Cryptic Clue Fest - Part of a Sythe Christms, 2013 [A CDT Event]

Hey guys! It's been almost a year since our first scavenger hunt, so we figured... why not re-create the event!
It's created to be slightly challenging but we hope it wont throw you off too much.

What does this event entail?
Well, you'll be given 11 clues. Each clue leads you somewhere you can find an answer in the form of a number. Threads aren't specifically themed.
What can I win by completing it?
1st, 2nd and 3rd place (randomly drawn) will of course, win our Christmas 2013 minirank.
Everyone else who enters correctly will win another name in the pool for the 100$ donation draw!
I wasn't on when you started!
No worries, it's not in any way first-come-first-serve. You have until New Year's Eve (GMT) to enter your combination.

How do I enter and compete?

Below is a list of clues. Go through them IN ORDER, work out what thread or place they refer to and search there for the number/answer.
Note down this combination of numbers, example: 54, 67, 09, 12 etc.
Some of the numbers are NOT in the first post of the threads.
Some of the numbers are in hard-to-spot places/colours. Look carefully!

Once you've got your 11 numbers in a combination code (IN ORDER), private message the Christmas Elf by clicking here like so:

THIS IS AN EXAMPLE ENTRY WHICH IS NO WAY A REFLECTION OF THE TRUE CODE


How will winners be chosen?
We will put all correct entries in a draw (first submitted is number 1, second is number 2 and so on) then randomise three numbers with a Sythe.org dice. These people win the minirank.

The clues:

Where will you be in 6 months or 1 year this Christmas?
A night before Christmas (or maybe a month?) several members won something shiny. A recent staff arrival to the market holds this answer.
This month a yellow scrooge wont be handing out funranks, be warned!
Those worthy of your votes this year are here, perhaps someone legendary has the answer?
Looks like someone was eliminated and replaced! See who you're up against and pot the 8 to win.
This steam verifier sure has some interests in the clues!
You all signed the petition, Sythe did the deed.
thats it im gunna fokin knock u out now firez fockin twat
A Prince Yobabo's brother leaked the staff lounge... or did he? A banned MOTM has the answer.
A new game from Blizzard? Sounds promising. A bond holder and OMM holds the answer here.
Sythe's own gallery.. not quite Van Gough's but definitely worthy of a prize in this competition. Our ex mod for this section holds the clue.

Entered

 

Took a while, but I finally got them all. Pm'd

 

I'm having a difficult time figuring out what these numbers are suppose to look like? Are they big numbers? Colored? Italicized?

Sorry, I'm really interested in participating in this event, and I'm new at this scavenger hunt, so sorry for sounding like a total nooblet.

 

Who posted the numbers? was it the elf or just randomers?


EDIT: Stupidly hard - especially for us first timers.. once finding the threads (which wasn't that difficult), I didn't know what to look for apart from numbers... Which was impossible, not knowing who posted them and whether they were even posted..

 

Nothing in particular, they're hidden in the places the clues refer to

Obviously not the Elf that'd be too easy sometimes the clues refer to a particular person, if not then it's the OP of the thread.

 

After some hours i found them all, have anyone else found them yet?

 

"Cryptic clue: XX" is what's posted. As I said, if a specifc user isn't hinted then it's on the OP (first post). Just look more closely.
