What happened to this?! I just came through it by pure accident..
That explains who MrColossal got his custom title (and AGA)..but perhaps he did travel in time.

The 2009 FOREGO Awards Categories:
In case you just joined, The FOREGO Awards are similiar to the AGS Awards, yet instead of voting for AGS Awards, we instead vote for AGS community members in various categories, such as Best Contribution to Gen-Gen and Funniest AGSer.
The categories I think are good to go with are:
Beginners Tech Forum & Technical Forum
* Most Helpful Person
AGS Games in Production
* Best Constructive Criticiser - Darth Mandarb
Hints and Tips Forum
* Most Helpful Hinter
Competitions and Activities Forum
* Best Overall Contributer
Critic's Lounge
* Most Helpful Artist
* Most Helpful Musician
Module Section:
* Most useful module maker
Universal
* Best Debater
* Best Overall Contribution
* Funniest AGSer
* Best Troll/Worst N00b
* Best Newcomer
* Best Avatar
* Best Signature
*Most lenient moderator
* Most Awaited Game Release
Ok, "site" (http://foregos.blogspot.com/) is up.
For Your Consideration:
If you did something and want people to nominate and vote for it, why not post a bit of information and screenshots to remind people about it?
I think MrColossal had that title long before those Foregos (...or long after?).
I don't remember why they stopped, probably some combination of "do we really need this" + "I can't be arsed to do this".
Mostly, of course, I blame SSH :=

I'd love to have these back, they seemed really fun!
Dualnames, feel free to run them if you want to do them.
And I agree with everything Babar said. :=

I'd get rid of... all of the Universal ones. Put a "Most Anticipated" in with the GIP award for Darth Mandarb and maybe add a "Best Effort" somewhere to recognise the troopers who post in every competition, critique in every thread, debate in every discussion, etc etc. Oh actually I'd keep the Best Troll/Worst n00b one.
Would this be a place to put the old P3N1S award for Worst or Silliest Game?
And if so, perhaps it should be for self-nominees only. I'm quite sure that if we had a Silly Game Of The Year award that enough people would join.
Yes. :=

Great post Dual!
I don't really like/get "Best Overall Contributer" or "Best Effort" (
ipso facto CJ's ;D), I love the rest.

"Best Effort" (ipso facto CJ's ;D)
I agree entirely, I don't see why he doesn't deserve a prize for it :D
Can we, have also, a Most Wanton Cruelty To, The Common Comma entry? I ordered,, a lot of commas recently and, I would like to get rid of them. ;)
Host that, Dual, I'd also like to see some more community polish around!
What's wrong with the Polish?
The Polish gave birth to Obi, that's the problem!
Then Obi gave birth to The Bladerunner Sitcom.

Polish, to make something bright and shiny, not the people.
For example, I would like my car to have more Polishedit: Speaking of Polish, I have to wash my car.
Polish people inside your car? Why?
'cuz they stole it, naturally ;D
Can you polish the Polish by the way?

Why not let the polish polish your car?

Can the Polish, Polish my car? What happens if the Polish Polish my car and i don't like it and the Polish didn't Polish my car to my likings. :)
This is getting too off-topic now.
[off-topic]What if the polish try to polish your already polished car ;)[/off-topic]
What if we could polish our not-polished games and give them to polish people..Would they polish them if they could?
Polish Quest, not to be confused Police Quest: give the not-polished games to the polish in order to polish them until they are polished the way we like, would they keep polish them knowing we might have even more unpolished games for the polish to polish?
Why not bring them back, you say? Well, I'd of course win it all. Where's the logic in that?
Naive humans.
I will expect two awards.
Best person in the universe
and Best person in all known universes in the multiverse.
The prize should be eternal bliss and a £25 book token for W H Smith.

pfft. Like a £25 book token for Smiths is going to get you anything decent. I went in there to have a nosey at the computer books in there earlier. There was virtually nothing. A book token at Waterstones / Blackwells would get you further.
That's true, Waterstones is a good bookshop. I think now that Woolies has gone WH Smith is trying to fill its place, it sells all sorts of things now. Originally Smiths was a bookshop, now it's a music/film/bookshop combined.
Well I buy my books from Blackwell Books. And no, I didn't purposely shop there because of the AGS name reference :=
I miss the FOREGO's. For me, even as an AGS vet they were so un-predictable, whereas the AGS awards are generally very predictable. Bring zem back!
I win the award for most useless member. I mean, do i ever have anything interesting to say?
You just used bold. You're disqualified for trying to be noticed!1
::)
Ok, "site" (http://foregos.blogspot.com/) is up.
Suggest people here! For anything or something in particular, promote yourself if needed!
For Your Consideration:

EDIT: Okay, done Abs!
Could you make the setup a little less greek? :P
For your consideration:
Module Section:
* Most useful module maker = Steve The God McCrea
Universal
* Best Newcomer = Calin Leafsade
I'm starting first!
Both Seconded!
Or:
Best all-around guy with a highly anticipated adventure that will most likely not see the light of day any time soon:
* Snake
Or:

Heh, maybe I should just speak for myself...
I demand the award for most lenient moderator, or I'll lock this thread and ban everybody involved.
I nominate c.leksutin for that position :=
I don't know, Abstauber, I think it's only a matter of time before we all get hacked and slashed around here. 2012 isn't really that far off...
Okay, so far 5 nominations (wow), some categories are still there folks! Nominate more!
Andail: Yes, master!

Seconded. It's probably not even worth having a moderator category because he will walk it. :=

- best hinter Leon (also, best "the internet flushed me file down the toilet, please gimme back me file" superhero)
- Most useful module maker: not really a module, but Electroshokker

*if it's summer roll a d6. If the result is 1 or 2 he's sucked into a gen-gen debate on God.

Chasing the dream (low res)?! Hilarious!
I'd like to nominate Calin Leafshade for "Sexiest Name". Seriously, that name is sexy.
