Website: The 2024 awards are here!

25-12-2024

As you might know, December and January were really busy months for me. That's the reason there was no "goodbye 2024" update, but here we are with the awards!

Before we begin, as always, I want to say thank you to everyone here, whether you actively participate in the community or just silently use the website for your own things. You are all part of this community and I'm thankful for that.

Just like last year, the following are automatically calculated. I excluded myself from the calculations to make things fair, but apart from that, I had no say in who gets which award.
The number one of each category will get an exclusive badge!

Let's do this.

:badge_award_comments: Most comments
The first award goes to the person who sent the largest number of comments during the year! And this user is... kris (commited suicide (currently dead))! An excellent yapper indeed.
  1. kris (commited suicide (currently dead)) (18271)
  2. Absolutely Donuts (12038)
  3. Dudeman (11245)
  4. Pseudo Shork Inksilver (8894)
  5. Callie (7148)

:badge_award_comments_longest_thread: Most active thread
This award goes to the user who managed to get the longest thread under one of their comments, not including their own messages. And this one goes to Absolutely Donuts! How did you guys even manage to load that thread?

  1. Absolutely Donuts (5044)
  2. Pseudo Shork Inksilver (2106)
  3. kris (commited suicide (currently dead)) (1131)
  4. Callie (599)
  5. Saberspark (376)

:badge_award_reactions_received: Most reactions received (NEW)
This one is new! It goes to the author of the comment with the largest number of reactions attached to it. The lucky person is Pure Vanilla?! You surely caught the attention of many.

  1. Pure Vanilla? (21)
  2. Watcher, the Spectral Servant (12)
  3. The Lean Monster (12)
  4. MAUS, Mimic and Final Judge of sprites. (10)

:badge_award_reactions_sent: Most reactions given (NEW)
And now let's give away one award for the user who sent the most reactions! The previous award wouldn't be possible without people like you. Thank you for reacting so much, Broken!

:badge_award_feedback: Most resolved feedback (NEW)

:badge_award_wormsonas: Most wormsonas made
I was considering skipping this award for this year since only one new wormsona was saved during the entirety of 2024. But hey, one is more than zero. Congratulations, Ormalawayo!

  1. Ormalawayo (1)

:badge_award_undertale_creator: Most Undertale characters created
This one should be obvious. Congratulations Mysteriousman=Gaster for creating the largest amount of public Undertale characters during 2024! Keep it up!

  1. Mysteriousman=Gaster (61)
  2. jibvil (51)
  3. FloweyTFlowey (49)
  4. ShadPts (34)
  5. Perhaps (28)

:badge_award_undertale_most_used: Most used Undertale character
Unfortunately, we do not have the data to give this award away. It seems the logging system for text boxes has been broken for an entire year, and since nothing else depends on it, no one noticed. Again, we're sorry about this one.

:badge_award_undertale_best_rating: Most rated character
One of the nicest things to see on your created characters is lots of likes from other users. This award is for the character that got the most positive votes this year: Clover (CANON SERIES), created by Coolerest!

  1. Coolerest's Clover (CANON SERIES) (142)
  2. DoobieDoddle's Ceroba+ (v1.5) [READ DESC.] (98)
  3. violet111's Starlo (Undertale Yellow) (91)
  4. GuyDuderson's Martlet (Undertale Yellow) (78)
  5. KingPlague's Ceroba (71)

:badge_award_undertale_comments: Most popular Undertale content
This one is similar to the previous comment awards but for Undertale content! This one goes to 𝓼𝓲𝓡𝓡𝔂 mel !! for getting the most comments on their characters' pages. Good job!

  1. 𝓼𝓲𝓡𝓡𝔂 mel !!'s Damaged Flowey (73)
  2. Clueless's Silly Cat (outdated) (44)
  3. BetaAfton's Chara (Deltarune) (33)
  4. UNDERLOVE's It’s just you, Frisk. (33)
  5. jibvil's Sans You're Genocides (27)

:badge_award_undertale_rater: Most characters rated
Now let's do it the other way around. This award goes to the person who rated the most characters this past year. Congratulations, kiritizias, and thank you for your honesty!

  1. kiritizias (1522)
  2. Red (1308)
  3. Cooldude_Aced1234 (1151)
  4. #1 Gangle Fan (635)
  5. DoobieDoddle (518)

:badge_award_undertale_importer: Most Undertale characters imported
While we should thank creators for their hard work, we should also thank those who appreciate their work. And while rating is important, imports are... imports-tant? (kill me). This award, for importing the largest amount of characters created by others, goes to santiago. I hope you're putting them to good use!

  1. santiago (2666)
  2. Cooldude_Aced1234 (1047)
