Ivo and DXTR have to be put forward for hosting this website and saving the community. Community member of the year, or maybe a special award?

Dan Hakulin, AleksiNir and DiSi for tracks, Ms... for cars, James. C, Ivo, AleksiNir and DiSi! for competitions - bear in mind this is just off the top of my head, from memory.

[Mad Dan]

Community member: Buka, Trigger Happy, DXTR
Competition organizer: JTarJ
Carmaker: Fechna, Paw_PL, J4ber
Trackmaker: Crowella, Maciej1, mathee, BBA
Commentator: Trigger Happy
Rookie: I have no idea atm but I will think about it and tell you later

[Buka]

Carmaker: ... J4ber

Did he publish something in 2009?

[Mad Dan]

sure, his F1 2009 pack at least which IMHO was best of those 4-5 or how many GR community made

[Trigger Happy]

For commentator I would say The lost Ninja with AleksiNir, for rookie I would guess that Cristiano Bohessef and Otto Wilson could be, but I'm not sure, if they didn't do a track in end of 2008 and same with Thecactusman, then for car maker Haruna Say and for organizer Jo.sk, who both did lot of great job during the year IMHO, same Ms... for trackmaker. And still many names are missing..

[Doorslammer]

Hmmm, I honestly can't think of any additions to that list. It will be tough to beat those already on there.

[Buka]

Christiano's, Otto's and Thecactusman's tracks in my zips' folder are dated only by 2009, so I suppose they are nominated right.

And believe me - there are a big number of people who deserve to be nominated. Keep on!

[The lost Ninja]

And believe me - there are a big number of people who deserve to be nominated. Keep on!

I would like to nominate Buka in the category "Sending tracks to The lost Ninja faster than the speed of light".

Maybe in next year we'll make this category.

[Bouncebackability]

just to add to the list...

Community Member: Haq
Trackmaker: Trigger Happy, Future Design, Egamad
Carmaker: Lukeno1
commentator: Haq, Egamad
Rookie: xDragonx (if he is a rookie)

[Raska]

Trackmaker : Gábor Kozma, Giuiba, MdP, Paw_PL, Speedy47, G.Marques, Garbre, spykee
Commentator : Buka
Rookie : Halama, GR5000, Mr. J, Medal89

[Cristiano Bohessef]

Well, I joined RSC in the middle of 2009, not sure the month, maybe June or July.

Thanks for the nomination btw

[Buka]

Now some nominations from me:

Community Member - JTarJ, TuomoH, Jo.sk, GeorgM.
Competition Organizer - vitorfm.
Commentator - BBA.
Rookie - DrAanik, majorotm (is he rookie? I think yes)

[DrAanik]

Thanks for nomination.
I would like to add to the nomination list:
Competition Organizer - Buka, Dan Hakulin (haq)

[RudyOosterndijk]

btw.: I'm a rookie, too

But I'll give my vote to majortom, my teammate in GRC 13 and home at planetgenerally.de.

[Lukeno94]

How can the voting end on the 31st? Surely that's when the nominations end?

[Buka]

No. 2 weeks for nominations and 2 weeks for votes. Rules are correct.

[Lukeno94]

Ah, it's my eyesight again then.

[Buka]

Don't forget to nominate if you think that someone is missed in the list. You have the last 2 days!

And you also have 2 days to say if you think that someone from Rookie nomination list isn't rookie. By the end of time symbol '?' will be deleted near their names.

[TuomoH]

It's so hard to come up with more names without RSC... Anyway, through some Googling I noticed that GR5000's been registered to RSC already in 2007.

[Buka]

Yeah, he was registered before 2009, but was he active in GR section of RSC before 2009? It seems I just ask him.

[Trigger Happy]

I nominate Ms... to Member of year, DiSi! to commentator, :spawnhypno: to trackmaker and Rudy to rookie.

And two btws: in compo organizers should be Dan and me merged like Aleksi with DiSi! I think. And James C. (I guess that s/c can be mistaken via azbuka easily in your case, Buka ).

[TuomoH]

Yeah, he was registered before 2009, but was he active in GR section of RSC before 2009? It seems I just ask him.

Yes, he was active at least on December 31st 2008.
