't get the chance to speak about IRL. When writing my first book, I bored a lot of you with updates and you all encouraged me to keep going and that book has changed my life for the better and so have you all which sounds very overdramatic but it's true. You are my confidants when I can't speak to someone IRL about something and you've been there for me for so many years. Thank you I love you all, I truly do.

Luke, you are a fantastic member and a deserving winner and I don't doubt that, when I plummet back to my spiritual home in the mid 30's, that you will retake your spot at the top

Thank you all again, thank you for your votes but more importantly, thank you for your words of support.

Well done king i'm so happy you won, i've already won so it's great that someone else who hasn't won, won

Literally the only person from this site that’s had any real impact on me personally, there was a time not so long ago that I felt really low and you stepped in and gave me the talk I didn’t want to have with anybody irl, I needed that and you definitely should have been higher for it

Glad you’re ok now

10pts - Dezzy - I gather there's some sort of in-thread campaign to get Dean to win this but that's all immaterial, I'd have given him my 10 anyway since he's probably the only person on this list that I talk to every day. We are now the last two relics of 2007 TiBBers (except perhaps Dia, but she may've been 2008?) and we can still shudder with the memories of Fall Out Boy albums and Little Britain boxsets. I actually quietly disagree with Dean on a lot of things, and have regarded his struggles with the admin/moderation on here with a bit of an "arms-length" distance from my part. He can be impulsive and petty and stubborn and we bicker over quite a lot of things. They're often trivial, though, and what I like the most about Dean is how determined and passionate he is about the things he cares about. I know a lot of the reasons in this game are going to mention the big "resignation/firing" but I will just say this to James: your insistence on blaming everything wrong with this forum's current status on one moderator's decision is laughably out-of-touch and just a drip in the pond of your terrible delusion. Dezzy is someone who's given a lot of time to the forum but I vote for him because he's also given a lot of time to me, someone I've laughed with about a lot on the Playstation and who's educated me on how to use Overwatch characters correctly - even if he gets me killed too often on DBD - and he just has this fine-tuned sense of humour that I *get* and enjoy. He also has a soft side that's happy to give out ample advice whenever I'm struggling with something personal and I value him greatly as a friend.
9pts - Black Dagger - Lucas... Lucas is someone who I've obviously been vocal about in my love of, in the past. Our trips have been documented in the very nadirs of TiBB's "Holidays from Hell". I've had a lot of friendships come and go on here as people move on and I seem superglued into the Premier League prediction game or something idfk... but Lucas is one I feel can probably be a lifelong friend. Someone who at the age of 43, I'll read about in the papers for chinning someone at Bingo for stealing his WKD Irn Bru, and have to bail him out. We don't talk as frequently as we used to, and I'm terrible at giving romantic advice especially when it's to someone who wears their heart on their sleeve so vividly as Lucas... but that's why I love him and find him a scream. I don't want people to think I don't care about them, and I know I do a terrible job of that on here because I'm aloof and snooty and would rather fire back a putdown than write something heartfelt and supportive, but I hope you can forgive that Lucas
8pts - Sullen Girl - I don't think I've ever given Scott this many points but I guess the dregs are really draining! Scott is the person who most visibly cares about my reviews so naturally I must return the favour with points, but come to think about it he only really posts in there demanding some random with 78 album sales to get a mention and then never reacts to the actual review I don't know where to start with the history of TiBB jokes we have... Leh leh leh, the Deana GIF (thanks Reece <3), the decorated horse, the Azealia Banks GIF, trying to get mrlecturer pregnant... I'll remember Scott in 45 years when I'm choking on my own blood from a punctured lung when I'm crushed by the falling Fiona Apple vinyl collection I'll have. x
7pts - Babayaro. - I find Marc annoying to be honest but I throw seven points at him in the hope he'll evolve into someone that makes sense one day. I do have a brother called Mark so maybe that's why I like him. I cringe every time I open Skype (which is only like once every 3 months now tbh) and find he's been typing like Nicky91 sporadically since I last logged in, but it's a talent and he's good at it. He likes his karaoke and his gaybaiting as well. Good to have hobbies I guess.
6pts - Firewire - I wrote above that Dezzy was a 2007 Original but so is young Jonathan! I think! Whenever I think of Letitia Dean - and that is often - Jonathan is the first connecting thought and he's an icon. A show runner to the stars. He has that gift of recognising true British iconography and it's an eye that's hard to gain. I value him enormously.
5pts - Mokka - We have a fractured history on this site that I don't really know how to explain but I do know that it's all immaterial and that Mokka is someone whose posts I enjoy and has a whole range of similar interests to me. She's funny, she's smart, she's sensible and she has taste. My kinda lady.
4pts - Smithy - Would I have voted for you if you weren't the host and my inactive friends had somehow made it? Well no obviously not, but you're here now and you've made it. Well done. You're on thin ice though, those frequent thirst traps on Twitter and the curiouscat questions are getting a bit repetitive aren't they luvvie! But yes you're a skinny legend and you've a great sense of humour, and you fought the good fight in getting Gags her Oscar. Ain't it hard keeping it so hardcore?
3pts - Hayden - Hayden is now a TiBB institution and someone whose efforts into the weird and wonderful history of Big Brother, Drag Race and music haven't gone unnoticed. The video edits are obviously exemplary but I vote Hayden for our occasional wall-posts, the mutual favourites from the shows I've already mentioned, and for being a great poster.
2pts - SherzyK - I don't really know anything about SherzyK but what's ML all about if it's not for giving points to people who deserve it but you don't know why? I don't even know their bloody gender. What am I doing? The Dead by Daylight thread is my main reason for allocating these points, because that game is hell and anyone who enjoys it in spite of all its flaws is a person to be admired for their courage. Plus Sherzy just seems a nice, fun person.
1pt - Kate! - I sneak Kate into my list because even though it's only been like 2 weeks since her return, the place is noticeably more active and chatty and ameliorated. She just has that knack for getting conversations going and sparking energy in the forum, and this place has missed people like that for a good few years now. <3

Extra points (???): Mitchell, Daniel-X, Vicky, Toy Soldier and Braden

Thanks for running this Smithy. You did a better job than I thought you would. *cutaway to what i thought would be a fifteen hour epic of countdowns interspersed between hour-long videos of the Gaga super bowl halftime show*

An absolute delight, one of the few genuinely hilarious forum members, whilst a the same time being an incredible friend, the forum wouldn’t be the same without our Ant

One of the most hilarious people on TIBB. He always makes me laugh.

One of the funniest people on this forum without even trying, his posts crack me up on a daily. He's been there for me numerous times and I probably trust him above anyone on here. Needs to stop getting bloody banned though I miss him when he goes on his forced tibb holibobs.

Forum furniture Ant gets a lot of undeserved flack on here but imo he’s one of my favourite members and that month when he was banned a while ago was really, really ****. There was nobody to tell us stories about their mother painting the toilet at one o’clock in the morning or how he threw a snail at someone in a fight and if that’s not why you come on TiBB then you, my love, need to sort your priorities out.

Ant is hilarious. Sometimes has me crying laughing.

Ant is an ICON

probs my first friend on here the first person I spoken to and it was during the Isabelle to win campaign plus we share a love for feet/trainers and I cackle at his stories though some are very far fetched

I know some of these but if anyone wants to come forward I'll pay £5 into their paypal?
