Another nod for sky14kemea. And I also agree with TimeLord - after the fiascos that were the Jimquisition "Adblock" episode and GamerGate, they definitely deserve some praise, general lovin' and hope bagels.

Pick me again, I've got a lot more interesting shit to talk about now. :p
But I'll agree with Sky being nominated. I'll also throw up Baffle, Barbas, G.O.A.T[footnote]For reasons that are related to his miracle whip. Ask him about it.[/footnote] and TimeLord because he's David Tennant's son and he shares a birthday with me.

Hmm, everyone I want to pick has either already had a spotlight or already been nominated...

Oh well, I'll throw in another vote for [user]Caramel Frappe[/user], [user]Barbas[/user], and [user]sky14kemea[/user].

I would also say [user]SharPhoe[/user], but I looked back and saw that he already got one.

Now that I think about it, User Groups sound like a unique thing. I'd throw my hat in with what Aerosteam said and nominate Groups like the Catoholics anonymous [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/groups/view/Catoholics-anonymous].
I'm the Admin of that group :) Meow. So yeah, Obv. we should get one :D

Failing that, I nominate all the mods.
All of them
Oh sure, Goat and I step down as mods and now you propose this :p

OT: just do everybody who been here over a year, alphabetically...
Zombie's Law: No matter when you step down as a mod, something awesome will happen shortly afterwards.

Case in point: The badge for being a mod and the ability to Bieber-fy/rotate anyone's view of the site were both introduced shortly after I left.

I mean, sure I got a free T-Shirt and PubClub membership, but I never received that badge god damn it!

OT: I nominate nobody because it decreases the value of my spotlight NukeLassic, because as with everything else he has ever received on this site it is completely unknown how he hasn't earned it already.

Yet another nomination each for both Nuke and Sky. They're both genuinely lovely people, even if Sky is a bit kick-happy.

No, not like kicking from the chat or anything, literally kick-happy. With her feet.
[sub][sub]I'm still not over that.[/sub][/sub]

EDIT: Or maybe just pick someone completely at random from those who've been here over a year, just to confuse both them and us. Because... Dadaism, or something. I dunno.

This thread just show me how many regulars I don't know. EDIT: Thanks Caramel Frappe for the info!

I nominate [user]PsychicTaco115[/user] their joke threads are always a pleasure to read and scroll in, even though I don't comment much.

I don't know how you guys do the whole blue link thing with the usernames, but I want to nominate TacoNews. I always liked his threads.
I can show you :)

The code is (user)insertnamehere(/user) but instead of having ()'s, replace them with []'s.

The link will take you directly to the user's profile.

So for example, since you nominated TacoNews- it will be [user]TacoNews[/user] with the code.

You can Quote my post and read the codes yourself. That is what I did every time I couldn't figure how someone did a code. Saved me time plus I would just replace their source / name and replace it with whatever I wanted. Hope this helps!
Thanks a bunch! I'm gonna edit my original comment now.

Ya know, you should probably leave the thread un-stickied for awhile so that it gets more attention. It got almost 30 replies until it was stickied, now in an equivalent amount of time it's gotten only a few. While it certainly makes less sense than the theory would imply, stickied threads tend to get overlooked even though they're constantly in plain view.

You know, I think you're right. Who the fuck ever notices stickies on this board? XD

Hell, it took me awhile. When I woke up and checked the Escapist I was looking for it for several minutes before thinking it had been deleted for some reason. Only then did it dawn on me to check if it was stickied and, lo and behold, it was. And that's from someone already aware of the thread's existence.

Yeah, I think I was actually linked it, so I never actually found it myself. Stickies are the masters of hiding in plain sight [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2ecS0yKnNLA].

I'm going to nominate [user]Martintox[/user], not only because he's a pretty cool guy in general, but he's one of the most prolific reviewers in the user reviews forum. While he's slowed down a bit now, for a great deal of time he was cranking out reviews daily, which is an insane amount of dedication and effort for a bloke still in Highschool.

Aw man I've been mentioned! How flattering, I was honestly not expecting it.

I'm quite fond of @MarsAtlas and @thaluikhain though I may be biased because they seem to show up in many of the discussions I get involved in. They're cool people and while we may not agree on everything, they respectfully point out any mistakes I might make and have probably influenced the way I express myself on these forums.

Other notable mentions are Zhukov, Colour Scientist, dunam, Silvanus and Lilani. If I'm skimming a thread I'll usually pause and read what they have to say, I tend to enjoy their posts.

Ahh, so many names. I'm terrible with picking favourites.

Another one for sky14kemea and TopazFusion, as chaos would ensue the community would burst into flames and crumble to dust without them. XD

If I haven't mentioned them already, I'd like to throw some love in the direction of [user]Skeleon[/user] and [user]Silvanus[/user]. We need more calm posts like theirs. I'd be rather worried if I ever managed to seriously annoy either of 'em.

I'll throw my two-cents in an also nominate [user]sky14kemea[/user], and I'll toss [user]Fiz_The-Toaster[/user] into the nomination because she puts up with the lot of us.
