Never had a negative experience with this guy. Super chill, super helpful. Started talking to him outside the forums and he's helped me both with stupid technical questions and big-hitting personal things. 10/10 deserves recognition.

He's always buying me cool stuff and just paid for a trip to Australia for me.

He's super nice, when I first got my HHKB he let me know how to turn capslock off which I asked four times in the simple question thread without a answer he also sent me a cable free of charge too so thats nice of him, and I like him and have talked to him he also always PM's me if we happened to of ordered things at the same time to say his just entered the country so all around a lovely person.
Also direct from last years Nominations

On the note I would also like to nominate Evo_Spec He's a lovely person and has offered multiple times to get me things from Japan too, most recently a B-shop exclusive Jesta cannon model, which I think is lovely of him, he also really likes green and is a little down on luck at the moment so something like this would be awesome for him!
He's still a awesome person and needs some love
Hope to see some completely new winners this time, and new faces though.

I am fairly new to the whole keyboard scene but he is the one that has been the kindest to me so far =)
Just the regular talk about how each others day was, sharing pictures of our food and talking about keycaps.
We were researching some things for our 60% keyboards and he even asked me for advice, gha!
It might sound simple and all, but people like Jokrik are the ones who make geekhack great for me.
Thanks Jokrik =)

Dude has been great for the community. He has hooked me up and helped me many many times. Dude is overall awesome and the world needs more people like him.
Nubs (Nubbinator)
Dude is always creating stuff and is always contributing to the community. He also hooked me up with tasty beer. You should make him a custom Beer Bro

This guy is a royal pain in the butt, but he's easily one of my best friends in this community. He's helped me obtain a handful of artisans and always had my back during that mechmarket fiasco. Dude's true to the core and made me a promise last year that he'd help me get my dream keyset, Hackd By Geeks. Guess What? He came through. Easily the best Bro around, minus Bro Caps, of course.

This bro knew I had been eye'ing a particular keycap which he owned and provided me the opportunity to trade with the person (a real-life friend) w/ whom he traded the cap with ~
After giving me his reddit info, he vouched for the guy's trustworthiness & ensured that me he'd make certain I would receive the cap. (1st-time trader here)
He didn't have to and stood to gain nothing from putting me on notice of the opportunity & facilitating the trade ~ Really surprised me! Nice fellow :thumb:

I have nothing but good things to say about bunny. He was the first person to greet me on these forums (though I'm certain it's not something he'll recall :))). In every interaction I've had with him he's been nothing but kind and respectful, despite how busy he always is. He gives 110% to everything he does and has made quite a name for himself.
I doubt he'd want even more caps (he's always quick to give them away to help someone out), but I still want to nominate him. The guy is truly a Bro, and I consider him the face of the CTRL ALT team.

Dude has been great for the community. He has hooked me up and helped me many many times. Dude is overall awesome and the world needs more people like him.
You beat me to it. I first saw LSB over on reddit, and I recall him explaining something to me (afraid I've forgotten what we discussed; it was several months ago). Another great Bro who is willing to go out of his way to help others, and I'm certain there are lots of people who agree with me.
I also want to nominate bcredbottle (there's no limit to how many nominations we can make, right?)
bcred was the first person to PM me on GH when I had no idea what I was doing and was just looking for artisan caps. He was kind enough to offer me one to sort of jump start my collection. In the time since then, I've seen him around helping people out and trying to get a South Florida meetup going on. I think this might be the year. :D

+1. Dude is super thoughtful, honest, and generally dope.
Also,
e3e - Guy is very willing to help and works hard for the community, just not in ways that gain a lot of attention. Solid bro. He ran a giveaway for me and did all of the hard work. I offered him his pick of the stuff offered, and he took the crappiest one b/c he didn't want to detract from the giveaway.
And +1 for eat_the_food. Largest single artisan keycap giveaway ever.

This guy is pretty incredible. He and I have had in depth conversations on his perspective of art and how pure imagination is reflected directly onto whatever is created by an artist. He's very humble about his work and never ceases to amaze the collectors of his caps. He's genuinely understanding and even assisted those who didn't get the chance at any of his caps via sales. I can't think of a negative comment to say about the dude and he produces some pretty awesome caps too. :)

Don't really have a specific story aside from watching this guy in action- I can list 4 ppl offhand that he's selflessly hooked up with dream caps in the past month.

I'd like to nominate Skcheng as well, nobody cares about my teeth like he does which is why the last package I got from him included
some of the best toothbrushes I have ever used. He is easily my favorite tooth fairy!

Post by: Binge on Fri, 25 March 2016, 14:56:18
codyeatworld - he has really made me feel capable of learning new things. Guy hustles hard and still has time for others while asking for very little in return.
nubbinator - the heart and soul of our GH secret santa, material hacker, star MS paint bro, and all around chill elder guy.
scgmdx2 - Very positive slacker who's treated me just like I feel he would any person from day 1 of making contact. Great outlook and that positivity has made the worst weekdays pass sometimes exponentially faster.
Post by: livingspeedbump on Fri, 25 March 2016, 14:58:08
because the dude is a champ.
he did just give away a Duck Viper, I mean, c'mon, who does that?
Kudos.
because the dude is the best person to just talk life with around.
also, he works like a beast to get caps out to the community and has brought so many people together.

