Title: (Late) Happy Holidays Giveaway
Post by: Vibex on Thu, 08 January 2015, 02:06:37
So I promised back in November that I would do a Holiday Giveaway. Then I dropped off the face of the planet, but I'm back now. And need to make good on that promise.
So, to stay in the spirit of giving, I have 5 mystery caps up for grabs. To enter, put down the names of two people you think should receive a cap. The winner will receive one cap, and two will go to each of the people they recommended. I will end this a week from now. So get in all your entries. :thumb:

Yay, I love give aways.  Thanks for setting this up.

The 2 people that I think should get caps are Synjin since he is so excited about this hobby and booper so that she can put something on that lovely jd40.

I can't read and made a joke showing I can't read.  Mine will be coming soon.

1.  Photekq.  He's always a lot of help and friendly.  He's helping (and by helping I mean doing all the hard work) me with a case idea I had and helping make it a reality.

2.  Hoffmanmyster, because he keeps it real.

There are many more and choosing just two was tough.

I would have to say nubbinator and swill. Both have made excellent contributions to this community, and both have been generous and extremely kind hearted (at least since I have been here  ;) ). They both deserve a nice cap!  :)

1. dcanon, hes an awesome new member here. He can use a little help to start his collection.
2. Rowdy, since hes always helping out members of this community, new and veteran members.

These are the two members on top of my head that made me enjoy and stay in this community.
Im sure everyone is amazing and deserves this, so good luck yall!

Thanks for running this Vibex!

I would like to nominate Matt3o and Bunnylake for all they have done and continue to do for the community. Matt3o for taking on the monumental task of trying to get PBT Topre spacebars as well as continuing to create wonderful keysets and Bunnylake for being a great community leader and all around helpful and generous person.

sheesh, there are so many great people on this forum, it's hard to nominate just two for this...

I nominate:

Flyersfan1 and skcheng

much respect for doing this, Vibex!

Title: Re: (Late) Happy Holidays Giveaway
Post by: strict on Thu, 08 January 2015, 10:33:31
- BunnyLake
- jdcarpe

Two of the most generous and contributory members we have. They are both extremely altruistic and always patient and respectful. There are tons of other people who stand out as good nominations but in my mind those two are truly exceptional and deserving of some free swag!

Thanks for putting this together, Vibex!

Glad everyone is enjoying the giveaway. :p Keep the entries coming.

Dorkvader
+1. Seriously, if anyone deserves to win, he's certainly up there.

I would just give dorkvader a cap. He's an awesome person to hang out with, and is a massive help to the community. Last time we were talking about artisan caps though he said he didn't really care about them. He would rather just have tons of boards. :)) So I need to get some rare boards before I have a good gift for him. :rolleyes:

I'd like to nominate Vibex for having the weirdest NMH photoshop job as avatar...

or:
drhubblephd for free soldering and modding services in the US, and just being a nice guy overall. quite an awesome thing to do despite being relatively new to the hobby.
I also think HoffManMyster should get one to put in his beard, when he isn't shaving it. so make sure it matches the colour of it.

:P

Ok guys so in my infinite wisdom I thought I was leaving for college next Sunday. Not sure how I screwed that up, but If anyone could it would be me. So I have to end this giveaway before I leave which will be early tomorrow morning. So midnight tonight is the cutoff. If you want to get in, submit NOW. Super sorry about the **** up. I'll have to make it up with a better giveaway in the future. ;) :rolleyes: ;)

Thanks for the giveaway!

I choose Azhdar because he is the only geekhacker I met IRL. He's a nice guy, he helped me a ton explaining things and letting me try his boards.

The second person is Spicebar. He's one of the first I really talked with when I arrived in this community. He gave me so many pieces of advice and was really nice to me. He took the time to explain very basic stuff when I was in confusion. I consider him a friend even though I'll probably never meet him IRL.
