This has got to be the hardest one to do. There are so many people I want to nominate (and for so many different reasons), but I think the one I'm going to go with is DE Sinclair. Not only is he a friendly, likable, and engaging member, as well as an integral part of the mod squad here, but I've always been impressed by how he handles tense situations, maintaing calm, optimism, and reason. I've even seen him in several situations where another member was giving him an unnecessarily hard time, and instead of responding with any sort of agitation, he just shrugged it off and kept on talking to the other party in a civil manner, completely unphased that he'd just been personally insulted. How many times has it been said that ours is one of the most respectful communities on the web? Well DE sets the bar for that kind of discourse.

This is extremely hard because there are so many fine individuals here, but I'm gonna nominate Roquefort Raider.
I've never known him to be anything less than friendly, respectful of others, knowledgeable, funny and kindhearted. Plus, he always has something constructive and interesting to add to a discussion. As such, I think he's pretty much a model member of this friendliest of communities.

This is extremely hard as the list of candidates is extremely competitive. Obviously none of us would be here without Shaxper, but, I think the intent behind this thread, as I see it, is to shine a light on someone besides our Fearless Leader. The second person that comes to mind is the Co-Emeritus, mrp, but for the previously stated reason, I'm moving on to someone else. I nominate  Hoosier X because he's the first one that pops into my mind as being an active contributor and I always enjoy his posts. Our community is enhanced by his contributions. Of course, others also popped into my mind, but he was the first, so I'm going with Hoosier X. It's intimidating, because I'd like to nominate another dozen people, for various reasons. |

My nomination goes to Hoosier X. Not only does he carry out his duties as a moderator whenever needed, but his zany sense of humor personifies what the CCF community is all about.

To me the heart and soul of this community is the heart and soul of the last one. We all knew this crazy experiment was working when Classic Comics Christmas came long. He's treated us to Lash House and the Guide to Earth-2, and I suspect his very presence brought over several others. Wherever Kurt went, was a place people could be confident that Classics Community would go.
I nominate Cei-U!
I summon the obvious choice!

I'll second Cei-U.
I'd like to nominate thwhtguardian. He offers a lot of varied contributions from the reviews of the Mignolaverse, to Batman X years ago, to insight on new comics. He is always positive and upbeat, and a voice of reason as a mod. His presence sets an example we should aspire to.

Unless he says we can't, I'd like to nominate Shaxper Without him, we're not doing this... I think if this is going to be an annual thing, it's only fitting he gets the 1st one  |

Wildfire2099,
I am so glad you nominated Shaxper. I am seconding your nomination, for the reasons you stated...and also for Shax's immense compassion and truly helpful actions in assisting a fellow CCFer recently--well, that is all the evidence I need to know he is a rare individual.
If for some reason he is not eligible in this category, then a new one is needed.

I second thwtguardian (what the heck does that name mean anyway?!!) It's a reference to one of my favorite Doctor Who characters:  The White Guardian. I first used it as my name in EverQuest but when I switched to WoW in 2004 the name was taken but instead of picking a new one I simply skipped a few letters and its stuck ever since. As for the topic at hand I'd like to second DE Sinclair, not only do we share the same last name but he's one of the sanest people here. In addition to that I'd like to nominate Dupont, though we seldom agree on many issues(especially where it concerns the creative merits of the superheroes from the big two) he's always respectful and I always enjoy his point of view. |