definitely BFF material. been an absolute pleasure hanging out with her and seeing how much she cares about her craft.
Post by: att1cus on Fri, 25 March 2016, 14:59:19
Also nominating skcheng as he is incredibly nice and generous, helped me get a few caps I've been after for a long time, and cares about my dental health :) :thumb:
Post by: Air tree on Fri, 25 March 2016, 15:02:47
demik
demik has been so generous it's unreal, he organized getting me another HHKB after I lost 90% of my personal possessions, along with that demik has been kind to a pretty large amount of the community, demiks hard on the outside but at the center he is soft and gooey. :))
I can't think of how I can fully repay demik and everyone who helped me out and showed a large amount of kindness towards me.
inanis
I honestly feel bad, She along with many other people who threw in money to get me another HHKB, I haven't even had a chance to really talk to, but I can say throughout the time she has been on geekhack, she has been nothing but nice to everyone. Helping out people. She even put up with me being really late on my secret santa when I was having some chaotic moments in my life.
Nubbinator
Recently, I've come to realise, even though I haven't had the chance to really talk to a lot of the nice people outside of the forum setting, I really want to change that. Nubbinator was up there giving ready to give sell off a cap of his to help get me another board, and is sending me stuff to go along with the HHKB everyone has pitched in to get me.
Everyone has been so generous in such a short time on geekhack, it's made me feel bad, I wish I had done more to be a better member of the community towards a lot of nice people. I'm really going to continue to try and be a better member of the community towards everyone, and even with that thought, everyone, even people who have barely shared a PM with me, have done so much.
Too all of you guys who have show kindness towards me and the rest of the community:

We had to talk due to an issue on a group buy. He came across as a heart on the sleeve type of fellow and someone I would be happy to count on. He contributes to GH like a man spraying marshmallow bullets out of an AK47.
I also have this weird 3D printed thing due to him which I don't know what to do with?
Post by: suicidal_orange on Fri, 25 March 2016, 16:54:53
It's only a small thing but having that much consideration for a complete stranger is admirable and I really appreciated it, so I'd like to nominate him.
Post by: Badwrench on Fri, 25 March 2016, 17:07:34
Is there actually any need for another reason? He has been an eternal source of knowledge for me, as well as a great guy to hang with and have some great beer. He also drove down and helped me sort my Alps GB, and even brought beer.
Post by: nubbinator on Fri, 25 March 2016, 17:08:01
To start: skcheng
Dude is a total bro. He's not as visible as he used to be, but he always does a lot of stuff behind the scenes. He recently helped me out with a HHKB Type-S and sent me a cool celluloid fountain pen along with some Mont Blanc ink just because he saw that I liked playing around with fountain pens. He's always giving encouraging words, giving thoughtful and unrequested little gifts, and just tries to help people out. I get the feeling that he's the type of guy who would see someone having a hard time at a restaurant, pay for their meal, and walk out without telling anyone or letting anyone but the server know.
Post by: Badwrench on Fri, 25 March 2016, 17:09:20
He has been a stand up guy and did a ton of help with the design and motivation for my GB. He also picked up the torch and ran with it on his own Alps GB. :thumb:
Post by: nubbinator on Fri, 25 March 2016, 17:11:40
He called me an honorary Mexican. It think that's enough. But, as others have pointed out, he has a thick thorny outer shell with a soft center. He got Destiny that Baby Alive doll that would haunt absyrd's dreams, he's given away more than I can remember, and has a refreshing bluntness, even if I don't always agree with it.
A true Bro is someone who's there for you, but will call you out on your ****. demik certainly fills that role.

Badwrench. Definitely one of the people I would call a friend on here. I know I'm not always the best at getting back to people and sometimes can be a little cold with people (though I don't usually mean it), but he goes out of his way to say hi, see how life is going, and just be a cool guy. I'm also always blown away by his generosity to other members.

Post by: rowdy on Sat, 26 March 2016, 01:46:13
Also BunnyLake. He always seems to be doing something for the community - answering questions, sorting orders, running GBs (despite the recent claims about his performance, from what I've seen he is frantically trying to pick up the pieces after other people let him down; what would you do in that situation?), is overwhelmingly generous, and almost always courteous.
Post by: QuickDelat on Sat, 26 March 2016, 04:48:00
Binge & WidgiePidge: amazing caps, really care about the community, always try to find new cool ways to hold sales, from scavenger hunts, duels to stickets. And Aloe to ease burns.
Eat_The_Food: that first give-away raffle & those golden tickets, he's building an amazing experience for his buyers. Looking forward to have a chance to buy one of his caps. (0 luck so far in the raffles, but my chance will come)

This dude is as as cool as the other side of the pillow. Not only does he obsess and strive to collect all things orange, like myself, he also hooked me up with my first orange MX Clack. I had been searching far and wide for an MX HO and he gave me a desired Clack that he wanted and promised to hold his until I got the other half of the trade. He's super chill and is always giving positive feedback to other members in anyway he can. :)

I'm surprised no one has thrown her out there yet, honestly. She puts out some wicked designs and is always laid back enough to talk anyone. She's helped others out by giving away Keywoks/other keys and lives to please her fan base. It doesn't hurt that she's now a fellow Tennessean either xD

Super helpful guy when you're new to the gh community. Talked to him on slack, irc, and discord and he really just wants to help. Every time a user wants to try something new or is unsure about a purchase nickheller will try to help in anyway possible whether it'd be though purchase advice or sending you a freebie to start you on your way. Just an proper stand up guy.
Edit: and my favorite usa proxy :D

Why? Because he is a cool guy, last year I had some rough time, found out that my father is terminal ill, I had a job in another country and it wasn't what we hoped to be so I was really down... In all that mess he put together an action so I can get a Candy Corn blank CC, one cap I was looking for for a really long time, and I got the cap on December 24. Not getting the cap I was looking for a long time but the gesture of a coplete stranger gave me the strenght to make some changes in my life and although some things can not be changed my life is now back to normal and I feel good again. I will never be able to thank him enough for that gesture. If someone deserves this it is Nubbs :thumb:

I'm kinda new to the community so I haven't had that much experiences yet but eat_the_food literally went above and beyond!
1. his raffle was open for 48-72? hrs to accommodate everyone in the world ( very considerate)
2. He gave me a discount on the total sale! ( bro move)
3. I messaged him recently asking where I could donate, he politely turned me down and told me the best way was to support him by entering his raffles! ( pure class)
4. " If you won the raffle, you'll get a box in the mail. Within the box, the item(s) in your order will be in a sealed BLACK bag or bags. Random boxes will also contain a GOLD sealed bag. If you were lucky enough to win a set you'll also get one.
GOLD bags contain anything from colorful blanks to limited colorways to one-off caps. Just my way to say thanks for the support ;)"
What A Bro.

