/mlp/ has an annual tradition of ranking the best and the worst of the events in the fandom and the board at the end of the year. They've just completed making this year's selections and the results are in.
Let's take a look!
Of Note, DWK takes home this year's "Namefag of the Year" distinction, and William Shatner receives the "Staffmember of the Year" award.
The IllustriousQ came in second place for "Worst Fan in the Fandom" beating out 2 murderers, but losing to BarneyFag and his recently learned true identity.
