View Full Version : ***CLOSED*** Another competition! * Winners * 1st Wonderlust * 2nd Aaron * 3rd Alexnifty *
Hi everyone,
We are going to decide on the top three individuals who have provided the best mixture of quality and number of posts in the forum, stretching over the past year. The 1st winner will be getting 17500 loyalty points equivalent to £175, the second winner will be getting 5000 (£50) and the third will be getting 2500 (£25).
I would be grateful if the forum members can help us with nominating individuals they think meet the above criteria.
The winners will be decided next Tuesday 3rd August.
Thank you,
Aria
Wow, awesome! Great idea and good to see our work is being appreciated :)
Edit: I'd like to nominate Andrew Moore, Wonderlust, and DT - though there's plenty more that deserve nominating too (plus I'm guessing DT might not be eligible anyway XD)
snakedoc...
^^ that was a nomination by the way.
it sounds a good idea.
awesome competition, i can see some people who have contributing for a long time but never won anything come out on top here (:
...Aaron
Cool this sounds great:
1. Wonderlust
2. Andrew Moore
3. Me :D

nice to see you took my idea of a points comp on
I feel that I provide the correct mixture of longtime membership, number of quality posts and not really having ever won anything more than a 1GB USB stick.
/pitch :p
EDIT: What? Nothing was said about nominating someone else:p
Ok then I have to vote wonderlust, no brainer tbh.
Very nice competition, if this had been last year, may have been in for a shout this year ive not been nearly so active.
Wonderlust
Always helpfull always answers :thumb:
1, Andrew Moore
2, Gilgamesh
3, Wonderlust
There a few ppl that always seem to come out with useful answers and great posts i only know ppl by avatar and not name i will serch for them later on :D
BTW Aria looks like ur loving giving away :DD
Are you trying to compensate for the los of Gibbo?

Awesome.
So how will nominations work? just shout out three names in this thread?.... I'm sure Snakedoc would much prefer a poll...

It was over the last year he said.
Gibbo did an excellent job during his time.
A poll sounds good it make's it easier for the winner to be chosen without trawling through page's of post's.

I second that, seriously. Wonderlust has been with this forum constantly for years and the amount of quality advice he has given over this time deserves recognition.
I can also say a similar thing about Aaron and Marsey :)

27-07-10, 16:09
Past year and this forum != half of the people mentioned, no offence, but it doesn't.
I've not been here that long but when I joined it was different from how it is now, it's changed dramatically in the last few months when the Nova guys came over here...but it was nice and active when I first joined.
I'd suggest some people such as (In no real order):
Tystar
Wonderlust
Andrew Moore
Aaron
coiler
DoubleTop
El Wayneo
I realise that most/all of them are mods of some form but they have contributed well over the past 8 months I've been here as has been shown by their promotion to moderator. :)
andrew moore by far :)
rawz
Aaron
Coiler works for Aria? So I assume he isn't allowed in the running
Wonderlust helped me out just this morning so gets my vote

I would like to nominate the following there:
DoubleTop
Marsey99
prsltd (not been on for a while)
Simply for going out of their way to repeatedly help me in my 'total fail' thread that stretched to 13 pages of memory-related troubles.
Others certainly helped too but you asked for three so there we are.
It was their willingness that made me want to help out where possible, though my lack of knowledge limits me somewhat.
Would love to be egotistical enough to nominate myself but alas im not lol
1. Snakedoc

I'm very flattered by those who have mentioned my name, thank you for the appreciation.
I'll have a think and PM Aria will my chosen 3 I think. As an admin I like to think I treat all members of the community equal and "endorsing" a chosen few is a personal thing for me :) I hope that makes sense :)

personally i think something like this should be for the mods and admin to decide otherwise it is just a popularity contest.

Wonderlust - for being consistently helpful and more knowledgeable than a truck of Stephen Frys.
El Wayneo - for telling it as it is and pulling no punches.
and
Gibbo - for the work he did rejuvenating the forum and starting the deals/compos we've all enjoyed.
He was simply hiding his true feelings Jon :D

You guys have helped me out on several on my n00b needs help threads aswell as having generally friendly (L33t) attitude which s what makes the Aria forum community so unique :)
I'm going to have to think about this one - this is the hardest competition yet, imo.. There is such a massive wealth of knowledge and helpfulness on here it makes it hard to pick 3..
Also, thanks to everyone who put my name forward - its very appreciated and its nice to know that a few of my posts are valued, at least :) :lol:

That's no good, I have even more work to do today due to following the forums too much yesterday :(
My pen stick came yesterday. Appears to work perfectly, and came in a lot less than 24 hours. Anything that I can't get from where I work I will most certainly be buying from Aria first and foremost from now.
Thanks again :)

I know i'm there as you make garbage generic statements and then i catch you out on them, Terbinator is probably there cause he is an Intel fanboi and i dunno what Will has done to offend thee.
Maybe if you stopped thinking as yourself as the be all and end all of PC related knowledge then you wouldn't get so embarrassed when you get things wrong. :thumb:

I would like to add at this point, a thank you to all the moderators, not only for doing the best they can without over moderating the forums, but also for giving up their time
EDIT:
yeah, a pole, maybe even hidden results till after closing might have made it easier for you guys to filter out all the answers and correlate peoples votes
I've not been a member long enough to nominate but good luck to those who are in the running for the prizes (which may I add are awesome; £175 :eek:)

I cannot see why not, if you provide a valid reason, but it is Aria, himself, who will have to confirm that.

Can you PM me who you would like to un-nominate and I'll make a note of it in the mods area.. I'm not sure it would be too good for general forum relationships for it to be posted in public :) :lol: :lol:
Gunslinger
02-08-10, 19:16
lol .... to be honest though, i'd say he probably forgot about someone, nominating 3 is in reality not that many if you have read many helpful threads from many people, and maybe been helped in pm etc...... so it is quite understandable to find people needing to or wishing to change their minds, and i dont think it should be taken as a negative response to any member "un-nominated"