GreyAmbience , I haven't had a ton of interaction with this guy BUT he has gone out of his way a few times to let me know about sales and just the other day he messaged me to let me know I won an Alien Aloe cap from a random post that Binge made.
Sheraton , besides the fact that Sheraton has allowed many people to buy sets and add-ons after Group Buys close, here recently he put the money up for me to start a group buy for spacebars (I didn't have the funds to make the purchase).
Booper , boop is awesome on so many levels. Personally, she's made me a number if one-offs and is always so nice to talk to ... total (she)Bro

omg >insert generic username< got me all the artisan caps I could dream of and more. they really are the best because they just give away keycaps I want so I can further make amazing trades with my newly acquired trade fodder. man i love getting caps for free because then i can profit basically instantaneously! sweet! my trade fodder is growing exponentially and i can't wait to get more of the actual caps I've been dreaming about since I registered. oh and i just registered so im so excited about my first keycaps!!1 to be fair, after i get my dream caps im just going to trade them anyway, but those dreams wouldn't have been made true if >insert generic username< had not helped me out. they really are the best user ever. i cant believe how many people trade in my favor all or how they just practically give me their caps. gosh, i love taking picture of all the keycaps i have too. i especially love taking pictures of my trade fodder and including caps i never want to trade, but you know you gotta bait hard around here to get what you want *WINK WINK* *giggles* i dont really care if >insert generic username< is a genuine good and honest person, i just really want keycaps ya know? i love collecting thngs, and im so good at it.
i wish other people gave me stuff for free, maybe then i would nominate them.

He gave me a turtle shell from eat_the_foods sale because I am trying to start a collection and it's tuff to start with just cash. He also gave away his right to buy a glow in the dark Binge cap after the last sale, and let someone else get it.
All in all a great dude who gives a lot back to this community.

nathanrosspowell
The reason I joined Geekhack. I had already ordered all my parts but still couldn't figure out what layout I wanted to build. I found the Golbat 40% and wanted to know more about the case. GL1TCHED forwarded me to seek answers to nathanrosspowell @ GH. I signed up, found him and sent him a message with a bunch of stupid questions about making a custom 40%, is it a good daily driver etc. He responded to every question with much detail, gave me soldering/programming tricks&tips and really was just a joy to talk to. So thank you nathanrosspowell for everything. You convinced me that there's nothing to be scared from. :)
Joey Quinn
I found his MA42 project and figured that's the layout I want. But well, he made it with a friend and the only way I could get one is to make it myself. I didn't want to "rip off" the layout without asking the maker first so I PM'ed him and well, he was super nice about it. He checked the git repository to see if everything is up-to-date and just helped me to figure out some stuff about the build because it was (and still is) my first build. And I really have to say - MA42 is THE keyboard I wanted. Thank you Joey Quinn for making it and sharing info about it. I really really have to say a big thanks for that so here it is.

Linkshine
Just a real good dude. Gets me through the workdays with some classic slack convos and helps me with my ridiculous indecision when it comes to building boards. One of my day ones.
E3E
Another dude I love chatting with. Our PM history is about as long as the bible and he helped me sort out a bunch of stuff during my most arduous build ever. Also that hot-swappable alps board he built is just rad.

My nominations:
Linkshine: Linkshine is such an amazing person. He is always everywhere, every keyboard media outlet and always reachable and answers immediately. He is so fun to hang out with on slack and he is very funny there. Linkshine never really shies away from a question and is always nice to whoever wants him to be. He is definitely a bro!
Skcheng: Without Skcheng, I would never have been able to complete my SloFi Rainbow, he came out of nowhere to surprise me with a rather unfair (for him) offer for some old and hard to come by slofis that are literally the red, yellow, and pink to my slofi rainbow. :)
FLFisherman: Florida man is such a friendly guy. He is always very nice and funny on slack, and he is so helpful. Literally he keeps offering me help on different sales, and he really does care about everyone on Slack. He is great to spend time with and he sure deserves to be nominated!
CCarlitos2: CCarlitos was definitely one of my first friends on GH, one day he just started PMing me after a small history of previous PMs and contact wishing me luck on a HWS sale, and since then, I have been talking to him a lot, but Slack definitely helped a lot with getting to talk to people here!
Scoobs0311: This guy is so great! A while ago, he traded me my absolute favorite slofi, and was so nice about it! I thought that he would abandon me after that as I don't see him around that often, but we have been PMing a lot. He has been such a bro and he definitely deserves to be nominated :)
Jerue: My first GHer on my Buddy List. When I was really new, Jerue was very friendly and nice, he lent me some alps caps to try out some quiet clicks and drew a pretty picture on the envelope for me! Over time we have had some fun together. Definitely a bro!
I think I may have missed a few people and if that is true, I'll circle back and get some new compliments/professions of love for other people.

Found the TactileZine thread and well, I dig some zines so I'll like this one too. Can't wait to get mine. He's super friendly and polite, very responsive when PM'ed and just doing so much creative stuff for and outside the community (yeah I stalk you on the interwebs, dude :D ). You have my full support for whatever you gonna be doing it the future! CPTBadAss for president!
Post by: jaejae on Tue, 29 March 2016, 11:43:18
He's always been kind to me and really into the artisan world. We exchanged many messages on Slack as he explained to me the different makers and caps and history behind them. He helped me plan out my future mechanical keyboard timeline and even offered to jump start my collection with some caps. More than just keyboards though, we would just chat and he's been a real friend to me as a newbie in the forums. :thumb:

- He had a giveaway of a Fugu he got from eat_the_food.
- He also gave up his chance to buy a GID cap from Binges latest sale, so someone else could.
Pretty awesome dude, who does a lot to support the community.

