    I’ve been pondering this for a while. What if at the end of every year as sort of a recap and in honor and recognition of our most profound Advocates, there was an award ceremony of sorts?

    Examples would be; Most Reviews, Most added Beers, Most added Photos, Best NBW Participation, Best Tasting Thread Participation, Most Thread Contribution, Most Completed Trades, etc.

    I think this would be a fun exercise in recognizing the most distinguished contributors as well as provide a bit of fun for us during the year in regards to those of us who aspire to be top contributors in regards to one or all of the given categories, whatever we determine them to be.

    One humble advocates thoughts, Cheers.

    On first thought, I enjoy the idea, but let's not go after number of reviews. I think it could produce, or encourage, some junk reviewing.

    We used to do an unofficial "BA of the Year" thread, where folks would give a shout-out to the BAs, they thought added the most to the site. Apparently no one has bothered to post one in a few years.

    If you are up to that then let’s toss out some more category ideas and get this going.

    In fairness to us, the last BA Of The Year was @jesskidden , and how do you follow that man? I mean, he should hold the title forever, far as I'm concerned (though he'd surely disagree).

    The 'Thread Of The Year' Award used to be done, although I don't recall that there was ever a final decision and consensus winner. It was just fun to read back thru the nominations and be entertained. I don't think this has been done for a couple of years.

    You are surely correct. Whatever the BA version of retiring a number is, JK deserves it.

    Are we saying the BA Member of the Year award is titled the @jesskidden award? I support that.

    I hope not. Ya know the number 42 is retired all across MLB for Jackie Robinson? We need to figure out something for JK. He stands alone as a BA.
