Who Won the 2018 PF Member Awards?

[Greg Bernhardt]

Happy New Year! It's been another incredible 365 days spent on PF!

Congrats to all who were nominated as it's a true honor. It should be remembered each voting list could easily have been ten times as long. We have an amazing core of members here at PF. A member may have won more than one category, but can be awarded for just one.

Thanks all who participated in the voting and commentary!

Now for a special congratulations to the popular vote winners! Winners will receive a special badge which will last the year.

Thank you @Greg Bernhardt I am very honored. (Please check the trophy though=I think it incorrectly says "2017" Award Winner ).

 

[jedishrfu]

Congratulations to all the winners!

[JBA]

Congratulations to Jim Hardy, well deserved!; and, to all of the winners who make the Physics Forums great.

Are winners expected to give a speech? I'd be happy to recite some Particle Physics Poetry for everyone. 'The Little Quark that Couldn't (escape confinement)' is an especially enjoyable one I'm told.

Hall of Legends Award
@Orodruin

Wow, I really did not expect this before the vote, but got more and more anxious as time went on. This really means a lot to me since the category involves all of the winners from last year. A huge thanks to everybody who voted for me and to all other winners and nominees who make PF the best online forum.

Working on next year's poetry award? Sorry, but you will be in the HoL category next year.

It was an honour to be nominated, and I was quite surprised to win the community spirit award. This shows that the media gallery has awaken from dormancy. Thanks to everyone who voted, and also, congratulations to the winners in the other sections.

A number of people have a share in this award: @jedishrfu, who has rendered valuable help in determining categories for videos; @Greg Bernhardt, who has added media categories one after the other at my request; and last but not least, all the members who found the videos helpful. My aim of helping members by providing access to good quality lectures, has been fulfilled.

Congrats to Bill Tre, some great posts, tips and insights.

 

[TeethWhitener]

Congrats to everyone!

 

[Wrichik Basu]

Congrats, folks! You are what makes PF great!

I beg to differ a bit. The winners here, in no way, can claim that only their contributions have made PF great. Every single member has a contribution; perhaps someone a bit more than the others while someone a bit less. We have all joined hands and pledged to make PF one of the best online science forums.

I made no such pledge. I’m here only for the fish.

I'm thinking Douglas Adams so I up voted.

 

[QuantumQuest]

I'm really honored to be nominated in two categories. Congratulations to all the winners!

 

[Dr. Courtney]

It's an honor to be recognized with the Guidance Counselor Award.

I am grateful to Greg and all the other contributors who make PF the best science forum on the web.

I know I'm an opinionated guy who often comes off as gruff, but I do appreciate the diversity of viewpoints and ability to express them. The open discussions that follow differences of opinion can be of great benefit to readers as they decide for themselves which counsel to follow and which advice is not a good fit for their specific situation.

 

[sophiecentaur]

Congratulations to all of you. Very well deserved, chaps.

 

[smodak]

Congrats!

 

[opus]

Congratulations to all winners! Honored to be a part of the nominations!

 

[dlgoff]

Congratulations to all winners! Honored to be a part of the nominations!

Ditto.
Another awesome year for Physics Forums. You the man @Greg Bernhardt for your hard work making PF what it is.

 

[vanhees71]

Congratulations to all award winners!

 

[davenn]

congrats to the winners :)

 

[Orodruin]

I just realized even more what an exclusive club you guys voted me into (category won the previous year in parenthesis):

Hall of Legends
2015: marcus (Astro 2014)
2016: mfb (Insight writer 2015)
2017: vanhees71 (Physics 2016)

Thanks again to all the voters for this great token of appreciation.

Next year's HoL vote looks like a real hornet's nest, happy not to be in it.
I have my list of top candidates, but it is to long to fit in the margin of this post. (I also have a bad track record for predicting the HoL award one year in advance ...)

The awards history needs updating btw ...

 

[vela]

Congratulations to all!

 

[ChemAir]

Congrats everyone. Thanks!

 

[Sorcerer]

[neilparker62]

[jim hardy]