Some probably think it's kinda silly how many people are nominating skcheng, but it's for a reason. He's the most generous and trusting person I've met, and no amount of giveaways can come close to matching the things he's done for others on this forum. He's going to get my nomination too.
Sometimes I feel like I'm the only person he hasn't given a cap to... hint hint... :)) :P I kid, I kid.
He is indeed a cool guy. :)

jwaz/hashbaz - these two senior mods don't necessarily spend a lot of time posting on geekhack anymore, however they do a lot of behind the scenes work to ensure geekhack is a positive community. I don't think a lot of users realize what goes on behind the scenes!
vesperSAINT/trizkut/ghostjuggernaut - all true bros who I have a good time with. We talk a lot and have some good gaming sessions too. All are extremely generous as well, always down to help out a friend.
dgneo - although I haven't talked with him much, he has a good taste in keyboards + music, and always has a positive vibe on the forum.
Post by: dohbot on Wed, 30 March 2016, 15:04:56
I would also like to nominate Dohbot. Though our friendship was born via a trade discussion, it only took a few messages for me to realize how incredibly nice he is. Dude went to great lengths to help me out and was very patient with me while I was being lame and indecisive. We've been communicating more and more, recently, and I'm very thankful to have the Master Sloth as my friend :DThat's so nice! :)
Post by: ghostjuggernaut on Wed, 30 March 2016, 15:26:20
Bro Caps - total bro. Got to know him last fall and he listens to my bs all the time. He even had his V2 caps named after his bro-ness.
BunnyLake - the kindest person I have met so far on geekhack. He goes out of his way to help people within the community. He has stepped in on many "projects" and helped members out when needed. Wish there were more people like bunny in the world.
Codyeatworld - I approached him with questions about CMYK and he offered to setup a site for me to use. He never asked for a dime and has been putting up with me since. He is doing some really awesome stuff for our community behind the scenes.
Clacktalk/frunk/franktar/etc. - always able to brighten the mood no matter how ****ty it is. Great dude to chat with on just about any subject. He also came back to HHKB.
Vespbro - this guy. Total epitome of what a bro is. Will always take time to chat no matter what it's about. He genuinely cares about so much, and puts effort into everything he does. Even if that is spending countless hours learning to drive and shoot better in GTA.
Asdfjkl36 - dude straight spoiled me during secret Santa. Also very kind and great guy to talk to.
Cottonsox- this guy. So much this guy. Takes bro to a new level.
In addition, baldgye, tym, hipsterpunks, sent, radio_killah, Meiosis, jerue, bevo, slickmamba, billnye, photek, are all good people and I'm happy to have been able to get to know them. Some had been short, some ongoing, and some gave me a headache, but they are all capable Bros for sure.
I missed people, I know. I have met so many awesome people on geekhack, and it wold take a long time to list it all out.
Cheers!

This guy helped me out many times now. when toxic was running, I won a couple of brobots with my order and he helped pay for my Bros, he just recently is sending me something super secret OuO...Looking past the things he's done for me, he donated a **** ton of caps to help pay for Destiny's Treatment, been plently nice to pretty much everyone on the forum. <3
btctopre
Btc been an overall great dude since he's been around, he's given away quite a lot of stuff to people who don't have any artisans, and he deserves to get something back. :-*

I would like to start out by saying that I would like to thank, from the bottom of my heart, those who have mentioned me. I have been rather inactive recently because of a few life changes, but to still be thought of in such a positive light, I am truly grateful that I have such amazing friends in this great community. This reminds me that I really am privileged to be considered a friend by you, absolutely beautiful people <3
(http://data.whicdn.com/images/119884099/original.gif)
As of recent, there seems to have been a small negative shift in the tone and mood of the community because of a number of unfortunate events, and I'm always thankful to Bro for swooping in with these threads to save the day. I can't express how happy it makes me to see these adorable posts by everyone <3 I hope this thread will help shed more joyous light on the other threads on this forum. Let's not forget, my baes, that Geekhack is first and foremost a place where we all gather to share a common love and hobby.

