As 2012 draws to a close, we would like to take some time to thank our users for their hard work over the year. From editing entries to uploading media, everything you do at Know Your Meme is appreciated and makes our database more and more comprehensive. In addition to Olivia Gulin‘s original badges from last year's Thanks Awards, we’ve added several new specialist awards to honor those who have made significant research contributions to emerging subcultures and hub sites. Bummed out you didn't get an award for you research? Shh, there is no need to be upset. You're just as special and we're equally thankful for everyone who participated in meme research and discussions. The new badges were designed by Jill Denkmann.

I find it interesting how many people are fastening on to the Portuguese/Brazilian thing. I've said something similar about the English language and the United States before, but I'll throw in meus dois centavos on the issue here for the heck of it: Yes, the Portuguese language originated in Portugal, but there are roughly 17 times as many native speakers of Portuguese in Brazil than there are in Portugal, making Brazil a more than reasonable candidate for the main country of the language. Also, I don't doubt that well over 90% of Portuguese-language memes originate from South America.

Now, as to whether a Jr. Editor with two editorships deserves an award, that's a different question which I'll refrain from addressing.

My congratulations to those that won a award, except for a certain person that starts with a "S" and a "B".
