Oh nice! Thanks to anyone who voted.

It's so strange for me to think I've been on these boards over 11 years now. Although my engagement and contributions have been sporadic over those years I really feel like I've gotten a lot out of my time here. So my only point to make is to anyone who is considering starting a diary, who isn't sure if it'll be any good, or if anyone will read, or if it will last... I think I've had diaries that tick those boxes, but I've also had diaries that ticked none of them! Regardless though I've always enjoyed it and would always recommend getting involved with this community. 

[Pipers Pit]

Wow.  That's all I can say.  Thank you very very much for this honor and I don't use the word lightly.  This board and its writers have entertained and inspired me to do these projects over the years.  The biggest thank you is to my partner in crime, @Kimberly.  She's my muse, my sounding board and often the person who keeps me sane when I come up with a crazy idea.  Thank you all.

[Kimberly]

Not sure if I'm allowed to speak in here, but @Pipers Pit is so freaking deserving of this award. He works so hard on his diaries (like obsessively hard lol) and I am so proud to see that he has this honor. It means the world to him and thank you to everyone that voted for him! Congratulations!!!!!

The voting was very tight at the top, not to mention across the board. As for a breakdown in votes... After doing it only once, having a huge drama of people kicking off because of how many they got compared to how many they thought they should... NEVER AGAIN 😁. (see Hall of fame 2016-17, i think 😄)

All i will say is that, NOBODY got ZERO

[Old School Fan]

Like I once said, I didn't think I'd be nominated for this, let alone be voted in - but thanks for the honor and thanks to all those who voted and who've followed my Rise of a Star diary from the beginning (or who started following it later) and have continued up to where it is now.  😎 🍺

I randomly remembere HoF was a thing and had to hunt down this thread all of a sudden. Never had any idea I'd actually been inducted this time 😅

Thanks for the votes of confidence, these forums and writing diaries are what really made the game a joy for me to play and what keeps me playing it. Writing really gives substance and direction to my booking, coupled with reading all the wonderful diaries here and seeing the constant output of art it all upgrades the game experience. I'm just glad if people are enjoying my stuff as much as I enjoy producing it and reading theirs.