switchnollie - It has been an ABSOLUTE joy and pleasure for me getting to know you. I'm so grateful to have gotten to know you, my bae <3 Being able to share our common interests and taste for things, every interaction with you has been a strengthening experience for what I already love and also for new things. You also provided me with opportunities to improve my creative abilities ~ hehe ~ <3 You are the Sleever Supremus! Best sleeves NA ;) ( samus x satsuki )
byker - Dis Canadian is my breh from another muddah <3 Topre may have brought us together, but what holds us together is something unexplainable. I'm so glad to know you, mang. We seriously can just talk about anything. I'm just happy to share anything with each other. Is this what they call love? *blush* We should praise h3h3 for further strengthening our love huehue <3 Topre is 4eva. Purple is life. You will experience doubt and temptation with the new MX, but nevafohgetdacuprubber.
trizkut - This dood will legit just rekt and sheeit all over me, but I end up just loving him more for it <3 We have always interacted here and there on GH since he joined but it was only recently that we actually started to talk, and I'm just glad it happened sooner than later :3 From our loooong-ass late night gaming sessions to just laughing at stupid stuff online, it's always a blast. Thanks for just chilling with me all the time, mang. It really means a lot to me. Really. <3 u mang. Don't fight it. Just let it happen :-*
ghostjuggernaut - Ma Burrito Gang bruddah (aka ghostjigglyjugs) <3 LOL! LOW BLOW ON ATTACKING MY DRIVING SKILLS IN GTA! I seriously owe so much to you for many reasons. You have always been so kind and generous to me, and always greeted me with the most positive moods. Talking to you is always a joy because you're always positively reinforcing me. Also, that GPU was something you would have given away anyway, but to me it was the first step towards my PC upgrade T_T I even enjoyed the 2 wild months of RMA'ing because you were always checking up on me <3 Literally, Mod of the Year, amirite?
billnye - This upstanding gentleman is a great example of what the younger generation of GH should be based on. Not only did he begin out on this community by taking over a failed groupbuy and standing it back on its legs, he has always been kind and honest. I hope you'll continue to stay with us even after you go to college T_T
asdfjkl36 - This man right here is also a man of no limits when it comes to kindess T_T I'm sure many of you already know but this guy right here is so giving, it's crazy <3 Whenever I see something good happening to you, it always brings a smile to my face and I nod to myself thinking, "yup ~ deserved and more <3"
baldgye - MGS MGS MGS MGS MGS SOLID SNAKE WAS BETTER THAN BIG BOSS MGS MGS MGS BOSSSSSSS <3 In all seriousness tho, I love you, mang. I enjoy every fanboy conversation we have, and I hope that we will continue to argue about these things, or just agree with everything. DIDJU-RIKE-EET.
punksdead - Bruh, when will I get my semen recipe book? Lol. Jkjkjk <3 What more needs to be said but I'd move to Clearwater with you so we can take over the Scientology scene. If that ain't true romance, I don't know what is, my love.
jokrik - My love, oh ~ how I cherish you. To me, you have always given me the vibe of an older brother (I may even be older??? Haha~). I don't know what it is, but that's the closest way of describing it. Hehe <3 Thank you for always hitting me up via PM and just starting everyday conversations with me. To you, they may seem like basic conversations, but I really do appreciate them. Also, that major candy loot you sent me was seriously the best surprise package <3
lxxxix - My local T-town brotherrr <3 This guy is a true bro. In the handful of times we've gotten together, we have discussed SO MANY things with great enthusiasm. I really cherish our conversations, man, whether it be about keyboards, GH, or anime. I really do feel like I lose track of time when we're chatting away :) Our Saturday/Sunday dates are love <3
riotonthebay - My Gainesville brother from another motherrrrr ~ Why we never meet?! Hehe~ JK. The help that you've provided me and your eagerness to help is what makes you a tru bro. I really appreciate all the things, mane. ALL DA THINGS. Hopefully, I'll get to see you if you ever come down to good ol' flouda :P
zeal - Master Zealio is top Canada. Most people know him for his professionalism and business but he is legit a Bro behind the scenes. The amount of laughs we can have just through Counter Strike bots alone is plain wrong. LOLLLL! I miss playing with you, mang <3
katushkin - hehe ~ I may do some design work, but the one you should REALLY thank is switchnollie! He is the True Ultimate Master Sensei Dankmeister Sleever Supremus who makes all the magic happen! I am but a mere peon who does his biddings. Hehehe <3 Thank you for the kind words tho. You say such kind things but you fail to mention how awesome you are! With the KotM threads to running the livestreams, you are a truly essential factor to GH. I'm so glad we have you ~ Thank youuu.
binge - Yooo dood. This guy right hurr. His aura is always that of happiness and positiveness. Aside from the fact that he's an absolutely spectacular artisan, he tops it off by being an A+ grade bestest lad. Every time he messages me, I am brought to a smile even before I've read what he wrote, and find myself ecstatically typing a message back to him after I'm done confirming his message was that of joy. Thank you for being such an awesome guy, Binge. I love talking to you. Green Curry x Bullets Team <3
belfong - My brother from Malaysia, I heart you, mang. Even though we don't converse often (because of timezone), whenever we do, it is always of the utmost A+ bro-dood status. I seriously enjoy occasional interactions. Whenever you respond to my stuff or mention me, I seriously jump for joy. You don't even know *blush* <3
apocalypsemaow - Even though we don't get to talk as often because you're so busy, I always appreciate you, bb <3 Your passion for the hobby, yet constant bad luck is the ultimate tragic story of GH. HUEHUE ~ Jokes aside, this man is also one of the titans of generosity and is always ready to lend a ear or just play a couple rounds of games with you. I appreciate you, mane.
hoffman - Yo mang, why you gotta be such a nice guy, huh?! Hehe ~ I think Bro said it best when he said hoffman is the standard which all humans should be based. This really couldn't be more true. This gentle giant (giggle) is the epitome of a.. well a gentle... giant. I don't know what it is, but I just love teasing this man <3 You are truly a role model to me. Your approach to everything and anything is always a lesson to me. Thank you for being my friend and teacher. Hehe ~ I also really cherish your drunk texts ;) Next time, "accidentally" send me your nudes, and don't "accidentally" send me pics of halverson's nipples instead... or just send both :D
sent - Sent has always been such an amazing person to me. He has always gone out of his way to talk to me about serious life matters, and discuss subject matters that can be difficult to talk about. I really do appreciate these talks and means much to me. If not this, it's our constant talk of love for girls and pretty keycaps and keyboards muahehehe ~ You've been so busy lately!! Come back to me, bae. I miss youu T_T
mobbo - My friend, I'm so grateful to slack for having brought us together :3 I would have missed out on such a quality friend ~ From sharing our love for weeab stuff to just straight up having laughs on Slack, I'm just glad that you and I met ;) I look forward to getting to know you better ~
photekq - I have known this lad for a very very long time now, and I've watched him grow for (both) the better and worse. LOLDONGZ! Many people may know him as the local GH Cherry whiz, or intidimated for the same exact reason (and some others lol...), but he really is just another GH'er whose love for keyboards is near unparalleled. His enthusiasm for sharing knowledge on thing is really an essential piece to GH. I always respect your knowledge but also like to watch you grow. So please, Shrek, less phat ogre ****es ;) Huehuehu ~
zanduby - Hehehe ~ You are most definitely welcome, buddy <3 Don't hesitate to ask me for more stuff, or just hit me up if you ever want to discuss more weeabz stuff. You know I'm more than happy to :3 I'm glad I met you, m8.
danielucf - Thankies for the honorabro mention, yo. I was so happy to finally meet you! We are all so close yet so farrr. Heh. Hopefully, I'll get to taste your home brews another day *drool*
heedspantsnow - This dood sir is legit one the kindest members I've had the privilege of meeting in person. Not only did his family open their beautiful home to us, he also offered us amazing food and coffee. Many may see this as a simple and common thing but he provided us with a truly unforgettable and amazing experience. Thank you again and again, good sir <3
clacktalk - Yo Frunk, you another HHKB yet? Talk to me when you HHKB again ;) <3
Gosh dangit... I passed the 10,000 character limit per post so I gotta split the post... -_-;;

