Cleared trolling comment and reply to the troll
You mean there's only one?
So if we capture him/her/it, the forumz will be troll free forever?
Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!
(I hope you guys have a sense of humor)
I can see it now...banned from the forumz because there is not room for humor in EVE. 
No there is humor in Eve!
I just saw something about 5 minutes ago that made me laugh... Next thing you know I come to check on the forums here and yours is the first post I see. And strangely enough its directly related to you. :P

EVE absolutely did deserve this award. In fact, it deserves to win every single gaming award that is even remotely applicable.
* ALL other MMORPGs are mindless, childish themeparks.
* NO game, anywhere, ever, offers the depth and breadth of experience that EVE does. It seems endless, absolutely breathtaking in its scope.
* The overused term "addictive" has been cheapened to the point where it doesn't describe what EVE is. EVE is one of those very few games that can be so engrossing that you have to be careful of it.
EVE is not perfect. But it's pretty darn good considering the state of net technology and everything else. The "player protest" is histrionic: all the haters posting here still have subscriptions, for which CCP does get money whether by cash or by PLEX. It's all the same to them.
Many people are frustrated about what issues exist-- issues that do affect them, and that are severe within the context of the gameplay that they've chosen.
The reason they're frustrated is because these are flaws on a system of unprecedented perfection.
I understand their complaints. My respectful suggestion to these people is to find ways of avoiding the situations that cause "intolerable" problems for them.
As far as the lag issue goes, I have a wakeup call. This from someone who has been programming for 30 years now.
It's very simple. It's unavoidable. As the game expands, it WILL continue to occur.
It's this thing called throughput.
That means that there is only so much traffic that this EXTREMELY complicated system of net pipes and servers can support. The lag complaint is analogous to trying to run thousands of gallons per minute through a house plumbing system and then wondering why the pipes burst.
But I digress. I would like to offer my most sincere and heartfelt congratulations to CCP for a job done not only well but in superlative, unprecedented fashion!
As a matter of fact I find it hard to believe that there's anything out there that's as good as EVE is, in so many respects. Many more awards will be coming.
And the real floodgates have not even opened yet.

Have to admit that I do appreciate this most recent dev blog in how they went into detail describing lag and load testing. Sheds a bit more light on the topic.

You're going to see people whining and emo-raging over lag when there are many thousands of ships in fleet fights.
Why do they even expect it to not lag? Of COURSE it's going to lag.
If you try to download 20 movies at once, and your internet becomes slow, do you then blame your ISP for it? CCP is a service provider. Their system is open-ended and therefore allows players to choke it.
Players are knowingly engaging in behaviors that crash nodes and lag the areas they're in to unplayability, then they shout and complain that it's laggy!
Ironically the same people are then complaining that CCP isn't devoting enough effort to changing whole OTHER areas of the game to their liking.
I really wish these people who hate the game so damn much would just vote with their wallets and go play Habbo Hotel or something. YES, they have a point about the Sov mechanics and a few other things. But the whole lag complaint from people who engage in thousand-ship fleet fights is getting really old.
So they jump 200 ships into a system. What the hell do they expect to happen?
