Most Valuable Cracker Contest!!!

[Netopia]

Russ - Because his (FINALLY) coming on board helped create a resurgence in our force

Dennil - Do I really need to say why?

Mika - Because of his constant and consistent work for the team. His work on the Proxy has been an excitement tool since the day he put it up.

RaySun2Be - For his daily work to keep people aware of all of the individual goals reached.

Joe

 

[Dantoo]

Kilowatt for his hard work and constant support for Klinux
dvch for his humour and his initial support of the Postman's "Ouch" thread which really got the Feds up and battling
TA Cube(It is one entity) for recruiting, organising, crackracks, trout, web pages, 100k+ blocks every day, support and barbeque recipes
DkapposFor the patience to make those amazingly colourful posts
LurkersFor coming in, looking, joining, submitting blocks and supporting even though you have little to say.


Hey Joe did you vote for yourself there?

[SpaceWalker]

RaySun2Be - for the milestone makers....
DenniFloss - great recruiter...
RUSS - the crack rack...truly inspiring...
ßGød - for keeping it interesting....
Mika - for his pProxy...
and if possible Jay - for his pProxy


and a specila vote for the Phantom Flusher - for helping use reach number one....
(I know it's only 5 votes, this one doesn't really count )

MOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOooooooooooooooooooooooooo............

 

[RaySun2Be]

I tend to agree with MechBgon, there are so many that deserve to be recognized. That's one of the reasons I started the Milestone Makers, to give recognition to all who contribute.

Thanks for the votes, but there are so many others that do so much more for the team.

I vote all 5 of my votes to all the unsung heroes of the team. Those that may or may not have big herds, but who quietly and without fanfare consistently crack blocks for Team Anandtech. Those that may not feel comfortable posting here and may not be well known, but who are the foundation upon whom Team Anandtech depends.

 

[Athlex]

This is a tough one. I can't even begin to list everyone here who has helped me over the last 6 months... Okay, well I can begin...

Kilowatt for KLinux. Without it, I probably would have pulled the plug on building more crackracks

Mika for running TA's pProxy and giving me more to feed my stats addiction.

I also want to vote for everyone who has helped me get going cracking for TA. Too many to list, but I thank you all!
atx

 

[BGod]

Jay 3 votes - for putting up a pproxy for both RC5 & OGR.
SpaceWalker - for letting me be #1 on Jay's proxy for a little while.
Ray - for doing the Milestone Makers!

 

[Russ]

Dennilfloss. Even though he does cause so much extra work for me constantly updating his page.

RaySun2Be. The MM's is one of the nicest things about popping in here each day.

Engineer Even in the face of insurmountable odds (HeHe), he and the Feds still keep trying.:Q

Netopia. Joe has been through it all, and NEVER seeks any credit for himself. From a personal standpoint (and he doesn't know this until now), HE is the reason I popped my head in here in the first place.

Still thinking.

Russ, NCNE

 

[BoberFett]

Count me as an undervote. I guess you'll just have to determine my intent.

Seriously, there's nobody I want to single out as being more valuable than any other on this team.

 

[Possessed Freak]

ummm I vote for the following:

Anyone who ever came on the IRC channel.

Anyone who has been an active member of the forums.

Anyone who has been submitting D.C. work for TA.

Anyone who has never switched from TA.

And finally: Anyone who has been fragged once by a TAer.


There that is a pretty large list..

oooo, can I add BKehoe even though he is not a TAer... a big woooooo-mooooerrrrrummmmwhatever gamma flux sounds like for hosting the current IRC server

 

[sciencewhiz]

ViRGE
RUSS
HELLBURNER
RAY
DENILFLOSS

Can we change the title to Most Valuable TeAm member contest!!! since not all members of the team are cracking

 

[Ken g6]

After much thought, I've decided to vote for:

[*]ViRGE - for being the main instigator of TA.com, who didn't win this award last year.
[*]Hellburner - Stats
[*]DennilFloss - for upping our stats
[*]Kilowatt - for "racking" up stats
[*]BurntKooshie - for being a friend and Cyrix-owner-in-arms.

Unfortunately, I had to leave out (with facetious reasons):
[*]Russ - 'cause he voted for Bush :disgust:
[*]Ray - 'cause I've never been on that list.
[*]Sukhoi - 'cause he wasn't fast enough to beat me to 500
[*]Jator - 'cause he made stats for Clueless' PProxy, and we can't launder our blocks there anymore.
[*]Nexus9 - 'cause his stats are too slow.
[*]ColinP - for conspiracy to commit assault! :Q
Everybody else - 'cause there are just too many of you.