Part 2 - R.I.P. Don't hate me... it's not my fault... it's ya'lls fault for being such amazing people that I couldn't stop typing for the past 3 hours, and now it's 5:32 AM as I type this...

Bro Caps... Must I say more?! Hehe ~ Many know Bro as the ultimate figure he is on GH (and rightfully so ~ he's so dank af hue), and think of him as an unnapproachable figure, or as an "artisan". But what many tend to forget is ~ Bro is, more than anything, just what his name states: A TRUE BRO MANG DOOD OF ALL TIME! Hehe ~ He is seriously the most simultaneously passionate and chill person I know on GH (may seem like a contradiction hue), and he is always working super hard to provide only the best experiences and items. He really really really cares about wanting to give everyone what they want, and even more on top of that, to as many people as possible. On top of that, he is also super generous and giving in so many ways. Keep making your moves, my Bro <3 There are even times when I really wish people would be more empathetic towards Bro, and while I'm at it, I'd like to mention my baes, BunnyLake and codyeatsworld. BunnyLake, this grandest sir, right here, is seriously one of the most generous people I know (if not, most). EVER. His kindness really knows no boundaries. Maybe it's because I've known him since he joined GH but I can't even count the amount of times he has just shared and given things to so many people without asking for anything in return. Not only this, he goes out of his way to read and take to mind what everyone says. codyeatsworld, this dank doodman is always working towards the next coolest thing, and they always end up being the coolest things ~ I have only recently been able to get to know cody more, but I never realized how much stuff he has going on. I never was able to appreciate the amount of work he puts into everything, so that everything is up and running smoothly. You are a true master, good sir. I'm so glad I've gotten know you better, and hope to know you betterrrr <3
I realize that I've clumped these amazing three gentlemen, but it's because, sometimes, we forget these amazing doodbaes are also just regular Joes who just want to share their passion and love with everyone. They are just normal people too. They may sometimes falter here and there, but they will always deliver in the end. I promise you, these guys really are trying their best all the time. I appreciate you. We appreciate you :3

Okay... so I realize I've written over 2,000 words... If you actually read everything I posted, I'm sorry for the loooong babbling :P I haven't posted much lately and I guess all of it is just flooding out. Teehee ~ If I didn't mention you, it's not that I don't love you!!! It's just that it's 6 AM, and you realize that my brain is the dead after writing this loooooooooooong post. Lol ~ You know I <3 youz ~ Who knows... there might be a Part III ;P ... I hope not -_-;;

(https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=68572.0 remains one of my favorite threads on GH, broken .gifs and all)
A couple of noms from me..
byker - it's been a real treat getting to know you a bit better over the past couple of months. The games are fun too, at least until vesper ****s up and we wipe >:D :))
1swt2gs - Don't know you too well, but you shot me a PM out of the blue asking about my favorite switch/board/cap and some genuine questions about the secondhand market. While disappointed with the situation, you came across as very patient and willing to chat (even though I didn't do a very good job of maintaining correspondence). You hit me up a few months later on Slack to talk shibez, and I very much enjoyed that chat as well. I hope you manage to get an MX stump and reaper v1 soon :thumb:!
sed8op8 - You may not be active as much anymore (though I suspect we'll catch more glimpses of you with the return of the Mummy!), but definitely a true bro. Always down to bombard you with paragraphs of pure enthusiasm in PMs, and always putting out feelers to hook up a friend. There's so many awesome caps I doubt I would even have had access to if it wasn't for you, so once again, thank you for that. =]
Post by: Photekq on Thu, 31 March 2016, 12:35:28
- Using ~'s in posts
- Using K-On and other assorted weaboo gifs in posts to such a degree that he has made my phone crash on multiple occasions
- Writing 10,000 character posts, and doing so in the fashion of an anime character
- Calling me Shrek or Steve Buscemi on an almost daily basis
- Referring to my home as a Shrek Shack, and to Wales as a swamp
Considering the degree to which I have a blind hatred towards all of those actions; I'd say he's a pretty cool guy. He's also the one person other than my mum that can get away with referring to me as "my love". His posts are incredibly well thought out; so much so that I have a unique and special reaction (https://pbs.twimg.com/profile_images/683769800091394049/g_zBWnpA.png) to them.
I mean, really, if I had to come up with a list of my favourite things in the world it would be :
- VesperSAINT
- Boku No Pico
- Bible Black
The fact that he trumps those two things speaks volumes about him as a person, truly.
Post by: VesperSAINT on Thu, 31 March 2016, 12:53:02
vpsert here ~ you dun deedz it nao, m8. I necro'd eeet... by accident.
Let's be real here, Mr. Buscemi of the swamp shack, Boku No Pico and Bible Black trumps anything. Both are essential factors to a healthy childhood... lol.

demik - Dis hombre is the taco to my beef. The bun to my weiner. The Sriracha to my Phở. I don't think we've legit had one serious talk about keyboards outside of Topre. You are a true HHKB connoisseur (even though I recently saw an old photo of your Poker with SP RGB mods...) and a master to my funny bone. I love every interaction we have, and the taco/Kaya Scodelario GIF battles that we have. Don't ever change, demik. I <3 U.

