7bit. For all the replies to questions, Doubleshot group buy, Cherry MX group buy and the HyperMini and HyperMicro idea.

Ascaii. I'm not sure why, I just think he's a real HQ member. (I think I love him).

Edit: Moved my nomination of DanielB to Wiki contributions.
I'll nominate Mr. Interface for forum contributor. Pioneer of the 'Try before you buy' section I think and inspiration for others who have contributed in this way.

CeeSA for all the mods he does that allways remind me of how uncapable I am at those things ;)

Yes, but should maybe be suggested in Best wiki contributor? Great work Daniel!

Woops that's what I thought I was doing. I'll move my nomination to there. Although they are kind of similar awards I guess.

bpiphany, for designing multiple custom keyboard PCBs, including the Phantom PCB, the Filco replacement controller, and the incredible ErgoDox PCB that the same PCB can be used for the left half or the right half of ErgoDox, directly lowering the cost of ErgoDox's PCB manufacturing cost. He learned how to design keyboard PCBs on his own, and brought us the custom firmware to go with his PCBs. His *conribution* to the forum is more than just his posts in threads. He brought custom keyboards to all of us.

Don't forget the symmetrical stagger keyboard, I've just got my hands on the PCB and plate. It looks amazing.

Yes, +symetrical stagger keyboard. And his idea of creating a switch plate cutout that allows stem/spring swapping without desoldering.

bpiphany, because he's Swedish. :P No but, Phantom, need you say more? He's already been nominated though, it seems.

Soarer, because of his great converter. I'll also nominate fossala, because of all his efforts to help the community.

Lastly I'll nominate glossywhite, because of his efforts to ruin the community. I feel a lot of people will give him a vote (or maybe not).
