This was fun last year, I'm interested to see who wins. I personally haven't been active since August so I've lost touch with who the frequent posters are. Goodluck everyone.

I have two of the top 15 posts for the year. Can I buy votes with bananas? Andy, can I be considered for the nominations, or only current bloggers?
hey yeah for sure, one or two of your posts will be in the top posts of the year poll, and you'll also be in the top blogger poll as well

I've been on this site the entire 2012 so I'm in good position to give names, judging from my good taste. The first three:1. Brady 2. Bankerella 3. BlackHat Need some time to find the answers for the rest.

Going Concern:
Stop the presses folks, my nominations are here! Just in the nick of time!

Best contributing author: Aaron Burr Best finance related comment: PennTeller's "nothing is impossible" post Best non-finance comment: labanker's "side boob" story Member of the year: Brady4MVP (RIP) / his other half dozen accounts

I would give an SB to the first person who could name 5 alternate Brady accounts.

can anybody who knows Brady in person tell a little about him? I've heard rumors: he is in early 30's, asian. I just can't be convinced. No way. I highly suggest that we start a voting system and if Brady elected, you guys gotta get him a new official account. My life is miserable without seeing my #1 online crush. Brady, U R my MVP...

I have had dinner and drinks with him few years back. Very cool guy and smart. Not one mention of MBA in the few hours we were together. We did talk a lot about what city has the best looking women. Austin Dallas Houston in that order. Game set match

I bet he must be like that. How can I get a dinner date with him? Is there an auction for that? I'm in. Btw, I remember your name too. You are the cool guy Abdel used to refer as " can feel his aura when he is around" Do you still see him?

brady is a good guy that everyone harps on a bit too much but he does do things which make him a giant target :)

he just has a hardon for m7 a bit but he did very well on his gmat retake so im wishing him the best of luck :)

Good lord, how many blowies did he throw you for that shout-out? Kidding, kidding, kid...ding.

'Member of the year': re-ib-ny and SirTradesaLot; They have different areas of expertise but both are very helpful;

'Contributing author of the year' (maybe 'Blogger of the year' is more precise): olafenizer; I like his radical perspectives, which always entice my intense disagreement, lol~

'Your favorite WSO success story of the year': none, but I would consider it an epic success if any kid can screw this guy over: http://www.wallstreetoasis.com/forums/next-college-kid-to-send-me-unsol…
