That would break the system. :)

Joking aside, I would like to suggest nominating you Tom. I know that might sound like creeping, but that is not my intent, in all seriousness, to me it seems obvious that the person who came up with the idea of Avsim should receive such an award, because that was indeed a brilliant idea, and everyone who has ever had anything out of Avsim has benefited from it, and that is a lot more than 186,282 people.

Well, I appreciate that Al, but I am not eligible (and neither are you - staff members don't qualify). I will change the rules to reflect that.

[Chock 17,769]

Well, in that case, I nominate CoolP. He's always very helpful on the forums, and very knowledgable.

Word Not Allowed (Srdan Kostic) His hard work and constant testing of FSX configurations and video card driver settings has got my fsx running as smooth as ever.

[Chock 17,769]

Word Not Allowed won't be elgible. See Tom's post above.

I nominate Paul J. He has consistently provided knowledgeable advice couched in respectful and helpful terms. His willingness to "hang in there" with folks makes him a great source of support.

I have to go with ******* Bojote, for all the undocumented tweaks he has found in FSX and his Shader 3.0 work!!

[Tabs 2,790]

Ray Smith for his devotion to providing high quality free AFCADs for the community.

[twharrell 38]

John Loney, for his past and continuing contributions to the AVSIM scenery library (he has provided numerous airport sceneries and object libraries), and for the number of people he has mentored and/or assisted with scenery design. John gives a lot of himself to the AVSIM community.
