I would attempt to say something funny, but I feel a nap coming

I'm totally honored to be the winner of the Community Spirit Award. I will try to do my best to represent our community of science lovers in 2015.

Thankyou so much everyone for the honour of the award for the Other Sciences.

And thankyou to Greg Bernhardt and the mentors for producing and running a forum that is conducive
to producing both good science and allowing members to feel like part of a family

I love you all

Thank you very much for voting on me for the physics award. I'm very proud to have been nominated and finally elected. Thanks also to the great team moderating the forums so well!

 

[Orodruin]

Congratulations all winners!

 

[BvU]

Thank you all (?) for this nice reward. It will be very hard to sustain this kind of success ;)

 

[OmCheeto]

I see what you did there...

:D

 

[Greg Bernhardt]

It will be very hard to sustain this kind of success ;)

nah, it seems to come natural for you :)

Indeed, I do not think anyone has won that particular award two years in a row

Indeed, I do not think anyone has won that particular award two years in a row

If I remember well, it was possible earlier, and happened with Tiny Tim, for example. He used to be extremely popular, and won the HH medal for a couple of years in a row. A few years ago, Greg introduced that a winner could not be nominated the next year.

Not for the award BvU won ;)

 

[ehild]

Not for the award BvU won ;)

Yes, it was not the Newcomer award :D
Somehow I can not think BvU a newcomer. I am seeing him for such a long time...

 

[Orodruin]

For me he has always been here ... :D

 

[ehild]

Yes, you are a newest comer then BvU. :) You see... haven't been a Mentor, you could have won the Newcomer award. But the HH award as well, or the Physics award... and you could have voted on the nominees. Now you are deprived from all these good things...

But I get this shiny ... uhmmmm ... green ... badge saying "Mentor" ... and the power to ban crackpots.

Well... If you only knew how much I used to hate Mentors when they sent me infractions and warnings. You are the first I am not afraid of unless you ban me

 

[Orodruin]

You are the first I am not afraid of unless you ban me

The moment you turn crackpot ... I will be there

 

[ehild]

No mercy for the ageing and weak ?
I prefer your other picture, the more human one

 

[lisab]

Yay!

Congratulations to all of the other winners!

I would attempt to say something funny, but I feel a nap coming

Does anyone else hear drums...?

 

[OmCheeto]

Does anyone else hear drums...?

shhhhhh!

 

[mfb]

Oh well, we could vote. And we could nominate!

 

[Matterwave]

I'm totally not bitter that I didn't win or anything. Yeah, totally not bitter. Like, not even a little bit. Not even a tiny little bit. Stupid awards... I'm going to make my own awards with blackjack and hookers!

Haha JK, congrats to all the winners! :D

 

[jedishrfu]

Congratulations all!

 

[Chestermiller]

Congrats to all the nominees and winners. Well done!

Chet

 

[Lisa!]

Congratulations to winners and nominees!
Goodbye OmCheeto! For sure we miss you

 

[Orodruin]

Just to say: The trophy postbit looks just awesome! (Of course, it should look as awesome as the winners.) It almost makes me consider retiring as a mentor and go for the newcomer award 2015 ... oh wait!

I'm totally not bitter that I didn't win or anything. Yeah, totally not bitter. Like, not even a little bit. Not even a tiny little bit. Stupid awards... I'm going to make my own awards with blackjack and hookers!

This one is for you: :D