I'd like to nominate a lot of people from the list Bro made, so not sure who to nominate.
Someone not on the list would be switchnollie. Always making sick sleeves and giving them away to people.
Also wanna nominate ninjadoc. Although i have not spoken to him, he's done a lot and put a lot of work into the Mira GB which was left in pieces. He's worked hard to get it where it is, and put a lot of resources into the buy. A lot of people have given up on the GB but i trust he'll see it through till the end and for that, he's a true bro.
Plenty of other people that have already been nominated and dont need my nomination.

Air tree - my bae T_T You are always so warm and kind-hearted <3 I still remember your long and slow road towards an HHKB and finally acquiring one! That day you became one of us was such a glorious and happy day, but I want you to know that you were always one of us way before because your heart was in the right place to begin with, bb (i love you regardless ;) )<3 Also, not sure if anyone else has said this but whenever I see your avatar, I just want to rewatch that movie every time. LOL! If only it wasn't such a heavy film, I would.
YO ALSO, YOU MOVED TO FLORIDA?!?!?! WHERE AT, MY DOOD?! If you're close enough, maybe we can meet up sometime ~

I was just entering Bro world, knowing little about Bro caps, sent him like 20 pms in one day, he got back to me in no time. He's very knowledgeable about Bro caps and was very patient all the time. The last few are already pass mid night for him as he's in AU. Enjoyed talking to him, very good buddy. I hope we have more people like him in this community!

One day r/mechanicalkeyboards was trending and I started to look through the posts on the front page. Nothing really caught my eye and I labeled it as "meh" or "nerdy". But then I scrolled down the page and smack dab in the middle was a monkey staring at me in the face with that derpy ass smirk and I instantly fell in love. Naturally being a newb, I knew nothing about artisans/mechs so all my research led nowhere. Seriously, try googling Rustler lol. I was about to call it quits when I learned about mechmarket from some random comment. I followed the subreddit for a few days and saw some artisans come up but they were always gone within seconds. It was incredibly frustrating. Why wasn't there enough, what do I need to do to get them, can't I just order them from somewhere and be done with it? Obviously looking back on it now I was impatient, naive, and all around uninformed about the care and passion that these makers put into their work and the completely understandable reasons for the limited availability. I apologize for not understanding that artisan makers aren't Wal-Mart and that they all share a drive, passion, and creativity that I now can truly admire and respect. The Rustler ended up being my first artisan with the help from some mechmarket buddies (you know who you are). In any case, my first nomination is to Bro of course (is that ok in his own thread?) because without his work I wouldn't be in this hobby.
Once you get to a certain point, the people you meet shape who you are in this hobby. Fortunately for me I have met a handful of great people that shaped the way I conduct myself and how I view the community. My first sales thread was a KK sale (the snackeys) I missed out by minutes. There was then an after-sale which I was first to post so I was like "yea first one in baby!". Turns out KK decided to change the format to raffle only lol. And of course RNGesus failed me and I missed out twice. I could have been a whiney baby and complain, I could have given up on the hobby right there and then, or hell, I could have sent KK some hate mail on reddit (they actually get that ****. Seriously people don't be ****s. No one deserves that.) but from what I learned about the Rustler and artisan makers I accepted that it just wasn't my time. I wasn't the only one that missed out. There was no conspiracy against me. It was just an unfortunate turn of events. Can't win em all. Just hope for the next time.
A couple weeks go by and out of the blue Kudos PM'ed me with some leftover stuff that they had from the sale. I was ecstatic to say the least. After chatting for a bit Kudos tells me that the snackeys they were providing me were from their own personal stock. It wasn't a leftover sale but they felt genuinely bad that I missed out from the above events so dug into their archives for me. Seriously, KK felt bad that they could not make enough for everyone despite making, what hundreds? Seriously? After the grind of snackeys and how much work they put in (go read their blog. Koala actually got resin rashes. Who the **** gets resin rashes?) they had the time to worry about how I felt (a complete nobody) and that I missed out. Who does that? Who cares that much for a complete stranger on the internet? For all they knew, I could have been a massive douchebag that boiled chinchillas for fun. I was humbled to say the least. Keykollectiv has great people there.
Anyways, from there we started talking and Kudos taught me a lot about the artisan side of the coin. I was fortunate enough to be able to talk to Koala-T as well, who is a wonderful lady by the way and a friendship was born. You guys are ****ing great, seriously. This isn't some fanboy talking but as a friend I just want to say you guys are awesome. Thank you for PM'ing me all those months ago and trusting me. I nominate Kudos and Koala-T as true bros. I am so glad I missed out on my first ever artisan sale. Today you tomorrow me.

A lot of awesome GHers have been mentioned a bunch so I just want to add another one to the pile.
tchevass
There was a bit of a muddle up with the delivery of the caps from the triangle sale and I got the slightly wrong shade of Cherokey. Blue instead of purple. First world problems riiiight? Wrong, I'd been dreaming about that sweet sweet purply Cherokey for weeks! I got purple fever, and the only prescription is more keycaps.
Anyway, I posted up a pic on GH and cried about it like a child. tchevass, who I'd never spoken with before, alerted me that he was actually on the other end of this mix up. We exchanged a few PMs and chatted a bit and BOOM he was also in the Montreal area. This guys was willing to make a trip to meet up which, with me being a total stranger from GH, is a super nice gesture. In the end we were both pretty busy so he managed to take the time to fit a postal exchange into his schedule and my sweet sweet Brandeis Cherokey made it home :thumb: Total bro move.
Other bro 3.0 qualities: we chat on slack, his screen name has 'ass' in it and that avatar makes me feel weird inside.

