OK, this is one of the voting threads where I needed nominations and you guys supplied them. So if you don't like the choices, you have nobody to blame but yourself (because you had a chance to nominate). VOTE VOTE VOTE

This poll was created on 4/5/08 and will be checked on 5/5/08. The person with the most votes will be declared the winner.

uh-oh! you spelled ~pcwiz's name wrong! he's gonna get you!
(you forgot the tilide, ~ )

hmmm, lemme think... PARANOID MARVIN??

VOTE --> pcwiz PLZ!!

C'mon pcwiz has helped 100s of people in the past and he deserves some thanks, thats what I (~pcwiz) think. pcwiz is an excellent forum member overall, don't you think? I (~pcwiz) certainly think so. So if you have ever had some help from ~pcwiz or pcwiz, kindly vote for pcwiz!

That sums things up I think

Well, when quite a few posts of the original thread were deleted, a few nominations went lost (mine among others).
Not to worry
(And BTW, I didn't nominate myself because I found it a childish and preposterous thing to do).

Is this thing the final thinga-ma-jig?

If so, not having Alessandro17 as a contestant is considered in many countries a crime, punishable by the severest punishment known to man. A 45 minute ban.

And you're lucky because I'm being lenient, if Sabr was here it could easily be 48 minutes. That's almost an hour! Unfortuanitely for you, Amnesty International have said they will not intervene.


All the contestants here are great posters. But really, no Alessandro17 means I've lost interest.

Thanks mate

*ahem* Forgetting someone?

Actually I believe you had been nominated as well.

I am sorry, but I feel I must say it: whoever wins this award it won't be a full victory, considering that a couple of contenders have been left out.

HOLY CRAP, I did forget Colonel. I'll have to send a special prize to him or something.

Plus, Aless is in the final heat for favorite donator, so all is not lost for him.

I couldn't choose between erei33 and ~pcwiz so I booted into Windows, fired up Visual Studios and wrote a program that would randomly choose between ~pcwiz and erei33. It was 6 ~pcwiz and 4 erei33.

YaY! Numberzz likes me

Me too...This was really difficult...

My vote goes to...-->~pcwiz.

Y U Hatin' on Paranoid M?

Thanks TuX and to all my fans, my wonderful glorious fans

EDIT: 1 vote plz, 1 vote makes all the difference in this tie between me and erei

Erei33!!! For his helpful news posts.

Indeed. Alessandro and Colonel should be included.

Every one of the five people listed here is a great contributor to this forum. I don't want to vote for myself, but choosing between Paranoid Marvin and ~pcwiz is near impossible! I haven't voted yet

Thanks, I'm glad you appreciate them Thanks to everyone who has voted for me too

I second that. Also for his good posts in Real Life.
Vote erei33, please!

Leading by 1!! Yes, thank you everyone who voted for me I agree that erei33 gives the most excellent OSx86 news this place has seen in a while, so a huge thanks and kudos to him

Damn no Think Mark?

Actually ~pcwiz should get my vote.. has help me at random times.

Ah, yes "clicks to vote for ~pcwiz"

Thanks Rufus!

P.S. That quote in your sig is hilarious!!

Shame there's no Alessandro17 or Mebster - you guys are awesome

But thanks for the votes people!

Thanks mate. You too

I know! I can't believe I'm not in this! lol, kidding around

But it is sad that Alessandro isn't in this. He's this forum's favorite Linux enthusiast!!

Alessandro is your main man when you want to have a serious discussion about how OpenSuse is not a new testoment or just a good discussion anyway.

But seriously, he's a top guy.

Thanks, you are always very kind to me. But you know I also think the world of you

Me too right Alessandro? I am also very kind to you right?

Well, you try not to displease anybody. Personally I don't care if the truth hurts.

Alessandro17 +1

I voted ~pcwiz! Good Luck!!

YaY Thanks MoC!!

lol, no problem-o.

Pcwiz of course

btw, winner gets......?

Thanks! Winner gets...a Mac Pro according to A Nonny Moose, Suhail, and MasterOfComputers, but I haven't gotten mine yet.

Sorry mate but you came up with the idea so therefore you sort it out for yourself. Good Luck

Mr. Wiz is my favorite of them all, with special mentions to Paranoid Marvin, erei33, and Headrush69

Thank you CLiDE, I knight thee Sir Clide

~pcwiz

LOL I can't help laughing at this! Especially from whom it came from!
I'm still new here but judging by the votes, you appear to be truly helpful, pcwiz! I didn't know you were so popular here...

Not to dog this whole thing, but until I got on this section of the forum I had never even heard of any of these posters.

Where do all of you hang out normally? Are all of the favorite posters on the real mac side of this forum? And not on the hackintosh side. I mean I'm usually in either post install forum, sound, networking or OSX leopard installation issues and never once have i seen any of these posters out there helping in those sub forums. Believe me there are plenty of users who never get answers to there topics. Some I agree do need to do more searching though.

In the few forums I have been apart of I have noticed a trend and that is that the elite knowledgeable people seem to hang out in only a few forums and the more noobie types seem to hang out in another part and there is not as much mixing as there probably should be.

I hope that is not the case with insanelymac but some of what I have seen here leads me to believe thats probably correct more often then not.

In any case I hope we can correct it and I really hope this does not cause a big stink. I'm just curious I guess if anyone has noticed the same thing and if not maybe I'm way off here.

I hang around Multi Booting and Virtualisation, New Releases and Updates, OSx86 Installation and OSx86 Post Installation sometimes. I all around the place...surprised you haven't seen me yet.

In order to understand what is going on in this thread, you should know that four of the competitors were nominated by me, mainly based on the quality of their posts in "The Big Issues [Real Life]" and, in the case of erei33, also for his news posts.
Another contender nominated himself and another user.
So all the nomination was done by two people.

And like I said in the initial post, you have nobody to blame but you for not nominating.

That is very true, people didn't seem to care.
But it shouldn't be forgotten that 2 nominations went missing: Colonel's and mine.

It's alright, you're still one of my favorites and will continue to be

I voted ~pcwiz simply because I'm not up there

lol jk go pcwiz!

Yes I know. So are you, my young, smart friend

And I'm buddies with Alessandro17, A Nonny Moose, and MoC right

A Nonny Moose is banned for not entering all nominated candidates
...
oh wait, that's a different thread.
