The Groobys were a set of annual awards voted for by messageboard members to recognise the achievements of other messageboard users. Some were serious, others were light hearted and were originally presented at pre-Christmas meet-ups. For the 4th Grooby awards, the timing was moved to the end of season get together (May 2005). They are named after the site's original creator Lee Grooby.
