The 1st Annual Sifties Results are In!
Due to database restraints and other factors- we weren't able to address all of the proposed categories. However - there's some good stuff here. The winner of each category gets the lovely, hard-to-find (except in my garage) Official VideoSift T-shirt. In the case of a tie- two shirts are awarded. Without further babbling - here are the results:

Since people running a contest are never eligible for the prizes, does that mean I win the comment upvote category?
Even though I didn't win a t-shirt, I would have declined it anyway had I won as a form of protest. To my non-existent sex life. Hey, somebody's got to make a stand!
Serious comment: Will we still have a * nominate process like last year for the Top Hundred Videos of 2007? Please say 'yes'.
The only reason I beat out farhad for comments, is that he left the school thing for the work thing, and I haven't worked for real since I left college......come to think of it, I've never had anything but a well-developed shirk ethic....
Inane ramblings beat out well-researched diatribes, HANDS DOWN!!
"If you build it....they will come!"
-Field of Dreams
^"...well-developed shirk ethic..."
Priceless. Give that man a Siftie, goddammit!
PS: Is there an award for the sifter whose name appears most often in the award categories BESIDES dag? (Mmmhmm...ME!) Hey, selfish-bastardism is a hallmark of the Sift. I'm not immune. If I can't get a t-shirt, do you have VideoSift thong bikini? I wouldn't mind wearing it and dancing around in front of a floor-length mirror. (Sorry, joedirt. Don't mean to bring back any traumatic memories.)
Man, the Thunderbird is really starting to kick in. G'night.
Well, it was an honor just being nominated.
I am somewhat sad that there was no most * banned awards... I worked hard at that one
dag's most comment up-votes doesn't count. it's like having to laugh at the bosses jokes at work.
I demand a recount! This awards ceremony was rigged! siftbot is the clear winner of the "Most Comments" category.

So... Is dag a genius or the lowest common denominator of a Ron Paul supporting LOLCat
I smell Diebold's work here...
Can there be an award for most boring gold star? I think I might have won that one.
Also, I like to submit this for your consideration:
In my less than seven months, I've posted 2,828 comments. If I was here since January of '07. I might have beaten Ant for comments posted, and came very close to Choggie.
Yeah, I'm a loser.
^"Yeah, I'm a loser." It hurts, I know, MG. It hurts, but the first step to recovery is accepting the truth.
For my money (which is none), I think sometimes has the winning comment with this one: http://www.videosift.com/video/TV-still-has-no-fcking-idea-how-games-work#comment-265023 It still makes me laugh.
Comment hidden because you are ignoring dag. (show it anyway)
Yes I agree - me using my bully pulpit is not quite fair- MG will get his tee.
I was going to filter me out completely- but I wanted the stats to be right more.
Yay! But I already have a tee. You should save it for someone else. I imagine that you're running low and whatnot.
^Give it to Joedirt. He's a had a pretty rough life, being abandoned by his parents and being constantly tormented by Kid Rock.
w00t! Where's the lowest voted video? [grin]
so what is 7th place? lead?
you see that? my lolcat comment rules. Ahh, the humanity.

Unstickying this post from the top of Sift Talk - unsticky requested by dag.
In other stats news, I just completed the task of reading through all my videosift BACON e-mails... for 2008.
112 2007 BACONs to go now.
Woo Hoo! It's awesome to find out about this 1 year 1 month and 2 weeks later! I'm honored!