<3 <3
Bunnylake is just an amazing guy, very friendly , polite and true gentleman. He's been patiently handling all the sales, and that is amazing. I'm just amazed by his professionalism; much respect
HendyZone, just because he's truly my bro. Not sure how we met, but he's the type I can rely on even for real life matters. I knew him since day 1, if I ever want a new blood related brother, it will be him; brb asking mom
Mistakemistake . He's been too kind to fix my broken pcb, amazingly talented and smart guy. Love how he spend his life, which is to the max and I enjoy chatting with him so much. He's a man of his words :)

I'd just like to say I was incredibly honored to see Binge nominate me in this thread, and I honestly teared up a little (cried a lot) after reading what he said (I'm a pretty emotional guy, it happens). I'd like to go ahead and nominate Binge back, and not just because he was gracious enough to do the same for me.
I met Binge on Slack one day near the beginning of my involvement in Slack chat, and honestly I was pretty intimidated. He's a huge deal! But he was incredibly nice to me, and I definitely didn't get the impression that he thought less of me just because I was new to the scene. We talked pretty frequently about caps and art and guitars and stuff, and it was awesome. I've been going through some really really tough personal stuff, and it was great to have such a great friend through all of it. Seriously, he's one of the most genuine and positive people I've ever met. (And even though I don't have any of his caps, they're AWESOME. LIKE WOW.)
He's got tons of talent, tons of positivity, and I wish him the best.

More seriously, he's one of the best buds around.
I also nominate DanielT and Madhias, for being super kind!
Post by: funderburker on Tue, 12 April 2016, 13:25:09
Would like to nominate him because he sold me my first Topre - almost new HHKB Pro 2 The deal was quite a rough ride but together we got through it. :D
Me and him have very little experience with PayPal so the first time around he couldn't find my address so he refunded me. Then I went to the local bank to get my refund back faster than the usual 10 working days. When I got the money I paid him again and he went to the post office and sent it to me. But before I got a the tracking number, my or his bank/PayPal requested the money from the previous invoice. I freaked out but Siraj was chill and about an hour later my money appeared in my account. Banks are sketchy as hell, I tell'ya!

Someone who i chat to regularly and keeps me sane thru having little to no access to internet from home at the moment, He helped me out by hooking me up with a hyperfuse set after missed out on the initial buy! I know he has helped out other people along the way with various things! Such a bro!

Awesome guy - he and I seem to have a lot in common. Every time I post in a thread, there he is posting there too!
His posts are generally thoughtful and well-typed, his grammar is (mostly) impeccable, he has a great avatar, and he seems to like yellow to, just like me!
It's almost like he's watching over my shoulder as I'm typing, it's kinda spooky sometimes.
Actually I see he's browsing this thread too, I bet he's going to post here soon.
Hmmm, thinking about it, it's really a bit alarming. I think he's stalking me. I saw someone I imagine looks like Rowdy at the railway station this morning, and on my train during my morning commuter. Bugger me if he wasn't on the same train coming home.
And I'm fairly certain someone was following me all the way home. I wouldn't be surprised if it was that sneaky bugger. He's stalking me!
Help!
I think I can hear him now, typing even as I'm trying to type. Oh no, it's so distracting. He stopped and listened to me as I was trying to hear what he was doing. It's creepy how he knows every time I stop typing, it's like he's watching me. Somewhere close. Really close. I can almost feel him breathing down my neck.

Rowdy needs to catch a break around here.

Regardless, in no particular order...
Mobbo - All around cool. He also sent my daughter a free artisan, and she loved it.
flfisherman - Love this guy. He gets me.
dgneo - Offered to repair (if possible) and assemble my GON and ship it back to me
bevo - Lightweight baby!
dohbot - I didn't even know who he was. Let's be honest, I still don't, but he sent my daughter a free artisan. Anyone who backs my daughter gets backed by me.
bunnylake - Everyone should have nominated him already, but I'll toss his name out there again. Seriously, this guy.
xondat - I just like this guy.
binge - His self-proclaimed grumpiness encourages me to "annoy" him, because I don't believe him. Mostly great guy. ;)
vittra - Fun dude.
Booper - Obvious reasons, but she let me pick her brain a few times and just shoot the **** with her. Definite bro.
Kudos (KeyKollectiv) - Down to earth. Chill. Respected my fanboism.
eat_the_food - This ****ing guy. Gave away his first caps, always responds to my PMs, and sent my daughter a free artisan. This dude is definitely going places (mostly to the bank to deposit "dem stacks")
scgmdx2 - Great person to talk to. This, like everyone above, is someone you want as part of the community.

mobbo - My friend, I'm so grateful to slack for having brought us together :3 I would have missed out on such a quality friend ~ From sharing our love for weeab stuff to just straight up having laughs on Slack, I'm just glad that you and I met ;) I look forward to getting to know you better ~

You are raising the future of Geekhack!
Edit: I also nominate Firebrand. Because he is a salty, whiny, doll loving, punching bag. And honestly he takes so much goddam **** from everyone on slack, but is one of the nicest, and strangest friends I have made on Geekhack. From his crazy videos throwing caps around to feeding his ass off in League of Legends, this guy is a true Aubrogene.

funny, I had you in mind.
I lurked around for a few months and saw Rowdy around. He had this crazy post count and on alot of forums I am on, people with high thread count tend to be elitists . I made my welcome most and Rowdy responded. I felt soo good. From then on wards i sam him alot always helping always nice. Then during CV I saw people went to even making that ridiculously funny poster. I don't he seems to me like rowdy is the ultimate bro. I think i might have a little forum crush on him - no homo - :p
