HAPPY NEW YEAR!
You're looking at the first FORUM NEWSELETTER of the 2009 year! With 2008 behind us, all we can do now is reflect on what just passed us by. Forget about the future for this issue, it's time to wrap up 08 and award those who did better than the rest of us!
We're talking about The Forum Newsletter AWARD GALA! The first-annual event recognizing the awesome possums of the Forums and those who stood out in 2008 as key players of the foruming community.
You'll note this issue is a tad different and some sections are gone. Things will resume normal next issue. For now though, courage, as winners are announced!
Drumroll Please.
THE WINRARS OF 2008, BY YOUR VOTES!

Newsletter's Choice!
An extra little category to recognize five deviants who've actively helped with the Newsletter in various ways over the last year. Without these folks, the newsletter would be quite the different place!
LOVEintheSNOW who formats the COMMENTS section (by far the longest part), timmy64 who is the first and only forumer to have his own re-appearing section TIMMY'S PICK OF THE MONTH and who gives us tons of send-ins from the Politics forum, LocitatheSilent who created this year's Award Gala stamp template, Kallipolis who created this year's Award Gala Forumer of the Year stamp and finally, Assailant17, who sends in by far the most ban info and plenty of other send-ins that bulk up this newsletter!
And the big hoopla!

Congrats to the winners!
All the winners get the lovely little stamp with their name on it as a bonus for being good to our little community here on the forums. And to the nominees, who came a long way and did earn their nomination but just didn't drag in enough votes, there's a stamp for you too!
In addition to stamps, winners will get artwork featured here, and the FORUMER OF THE YEAR, decided by the people to be Prince-des-Sots, will be interviewed for the next newsletter being released February 1st 2009. And as for hearing from the other winners, we've got them covered in this issue's INTERVIEW section!
For now, on to featuring those you love best!

What did some of the Gala winners say when they found out they're WINNERS?
"" thetifftiff
"FUCK YEAHJHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
OMGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Madfairy7
"I don't know what to say. I'm flattered. " TerrorCookie
"My eyes would surely leap magestically out of their sockets and dance glittery tears across the sky." Bambi-iii
"I can't say I'd oppose it. " FrisianDude
"Oh shit! I forgot to vote!
Also I really need to get a life if I am that well known in an e-community to have won an award like that
I'd also like to thank the very many inane posters of the Politics Forum, for giving me motivation to be there, and the not quite as many intelligent posters, who make the place worthwhile. Keep the dream alive!" OuroborosCobra
"Something witty that shows my appreciation for all the people who may have voted for me and doesn't forget to thank anyone. Now can I has a cupcake ?" Amforsythe
" YEAH!" Prince-des-Sots

I've cleaned out my inbox because it was pretty out of hand, message me again please! I'm sorry I flaked on you a bit, dA. Moving out unfortunately forced me to get a life.
But, heyheyhey.
Here's a new picture of my kittycat for your time.
We are doing well. My up-to-date portfolio is online at www.nicolelo.com and I'd like to one day clean up this account to reflect that maybe.
But for now there's too many kitties in the world left to pet

Happy Birthday Forum Newsletter!
:la: :la: :la:
The Forum Newsletter is FOUR YEARS OLD today! :happycry:
Four years ago in the hip and happening year of 2006, The Forum Newsletter sprung from the loins of conorschild (https://www.deviantart.com/conorschild), who would carry it for 16 long months before that dreaded hiatus that tends to strike the uninspired newsletter writers from time to time. mangachu (https://www.deviantart.com/mangachu) would take the torch from conorschild (https://www.deviantart.com/conorschild) and when that went less than dandy, yours truly officially took over. I too managed 16 months before that very same pain set in and I took a one-year hiatus. But it's back, baby. :la:
There are, as of this anniversary, THIRTY SEVEN lolololol it's funny and true
