(See the Advance Warning before participating) Nominations for The Bruce "Brutalis" Hinds Award (Friendliest Member)1. Please post no more than one nomination for a member who you feel was the friendliest in our eighth year of the CCF (between April 30th, 2021 at 9:22pm EST and April 30, 2022 at 9:21pm EST). 2. You must explain why you are nominating this member. This is the blurb that will end up in the CCF Hall of Fame if they win! 3. Please second no more than one nomination made by another member. You may not second your own nomination. 4. Any member that has previously won this award should not be nominated again unless they have done something especially different in the past year that is worthy of note. It is a given that past winning members continue to enrich the community. Let someone else have a turn 5. Any member receiving both a nomination and a second will be included in the final ballot for this award on May 24th. 6. Nominations and Seconds for this round conclude on May 15th. 7. Absolutely NO negative talk about another member, nor another member's nomination. The very purpose of this event is to salute our members and discussions for all they contribute to this community. Though only one member will ultimately receive this award, you have the potential to thank and maybe touch any member you choose to nominate or second. Please don't use this opportunity to hurt or deflate someone. So start your nominating!

There are many really friendly people here, so it's not easy to narrow down a single individual IMO. But I'd like to go ahead and nominate Farrar . As I was getting started here on the forum, I had a little bit of start/stop early on and without going into a lot of detail, he was a great sounding board and helped me a lot. Sometimes the friendliest acts aren't even the ones you see posted publicly, and I think folks who genuinely care like Farrar really add to how great this place is.

Soooo many candidates... The only thing that allows me to make a choice at all is that I know all the other names on the list are bound to show up as well! I'll start by nominating driver1980, who always respectfully acknowledges opinions that do not align with his and makes an effort to engage in actual discussion. Being able to disagree gracefully is an all too rare virtue in this world, and especially in online communities!

I think I want to nominate @jaska. All his posts are cool and he doesn't show any snappiness no matter what is said.

I gladly second Farrar, easily one of the nicest people around!

Also, I floated the idea of renaming this award from the krypto award to the Brutalis way back when. I remember you shooting me down shaxper. I'm glad you did change it to honor our friend.

I thought you were asking me to change the name of Jamie Awards to the Brutalis Awards. I thus also thought I came up with this idea myself

Is there an award for crustiest curmudgeon? No, but we did issue a custom title for a limited time, and of the few members who requested it, Slam_Bradley is the only one who still posts here regularly, so I guess he wins?
