XS member of the year - 2012

[M.Beier]

So this thread is dedicated for some bromance! The year is almost over, whom has helped you much, or somehow done a bigger difference than anyone else.

I have a few I'd like to thank, one for certain will come as a suprise, and this is one of those seldom posts of mine without any sarcasm.
Its been a very boring year as for new hardware, in my opinion, yet the members have made XS worth visiting!

Dumo
Always on the edge, have a solid knowledge and always up to date with HW, yet never experienced any arrogance or 'over the top' attitude from you bloke, thumbs up, you are a true XIP of XS.

Sin0822
This might come as a suprise since I am obviously not a big fan of your work - however, you are one of the reasons that XS is alive, you have drawn an audience, and made sure that there has been activity on the forum, for that, thumbs up.

Christian Flank3r Ney
My new favorite fanboy You sure got a flare for AMD, but you do manage to gather LOTS of details, and collect it one place, when ever wanting to find something that AMD is good at. Also, you are one of the main reasons XS is still alive.

FUGGER
Charles, I've been nagging about SLOW XS for a long time, but, this year, especially Q4, you've managed to nail it, its running smoother than ever, I'll be the first to stand with banners when this fails again though

Buckeye
You are one busy man - but somehow you have always decided to make time for an annoying young lad from Denmark, no clue why, but been a pleasure with the many chats along the year.

- Let the thread begin, whom have done a difference in your book this year.

[Buckeye]

Sin0822
Allways takes the time to answer my questions in chat !

Movieman
So many phone calls that last so long HAHA Such a good friend for some one I have only met one time in person

FUGGER
Super nice guy and also a good friend

M.Beier
The endless chats on FB, after I banned you on Messenger so you could only bug me in one place HAHA

Christian Flank3r Ney

Pretty sure Flank3r's name is Michal, not Christian?

[zalbard]

Christian Ney is a completely different person...

FlanK3r's name is Michal Šimonek, just have a look at his Christmas thread.

[M.Beier]

The name is a fun thing since French media adressed Christian Ney as Flank3r, and they are not same person, Ney is from Ocaholic.ch - or in my case the by far most active person on messenger.

But please, do share if you think someone have done that little extra this year.

[C-N]

Stasio's got to be in there for all his threads & update posts for things like cpu-z, aida bios's etc

[OldChap]

Martinm210

For the sheer effort he puts into testing and presenting worthwhile information

Movieman

For NOT phoning me and for the motivational work with WCG etc. and for just being an allround good guy to deal with.

Stoneageman

When I look at the input and support of XS Distributed Computing I think the man is simply amazing.

ADDENDUM:
Christopher, B.A.T, canthearu, Anvil, et al who have done such great work on the SSD Write Endurance thread. Truly a boon to XS

You be quiet and as to Old chap his phone is about to lose it's cherry...POP!

Lots of good people here and many also gone that need to be remembered..
DDTUNG is the one that I miss the most.
His knowledge he shared freely, make a dumb comment and he's set your arse straight in a heartbeat and devoted to medical research to help others.
A very special guy in so many ways.

Dumo + L0ud + Any of the guys on the hwbot team, seems like they are the core of this forum.

[n00b 0f l337]

I'd have to vote runmc or movieman. Both are really the reasons I stop in here these days.

[Movieman]

[[XC] Oj101]

[l0ud_sil3nc3]

Dumo, Splave, runmc, lardarse, andre, raja, CN, stasio, and even sin0822.

[FlanK3r]

Raja@ASUS -very helpful guy, Im AMD, but of course in one eye I saw whats going on in Intel subforum
Olivion - man full of news
Movieman - smart guy with fun
sin0822 - technical "engineer"
Informal - AMD guy and very active in forum with news
and many others, Lardarse, Splave, Don Dan, Hiwa, Zalbard and all active guys in forum

[El Mano]

This thread is quite unfair. There are so many helpful guys in this community. I miss many names.
