Most Valuable Cracker Contest: Year 3

[OhioDude]

I couldn't possibly list everybody who is deserving even if you asked for twenty names.

I would vote for co-MVC's: Dave McOwen for what he's been put through and will have to endure in the months to come and without a doubt DanC for his tireless efforts on Dave's behalf.

 

[TOOCOOL]

Meremortal......holds the EECp team together
smokeball........works real hard for the seti team
RaySun2Be.......because he always stays cool and tells it like it is!
Danc......for his support of team members in REAL need

keeping one for later

 

[Joe]

Soni
Smokeball
Hellburner
Ohio Dude
Grant


In no particular order

Edit to include Orange Kid...I know I cant count

 

[Maggotry]

OhioDude - stats
Hellburner - stats
Smokeball - stats and welcome threads
Sukhoi - help faq that got me running cli instead of gui
Logix - the 1st guy to point me to Sukhoi's help thread that got me running cli

 

[ElFenix]

i think i'll cover the basics here:
dmcowen
danc
smokeball
ohiodude

reserve 1

 

[Robor]

Boy do I feel stupid. I just re-read the post and realized that we had to limit our votes to just 5. Sheez, 10 was hard enough but I've narrowed mine to stick within the rules.

Now I'm even more ashamed because I left out OK (edited to correct this oversight)!

My next 4 are:
Smokeball
Sukhoi
Hellburner
Orange Kid
soni

Honorable mention:
OhioDude
RaySun2Be
Assimilator1
bazilla
Grant/Eponymous
DarkMajiq


I'd also like to add a "thanks" to DanC and bot2600 for all they're doing on David's case.

 

[Smoke]

So this is what this thread is about.

Man, this is hard?.wish it were a secret ballot so I wouldn?t offend anyone. Never thought of one being more ?valuable? than another?we all count.

Well, to stick to ViRGE?s rules, I?ll limit my picks to just five and in alphabetical order:

Hellburner
OhioDude
Orange Kid
Soni
Wiz

 

[Shuxclams]

Smokeball - for joining and adding so much to the DC forum.
IBhacknU - Shear output and enjoyment
Sukhoi - Help page

I know SONI, Hellburner and Orangekid deserve to be on the list as well but I had to narrow it down.
Should this become a Poll now that there are some consistant entries

[Tarca]

Pssss Panhead what kind of beer was that you wanted?

 

[panhead49]

wont get greedy.....bud will do....lol

 

[Bigwoofer]

Tarca - Why, cause that's how I got here
OhioDude - Daily Stats and commentary are more important than the rest of the world's news
DarkMagiq - Thank you! Ditto above
OrangeKid - Your contribution earns this spot
EvilWobbles - Cause we're marathoning to 10,000 :Q

 

[ViRGE]

Doh, knew I forgot to mention something.:| For anyone wanting to do a secret ballet, email the votes to me, and I'll keep a tally, and delete the email.

 

[Wellcky]

LD - For his endless nights setting up gb.net and .org os that our wu's and moo's make take a break out in space/fields.

BPhantom - after all, he single handedly controlls teamanandtech.com and the round robin!!

 

[bot2600]

How in the world did I get mentioned?

I would have to say....

McOwen
DanC
Narzy
Ray
Networkman

I hate to leave so many our, but I only got 5 choice. I would like to add about 20 more on there if I could.

Bot

 

[phatstyl]

men behind the scenes (perhaps women too?)
as wellicky already said LD for obvious reasons (TGB)
BKehoe for helping keep irc under control
SAK for helping me get ics up before i had my router- thanks a ton man
Team ECCP for staying in there!
and dmcowen674 cause i admire your courage

 

[BGod]

dmcowen674 - For persevering while being persecuted by jack booted thugs!
TwoFace - For doing MM list
LD - For kicking my butt in UT
Mika - For feeding my stats addiction
Jator - For pushing me to do better

 

[Jay]

No one is more deserving than the other......

...except for Dave for what he has had to put up with...

...and Ray, for being the example we all should follow...

...and ßGød for hanging in there til the end!!!!

For the rest of you, you can all share my remaining 2 votes.

Try and tally that Vote ViRGE.

 

[GeoffS]

I throw my votes to Mika for the great job he does, and to ßGød who has been kicking my behind these last couple of weeks and is pushing me to do better!

Geoff

 

[narzy]

I changed one of my votes to LD and another to wellcky, I also claim Jay's unused votes, and vote for him, MechBgon and Ohio Dude.

 

[Lord Demios]

Thanks for the votes guys, but I do feel it's important that the new members of Team Anandtech realize that a lot of the stuff they enjoy is done by members who don't show their face often.

BPhantom has done so much for this team yet not a single vote(at the time of this post). Junky has setup stats for us in IRC but I didn't see his name here. BKehoe got some votes like myself, but most of you wouldn't even be able to tell me what team he's with.

BPhantom single handedly runs the round robin, servers scripts, and DNS for team anandtech. When Core or Edge die, or have problems, we don't see it but Mika and BPhantom are on that machine like a sack of bricks.

I have just named a few, but much of the work done for the team rarely get's the credit it deserves. For all of you nameless helpers Thanks!

Just some thoughts to think of the next time we stop at teamanandtech.com, check stats in IRC, or dump blocks to a working round robin.

LD

 

[ViRGE]

Current secret ballot votes:

Dave
DanC
Smokeball
Sukhoi
Hellburner
soni
RaySun2Be

 

[aiex]

Ok i have way too many and i have probably forgotten a few but here goes:

Confused BW - for getting me into the TeAm and crunching so much (i think he should also get the award for most work units stolen off me )
OD- where would we be without the race stats/milestones and that funny commentary
OrangeKid - do i even need to explain that one?
Soni - he keeps one hell of a site going, and helps make the MTR
Robor - Well i think his number of WU's says it all

There are many more that i haven't mentioned and i think we should all win awards...especially me

Alex

 

[Jay]

LD & bphntom would not dissapoint us if one of them was elected MVC. Hmm, maybe LD could be MVC and bphantom could be his running mate.

 

[Orange Kid]

is this like the Time MOTY

anyway; here goes, in no particular order

bphantom........the man behind TA.com.....not like the Wizard of OZ....this man knows his stuff!!!!!!!!!
Hellburner........I know the pain of daily stats all too well
DanC................for his political correctness..........or trying to correct politics
MereMortal.......for bringing ECCp to light in this Seti laden forum.........diverseness is good
Russ................for the rise and fall of RC5........The Cube is putting up some nice #'s in Seti too


I realize there are a lot of other people who contribute greatly to these forums and I would like to thank them all for there great efforts.
If I were to try to name them everyone I would certainly forget someone so..................

EVERYONE STAND UP AND TAKE A BOW....................Thank you All

Happy Holidays and the rest....................

 

[CurtOien]

dmcowen674 For what he's going through.
DanC For all he's done for Dave.
Hellburner Daily stats.
Russ Started the cube. Helps people. Hosts things on his server.
Orange Kid That hair. Helps people. Hosts things on his server. Stats.

Five votes is not enough.
