2025 PF Member Awards Ceremony

[Greg Bernhardt]

It's been another incredible year spent on PF! Thanks to all contributing members for making it special! This year we're coming upon 25 years of PF.

Congrats to all who were nominated as it's a true honor. It should be remembered each voting list could easily have been 2 or 3 times as long. We have an amazing group of core members here at PF. You are all appreciated!

A member may have won multiple categories but can be awarded just one (I chose this year for simplicity). The next in line will be awarded. This can happen multiple times per poll. There were many tight races! We also had a two-way tie for second in homework which both have been awarded! Remember that this year we awarded the top 2 members for science categories!

Thanks to all who participated in the voting and commentary!

Now, for a special congratulations to the popular vote winners! The winners will receive a special badge that will last the year.

Thank you @Greg Bernhardt and all who voted for me. I am honored.

 

[PeroK]

Thanks to everyone who voted for me. I must confess I feel more like a leg-end than a legend, but there you go.

Community Spirit Award

I keep thinking of The Who, Tommy (May 1069) and Pinball Wizard, right in time for Woodstock, the 1969 Isle of Wight Festival, . . . .

 

[Ibix]

Thanks to all who voted for me. Agreed bribes will be in the mail tomorrow.

Yes, (s)he did. As soon as I saw his first few posts, I immediately thought to myself, "this is top new member material." Congrats @TensorCalculus!

To the mentors keeping the site running smoothly.

And Greg for the vision that came alive

 

[Orodruin]

Thank you everyone who voted for me and others! Not sure I deserved it this year considering how inactive I have been over the last 12 months, but still grateful.

Well you rumbled into PF like a bull in a china shop, what do you expect?!

Almost instant mentorship and subsequent disqualification from member award polls?

 

[sbrothy]

Congrats everyone! All well-deserved votes!

Indeed. We have an idiom in Danish. To "walk into someone's heart wearing clogs!"

(Not sure about the last word there but I mean like wearing old-school heavy wooden shoes (Danish: "træsko"). And that's kinda what she did. Even before we understood the age and gender. The latter of course meaning less and less in this day and age.)