 

[GT1999]

Russ- Is there anything stopping him? I believe he created a new wave of members in the RC5 team; I am a part of that wave, members who started because of him.
Dennifloss - Recruiting
Adul - Recuiting
Engineer - He helped me and other members out a lot, and I've seen that a lot from him. A very respectful guy with a lot of enthusiasm.
Paulson - The tutorial.

 

[danzigrules]

I have to say even though that I believe that we all deserve the title for being part of the TeAm here are my thoughts on this:

Hellburner (he had my name first) plus all the time put into the stats
Fardringle (stats too) even though he put a whooping on me in seti
badthad (for kicking up production) and being a partner in euchre
kilowatt (for making something so easy, even if i did need some help)
DanC (for keeping me here) wonder if you remember

 

[BurntKooshie]

Osmo.

 

[Jator]

I would like to give a special nomination to all the 'old timers'. When I say that, I mean all the people who have been here longer than me and are still here. Many valued members have left, and their efforts won't be forgoten. But even more, I want the old timers who have stuck with it to know how much they are apreciated.

And I would also like to nominate all the newer members. When I say that, I mean all the people who came in after me. We may have lost some great members, but we have been fortunate that we have had so many new members come in and not only pick up the slack, but have helped push us over the top.

So in other words, I nominate all TA members (Inlcluding BKehoe, he's on TA for Gamma ).

Jay

P.S. After reviewing my post, I just notices I nominated everyone but myself. :Q

 

[Engineer]

Where to start....hmmmmm..........

George Bush.....errr......Al Gore.....err.....sorry...wrong question

I'm not sure If I can single out 5 people over the rest of to crowd as every member of TeAm Anandtech is truely a special individual and they all have their wonderful (and sometimes not so wonderfull ---hehe ) traits!

With that in mind...I would like to nominate (not in any order!):

Ray...Well, even old forgetful farts need to be remembered once and a while!

Two-Face....For the Team Spirit and, more important, the idea that I have a true FRIEND in Norway....I can't thank you enough TF for all you've helped me through.

SAK....See Two-Face (above)

All the mini-teams...I mean All...Even in the face of controversy this year, every mini-team has offered an invaluable asset to this team. The new races, the recruiting, the extra mile in teamwork....All these people should be rewarded as they truely help bring heart to the TEAM!

And last but certainly not the least....I nominate my all of my teammates from the Federation....I can't say enough on how these guys have inspired me into working harder to help TeAm Anandtech..The friendships I've developed and the teamwork that I've learnt (not only here, but life)....

To the entire TEAM....All members of all Team Anandtech Teams!....I truely love you guys and this team....I know I've slacked off lately as my "real" life situation calls for it...but you guys and this team are in my heart and we're all winners no matter what position on the scorecard that we reside in....

Merry Christmas and the Happiest of New Years to all of you!! Happy Cracking

 

[Michael]

I'll toss in:

nexus9
Orange Kid

Michael

 

[divide by zero]

Word to Jator and RaySun2Be.

I received help from many folk on the board and appreciate all of them.
And I want to say thanks to all those that have posted on DC to help
keep it interesting and providing a friendly community. That is a big
part of keeping me involved. Thanks to Mika (staaaats, baby!) and the Baby Bovine operators that smooth over dnet's hiccups. Thanks to the folks I've raced.

I wasn't going to name any names but a few stand out as being personally helpful, please forgive me any forgetfulness.

Russ
Paulson
Kilowatt

and inspiration from
DanC
Denilfloss

and many more! Without everyone on the board and in the ranks, TA wouldn't be the awesome great team that it is!

 

[TOOCOOL]

Kilowatt
Engineer
viztech
RaySun2B
NT4Mike
this is very hard there are so many good people on this teambut the above five get my vote.
Paulson should be in there but he seems to be AWOL I want paulson back!, yes i know he could be a Royal pain in the butt, he was also a
great asset to the team, dam he worked hard

 

[JimMc]

Impossible to pick just one, an incredible group of guys from top to bottom.

I'll take the easy way out and voye for a relative newcomer (compared to the old farts that have been around 6+ months)--df. His recruiting energy, humor (and WW pics!) have benn invaluable in keeping the team focused.

 

[TwoFace]

Engineer for being my friend, and being there when I needed it.

Beefcake, HeavyIron + SAK see Engineer.

Kilowatt for Klinux, and Linux help

++++ Damn why did I have to pick just 5?

Special nomination all of TeAm Anandtech for being here and being the best team around!

With love and respect your fellow TA member

Two-Face

 

[Orange Kid]

Mika and his web team--contributers
LD and his web team--contributers
all those who run TA pproxys
Binky(AVG) & nexus9

[Assimilator1]

Hellburner for stats
Nexus9 for stats
Orange kid for more stats
Viztech for donating WU's
ColinP for 'reminding' Anand about SETI
